I A. Cuvilier of the New York Leg
islature, has caused more muir

of the fact that a highwayman or
burglar well knows when he goes

Much can be done by the courts
and the criminal authorities.
There is too much delay in hand
ling criminal cases. There Is too
much leniency shown by some of
the courts. There is too much
coddling of criminals when, and if,
they finally do reach prison.
In nine cases out of ten, under
the misguided system now in vo-
que in many of the States, the
criminal lives far better in prison
than he does outside and this is
especially true of murderers,
whether they finally go to the
chair or not.
All of this should be stopped.
When a mt derer Is arrested, he
should be brought TO trial with
the least delay consistent with alb
solute justice. Under the English
system, once n murderer is brought
to trial, and that is as promptly
as possible. NO technicaiities are
permitted to interfere with tha
rapid procedure of the trial

Leo XIII and Plus xi Said to Have
Been Familiar With the British
Metropolis.

The new pope, Plus XI, visited Lon
don as well as oxford In early life,
IN the latter place especially the great
Bodleian library naturally attracting
such great scholar. He was himself
librarian of the great Vatican library,
and known everywhere ns II boOkIOver.
1t was said that the late Pope Leo
NH knew his way about London bet

had spent much time there before be-
Ing raised to the papacy, exploring
the slums and other problems In the
metropolis.
Pope Leo NH was the only one Of
that exalted rank who ever sat In the

distinguished strangers gallery, at
that. He also is said to have enioye,l
the hospitality of Lord Pnlmerston
under that distinguished statesman's

his exaltation to the papacy.

world BY the band leaders men. Thir.
ty-two Of the master musicians who
make up the Sousa organization are
ex-seryice men, and nearly all are af-
filiated with the Legion. They come
from every part Of the country and
saw service In every branch Of this
country's military organization dur.
Ing the war.
When Sousa took hold Of the Great
Lakes band It was a group Of sailors,
whose right to play under him could
have come only with their enllsting
with the crowd that took 'em over"
What he did with this group of mu.
sical talent became known the country
over. What they learned under Sousa
couldn't have been learned anywhere
else. and the finer points of the mu.
siclan's art are being shown to the
hundreds Of Legion posts whose per-

the gobs who made up the largest

being during the war.

Of his learning so much Of their prop
uganda and plottings.
His home Is In Toledo, O., where
the American Legion has as Its COM
mander this same Gustavus Ohlinger.
The Legion convention was In full
blast In his home city when wealthy
Toledoan burst In and announced that
he would pay the entire expense Of
the ex-service mems gathering II they
would drop their bonus stand. What
Ohlinger told him was never learned
from five-foot shelf, but 1t was good
enough to cause hurried exit on the
part Of the Toledo business man.
That's why the Legionnaires like him.
Kid gloves might be alright to use
sometimes, but Ohlinger doesn't draw
them on when he tackles Legion prob
lens.
Born of German parentage In China,
close friend Of the late Theodore
Roosevelt, world traveller and famed
MS having ridden bicycle across
South Africa are few OF the things
that show why Gus stands ace high
with the Legion men and also why he
must be reckoned with by any group

OF the troop movements Of Gen. WI

AN AGRARIAN PARTY

The concerted action of the dele
gates to the recent National Farm Con-
ference, and their determination to put
agriculture on parity with other in
terests has caused no little feeling of
uneasiness among the leaders of the
two major political parties.
While it is conceded that no active.
leadership has been developed. and no.
formal attempt has been made 10 or
ganize a. farmers party that would att
tract following from both parties.
they have arrived at full realization
that such an agrarian party is not an
impossibility unless the present party
leaders modify their policies to con-
form to the demands of agriculture.
The handwriting is on the wall. 1t
remains to be seen whether the present
political parties will so modify their
programs as to satisfy the firm inten-
ton of the farmer to obtain his just
due, or whether their inaction will re-
suit in split of the present party
ranks and the organization Of ma
tlon-wide, farmer movement along new
party lines--Modern Farming.

comes before profession Of creed. Con-
ventional piety unless supported and
backed up by good conduct counts for
nothing. A life of truth carries its own
internal evidence with it. Ii can only
be arrived at by. scientific thinking;
and it must be attended to before the
reign of equity sln prevail.
"A penny for your thoughts" How
often has this been asked9 And what
we think, SO we are; for thoughts are
things, and they reflect themselves in
our character, our disposition, and
in everything we do in life. Right
thinking then is our salvation; for
whatever conclusion arrived at that is
the result Of wrong thinking, we must
bear its results during life and-after-
wards. 1t is true that we may re-
trace our steps, providing there is a
desire for truth and right thinking !,
but the road is narrow and there are
but few who persevere and find it.
