1t is folly to squander money, es-
pecially union money, but it is worse
than folly to refuse to supply what
money is needed when it is needed,
especially when it is simply matter
of raising dues few cents month
to turn the trick.

we are of it, we become strong be-
cause we are in accord with eternal
life and truth. Back of every human
achievement, at the bottom of all pro-
gress is faith, inspiring and leading.
When humanity has plenty, when its
bins are full of the harvest, it relaxes
somewhat, and sometimes forgets
faith. When faith is forgotten, fear,
and those evils that associate with it,
envy and malice, prey on man. When
the great war broke out humanity had
been walowing in materialism, and
forgetting faith in right and eternal
truth, had been possessed with fear
and envy.
Long years of strife and suffering
have again brought mankind to its
knees. Out of the torment of his soul,
mankind will turn to faith for help.
And again will faith guide humanity
along the path of progress and truth.

so wish that there were some Won
derful place
Called the Land of Beginning Again.
Where all our mistakes and all our
heartaches
And all our poor selfish grief,
Could be dropped like a shabby old
coat at the door,
And never put on any more.
In the above verses written by an
inmate of Sing Sing prison, New
York, the writer pours out his very
soul in wishing that there was a land
of beginning again for those who
have made mistakes; for those who
have taken the wrong turn on the life
path; who have strayed from home,
or lost their way in the world; for
those who failed and never had
another chance to try.
The most pathetic thing about pris-
oners, especially those who have long
sentences, or who are convicted for
life, is that they haven't a chance to
begin again, except to try to improve
their own characters. And the motive
for this is gone for most convicted
prisoners, because they see their
chance out in life of action beyond
their prison walls, and only there;
they can't see any chance is prison to
do much of anything but to obey the
rules and orders to avoid further pun
ishment and loss of privilege.
| don't believe that society has any
right, under any circumstances, to
deprive any human being, whatever
he may have done, from having
another chance to begin again, a
chance to make good 1t is crime on
the part of society to take even from
a murderer his chance to somehow
somewhere, begin all over again, to
refuse him an opportunity to try to
redeem the tag ends of his life and to
atone, so far as possible, for his past
offenses against society and himself
by rendering to the world the best
service of which he is capable.

The Origin of
Opinions

We do not always know by what
process we have come to think
what We DO think.
People who have reached ma
turity have accumulated, subcon.
%sciously. many definite convic-
tons, the formation Of which
could not easily be traced.
Advertising, accompanied by
consistent service, plants firm con-
viction in the subconscious mind
OF the buying public and uncon-
sciously an impulse and favorable
inclination implanted.
This is what Is called good will,
the great by-product of sincere
advertising.
The Casper Tribune is particu-
larly Interested in these adver-
tisers who are regular and con-

CHINA TAKES
NEW POSITION
ON OUTRAGES
Onentals Agree to Some
Demands Made By
Foreigners

PEKING, Oct. 15.-
China's reply to the second
note of the diplomatic corps
regarding the Lincheng ban
dit outrage, delivered to the
Legations today, reverses the
former uncompromising attitude of
the Picking government toward some
of the demands. The latest note
meets in large measure the stipuia'
lions designed by the powers to pro
vide greater security for foreigners.
The Chinese government has is
sued a mandate Diminishing from of
fic Tuchun military governorl
Tien chung-Yu, under whose juris-
dlction the Lincheng bandits operat'
ed last May when they held up an
express train and kidnapped numer-
Gus foreigners. This disposes OF
one more point IN the negotiations,
China previously had declined to
admit the right OF the foreign ma.
lions to demand the punishment OF
officials deemed culpabie.
The new Chineae communication
agrees in principle to the supple
mentary indemnities asked by the
foreign powers, but does not commit
the government to the railway
guard scheme. including reorgani'
cation under foreign supervision
proposed by the diplomatic corps.
Peking expresses appreciation OF
the readiness of the diplomats to
~co'laborate in tho suppression of
banditry.
