Eight years afterward the : cused of murdering showed up, the mistake was discovered by the . state, and this “convict” was “pardoned. A These two incidents are mentioned simply to lend strength to ae these quite pertinent inquiries How many lawless men are made lawless by the administra tion of law itself? lan't it plain that “law” very often acts too hastily in handing out “justice” to poor and friendiess defendants! And having so quickly and thoroughly added the prison stain to the character of these convicted men, how is the state going to help them become men again, after their term of punishment has ended? A remarkably Interesting story a ing Post. A prison warden of progressive type and methods. He tells of how he tries to revive the fires of hope by is running in The Saturday Even tells hia experien treating the prisoners like human beings while t! y're jail. And} to help them back to th raight Road afterward, he bas founded a} “receiving home” for them, where they can stay until they have a} chance to get their “bearings in, and where every effort is made to secure work for them, In other words, this prison warden is trying to keep the law from making his wards more lawless. The Press “Give them a corrupt house of lords, give them give them a tyrannical prince, give them a truckling cou and I will DEFY a venal house of and let have but an UNFETTERED PRESS them to encroach a hair's breadth upon the liberties of England,” was the challenge Richard Brinsley Sheridan flung in the face of British misrule qual truth that all other forces shackled intelligent public se of @ drum hearing, Yea, and he might have sald with ‘Would fail to preserve liberty If the press were Laws are of small avail unless supported by sentiment ducation Is as émpty as the reverberatic ff it be not vitalixed with independent thinking, speaking @iscussion and investigation The press must enlighten, tutions Tt is the window through which the fresh air of fr the stifling atmosphere and cleanses it of error, dusty dogma selfishness, oppression.

In recent hist’ry’s pages there was never yet a line, that gave a Genius credit, he was always dubbed a Shine. In olden time a Gentus used to lead an army bold, and in the end, the Princess tn his manly arms enfold * But nowadays it’s diffrent; Gee, a Genius has no chancel You bet he's mighty luoky If he's patches for his pants! The Genius in the centuries that now are past and gone, deserved a lot of kind applause, and how they piled it on! Just think of all the statues that Bill Shakes himself, while now we have a million playwrights laid upon the shelf, Just think of all the fam that followed Dante to his grave, and all the pomp and glory that the world to Caesar gave, But nowadays it's difffrent—and it’s only cash you need, To pay the growling grocer for his fabricated feed. When knighthood was in flower and when Genius got its due, there was some sense in writing rhymes of rosemary and rue, A chap could stave off creditors in teasing times of stress, quite happy in the thought that Fame would get his right address. And when the laurel wreath was planted firmly on bis brow, he had a right to feel a little chesty, allow you'll But now-a-days the Genius suffers scoffing from the mob! And Genius pays a whole lot better on a steady job! CHANCE TO REST “Sometimes,” said Plodding Pete, “I'm tempted to map out a route that'll take me to them there Ar'tic regions.
