HARTMAJi'S PAROLE RKVOKKD.
The fact that Judge Crawford was
compelled to revoke the parole which
he recently granted J. . Hartman
the shoplifter, will not meet with any
opposition In this city and section,
where Hartman has resided.
' The Recorder believes In giving
every man a chance to be a man in
in the true sense of the word, but af
ter a man has been given repeated
trials and does not make good we are
unable to see where anything would
be accomplished in granting him fur
ther favors.
Hartman served one term In the
penitentiary for petty thieving and
since that time ha been guilty of
many similar acts but through sym
pathy tor hi family and for him the
injured parties gave him an oppor
tunity to replace the stolen articles
and avoid arrest. On many occasions
ha has escaped the penitentiary aa a
result of sympathizing friends. The
favors shown him were unappreciat
ed, however, and he continued his
lawless -ways until he was again ar
rested. Hence we cannot see the ad
visability of attempting to parole him
and permitting him to ply his thlev
tng profession upon a suffering pub'
lie The residents of this section
have been the victims of his dastard
ly work for many years and we do not
see why they should be longer sub-
jected to his nefarious practice.
Hartman is a man of many excel
lent accomplishments and aside from
hi petty theft has been a good citl
en, but when any man cannot let
the property of his neighbor' alone it
, Is time to care for him, whether he
be 4 kleptomaniac or not, and espe
cially so after he has been given
core of opportunities to reform and
become a man. ' Laws and penitentiar
ies are not provided simply for the
reformation of criminals but to pro-
tect and Innocent public from their
depredations, The penitentiary will
not reform Hartman, but It will pro
tect the public and their wordly pos
sessions. Hartman has never shown
any desire to reform, nud for this
reason alone we believe the parole
would have been fruitless. The Re
corder does not want to persecute any
man, but we do believe In protecting
our cltlxens from the criminal acts
of others. Elgin Recorder.

The above gentleman, whose ap
pearance with the Elks' should create
a furore, will sing a song which has
been written ' expressly for him, the
title of which appears above. Jlmmle
has long been sought after by roman
tic girl and anxious mammas, and
so far he has been able to dodge them.
He recites his reason for his preference
for single blessedness, In touching ac
cents, and after these performances no
more plots will be hatched to ensnare
his boyish affections.
Get your seats.
There is room for all and to spare in Union county. Every day large holdings
are being subdivided and thereby opportunity is given those who wish to purchase choice'
fruit tracts or who desire to farm on a small scale. Nowhere in the state can so many
desirable selections be made, or where there is such an opportunity for individual selection.
If you are looking for a fruit tract, hay ranch, a wheat farm, a dairy ranch or poul
try farm or even a cattle ranch, come to Union county. You will find exactly what you
have been looking for and at a price you can afford to pay. The following illustration
will explain better than words just the kind of prosperity that is in store for you if you
cast your lot with the dozens of Union county.
