REFORM BETTER THAN PUYsHHEYT.-We
notice by a correspondence of the n. Y. Tribune,
that Massachusetts has within her borders an in
stituton designed as a place of reception for
youth arrested for criminal practices, in which,
instead of the usual mode of punishment by con-
fncment and harsh treatment, they are treated
with kindness, usefuly employed, and educated.
The number of criminals or rather pnpils then at
the institution, was between and 400, and so
far as the writer could Judge from all he saw and
heard the course pursued with them was working
most beneficial reform upon their characters,
and there was reason not only to hope but to be-
lieve, a majority of them would be restored to So
cietv, valuable and useful members.
| We wish the example of Massachusetts could
| be initiated by every state and every town in ev-
cry state, of the Union, and indeed in every coun-
try of the civilized globe That policy which
seeks only the infiction of pain upon the offender
against the laws, is a very blind one, and produc-
tive of quite as much evil as good. Society
wants security for the future, rather than Gin
demnity for the past, in these matters, and there
can be no possible manner in which this security
can be assured, except by the education of the
criminal above the disposition to commit crime.
/ This may be considered very difficult work with
reference to old offenders, but admitting it, it
must be borne in mind that there are very few
old offenders who were not once young often
ders. and it is not a difficult work with reference
t. young and growing minds, for as general
thing, such minds can be directed in any channel
/ BY effort. How much better then that policy
which makes the reform rather than the punish
ment Of the offender, its primary object. If one
individual has been wronged by another, what
possible good can it do to him who is wronged,
t. have any amount of punishment inflicted on
the offender it neither obliteratos the offence
nor destroys the bad effects of it. We are told
it will deter others, and perhaps it will, but we
think it will be neither denied nor doubted that
the policy which tends to reform the criminal
will furnish to society much greater degree Of
security, than that which looks only to his pun
ishment.

THE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY IN
WANT

THE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY IN
WANT.
Two circulars have recently been issued from
the Bible House in New York one referring to
the importance of supplying the waste places in
our own country and the other enumcratinC some
of the calls which are made upon the managers
of the American Bible Society from foreign
lands. The former refers to the fact that there
are poor and destitute counties in our land where
hundreds of families are living without the BIZ
bic, and calls earnestly upon the friends of this
book to aid inits dissemination.
The Society is needing the means to print SOW
eral thousand dollars worth of bibles and tesla
ments for gratuitous distribution in our own
country.
The circular in relation to foreign distribution
informs us that calls for aid to publish the scrip
lures are before the board from the three CONT
nents of the Eastern Hemisphere to the amount
OF some $4,000 all of which will be needed with
in eighteen months Twenty-Five thousand
of this will be needed within six months. and
twelve thousand is wonted al thiS moment.
Some of those for whom these calls are made
plead for the scriptures like those who are fam
shing, and if they are denied it will leave a dark
stain upon christendom. Here then is an answer
to the enquiry. What does the Southport b. S.
want of funds, and why does it make an annual
effort We reply 1t Is an auxiliary of the A
merican Bible Society and as such has the
WORLD for its field 1t was once a beneficiary of
the Parent Society, but has now the ability not
only to supply the destitute at home, but to re-
pay the kindness of the A. B. S by aiding it in
supplying other places.
In 1917 it gave for this object $4,000. In
1913 Sl22,43. This was done BY the aid of
the seven town Societies in the south part of the
FNba old oft hasa societies katpf, .til
continued the donation to the A. b. S. this year
SHOULD be at least $4,000. The wants of the
world demand it, and the ability of the friends of
the Society is equal to it. But if this sum is
raised the contributions of former years must at
least be doubled We hope that TO do so will be
esteem d a privilege, and that every man who
has heart to feel aud the power to act, will re-
spond cheerfully and literally to the call for aid

Mrs. Merrick is 73 years old, and has travelled

til 1915, there will be nice little bill OF arrear-
age for the government to foot up, should it be
demanded; and on the other hand, should it be
proved illegal, there will be nice little sum for
government to collect from those who have lie
gally claimed and received it-and we hope il
may get it. We think the claim for constructive
mileage should be allowed and paid-in the same
manner in which the service is performed. Thus
when Senator demands his constructive mileage
the clerk should tell him to pass along his receipt
and consider himself consructively paid. This
would balance the books and be fair business

IL Congress commences its session week
p2ct lis adjournment before next August. To
be no person can think of any sufficient rea-
son for Il session of half the length, but then we
know from the past, that such will be the fact.
Since the foundation of the government Con-
gress has been gradually departing from its legi-
innate duty of seeking out the real wants of the
nation, and enacting measures to supply those
wants, to consult the ambitions and designs OF
mere individuals and parties. To put this man
and party up or TO put that man and party down is
now the primary business of our national legls-
lature, AM OF course as this involves a vast ma
nv personal and sectional interests, nine or ten
months are none too many to quarrel over them.
All this grows, of course, out of the patronage
in the hands OF the President, and Just as this pa
tronage increases BY the growing extent of our
country, the evil will grow until the year will BE-
too short for members of Congress to do up their
quarrcling in. This Congress, however, is Sc
CLOSELY balanced with reference to parties, that
we may expect more than the usual quantity OF
lay in tie decision Of questions. Neither the
dwoosSGe or wing party will have working
majority .aad the zee sellers will hold the bllanc
of power. This will tax all the arts OF politicians
and such marching and countermarching, such
advancing and retreating, such diminishing on
the eutposts. ambuseades, mines, traps, &c. &c.
probably the political world has not Of late years
seen the parallel Of This is one of the cases
where those who dance are not required to pay
the tidlcr, and we may therefore expect t3at tn,
dancing will be vigorously kept up until mex

Court, has decided that neither personal property
owned by the Mutual Insurance Companies. nor
their funds held as capital are liable to taxation.
The effect of this decision is TO take out of the tax

would otherwise have been added to the taxable
property of this year, otherwise greatly reducing
the rate of taxation. The counsel of the Cor
