All those who are interested in
prisons and prisoners should read
both OF Murphy's books, but colored
readers, in particular, will find "Shad-
W of the Gallows" Of much person
al interest for in the book, briefly
summed up, a great deal Of Ameri-
as lawlessness, according to the
books text, the natural result Of the
unlawful manner that the American
whites treated the backs during the
days OF slavery, until in time all laws
become Haunted and whites as well
as the blacks become the victims of
the mobs and unchecked lawlessness.
Aside from the interest that color
ed readers should take in this book
the author has very clearly depicted
criminal and penal conditions very
infinitely down through many centur-
les and ages, comparing circumstances
conditions and results with our pres
ent day difficulties Of curbing this
er-growing seeming industry Of
crime. Not only does he analyze
these conditions but he also presents
a very logical cure.

All Omahans and the country at large were shock
ed Saturday evening when the sudden death OF Rev. John
Albert Williams was flashed over the radio.
Even though he lived a simple, beautiful life, ne
was a nationally known figure In one retlectlon, Inc
mind pietures him as an ideal citizen of the community.
In the second reflection, his Christian life will ever live
in the memory of those who knew him..
Father, as he was known and honored by, all VINO
knew him was at no time too busy to help those who were
in trouble or were in need Of guidance and assistance:
Even though he has passed on, we shall ever cherish
his memory and we shall hold "a Life OF Service as an
example Of true leadership.

LIES SILENT TRYsT

(by Arthur Bardwell Patten)
Come. kindly Night,
When kindling day is done,
Watt care and fret
To sleeps oblivion.
May problems wait,
And reasons court adjourn,
Let thought retire,
Ambition cease to yearn.
Lead, peaceful Night
To healing land of Nod.
To pastures green,
Beyond the ways men plod.
May eager tides tGNG G'
Be lost in waters still,
And brooding calm
Beguile the hectic will.
Hail friendly Night, Alt
Life's truce of unconcern,
Bid passions rest,
Regrets refuse to burn.
Come, tryst Of God,
Restore the silent soul,
To greet the dawn,
With spirit cleansed and whole.
