A MUCH NEEDED REFORM-
One of the most nxsmeotww prob
' ferns which is now to be considered by
' society is the problem -ef tfce proper
' mode in dealing with ertmiuak. The
question of preventing crime by so im
proving tfee condition of society as to
destroy the seeds from which it springs
is lifted into importance by the scien
tific treatment which naturally belongs
to it. There an eertaialy he no thor
ough solution to the problem of crimi
nality whieh omits tbi aspect of the
case, Statistic show Hut a very large
percentage of the eriiiuuat class were
badly bora, and badly bred; that the
conditions of their earthly existence
were sueh as to lead almost enevitably
to courses of vice and erime And
this being the ease, the greatest hope
for the ultimate improvement of man
kind lies perhaps in the direction of
those methods which seek to reform
these conditions in which the germs of
crime are nurtured methods that rath
er aim at the prevention of crime than
h&.cure. This is a side of the subject
that particularly demands the attention
of social science and philanthropy, and
one, too, that legislation must not dis
regard. Vet whenever good results
may hereafter come from such prevent
ive methods of dealing witn crime, so
ciety has still to confront the problem:
What shall be done with the crime
that is already perpetrated, and with
the criminal class that already exist?
Self-protection prompts the members
of society to defend themselves against
the violence of vicious men. Society
must protect its peaceful and law-abiding
members against, the outrage and
rapacity of those who respect no. law,
whether of mait or of conscience; it
must do this, because society is a con
dition of humane existence in which
humane beings live together under a
common recognition of a universal so
cial bond. Jiut the obligation of soci
ety does not end on this question with
the duty of self-protection. It has an
obligation also towards the criminal.
Society is in some measure responsi
ble for what the criminal is, not wholly,
but in part; it is responsible to a con
siderable extent, for the conditions
which have tended to make him a crim
inal. Hence, society is justly bound
not only to do the best to protect itself
against him by placing him where he
cannot do further harm to others, but
do the best it, can for him. by placing
him uuder such conditions that if pos
sible he may be reformed. The prob
lem is to find some method of treating
crime that shall successfully combinr
protection of society and reformation
of the criminal, some plan of prison
discipline that shall restrain the actual
criminal, deter the probable criminal
end reform the prisoner.

Encourage The Editor.
Under this head an exchange says,
that as a rule, an editor gets about
1,000 kicks to one caress. Once in a
while he gets a kind word, and it
warms and cheers his weather beaten
storm racked heart to the innermost
core. Most people are afraid to tell
the editor when he writes an article
that particularly pleases them, for
fear of making him proud, we suppose,
but if they find anything that does
not accord precisely with their views,
they will neglect their business to
hunt him up to tell him of it. Pshaw I
dear friends, don't think you will
spoil the editor by giving him an occa
sional word of cheer, any more than
you will your child by complimenting
it upon a piece of patchwork it has
finished. Of course you could beat
the jcb yourself, but that doesn't de
ter you from, heaping words of en
couragenient on the child. It. has
done its. best. So you could doubt
less beat the average editor at run- (
ning a paper. Of course, you can.
the man. docs not live that, can't
beat an. editor at running a paper.
The editor is willing to acknowledge
that you can. He only runs it be
cause you have not time to; but this
fact need net deter you from giving
him a word of encouragement ccca-siotully.
A Very Foolish Idea.
It is a false prde of the yery worst
kind that leads mamy of our young .mar
ried peoplo ou to financial rtsio. Most
of them are poor; but, for onsr un
accountable reason, they are ashamed
to abitit it by ay word or deed, and
feel under obligation to keep up an
appear anecf being at Jjast well-to-do.
As a general thing, both parties spend
all their savings oh their wedding, de
termined to be heard of once in the !
A'orld, if they sever are again. There '
is always something about a wedding
which appeals to the interest of all be
holder', benee, the teittjAation to j
secure, by display, a centaia gratifying ;
notoriety which may never again be I
Attainable. Thus their married life j
is begun iu a mistake, and they con- ;
tinue the counterfeit as long as they .
aa. Thev b cui boarding iu as stylish j
a place as their slender weekly income
will allow,, the wife taking up a life of
idleness and gossip; or, if they go to
keeping house, they buy flimsy and
sfeowy things fur the parlor while their
kitehen lacks ordinary conveniences.
Thus the farce continues in the way of
dress and entertainment until the col
lapse comes, wha the wife goes home
to mother's, there to be a burden,
while the discouraged husband starts
out to seek a new place where he can
begin over again. Probably there are
children by this time, which, adds to
the "unpleasantness." We have known
personally just such cases. And who
has not! The world whose favor they
have been trying to win simply laughs
at them.
Now, how much. better it would have
been , if such a. pair had begun in a
sensible way according to their means,
buying a. few good things, adding more
as they could afford them, until their
home was established on a firm and
enduring basis. I o matter what the
world itself does, it always approves
of honesty in others ; and those who
begin modestly, live within their means,
plant & home, and let it grow, are al
ways the ones who are sincerely re
spected. 1 o
To Young Men.
Where and. how do you spend your
evenings? This is a very important
question for you to consider. Do
you spend them at home, or in good
society, or do you spend? them in
places and iu a manner that you
would be ashamed for your family
and friends to know?
The manner in which your evenings
are spent, will have a wonderful effect
upon your character, '. and upon your
future life. The habits which you
now form will result in good or
evil. As you value your character
be careful -about where yon Send
your eveeings.

on me, I hope by strict attention to buisness
to merit a continuance of the same. The
professor and his assistant tonsorial gradu

neck and call it hair cutting; but we cut
with scissors, a fine golden edge, with circle
front and the gradual taper, with English
square loci or the Dude Puff. It will pay
you to come in and try our uniform mode of
prosecution, such, as is not practiced in any
other shop iu Goldsboio. In no instance is
