CONKLIN .....Publisher HERALD EDITORIALS NOT WORTHY OF CLEMENCY A woman who spends time and money in the effort to befriend prisoners, and to save the worthy among them, is now seeking to send an ungrateful beneficiary to prison. It is there that he belongs. The offender in question committed forgery at the age of eighteen. Because of his youth, the philanthropist thought he might be redeemed and set on the right path. She besought probation for him and was successful. Then she furnished him a temporary home, advanced money to him, procured employment for him. The next she heard of him was that he had been arrested for a fresh forgery. She sent for him. The only excuse he had for his weakness was that he was a "dope fiend," which is worse than no excuse. The woman told him that she would be as earnest in sending him to prison as she had been in keeping him out. The incident is cited because it deals with an offender who is typical of a large class. No one would deny probation to the youthful offender deserving of it. The trouble is that courts often make such a mistake as the philanthropist did when the gentle and generous soul pleaded on behalf of an unregenerate rogue. When probation has been won, and the penalty earned is withheld, the prisoner goes forth under the bond of honor. If he breaks this bond, he is without honor, and thus not to be trusted. This being true, it is singular that some young crooks have been placed on probation so many times that their periods of probation overlap. To bestow clemency on the unworthy is a mistake. It threatens law and order and public safety, and it gives the unscrupulous a license to continue his pernicious ways. IDEAL UNIONS is withheld, the prisoner goes forth under the bond of honor.

It threatens law and order and public safety, and it gives the unscrupulous a license to continue his pernicious ways. IDEAL UNIONS Occasionally some man and woman who believe themselves advanced, inveigh against the institution of marriage. In lieu of it they set up an association supposed to accord freedom to both. Not long ago a pair of college students of this state elected such a course. The girl talked very earnestly about her prejudice against becoming an "economist slave." Through her head, wherein it must have had immunity from being jostled by many other ideas, floated the notion that she could escape this slavery by declining to say "I do." Relatives of the couple, somewhat less advanced, objected, and managed to drag them to the altar. Now they have come into notice again through the suit of the economic slave, who tells the court in a plaintive brief that the man resolutely and habitually declines to support her. So it would appear that he also had become an economic slave. All this cannot be construed into an argument against marriage. Far from it. It merely is an argument against the marriage of the unfit. And the youths of blossoming intelligence who think themselves wise enough to upset the usages established by experience far broader than their own, are unfit. There are ideal unions, resulting in mutual happiness, and lasting long. These are not the clandestine unions contrived in secrecy, and shocking to the average sense of propriety. They are not sly compacts, hidden understandings, or the outcome of juvenile folly. THE OPTIMIST AND THE OTHER It could be wished that H. G. Wells might curb his pessimism a little. He came over to see and hear the disarmament conference. All he seems to have seen yet is impending doom. He has heard [in advance] the crash of civilization. With all respect and admiration for the great English thinker, this sort of thing gets tiresome. Calamities apparently imminent have been known to retreat in the face of a bold advance, and to disappear. To show the melancholy mood that has taken possession of Wells, may be cited the following excerpt from his latest writing: "This war talk between Japan and America may end as abruptly as the snarling of two dogs overtaken by a flood." He seems to have seen yet is impending doom. He has heard [in advance] the crash of civilization. With all respect and admiration for the great English thinker, this sort of thing gets tiresome. Calamities apparently imminent have been known to retreat in the face of a bold advance, and to disappear. To show the melancholy mood that has taken possession of Wells, may be cited the following excerpt from his latest writing: “This war talk between Japan and America may end as abruptly as the snarling of two dogs overtaken by a flood. There may not be another great war after all, because both in Japan and America social disruption may come first.” One hesitates to apply the term “piffle” to the product of a genius whom it often has been a delightful duty to praise. Therefore let it be said merely that Wells is getting morbid. He is having, not his cleareyed vision of old, but seeing phantoms.

However, the middleman must by now be in a condition to retire and live in luxury. After a time it is possible the lawyers for defense may permit the Kennedy trial. Thus far the efforts of the court have been balked. George Bernard Shaw has done the world a good turn by refusing to attend the disarmament conference. Of two scheduled murder trials it is said each will consume four weeks. Perhaps the defendant's money will be used up by that time. A woman shot by her husband pretended to be crazy and to have shot herself, going to the asylum where she didn't belong. In order to keep him from the jail where he did belong. This would argue genuine insanity. Maxim Gorky has emerged from Russia, probably with a view to getting something to eat. Between Ourselfs By Della M. Stewart Joiners are good—standby-ers are better. It's easy to ally oneself to a cause when enthusiasm waxes high and the urge of strength is felt. But the test of the man and the woman comes later, when enthusiasm has waned and strength fails, and only principle and stubborn persistency hold to the line of effort. Unfinished action, confusion, lack of real accomplishment! Perfectly good aims, if they only had continued support. Effort for a time. Little Stories for Bedtime By THORNTON W. BURGESS (Copyright by J. G. Lloyd) REDDY FOX PLAYS SPY. REDDY FOX didn’t have to get up early to be hiding behind the fence back of Farmer Brown’s corn-crib, when jolly, round, red Mr. Sun chased the little stars from the sky. He didn’t have to get up early for the very good reason that he hadn’t been to bed. You see Reddy Fox does a great many things that he wouldn’t like to have seen, and so he does them in the night when most of the other little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest are asleep. And so it happens that often he does not go to bed at all at night, but sleeps in the day when most honest people are abroad. He had been roaming about all this night and now he had come to watch and see what was going on at Farmer Brown’s corn-crib, and whether or not Farmer Brown’s boy had been setting a trap there for Sammy Jay as Sammy was so sure he had. Just as the little stars disappeared and the first faint light from Mr. Sun began to chase away the black shadows Reddy’s sharp eyes saw something move over at the corner of the old stone wall on the edge of the Old Orchard. Then a little dark form scampered across the road and there was these scratch of sharp little claws on the tree growing near the corn-crib. Reddy grinned and watched the top of the tree. In a minute the same little form ran out along a limb that overhung the corn-crib and nimbly jumped to the roof. It ran along one edge and then disappeared, Reddy guessed right away that there was a hole there. He arose and stretched. “I thought as much,” said Reddy to himself. “I thought as much.” By Della M. Stewart Joiners are good—standby-ers are better. It's easy to ally oneself to a cause when enthusiasm waxes high and the urge of strength is felt. But the test of the man and the woman comes later, when enthusiasm has waned and strength fails, and only principle and stubborn persistence hold to the line of effort. Unfinished action, confusion, lack of real accomplishment! Perfectly good aims, if they only had had continued support. Effort for a time, then a gradual falling away of the forces, though the need was just as great as ever. How many organizations have failed right there? Unfinished thought, illogical action. To reason carefully the end from the beginning, probable results from causes, what a common failure lies here. Because we do not do this comes misunderstanding, bitterness, chaos. We blame everything under the sun—but ourselves. Yet we might have known, if we had only thought. Even nature is wiser here. Careful provision made for every weed of every creature. Protection, growth, strength, accomplishment. One detail fits perfectly into another, one result is but the seed of a future accomplishment. On and on go its cycles; with no hurry, no delay, each, even to the tiniest of creatures, carrying out its part of the finish. There is so much that needs doing in the world today. It's the standby-ers that are going to do it. Friendly Fancies By J. W. Poley EVERY DAY A little work for doing Every day. Some glad dreams for pursuing, Every day. A little time for laughter And for tasks that follow after, And to serve the Master Crafter Every day. A heart with sunlight gleaming Every day. A little time for dreaming Every day.

A song of hope for singing Every day. And we'll heap life's golden measure To the very brim of pleasure, If we lay by just one treasure Every day. There's sometimes a bit of sadness Every day.

So we'll clasp hands a bit longer Every day, With the souls of us grown stronger Every day, With our friendships a bit dearer And the eyes of us grown clearer We shall see our joys come nearer Every day.

He is reported to have recently spent $1,800 in telegraph fees, stopping subscriptions to his ventures. Perhaps the proper length for a skirt would be just beneath notice.
