values; their only object in life is the attain
ment of material successes. A form of
Kultur based upon gross materialism; which
regards women as belonging in the same
category as household goods, exposes its
utter fallacy. A Kultur which systematical-
ly makes preparation to throw its children
into the holocaust of war to further purely
materialistic ends, is a form of national
bestiality; in the light of democracy its
tenets sound like the dwelling mouthings
of a nation of paranoics. A form of
government which cannot see anything
spiritual Cor seeing, will disregard), in the
sanctity of motherhood; Kultur which
prepared to sacrifice even unborn children
on the altar of materialism is a viper-creed,
spawned in the lowest pits of He'll; there is
only one answer possible to make to the
men who wish to impose upon us such a
creed; and that answer will be fired from
the mouths of millions of guns held in the
hands of true Americans who are willing to
sacrifice themselves that the rest of man
kind may preserve its traditional love and
respect for home and mother, and wife and
daughter.

sleep! Ladies' Sleep

Sleep! laddies sleep! by Scotia's storm-lash-
ed craigs,
Where boom of wave shall be as minute
gun
For those departed souls who gave their all
To love of country, and went forth to fall
In Freedom cause; who died at duty s call
Nature salutes as long as Time shall run.
+ 1t seems to me on moonlit nights
When bluebells nod as if in sleep,
Der banks and braes in misty lights
Spirits of old their vigils keep:
Wallace, the Bruce, and warriors bold
Will wander to those hillside graves
And smile, to think like they of old,
Our laddies never would be slaves.
Sleep! laddies sleep! by Scotia's storm-lash-
ed craigs,
Alantic's waves stretch to your own.dear
land.
And when the wind is blowing from the
West
A message watts to those that stood the
test
Our love, our tears, O., softly may you rest
Ger sweep of waters joining strand to strand.

Life Softly Clides Away

How softly glides the stream of life to some
On through the meadows sweet and fair to
see; y
Winding its Nay the silent hills among,
But oh! how strange is life sometimes to
you and me.
To me the softly gliding has been rare
Tis true I've traversed meadows sweet and
fair;
But then such seasons did not linger long
had no power their moments to prolong.
Yet love nature much and more than most
That have met on life sore travelled road;
Still could not linger-duty calls too loud,
And duty's voice to me was the voice OF
God.
I'm not fault finding over what has been
But wondering if fault could not be found;
I'm sure no fault is His who made the
world,
For it is perfect, beautiful and round.
The fault if any lies at my own door
might have seen much more than l have
seen;
Yet as said little while before,
have not my own master fully been.
The cramping need, the dire necessity
Of life with me, has fettered all around;
Have had to live in such obscurity,
And by thousand circumstances bound.
Still have seen far more than millions have
Whose dark existence was far worse than
mine.
For which am ever thankful and will be
Thankful also there's much more to see.

good and evil; God and devil; Heaven and
hell; work and play; art and science; fame
and glory; love and hate; faith and patience;
Joy and sorrow-all these and more men

thing. Let US understand mans part among
them and their true place in mans life.
Why? Ever an unanswered why.
'Back to my chair and books aud thoughts
turned. Defeated 1 felt-and despair.
Failing when life was bright and Turing and
filled with pleasures untold what avail to
strive to live for the future such failure fore
told? My quest had come to be more than
finding a reason, a purpose. Much more.
What sought now was life itself to me.
CHOW follow me closely and understand
me right. The Bible is my favorite book.
Not because of any deep religious feeling or
belief. 1 understand little of religion
orthodox religion at any. rate. Christianity
seems simple thing to me-'Do unto
others is the sum of it all.
81 do not understand great portion of
the Bible. Who does? l wonder-whol
But it is inspiring. 1t is filled with humanity
in the making. Humanity in all its naked
ness surrounded by no setting of words to
distract attention. The human heart in
terest found here is not to be had any other
where. Love and war and trickery and
faithfulness and achievement-all are there.
1t is an index to mans character.
81 like most to read about David. A
king and a shepherd boy. A coward and a
mighty warrior. A devout man and sim
full one. Just-and deceitful. David! thy
name is Romance-Life!
81 like most his songs. The Psalms are
the elimination of all his experience and
learning and desires. So, sat me down to
read-and perchance to forget. Now here
now there. A truth, thought, a pic

Chaplain Jones' Address


At Wednesday evenings MAY 15th)
movie entertainment Warden Reed, prior TO
the beginning of the pictures, introduced
Rev. w. H. Jones, formerly chaplain of the
U. S. Batleship Texas. Chaplain Jones is
speaker of great power and delivered his
address to the inmates with tone of inten-
sity that left no doubt in the minds of his
hearers that every word spoke was sincere
and came from the very depths of his heart.
The hearty and repeated applause greeting
him throughout his address was proof suf-
ficient that he was a speaker capable of
holding the closest attention.
He opened his address with humorous
account of the ''first time he was in jaiI''-
his first visit to penal institution for the
purpose of addressing the inmates. Not
thinking of the nature of the place and
much to the delight of the inmates, he be-
gan his remarks with the usual stereotyped
phrase: 81 am pleased to see 50 many of
you here today" and for the moment
wondered why everyone was laughing, and
then he ''caught on to his slight breach of
etiquette, which he fastened to remedy in
the best manner possible.
Chaplain Jones gave US a very good &C
count of the part the Kaiser attempted to
play in the taking of Manila. May l, 1898,
and how Admiral Dewey with the help of
the British admiral frustrated the German
emperor's plans to mix in the conflict and
get control of the Philippine Islands. Even
as far back as that time, said the Chaplain,
the Kaiser was planning his rule of con-
quest and that if it hadn't been for the
presence of rhe British feet his ships of war
would have undoubtedly "mixed it, with
the American squadron.
He also told of numerous atrocities COM
mitted by the Germans against the Belgian
and French women and children, and as
they are too narrowing to even think of, we
will not attempt to set down description
of the acts of savagery and barbarism that
| would put to shame the cruelties practised
by the old-time American Indians and
African Zulus.
Chaplain Jones closed his address with an
exhortation to the inmates to do all they
could, even though they are in prison, to-
ward helping to win the war. f'Do all you
can, for the country needs all the help it
can get, both from military and industrial
standpoint. And you are not only needed
in the industrial field, but it won't be long
before you will have your place in the
ranks. So give all there is in you for Free
dom and-Mother. B.

Even the rattlesnake uses his fangs only
in self defense.
For the race of life, "self- starter is
a mighty good thing.
In trying times, mans voice should
be just as strong as his impulse.
of course, we're all in hurry, but
taps sounds sweeter than ''reveille.'
-Autocracy is the political skunk. At
ter while there will be only the laugh.
"A great secret of government success is
to keep the people in good humor.
If inanimate things could exult, how
the old backlog would laugh at the coal

1t may get so pretty soon that the
most liberal giver will be the one who drops

much inspiration man has. he gets grouchy

voted to what he calls "the big central

Memories

There's an old-fashioned house in an old
fashioned street,
In quaint, little old-fashioned town;
There's street where the cobbIestones
harass the feet,
AS it struggles uphill and then down;
And, tho to and fro through the world l
must 60,
My heart while it beats in my breast,
Where e'er may roam, to that old fashioned
home
Will fly like bird to its nest.
In that old-fashioned house in that old
fashioned street,
Dwell dear little old-fashioned pair;
l can see their two faces so tender and sweet,
And love every wrinkle that's there.
l love every mouse in that old-fa>hioned
house
In the street that runs up hill and down,
Each stone and each stick, ev'ry cobble and
brick,
In that quaint little old-fashioned town.

We have noted many different kinds Of
birds on the lawns inside our prison walls,
but never yet have we seen a member of the
wild game family until last Friday afternoon
when Chinese pheasant flew over the south
wall and roamed around on the grass as un-
concerned as if it were in its native woods.
1t became frightened, however, when a
runner approached with the intention of
catching it and few back over the wall
and disappeared among the trees.
The Ninth Federal Reserve District,
comprising the states of Montana, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota,
tine Northern half of Wisconsin and the
upper peninsula of Michigan, has made the
best per capita showing of any of the Re-
serve districts in the United States in the
Third Liberty Loan Bond campaign.
Good! Who says anything about disloyaltyl
Wells gave the finest exhibition of
pitching Saturday that has been witnessed on
the N. S. P. diamond recently. Lee, who
tossed the first five innings, pitched indiffer-
ent ball and his support was very weak, so
weak, in fact, that it was the direct cause
of the majority of the visitors runs. The
team was allowed to continue in its weak
condition to the sixth inning when it was
thought advisable to put in stronger material.
So Wells went into the box and change
made at third and short, after which the
visitors never passed first base. Considering
the excellent hitting ability of the visitors
Wells pitching can only be described as
spectacular.
After our horticulturists had labored
hard and with painstaking care to plant
vegetable garden about two blocks south
of the prison, high wind came up Thurs
day, May 16, and lifted about three-fourths
of the garden, dirt, plants and all, up in
the air and deposited it on the roofs of the
buildings. No doubt the plants will grow
just as we'll up on the roofs and if they
should the result will be watched with great
interest; for, should they take root it will
solve the food problem for future generations
when the world becomes over-populated
and land scarce.
Last Monday, May Doth, the great
nationwide Red Cross campaign to raise
$1O0, 900, 900 began. Each county through
out the United States has been allotted what
was considered its fair share of this total
sum. The allotment plan, which proved
so popular during the Third Liberty Loan
campaign will be adopted, although allot-
ments will be made as low as one dollar.
By reducing the allotments it., planned
that all can contribute to the great work in
hand and each share in contributing di-
rectly to the welfare of our men in the
army.

Leaves From Oar Poets.
It Was The Road to Jericho

1t was the road to Jericho,
And brave indeed the man
Who went alone and waited not
To join the caravan.
For robber hordes swooped down the cliffs
Like eagles on their prey,
And mercy was not known to them,
Theirs but to kill and slay.
Along the road to Jericho
A man went riding by,
He heard a groan of mortal pain,
He heard piercing cry.
He got him down from off his beast.
He found the one who bled,
The thieves had bruised and beaten him
And left him we'll nigh dead.
(The Levite and the priest had passed,
The calls to them were vain).
He bound his wounds. With oil and wine
He eased the grievous pain.
Then to the inn he carried him
And paid the Keepers price,
AS one who does deed for love,
Nor counts it sacrifice.
Lo, as he passed upon his way,
His robe it showed a stain
Two red marks on his white sleeve, where
The bleeding head had lain.
Two red, red lines which made a cross,
And marked him as the man
Whose name is, till the end of time,
1.-The Good Samaritan
The World pressed towards its Jericho,
The goal of its desire
Its marts, its pleasures and its shrines,
Its dreams of great empire.
A hoard of gold it bore along
To barter and to buy,
But on the road, by thieves beset, .
1t, too, was left to die.
The Son of God came down that way
To succour and to save.
To bind its wounds, to heal its sin
To lift it from tte grave.
Lo, He too, went upon His way
When he had paid the price,
Marked by the red, red lines that make
The Cross of Sacrifice.
Now onward to our Jericho
We press with bated breath,
For evil grows the way, and dark.
On every hand stalks death.
The robber hordes that strip and slay
Take more than gold, forsooth,
They kill our hottest of Hopes
They take all Love-all Youth!
Oh, who shall staunch such world wide
Such universe of pain?
And who has oil and wine enough?
And must they cry in vain?
Nay! On the road to Jericho
There be million now,
Who bear Christ's pity in their hearts,
His sign upon their brow.
And millions more shall follow them
To bind and to restore,
Till all the highway is made safe
And war shall be no more.
Now God give grace to all who bear,
And may His love suffice
To blaze upon each heart this
The Cross of Sacrifice.
