the wonderful display of engineer

climbed and descended, coursing
the. precipitous hillsides, gliding
thru the valleys, .scaling the
heights, and winding its wav from
tunnel to tunnel, all as smoothly
as though crossing a level country.
At Marion .we noticed many im
provements, among the more im
portant being the handsome new
hotel almost completed and the
large cotton factory, with about
forty neat cottages for its employes,
nearly ready for operation.

SeTenty-firo per cent," says
The Digest, of the criminals ar
rested for petty larceny pocket
picking, hold-ups and , tho like
from the red light districts of New
York, are freed by the ward politi
cians. Statistics show that tliat
maintenance of police, armies,
courts, etc, cost the country
$1,373,000,000. and yet 'there are
four. and a half times as many
murders for every million of our
population ' today as there were
twenty years ago."'
Is it any wonder then that law.
lessness is on the increase, and
that criminals revel in a carnival
of crime! There can exist no re
spect for laws that are not enforc
ed; there can be no fear of punish
ment that is never imposed. In
this day- of easy pardons and in
sufficient punishment the habituil
criminal has a rosy path.
