REALLY DESERVING OF PITY
Those Who Allow Themselves to Get
into the Habit of Self-Excuse
Are Unfortunate.

The tendency to self-eXCuse is typi-
cal of the cOnceited. They simply will
not see themselves for what they are
persons who have great deal 10
learn. And because they will not adj
init even to themselves that they need
self-lmprovement they remain perpet-
ually in need of 1t.
Are not persons thus conditioned
more deserving of pity than Of con
tempt? Even their monumental self
satisfaction should not make pOOple
laugh at them. Poor souls. Life to
them is a game of blind mans buff,
in which they are forever "it," forever
cropping wildly. hut never graSping.
No truer words have been ppnned
than RuSkin's. "COnceit may puff n
man up. but not prop him up" And
how sadly hard it is to convince the
conceited that they are conceited, and
thus save them from the painful penal
tics Of conceit.-H. AddingtOn Bruce

DENLY, Veteran of Two Wars

Edwin DENLY ought to be able to

uncle was a fleet surgeon. A great
uncle commanded a mosquito fleet in
the Civil war anu his father was
colonel. The new secretary went with
the Michigan naval militia in 1898 and
as a gunner's mate on the Yosemite,
was under fire at San Juan, Cuba.

age. An enlisting officer of the ma

TN THE pursuit of happiness women

for what is Easter without the inspira-

The quest has reached the acute stage

In March. Well. the business school fees
have been raised from sl2 per month to $50,
so IL would not do to send her there to learn

her spelling at home before send her to

To Reduce Crime

TO tho Edito- or the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-I think VIC would find that crime
would Re much less prevalent n some method
were devised whereby persons bting iiber-
ated from iall would be given employment
" some kind until they were in n position
to help themselves. instead Of taking TO ban
ditry TO support themselves Every day our
jnils and dctc ation places are being vacated
by thoa, who have served their terms. They
walk out free men. but with no place to
go. 1t has often been a wonder TO me why
no provision was made for such persons.
When arrested they we're probably employed
al some place, and when liberated natu-
rally they cannot return TO the samc en-
ployment. and. In fact, are branded. and 1t
Ir very difficult for them to live down the
past.
No one seems TO want to employ Young
man because he has been in jail believe
n. is less likely to be IA criminal again
than the young man who has never been

enc 10 assist him. He needs n guiding hand.
He should not be allowed to drift back to
his old companions In crime. who may not
have been detected. II It Is possible to save
him from their clutches.
This would be a great work for a chari-
table organization. the rehabilitation Of the
man who has served a Jail sentence II
should not be a difficult task to help him.
md I am sure. IN nine cases out OF ten.
Il would be fully appreciated. Thousands
of young men could be saved In this way.
There may be such an organization. but II
there Is. have never heard Of II.
