him aorely, but he arose each
time like a rugged wrestler and
began a new endeavor. In 1889,
at one of his darkest periods, he
began sheep growing and wool
marketing venture in which he
engaged for many years, going
into partnership with Simon Per-
kins, wealthy merchant OF
Akron, Ohio. This partnership
was the longest and final one OF
Browns business career.
So that is how one must think
Of Brown, too; not only as the
consecrated, almost inhuman bat
tier and martyr, but also as the
sane, plodding, patient farmer,
tanner, surveyor, real estate
Spectator, and practical shep-
herd. He was q tall, spare, silent
man, terribly pious, terribly hon
est, a good neighbor and com.
munity leader, and the father Of
a large family of sons and daugh-
ters-a patriach out of the Bible,
tending his. fiocks and gathering
about him a tribe Of young and
stalwart sons.
He was a typical pioneer Amer
lean Of those rough days in the
settling Of the middle west. He
had no time for frivolity, tho
there was a grim humor in the
man; he brought his children up
strictly, yet was a justice that
made them all love, revere and
respect him until the end; and he
had his share of those private
sorrows that crush SO many men;
his first beloved wife had died,
with an infant son; he had failed
in business; and he had lost by
death no less than nine children,
three of whom persisted in one
month in those hard surround
ings, and one of whom, a little
daughter, was accidently scalded
to death by an elder sister. These
deaths hurt John Brown ciA1elly,
for tho stern and stole, he was
fercely tender father; all his
affections were fierce, tho mex
pressible and deep, as a lions.
81 seem to be struck almost
dumb by the dreadful news" he
wrote his family, when he heard
of this accident. "One more dear
little feeble child l am to meet
no more till the dead, small and
great, shall stand before God. /
trust that none of you will feel
| disposed TO cast an unreasonable
blame on my dear Ruth on ac-
count of the dreadful trial we are
called to suffer. This is bitter
cup indeed; but blessed be God;
a brighter day shall dawn; and
let us not sorrow as they who
have no hope"
The Browns made at least ter
moves in the years from 1880 tc
1845, and John Brown had en-
gagged in no less than seven diff.
ferent occupations. But always
under the business man anC
! farmer, there had been the sol
emn philosopher brooding on Go.
and the mystery and terror o
life; and always, under the sobe
father and citizen there had becl
planning and brooding and suffer
ing keenly the tender humanitar
ian, the Christ-like martyr, tn
relentless fighter who would finall
pay with his life to strike a blov
at slavery, shat sum Of a
villianies."
In this patriarchal farmer o
the middle west, Freedom wa
forging and sharpening terribl
weapon that was some day to b
turned against Tyranny. Quietly
in peaceful surroundings the wor
was being done; no one knew til
fire in this man, least of a
himself.

The Moulding of John Brown.
A ND SO by his own pen, we have
Ahad illuminated for US the life
of John Brown up to his twent-
tieth year. We see him, a Big
strong boy, fond of hard work,
capable in all he put his hand to,
Young man bred in the hard
college Of life in an early pioneer
settlement. He was fond OF
reading good books and improving
his mind; he was rather shy, and
vet filed with an extraordinary
self-confdence, which made him a
born leader, one who could show
the wav to men older than him
self. and command them, and
himself in the straight line OF
duty.
The subsequent life Of John
Brown cannot be understood UNI
less one knows all the environ
mental forces and the heredity
that went to mold him. John
Brown, a Puritan in the austerity
Of his manner Of living, the mar
row yet burning reality Of his
vision, and the hardships he later
underwent, came OF family Of
American pioneers. To John
Brown life from the outset meant
incessant strife, first against I'M
conquered nature, then in the
struggle for living, and finally
in that effort to be a Samson to
the pro-slavery Philistines in
which his existence eliminated.
At twenty John Brown married
Dianthe Lusk, a plain but quiet
and amiable girl, as deeply relig-
ious os her young husband, and
as ready as he to. assume all the
Serious burdens of life.
He was working in his fathers
tanning establishment at this
time, at Hudson, Ohio. But in
May, 1928, JOHN Brown moved
his family to Richmond, near
Meadville, Pennsylvania, the first
of his many moves for he was I'M
bued with a deep restlessness, the
hunger of the pioneer for virgin
lands and new enterprises.
Here, with his characteristic
energy, he cleared twenty-five
acres Of timber land, built fin'
tannery, sunk watts, and nm few
months had leather tanning in al
of them. Like his father, Over
Brown, John was of marked
ethical and social nature. HI
proved of great value 70 the new
settlement at Richmond by hi
devotion to the cause Of religion
and civil order. He surveyed new
roads, was instrumental in build
ing school houses, procuring
preachers, "and encouraging any
thing that would have a mora
tendency" It became almost |
proverb in Richmond, so an earl,
neighbor records, to say Of a pro
gressive man that he was "a
enterprising and honest as job
Brown, and as useful to tn
county"
In Richmond the family dwell
for ten years. John Brown rails
ed, corn, did his tanning, brough
the first blcoded stock into tn
county, and became the first post
master. Here, also, at Richmond
the first great grief came int
John Browns life, to school hir
in that stoicism that later mad
him the hero of a great caus'

"The Story Of John Brown

worked beside him like a good,
faithful woman for twelve years,
giving birth to seven children in
that time, five of whom grew to
vigorous manhood and woman
hood.
n EARLY year later John
IN Brown married for a second
time to Mary Anne Day, daugh-
ter of blacksmith. She was then
a large, silent girl Of sixteen, who
had come to John Browns home
with an older sister to care for
his children after his wife's death.
He quickly grew fond of the
young pioneer girl; one day he
gave her a letter offering mar
rage. She was so overcome that
she dared not read it. Next morn
ing she found courage to do so,
and when she went down to the
spring for water for the house,
he followed her and she gave him
her answer there.
Mary Brown was the best wife
a John Brown could have found.
She had great physical rugged
ness, and she bore for her hus-
band thirteen children, seven of
whom died in childhood, and two
Of whom were killed in early man
hood at Harper's Ferry. She did
her full share of the arduous labor
of a large pioneer household, and
she endured hardships like Spar
tan mother. She was strong; and
she had noble and unflinching
character. 1t was only a heroic
woman such as this who could
have been the wife of hero; VINO
could have given husband and sons
cheerfully to the cause Of aboli-
ton, and been so silent and brave
even after their death.
John Brown worked hard; he
had no vices, he was honest and
painstaking, but somehow success
in business always eluded him.
This was another of the griefs
of his life. He blamed himself
for his failures, but it was really
not his fault. 1t requires real
worship of money to make
one business success, and
John Brown never took money as
seriously as it demands of its low
ers. After ten years in Pennsyl-
vania, Of much hard work with
little results, he moved to Frank
lin Mills, in Ohio, where he en-
tered the tanning business with
Zenas Kent, a well-to-do business
man of that town. Here he also
became involved in a land devel-
opment scheme that was ruined
by a large corporations maneu-
vers. He was so deeply involved
in this and other ventures that in
the bad times of 1887 he failed.
In 1912 he was again compelled
to go thru bankruptcy proceed
ings.
In after years John Brown ex-
planned these failures to the old
est son as the result of the false
doctrine of doing business or
credit.
"Instead Of being thoroly i'm
bued with the doctrine Of pay as
you co." he wrote, 81 started out
in life with the idea that nothing
could be done without capital
and that poor man must use hi
credit and borrow; and this per
nicious doctrine has been the rocl
on which !, as well as many 9th
ers, have split. The practica
effect of this false doctrine ha
been to keep me like toad run
ming under harrow most of M
business life. Running into de
includes so, much evil that / hop
all my children will s.un It a
they would a pestilence."
John Brown never gave up j
despair anything he had attempt
ed; his business failures bruised

THE COUNTY BUDGET

TN this issue of The Mail, pages six
and seven, is printed, together
with the official minutes of the Board
of Supervisors for the meeting of
July and 8, the budget of county
expenses as estimated for the next
fiscal year, ending June 80, 1925. The
figures of last years budget, and the
actual expenditures of each depart
ment for the past twelve months are
also printed.
These figures are published by the
county in accordance with law, but
it is hoped that readers of The Mail
will compare the figures of last year
with this year that they may learn
what economies or wastes, if any Of
either, are being made by the county
officials. They are published for the
purpose of being studied and should
not be ignored.

DELBRIDGE SAYS ARIZONA
PAROLE SYSTEM is SUCCESS

The convict parole system has been
"beneficial' to Arizona, and efforts
of the state parole board have been
highly successful in returning pri-
soners to useful occupations, de-
clares the annual report Of the state
board of pardons and paroles sub
mitted by William Delbridge, clerk of
the board, to Governor Hunt.
"The action of the board has given
many of the former convicts a new
start in life, which has proved to be
the turning point in their careers
and induced them to become good
citizens" says the report, which de-
clares that the total number of pa
roles for the year was 185 at the
state penitentiary. Employers in
Arizona have also cooperated with the
board and furnished employment to
many paroled men," the report CONT
nues "This spirit of cooperation is
helpful and goes far to make the
parole system effective"
The report of the clerk recommends
restoration of civil rights to pa
rolled prisoner, automatically when
the parole is granted, declaring that
under such a system ''better results
would be obtained.'
when a prisoner has fulfilled the
conditions of his parole in an honor
able manner and received his dis
charge, he feels that he is entitled
to have his civil rights restored by
a pardon says Mr.. Delbridge.
''It seems to have been the policy
ever since the board has been func-
tioning to defer action or refuse to
act on these applications and the de-
lay often causes the paroled man to
feel that an injustice is being done
him by Withholding the certificate. I
believe, if a paroled prisoners civil
rights were restored automatically
with a parole, better results would be
obtained
"The reports coming to me from
men on parole, and many of them
have been reporting for years, would
convince the most skeptical that the
parole system as it is being handled
in Arizona has been constructive and
beneficial to the state. The bread
winner has been restored to hundreds
of destitute wives and children, never
to leave them again.
much has been said against the
parole system on account of paroled
men violating their paroles and be-
ing returned to prison but our records
show that the percentage of paroled
men who return is very SMALL" the
report continues.
"There are no accurate records
tracing every mans career, but the
most reliable statistics prove that the
vast majority of pjaro1ed men never
serve another term in prison.
For the three years past, 461 of
the 522 men paroled were first Of
tenders, and 81 were second or third
termers, according to the report.
Twenty-Five paroles of the first term
ers were revoked out of the 461, and
three of the 81 were repeaters.
"The report recommended estab-
| lishment or school to be maintained
in prison, using prisoners to teach
the elementary grades to men who
have no education"

LABOR'S ADVANCE

A NEW ERA in labor organization
4 \ methods is we'll under way lead
by the strongest of them all, the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
The Brotherhood is carrying the bat
tie to the enemy and in the future
will fight upon the enemy soil. The
right to a living wage, favorable
working conditions and a right to
enjoy the great privileges accorded
to a free people by our constitution
is never denied by the most avaricious
employer, but the dragons set up at
the entrance to our temples of Mann
mon say that they cannot be had un-
til the money they guard is paid for
its participation in our economic de-
velopment The Brotherhood pro-
poses to guard the resources of its
members and collect them into one
formidable mass to be used as a
power in the just distribution of the
benefits which accrue to the applica-
ClOn Oh LdDOF anu CdpIIdI W pIOouC-
ton. It is rumored, and the rumor
is well founded, that before the leaves
fall the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers will have a representative
sitting at the directors table of the
largest financial institution in the
nation. Who can say that the inter
est of the man who tolls will not be
better served at the conferences
around this table than in any other
manner.
The B. of L. E. has a man at the
head of their vast enterprise who is
worthy of the trust which has been
placed in him. Warren S. Stone is
well and truly one of the big upstand-
ing men of the nation and an untiring
champion of the rights of man. He
is now head of the greatest institu-
ton for the advancement of the cause
of Labor in the world.
