gia ought to empower her Prison ing Mrs. Nation, the judge said: “Missouri is no place for you. Missouri is not a good state for short-haired women, long-haired men or whistling girls.” She was arrested the night be fore and taken to the police sta tion in a patrol wagon, afterwards .being released on a cash bond of $6. Mrs.JNation lectured in Kan sas City, Kansas^, Saturday night, and came over to the Missouri [side yesterday morning. She Btarted on a tour of investigation I among the down town saloons that evening. A crowd of 1,000 men and boys followed her to Twelfth and Walnut streets, where there sare saloons on three corners. She was arrested because the crowd following her blockaded the street. She severely lectured the saloon men whom she visited. Criminal Cost $600,000,000. An eminent lawyer in New York stated recently that the legitimate cost of this nation’s criminal pop ulation was the astounding amount of $600,000,000 per annum. In other words the whole population who make cotton or wheat will have their labors sunk in caring for criminals. Think how many useful citizens have to bear this terrible load and if left alone the burden will annually increase. Georgia owes it to herself and her citizens to stop this fearful waste of men and money. Geor- fellows and better farmers are hard to find than Messrs. Webb Commissioners to erect at Mill- edgeville an inexpensive but well arranged Reformatory for the State to save both sexes and races. This is better than County Reformato ries because she can afford to pay a thoroughly competent Superin tendent who can inspire his asses- tant8 with his knowledge, plans and zeal for real manhood. The Reformatory is to deal with those older than those the noble orphans homes are so successfully reaching. They take the orphans, the children of the absolutely des titute and of the morally desti tute, but from 14 to 20 there grow up a crowd of boys and girls who have thrown off their weak ineffec tive family government, who know no trade or perhaps wont study or work. These will soon be gam blers, sots, tramps, or if girls, de praved. It is wiser to spend $200 or $300 to turn lives, by moral, mental and physical training in to useful citizens than to have to try them, build words in the peni tentiary or asylum for them or to hang them.
