The power of a book is a pow er that cannot be estimated becanse we cannot estimate the different forces it will touch in different trenerations, ages and centuries. The invention of nrintin marked the climax of power in the prog ress of immoitaliziHg thought. It has been said that books are 'embalmed minds. It is a mistake.

Emerson has most forcefully said, "In every man memory, with the hours when life culminated are usually asso ciated certain books which met his views." Beniamin Franklin declares that his character was formed and his life shapeji by the reading of a little book; of Cotton Mather's entitled "Do ing Good." The murderer of Lord Rus sell confessed before bis execution that he was started on his career of crime by the readme of a trash v book. If everv wrecked character could be uncovered and its secrets shown to the world, the beginnings of -wron-rdoins: would be found in thousands of cases to have their source in these silent fashioners of men's characters through their thoughts. "All the known world," says Voltaire, "ex cepting only, savages, are governed by books." Their evil power seems even more sub tle ana resistless - than their power for rood.

In the department of murder the instruction given by the oime novel writers is all that could be desired. There is not a possible of murder that is not fully described and illustrated by brilliant examples in these educational works. Our boys are taught where and how to deal effective stabs, in which part of the body to plant pistol bullets to the best advanta to understand poisons skillfully without too great aanger or detection. Not only are they tauarht how to kill. but. what, ia of far more consequence, they are deftly led to look on murder not aa rennlsivn ana dangerous, but as an elegant and oesiraoie recreation.

WORSE THAN SODOM AXD GOMORRAH. The amount of obscene matter circu lated today ia picture U something in calculable to those who have not inves tigated it The picture has come to be a jiart of literature aa much as the let ters iti-elf. Oar daily newspapers are now all illustrated. Our weekly news n nihi! illustrations. The pow er of a picture to bless or to curse is a the power oi ine living. itaelf. We ltKk at the f reecoet of buried Pompeii with disgust and horror and strive in our imagination to picture the depth of their degradation. We look with amazement upon the scenes at Cor inth in which the worship of Aphrodite ... e mlti.tAil Rnt P-nrinth in her deg radation and Pompeii in her vulgarity .... i i - jy .1 of art. ii tney sr.ouia nw iroui ine dead, would certainly find new lessons in their art from their modern ancestors. Thi vuntora of ohu-ri matter in our cities have gone to lower depths than the ancient debauchee of thesr old world centers. And not only so, but men who pretend to respectability in the business world use these means of public de riQTiriorv n A.dverti.s their tF!irL Everv saloon is filled with lascivious pictures.

When I returned to Cleveland on the day referred to after the conversation with the newsboy on the train, he brought to my hotel his sample album of pictures. If a man had told me there were persons in America mean enough to take such pictures, devil enough to sell them as a business, 1 would utterly have refused to credit the statement for a moment. This album . represented a stock of negatives representing hun dreds of subjects both of men and wom en in every conceivable condition and position. Their bestiality is something indescribable, is something inconceivable to those who have not" seen them. It simply passes the power of the average human mind to believe such thincrs to be possible till after they have been seen. j.nese pictures not oniy are made to represent everv possible sin of Inst and lustful passion, but every unnamable sin and debauchery of the human body. Not only those for which Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, but acts of degradation at which Sodom and Go- morrah would stand aghast if they could rise from the dead and see them today. These pictures are issned bv tha hnn. dreds and the thousands in almost'every great city and by great city I mean a city of 100.000 inhabitants in America. The photographer who took them from lire, wno prints and sells them. Is doing business on one of the principal street totay in Cleveland, and the newsboys running out from Cleveland have aetd and are acting, unless arrested, as hit personal agents. This is but a sample of what is carried on on a larger seal from Chicago as a center, and from all our great cities, with more or less se crecy, but with large success. Third We note the fact in th ing power and influence of the criminal aauy newspaper. This successful sheet, hichia practically a report of dailv crime, is the mother of the whole brood or modern vicious letters. The editor of the modern newspaper is the rma man who in our daily life sweeps its whole gamut. He alone is in a position to speak with authority and with fre-a lyle declares: "The true Church of Ene- land at this moment lies in the editors of its newspapers. These nnyn h. people daily, weekly, admonishing kings themselves, advising peace or war with an authority that only the first reform ers and the long past class of popes were possessed of. iriflietinc' moral ran an a , VA.

What are the inevitable results from this flooding of the world through the dailv and the weekly press and through virioua books and pictures? The result is what any sane man must expect a generation of toughs and criminals, even from childhood, and the consequent low ering of he average life of the nation. Let us take up tho tabulated retnrnf from our newspaper through the past two years. Let us quote but a few ex amples to show what is constantly goina on irom ims cause. , A dispatch from Delleville, N. J., about a month ago told of the destruction bj fire of a large barn in which the ownei suffered a Ices of $3,000. It was discor ered that tho fire was of incendiary or igln, and the guilt' waa clearly fixed oi two boys. One of the boys was heard to reply to bis chum aa they were talkini the matter over in secret that he would like to fir Mr. McCarthy's two Wash ington avenue houses, kill him and ther die like a man. ' No reason is known foi the act, except that the boys read dim novels. They were, lodged in Essei county jail for trial. Three boys recently broke into a sa loon to rob it. As the proprietor enter ad. aroused bv the noise." one of thf young toughs deliberately drew his r yolver and fchot hirrf down. After his arrest the young murderer said when told that the man was dead, "Well, I must be a tough if I have killed a man." AT THE TOMBS. Not long ago, at the Tombs, a boy of 12 was arraigned for felonious assault He saot a boy of his own age. They were at cards, gambling. One called the other a liar. The young gambler, acting out the story he had read, rose with dig nity and said, "Johnny, that has got to be wiped out with blood," and drawing a revolver sent a bullet into the head of his companion. A boy of 16 years of age, after read ing about train wrecking, tied a log across a railroad over a culvert and sta tioned himself on a fence a short distance away to see the train wrecked. Provi dentially the engineer saw the obstruc tion in time to Bave the train, but one man was killed. The young desperado said after his arrest he had been reading about a train which had been wrecked and thought he would Eke to see one himself. In April a year ago a boy 15 years of age was arrested after three attempts to wreck a train just beyond Saratoga. Three boys, 9, 12 and 13 years of age, weru arrested at 8 o'clock in tha morn ing some time ago in New York city. 171 l our loaaea revolvers wera found in their possession and a quantity of filthy stones, iney naa run away from home in Worcester. Mass.. and wera on thafr way to Lead villa to seek their fortune. They had stolen money with which to stars ana armea themselves in a innk - A " store. A boy of 14. of resnertabla was discovered etealin&r monev from brother. He had in his pocket nna of mese oirty publications.
