That the sedition was the work of

from the character of the litera-

AWAY WITH THE RECORD.
THE INCREASE Of CRIME*
Discussing the prevalence of
crime which he calls a contagious
disease. Dr. Isaac Funk, the
well-known psychologist, says:
“It is dangerous to give publicity
to orime*, Why not make virtue
a sensation? -It is so rare nowa-
dya-that it has twice the inteir-
estoT-vOrime to healthy-minded
people,”'v- <
There is no question that crime
is on the increase in this country,
posaib’y in the world, and we be-
lieve with the dootor that this in-
crease is due largely to the cus-
tom o» yellow journals of ex-
ploiting orime.
Examine one of these newspa-
pers, and you will readily dis-
c m that prominent positions are
given to murders and lesser
crimes and to .accidents. Not
infrequently the first page is a
verbal picture of horfbr.
It may be claimed that these
news publishers are merely pur-
veying to the popular demand,
but we deny it. Rather the de-
mand has been created by skill-
fully emphasizing the sorrows of
tho world. Subscribers thus ac-
quired a morbid curiosity which
bacarae ftronger every time it
was gratTied, and like the man
addicted to tho drug habit, the
v ctim -oon imagined it was nec-
essary t > his peace and happi-
ness.
As this disease grows on a per-
eon he loses his fine moral sense
and the ability to estimate the
" Tr'u eTeTartcnrr Trtrrtrttie tmttvtdu*
al should bear to society. The
single li'e becomes as important
in hia eves as the many lives.
The Galveston-Dallas News
says the man who would ridicule
the Congressional Record is an
ignoramus and should be bored
for the simples. We are not so
sure about that, but we will say
one thing in favor of the Record,
it makes fine fuel for keeping the
office warm on a cold day, when
the coal bin is empty and the
editor is short on funds.—Bon-
ham Favorite.
If the Congressional Record is
not the best publication in the
world—that is to say, the best
compendium of oratory, political
economy, patriotic expression
and humor—then the blame lies
at the doors of the best men in
the world. For Congressmen are
generally selected because the
people think they are the best
intellectually and the most learn-
ed. When one of them niakes a
speech, or even when he does not
make a speech on accasions, he
inserts such speech in this Re*
oord, after deliberating on it for
many days. In preparing his
contribution to the Record he has
the assistance of his private sec-
retary, his wife, his children, and
perhaps a hired writer. The em-
ployment of persons to write
speeches for our great men is
rarely practiced. Now, if oui
first suggestion is right that we
elect our most polished, wise and
accomplished men as our Con-
gressmen, then we must admit
that in the Record we get the
very best that is in them, and
hence the book must be good.
Still, it must be confessed that
we have a large number of peo-
ple who are so indifferent to liter-
ary lucubrations that they make
fires of this unique and most val-
uable Record.
and his sympathy goes out to the
murderer who is under sentence
of execution. He argues that
the crime cannot be undone nor
the victim be brought to life,
therefore why should sooiety
avenge itself by taking another
life? But that is not society’s
motive. Capital punishment is
inflioted for the reason that the
man who e tberately hills anoth-
er haa lost all reapeot for life and
would oommit more murders if
he ao willed. He has outlawed
himself. Sooiety is not aafe as
long ai he irnltve. Therefore ha
Next Tuesday is the timo set
to vote on the six proposed
amendments to the State Coil-
stitution. You should exercise
your privilege as a free Ameri-
can citizen and vote accordingly.
You should also get a copy of the
amendments and study them well
before casting your vote, for
bad and it is now up to the peo
pie as to what the results will be.
