If 'dlcncss is the mother of crime
poverty is its father . The progeny ol
this parentage. under txtsting condi-
tions are becoming more numerous
than the interest of society demands
and than organ z -d society can con
veniently control. Many crimes it is
true cannot be.asignsd to Sany cause
except innate depravity of the race
as manifested in i's Worst sotctmens.
but it is also true that thousands ol
persons are driven to the commission
of crime from pc vertj alone a pover-
ty resulting from enforced idleness
There is many a man in prison now
who but for poverty wou'd be free
walk erect and pass through life hon-
oreo by the very men who wouldjiave
been his fellow sufferers if exposed to
similar temptatioi s and victims of
similar conditions. The good book
tells us that "all things work together
far good to those who" do exactly the
right thing. It ts iqually true that all
things work together for evil when
evil deeds prevail. . This country is
now laboring under conditions that
foster poveity and crime; and
poverty and crime entail an expense
upon the people directly or indirectly
which aggravates the conditions that
produce the idleness poverty and
crime Neither the laws of the coun-
try nor of Judge Lynch no matter
how vigorously enforced will cause
crime to cease or measureably abate
if until the causes' that produce crime
are removed. Lke produces like.
.Crime in high places (of which the law
takes no cogmz mo) produces crime
in ihe place below (which are or ate
intended to be amenable to law). It
a man by reason of his superior crimi-
nal ability and better opportunities
robs a thousand men (as is often the
case) he makes many robbers for the
one that was. If the government aids
the splendid mallfactor by ttmptng
him with opportunities favoring his de
signs then has the government gone
into the business ot manufacturing
criminals by wholesale and selecting
a few of the most defenseless ai ob-
jects of us-mcck righteous wrath.
The genealogy of the ordinary jail bird
might be urilen thus: The people
btgat the goveri ment; the g )vernmenl
begat the bg robber (alias eminent
financirer) and the tig robber begat
the hard times and pever y and pover-
ty and hard times begat the man who
stole the loaf or robbed the hen roost
flic evil can only be stopped by slop-
ing the wholv breer"; by honest govern-
ment and just laws that will reach both
high and low rich and poor: There
wbu'd be wotk (or more men and fewer
convicts.

A jury in the Martha Washington
case (a famous ttial of 40 years ago
wherein the captain of the steamboat
Mirtha Washington and otheis". were
charged with burning the boat to se
cure'insurance) was chosen witti diffi-
culty. Djring its fivs weeks! service
the members of it were assailed on
every side by the zealous feminine
sympathizers of the accused. By every
art possible to youth beauty and wit
and the reckless abandon of lives
largely spent in the companionship of
adventurers wete they approached.
' I( you do not go into that jury room
and vote 'not guilty' in an hour you
will be a dead man" said the wife of
Capt. Cumraings confronting an aged
juror on the staircase. Mrs. Cutn-
tnings sprung from an old and respect-
ed Massachusetts family and she
was a singularly beautiful and dashing
woman. As Olive Chapin she had
gone in early girlhood to the West and
become enamored of the picturesque
river captain. Cummings did not see
fit to marry her and wct off to Mexico
and opened his gambling house on the
Rio Grande. O le dy as he sat deal-
ing faro there his affianced presented
herself Disguised in man's atiir and
armed with a brace of pistols she had
made her way without detection to the
Rio Grande. She was a skilled shot
and could hit a dollar across a room.
Leveling a distol at the recreant lover's
head she said in a short sharp voice
' Captain Cummings marry me or take
this in your head." The astounded
captain replied "Why O.lie my dear.
is that you?" The marriage ceremony
was performed that day. Lida Rose
