THE HAND OF A FRIEND

We struggle through life with its sorrows and cares
Before us Its pitfalls, around its snares
And often the heart would adrft cast its load
And leave it forever alongside the road;
Though many the shadows that meet . Ell the way,
Across it falls often hope7giying ray
And the clouds disappear which SO dark DER us bend
AT the magical touch Of the hand Of friend.
It lightens and it strengthens the weak,
The hue cfthe i brings back to the cheek;
The chords of the soul that were silent 50 long
1t strikes with the notes Of wonderful song;
The grasp of hand that is honest and true
Refreshes the mind ike the Orient dew,
And it seems that the blessings Of cycles descend
When we feel the soft touch Of the hand of friend
Ger mountains and deserts we wander affair."
Our couch is a cot meath pities star;
But there, even there in the strangers abode,
We dream of the touch that can lift sorrows load;
For friendship the hearts Of the faithful doth bind
With the ties that forever unite humankind;
With an ocean between and home, we can blend
Our joys with the touch of the hand of a friend.
would not exchange for the diadems Of old
The grasp Of the hand never sordid and cold;

And we crown with our blessing the hand of a friend.

south to the Twin Cities, and
"Whereas, Amendment No. adopt

"Whereas, The establishment of
such a trunk highway would afford
q direct outlet along the shortest
route to the Twin Cities for approx
mately $4,000 people,
"Now therefore, be it resolved, by
the Kiwanis CLUB Of Bemidji that the
commissioner of highways for the
state of Minnesota be urged to give
due consideration to the proposition
outlined above in order that such a
route may be constructed at the
earliest possible. date"
The resolution is signed by A. D.

INJUSTICE OF VARYING
PENAL LAWS ASSAILED
Different Penalties for Same
Crime in Many States; Now
Seeking Uni6cation

Washington, April ID Capital
News Scrvice)-Senator Capper, of
Kansas, has recently introduced bill
lin the Senate to eliminate capital
punishment in the District of Column
bia. E. E. budding, president of the
prisoners Relief Society, an organi-
zation devoted to assisting men and
women who have served terms in the
penitentiary and have no friends Of
their own when they come out, has
written Senator Capper, asking that
he include in his bill an amendmnt
looking to the unification of penalties
in the different states of the union.
Citing examples from the West
Virginia penitentiary, where there are
200 Federal prisoners, Mr.. budding
says: "One'is there for second-dcgree
murder, and has life, while beside
him are hundred men serving five
years for second-degree murder.
There is one Federal convict serving
life for manslaughter, and in the cell
with him is state prisoner with
five vars for the same charge.
"The highest penalty in Louisiana
for larceny is two years, while in Con-
ncticut it is twenty years. In West
irginia you steal $20-it is thirty
days in Jail. If you take $21, then you
get ten years. If you want to stop
crime and unrest, make laws just"
A further instance is noted in the
daily press, in which a judge who
sentenced a man to prison for three
vars for burglary, calld him back to
the bar and re-sentenced him to six
years when the prisoner was rude to
the court.

WOMAN JUDGE HAS FOUR
HAPPY MARRIAGE RULES

Cleveland, April IA Omitted Press)
Florence E. Allen, perhaps
Americas most widely known wo-
man jurist, has four rules for happy
marriages. They are: =.
The wife should have regular
allowance. Money matters cause
many divorces.
The husband should make bust
ness partner of his wife She should
share his confidence in all matters
The wife should be sympathetic.
The wife should never nag her hus.
band. She should work with him.
In the last two terms of court
Judge Allen has tried 1877 divorce
cases, more than have been tried by
any other two judges in the same
period.
Amplifying her four rules, Judge
Allen offers some pertinent opinions
on. the divorce evil" in America.
"Hasty marriages are the most
common cause of divorce. Young
people of today marry hastily not
realizing the personal responsibility
They are ready to quit at the first
quarrel.
: II recall one divorce petition where
the quarrel was over the naming OF
a baby. It was their first quarrel, too
reconciled them. Women some.
times make the lives of their hus-
bands miserable by nagging."
Most divorce laws, Judge Allen be-
.1ieyes, are not too liberal, but are toe
literally administered.
"The longer a case is pending the
greater chance there is for reconcile.
ation," she declared. "Often when a
case is called I find that the parties
are made up, and don't want separa.
tion." She has reconciled 1O1 couples
and granted 246 divorces.
