''The record of Kansas, in peace and in
war, is proud one. It stirs the patriotic
blood and begets high resolve. The
stormy birth, the bloody baptism, the
aggressive nature, the stalwart youth, and
the glorious young manhood Of the State,
have made it historic. Its wonderful
variety Of production, the richness and
vigor Of its soil, the extent of it's natural
resources, its unsurpassed system of
public education, its heroism in war, its
activity in all peaceful pursuits, and its
most marvellous material development,
have made it the typical American Com
monwealth.
To the people Of such q state We con-
fidentially appeal for the cooperation
necessary to make an exhibit at Chicago
such as will once more attract the atten-
tion of the world, and confirm our posi-
tion as one Of the most progressive Com
monwealths in the Union"

old sweet voiced mother, with hair thread

Some people seem to have the idea
that the constant use Of big words is an
evidence Of genius or at least of itera-

language possible should always be used
to represent an idea. In other words per-

which all ambiguous and convoluted rhe-

his detention less irkSOme. Now, however
beneficial the final results of military training
may be, 1t is stated as matter of fact by those
who are in a position to know, that the dis.
cipline is of the most severe and rigid; that
the strictest West Point rules obtain; and
that so far from being agreeable to the men
it is regarded as hardship and a penalty.
Again he quotes from one of the Elmira
official reports. as styling teetotalism a
''viciOus weakness" when the expression
is distinctly and avowedly used by the su-
perintendent in certain discussions carried
on by him with the men, to arouse their
views on the subject of intemperance. with
the result, of course anticipated by him, of
bringing down upon himself temperance
lectures delivered by his own convicts. Of
the denunciation of the Elmira system on
the grounds of the absence of religious
training, it may at least be said that such
training in prison has its serious drawbacks,
and that it was in prison that made relig-
iOus fervOr test of good conduct, that
Urlah Heep was pet prisoner. Finally
the undeniable fact that the Emira cOnvicts
do actually turn out we'll is grugdingly attrib-
uted to the custom of finding situations
for them on their release.
Whatever may be the final showing of
the work at ElmiIa. and however valuable
or worthless its system may eventually
prove. it is not to be taken now as spec-
men American prison, and because it is far
in advance of other penal institutions it
is impossible to judge other institutions by
the methods used and the standards set up
there. The Elmra reformatory is working
out ideas that are new to the realm of cor
rectiOn: it is an experiment station for the
whole country, and it is not to be supposed
that because its officers have presumed to
test the uses of physical development as all
aid to moral and mental power. and have
experimental with Turkish baths and the
use OF massage, that the whole penal popu-
lation OF the United States is lying in the
lap of oriental luxury. This is the view ev-
identity taken of the matter by the secretary
OF the transatlantic society. who seems to
think that our cOnvicts are favored to the
point of unrighteOusness, and that this is the
secret of the increase of crime in our midst.
Another point that the circular mentions
but places no stress on. is that the men at
Elmira are all young, the ages ranging from
sixteen to thirty, and all Under conviction
for first Offense. 1t is not claimed for the
system that it would be practicable in the
cases of old and hardened criminals. AS
for its being an easy system for the convict,
it is in fact the most difficult to carry out
for the very reason that the minds and
bodies of the subjects have been trained in
opposite directions from those of study and
development. Life at Elmira is not re.
garded BY the prisoners as paradisacal.
however it may appear to the secretary of
the Howard association. Press.
