do condemn thee. Go and sin no
more" This hobo carpenter, Jesus,
understood, pitied and sympathized
with his unfortunate sister. Had Je-
sus had home he no doubt would
have, taken her in, as Debs did.
1 believe it would be more profita-
bic to discuss the problem of getting
rid of the, cause of prostitution than
to try to solve the problem Of dis
posing of it under existing condi-
lions.
Give this "lost sister, love and
freedom and the full product of her
labor and I assure you she will not
lead a life of sin. She has a right to
all she can produce, a right to all the
necessities as well as luxuries of
life that any other person has. Surely
no woman would become a prostf-
tute if she were treated fair and
square by mankind.
Prostitution did not exist. among
primitive men. Why should it exist
among civilized nations?
To me the prostitute is as beau
tiful, sweet and pure as a lily as COM

extortionists, war lords and the 81

Looking backward you will see
how we have stoned to death this
'1ost sister of ours, burned her at
the stake, branded her with scarlet
letters, abused her. damned her,
cursed her, and now we jail her, fine
her and drive her from place to
place. And why? Because she loves
life and chooses, to live a life of sin
in preference to a life worse than
death, a life in which she would be
half-fed, half-clothed and half-shel-
tered; life without the smallest ray
OF happiness. It may seem human
to condemn her. butit is not fair. \

A MINE OF QUOTATIONS
lKansas City starN

(Nansas City StarD
 No single poem in the English language perhaps has contributed many lines that have passed into currency of quotations Grays famous elegy. It is veritable mine of epigrammatic nuggets that have enriched the language of orators and writers and be- come such familiar property that their origin is all most forgotten and they seldom now receive the cred it of quotation marks. Here few of them that will be recognized as old friends:
 "The short and simple annals of the poor"
 Rich with the spells Of time"
 "The paths of glory lead but to the grave"
 And freeze the genial currents of the soul"
 Full many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste in the desert air"

 Fen in ashes live their wOnted fires.

 ITO wade through slaughter to throne"
 The inspirational influences of the poem have been far reaching Thomas Hardy's most famous boOk-and the best of his earlier nOyes-'The Mad ding Crowd" derived it's title and perhaps its in- spiration of the oftQuoted lines of the olegy It is told of Daniel Webster that when he being driven Co the capital to deliver his reply to HGyne he heard by one of his companions 10 murmer over and over again as he rode along the words: "The applause of listening senates to command" It will also be remembered thR Wolfe. the COnQuerer of Quebec read this poem in his tent the night before the battle on the Plains of Abraham and said:

RAIsIN PIGS ON RAIsINs

According to Farm and Family. pigs fed on a mix ture of California raisins and selected grains are thrifty"
 There was a time when nobody had much respect for any quality of the hog save his supposedly inde structibIe digestive apparatus. He expected tc subsist upon what he could root up in the woods until he should reach fullnedged hOghOOd and present the owner a sufficiently expansive exterior to make it obviously profitable to fatten him by putting him in @ pen and dumping corn into a muddy enclosure. That was when hogs were worth and cents pound and when corn was sometimes burned as a substitute for stoyewood in States west of the Mississippi, where ground better. than transportation facilities and where coal not a local product.
 Nowadays scientific farmers feed their pigs as scientifically as their children should be fed to get the best results in the form of build" and general health
 A concrete bath for pen of pigs, supplanter Of the old.fashioned nsantary mud-hOle, is not uncom mon.

He added, no doubt a gentle and soothing massage after each bath thus inducing sumber and pleasing swnish dreams Of gorg- ing so deceiying that the SOW Iattened upon them while she slept

ANGUS CHISHOLM
 CUT HIS THROAT
 FROM EAR TO EAR


 Bathed in his own blood, and with l his throat cut from ear to ear the
 body of Angus Chisholm, one of the , pioneer business men of Valdez, was found in his room over the Sen ate saloon about 2 o'clock this after noon, says the Valdez Prospector of Jan. 12. He had been dead for some hours.
 So far as can be learned there was no cause for the rash act, nor had Mr. Chisholm ever exhibited any signs that such an act was contem- plated. He had not been in the best of health for some time, but his ailment was not of such charac- ter as to lead to despondcncy.
 Yesterday noon Mir. Chisholm, who was interested in the Senate Saloon relieved Sam Jenson while the latter went to dinner and on Mir. Jensons return he sat in his office for a time and then went up to his room over the saloon. He was apparently in his usual jovial spirit and made no reference to feeling badly or that he contemplated the rash act. As he frequently kept to his room for 24 hours at time, nothing was thought of the fact that he did not come down stairs next morning.
 About o'clock Mir. Jenson re- quested J. D. Hamilton to go up to Chlsholm's room and see if he did not wish something to eat. On en- tering the room Hamilton was hor. rlfied to find Chisholm covered with blood and a gaping wound in his throat. He immediately gave the alarm and Doctors Boyle and Silver. man were called in. An examiation by these physicians led to the dis. cOvery that the body was cold and that the victim had been dead for probably 24 hours, indicating thsE he had committed the rash act within a few minutes of the time he went Co his room. On the bed, by his side, was a razor, covered with blood, giving evidence as to the wea- pon employed.
 MT. Chisholm had been q resident of Valdez for a number of years, dur ing which time he had gained wide circle of aCquaintances and friends. Of a most amiable disposition, he always had a smile and a pleasant word for everybody, and is probably the last man in Valdez who would be expected to take his own life. For several years past he has been l engaged in the liquor business. being | a partner in the Senate saloon.
 Mir. Chisholm was born in Nova | Scotia and was about 45 years of age. He was unmarried

BUT WHY NOT?
(Ketchikan Progressive-lIiner)

A man came in last evening and said that he had been at the court house and had heard for the first time in his long life jury recommending that the man they had found guilty, be given the limit of the law
 While this recommendation may be unusual, and all that, yet we often hear of a jury recommending leniency. and think nothing of it If is proper to recommend leniency, why isn't 1t proper mend severity!
 A jury will recommend leniency when in the minds of the iurymen the punishment imposed by the law is too severe for the Oftense; but like in yeser. days the law is too easy and the jury did re- markedly well to recommend the limit. The pity of 1t is that the jury could not add to that law. That jury was evidently composed of men with a well de- yeloped of decency and the courage of their viction. How much better the world would be If we had more Of them is question that every aw-abidng citizen readily answer
