Home is Where We
are Used TO Living.

Old Joe Screven, Negro convict in
the South Carolina penitentiary at Co
lumbia, was released from prison after
serving 20 years of life sentence for
murder. A month later he was back
at the penitentiary begging the war
den, A. NJ. Scarborough, to be taken
back to his cell.
On the outside, Old Joe found that
his crime had been long forgotten. In
Inmates he had known in his younger
days were dead or moved away. Their
descendants took little interest in an
old, half dead partially paralyzed
black man who had an impeachment in
his speech and acted queerly.
So one day Joe went back to Column
bia. He mingled with a crowd of con-
victs and entered prison. Hunting
Warden Scarborough, he fell on his
knees and said: Deere he is, my cap
tain; l want to go back to my Poop
le"
The kindly warden took old Joe in
and will provide him until the dies.
Horrible as a prison seems to free
persons it becomes a home to those
who have lived there for a long time
Going back into a strange world they
ulU Tie lie Iu6y once KNEW gone 1OI-
ever. Disillusioned, they yearn for
their cell again.
A Siberian convict who had been
set free in Russia, died of nostalgia
before he could be returned to the
fens of Asia where he had spent most
of his life. Freedom away from an
environment he was used to meant
nothing to him.
Home, no matter what kind of a
home it is, is the place we are used
to living in. The writer once asked
an old pIainsman how people could
ever become reconciled 10 living in
such a desolate place 'Well," he an
swered, "it's home!"

Sunday Shows.

1t is suggested that the interest on
the Grantland theatre and municipal
building could be paid by holding Sun
day evening entertainment of high
class, say selected moving pictures.
This will doubtless be opposed and al
so supported The Herald believes
there is no harm in wholesome recre-
alton and that an entertainment which
lifts people out of their boredom and
the grayness of their lives and sends
them away smiling and happy is
mighty fine thing. That's our view
what's yours?

The Mask

Texas has a new law fning any
one who wears a mask in public OBJ
viously aimed at Klansmen by the new
powers there. A good many klansmen
agree that the mask is a mistake and
say they are not ashamed of having
people know they belong to the order.
If a good thing why should they be?
And it makes possible good many
dirty deals by others who don the
hoods to make it appear they are
Klansmen.

Mass Meetings.

Instead of holding mass meeting to
consider the addition of more tax bur
dens the Herald favors mass to meet
ing to consider means to reduce tax
alton and, if possible, to bring about
a more business like method of hand
ling the peoples business. $125,OOO
or SO in tax money is too big burden
for a small town to carry About half
of this burden is thrown, not on the
public, but on few, say hundred or
so business men. 1t is too much of
penalty to pay for the privilege of do
ing business in the town.
Let's have several mass meetings
they are needed.

Talent.


Talent we all have in measure and
overflowing Talent for speaking, tai
ent for writing, talent for art, talent
for music, talent for beauty, talent for
fun, talent for work-talents of every
kind. In fact the world is full OF tai
ent absolutely gone to waste.
Nearly everyone has talent. Prop
erly coached and instructed our tai
ents would blossom and add immeas-
ureably to the richness of our own
lives and those with whom we are as
ISOLATED.
The trouble with most of us is that
we are up against the stern necessity
of making a living We have no time
in which to improve ourselves. Be
cause we must keep our noses to the
grindstone in order to live our talents
lie dormant and finally wither.
Some day a better age than our own
will see that the latent talent OF eacn
individual is brought out IN tull
flower. The individual needs what
necessity to live DEGREES he shall not
have And the world needs the best
from each human being and will llltl-
mately see that it gets it.

The Span of a Life.

Statisticians tell us that the span of
a human life during the Middle Ages
averaged but 20 years. In Revolution
ary times it had crept up to q years.
In the middle of the last century 1t
was 80 years.
The came the exposition of the germ
theory of disease, the discovery of an
tisepsis and birth control. These
things came together along about 1870.
Birth rates dropped but the span of a
human life jumped to 33 years.
A generation ago the average life
was 81 years. Today's best figures
nut it at 81 years. Think of it! A
gain of twenty years for the average
human life! All in generation!
Tomorrow, that is a score of years
from now, health authorities place the
span of human life at 20 years. Ed
son says that before half century
has passed the span will reach near
to 100.
And in the greater tomorrow to
come those with far vision place the
span of life from 125 to $50 years.
In that time fewer will be given the
privilege of being born. Those who
are born will be we'll born. They will
be born with good physiques and
mindS-in a wholesome Atmosphere
free from a thousand ills and disasters
that shorten and make human life a
hazard today.
With long human life will come
greater learning, greater powers OF
all kinds. Men who solve life's puz-
zles. only to die, as they do now, will
in that better age, remain to give
greater mental achievement and to
leave a greater heritage of knowledge
to those about them. 1t will be bet
Ter world because age is kinder and
more tolerant than youth. And adult
life will predominant, guiding and di-
recting childhood.

from the fact that in 1918 only STA

Two Impulses.

Two impulses
District Atty. Weingert of M1lWau-
kee county is a sage. He says Man
is a savage with a thin veneer OF CIV
ilization. Only judgment, live and lear
control his his criminal tendencies.
But man is rational and must be held
accountable for his acts. If crimlnally
inclined he must be restrained. If he
breaks this restraint his punishment
must be quick and sure"
Yes, man is a savage with criminal
and predatory instincts the morality
of a barnyard fowl and the cruelty OF
a iackal. But he is also a god. And
in that he differs with the animal
world. Working his way painfully
through the cons separating the prot
oplasm from the Goldman to be he
comes to the conclusion that he has
two impulses to follow. One is his
lustful. predatory instinct pulling him
back to his origin and the other is his
noble side urging him onward toward
God. If he fails to respond to his right
impulse he must be curtailed from re-
spending to his first.
This struggle goes on in the heart
of all who will be fair with them
selves and their thoughts. Our view is
that if a man does not respond to the
good angel in his heart he must be
governed through his fear.

agement.
During the evening, Mr.. Broustein,
Jr., said for the benefit Of the business
men present: "All you know of the
company is the statesmen that call on
you; you do not know of the men who
are back Of the company here in the
plant" So the various foremen of the
plant were introduced to those pres
ent who arose but said nothing.
Workers Left Out.
The actual workers who have been
at the machines and have been doing
the other work of the plant were en-
tirely forgotten. No mention was
made of them during the entire eve
ming. The impression left was that
the Brousteins and the foremen were
the only necessary forces to make the
plant a success.
The plant has not been running full
capacity for some time. And the COM
pany wanted to make a big show Of
Low the business was booming. 1t
would not do to have idle machines in
sight. So in order that the proper
impression might be left on the entire
gathering who were taken thru the
plant 1t was necessary to employ a
number of dummies in addition to the
regular working force. 1t was stated
that 80 of these dummies would be re-
Quired to fill the vacancies at the idle
machines. We do not know how many
dummies were obtained but we do
know Of number of persons who
worked there for few hours in the
evening to make the grand showing
and who obtained $1.00 for their serv-
ices.
After p. m. the employees were
called in to Join the concert. Some Of
them went in, others were so disgust
ed they went home. These workers
were told that cold beer would be
served and really felt that cold drink
would not be amiss after sweating at
the machines during the hot evening.
But they stood around for long time
watching the upper class partake De-
fore there was any chance for them,
and then some of them failed to get a
handout.
In fact those who did manage to get
a bottle had waited so long that the
beer was warm before it got to them.
