Our Jail System a Failure. . Mayor Robbins has now been police judge less than four months yet in that brief time has learned, as has every man who has looked at our penal system with open eyes, that the jail method of treating criminals is a failure. "It will do no good, under present conditions, to send him to
jail," said the mayor to a Palladium reporter re
cently concerning a certain police court character.
Why wouldn't it do any good? It would rob
his family of its bread-winner, if they have been depending upon him. It would disgrace him in
the eyes of the community. It would shut him
up by himself for a period of unproductive idle
ness. It would enforce the law. It would give the jailer something to do. It would give the tax

About nineteen hundred years ago a carpenter came down to Jerusalem
from the province of Judea. He had j
recently gained fame as a great leader and emancipator. His mission was to instill into the downtrodden working class of his time self-respect, wherein each and all would refuse to be slaves to any one.
He. was gaining followers every day
andjthe Roman rulers decided to get
Union or quit his employ. Suppose every employer In Richmond who happens to employ a member of that union took similar action. How long could the union live? And then after killing that union suppose the same action was taken with other unions. This you will call exaggeration. But it is not. It is merely logic from a purely business point of view. This employer who has taken this action says it was a purely business proposition.
Workingmen, are you entirely de
void of business senBe; do you know what you should do as purely busi-
slren voice of the doctrine of selfrespect. Of course the actions of the railways were governed by purely business reasons. Since then hundreds of other serious conflicts between capital and labor have occurred, and hundreds of men
who were fighting to attain mat seurespect which Christ taught, have died on the battlefield; hundreds of women and children have slaved, starved and died in the cause, and the owners of

Coming down to our own times, will
refer briefly to the so-called Chicago anarchists. The Knights of Labor
made wonderful strides in the '80's in
organizing labor, and many sharp con
flicts with capital (the modern Rome) resulted. In the spring of '87 the Knights were organizing in Chicago, especially the Deering and McCormick
implement plants. Something had to be done. May 4 a meeting had been held in a number of places about Chicago and after one of these had almost dispersed about two hundred policemen charged into the remaining crowd. A bomb was thrown from somewhere, no one knows to this day
who threw it, the policemen were scattered in much the same way they would have scattered the crowd and as a result eight of the leaders of the Knights were arrested and charged with the crime. They were hanged in the fall, and the world was told and still believes that they were anarchists. As a matter of fact, they were preaching the doctrine of self-respect, trying to unionize the plants of the im-

Of course it was purely a business proposition from the the standpoint of the government. Coming home to Richmond we find a certain employer giving his employes the option of stripping off their self-respect by acceeding to his deman to withdraw from the Musicians'

"Can We Still Be Christians?"
"Can We Still Be Christians, by Rudolph
Eucken, Ph. D., The MacMillan Company, $1.25."
This is the modest announcement of one of the epoch making books of modern religious
thought.
If the almost unanimous verdict of scholars
and students the world over is to be trusted
Rudolph Eucken shares with Henri Bergson the
pre-eminence of being the greatest thinker of
the age. For years his class room in the Univer
sity of Jena has been the Mecca of European
scholars. It is significant of the present day ferment and conflict of opinions that he has as a
fellow teacher in the great school, Ernest Haeck-
el, who differs from him by almost the whole diameter of thought. Professor Eucken is one of the few living thinkers who is at home in all realms. His mastery of philosophy is astonishing as his "Problem of Human Life" goes to show. That volume (it has now sold more than 10,000 copies) is a profound analysis of philosophic thought from the ancient Hellenic thinkers to our own day. It is no mere stringing together of the various philosophies, but is itself an organic whole of thought which has taken all the varieties of doctrine into itself. The writing of such a book demanded a mind seldom granted to the world.
Among the sciences, he is also at home. His "Main Current of Modern Thought" reveals this
and shows he is no academic closet philosopher
conning over stale tomes, but a man alive to his
own day and able to wrestle with its problems.
Eucken's chief interest has always been religion, a subject in which the courage and power of his mind have had free play. It is this which
gives to his most recent volume its significance
"Can We Still Be Christians?" Eucken says
we can and his answer, coming from a man who has so completely mastered the whole of modern
culture, makes scrap paper of entire libraries of easy books written by our up-to-date, but very superficial critics who banish religion from the universe without first having taken the trouble
to discover what it is.
of the local houses to put on a film showing the
dangers of the pest. The Murrette has been the first thus far to respond.
This picture (it was prepared by Edward
Hatch who knows more about the house fly than
any other authority) permits one to see wherein
the insect is dangerous to life and health, and to
see this so clearly many things one has heard are
made much more credible.
The film shows the various stages of the fly's
career and how it gets itself wrapped with filth
which it rubs off on food, clothing, furniture, etc.
It gives a photo of the fly's foot in heroic size
and makes it easy to understand how it can leave
so many bacteria swarming in its wake.
Its methods of spreading tuberculosis, typhoid
and other dreaded maladies are made so plain
any child can comprehend. If you think of the fly campaign as the sport of hobbyists and of little importance to the community, make it a point to see one of these films. We predict you will be inspired to join the rapidly growing forces that are organizing to put the fly out of business in Richmond.

In '92 our old friend Andy Carnegie fell out with his steel mill employes at Homestead. Pa. They were protesting against the socialistic policy of dividing up, dividing with Andy on Andy's terms. So Andy, who tells today that he never had a strike, hired a few hundred Pinkertons who floated into Homestead on a bulge and shot some common sense into the strikers. Of course this was purely a business proposition from Andy's viewpoint. In '94 the American Railway Union was forced into a strike at Pullman and Chicago, and after they had won

There's a barrel-organ carolling across a golden street
In the city as the sun sets low; And the music's not immortal; but the world has made
it sweet And fulfilled it with the sunset glow;
And it pulses through the pleasures of the city and the pain
That surround the singing organ like a large eternal light;
And they've given it a glory and a part to play again
In the symphony that rules the day and night.
And now it's marching onward through the realms of old
romance, And trolling out a fond familiar tune,
And now it's roaring cannon down to fight the King of
FYance, And now it's prattling softly to the moon,
And all around the organ there's a set without a shore
Of human joys and wonders and regrets;
To remember and to recompense the music evermore
For what the cold machinery forgets. Alfred Noyes.
