The grading and parole system
is of incalculable value III the
maintenance Of a proper standard
of discipline. It offers an !ncent-
i've to the prisoner that stimulates
self-control. vigilence and self-help
and above all teaches him, in spite
of himself, that it pays to keep III
line with a high order OF manly
conduct. The privileges and I'M
munities. penalties and deprlva-
tons, proportionate to the differ
ent grade standings, can be made
a powerful force for the malnte-
nance Of a high order Of dis clplne.
Without the aid of we'll regulat
ed grading system. good discipline
is out OF the question, and the
chances for reform are proport,on-
atelv lessened. Upon our ability
to inaugurate a system Of discipline
that will strengthen character and

THE SAME OLD STORY,

Friday, William Becker, a farmer living
south of Massillon, came to Canton and at
tempted to see the town by electric light. He
came into police headquarters during the night
considerably the worse for liquor and was
locked up for safe keeping. He had S1946 in
money on his person at that time. He claims
to have drawn S171 from the bank during the
day and to have had the money in his boot
leg. In the evening instead of returning to
the quiet and peaceful village ON the canal he
visited the resorts on Saxton and Jefferson
streets in search of amusement and new ex.
periences. He drank considerable book beer
talked with the men, firted with the women
and had general good time. He was found
during the night by the night conductor of the
yard crew on the Ft, Wayne, standing be-
tween two freight cars at the Ft. Wayne
freight depot sound asleep. He was awakened
and started up town. There was quite differ
ence this morning in Becker's ideas of amuse-
ment from what he had last night. He thinks
$3.50 is pretty stiff price for one nights fun.
He has no idea where he lost his money,
whether he was robbed or whether he spent il.
He isonly conscious of one fact that he has $3.50
worth of experience, purchased in Canton in
one night. The case is a hard one to handle
as there is no way of getting any proof against
the perpetrators. Becher was either drugged
or was too drunk to know what had happened
to him.

THE WORKHOUSE
An Interesting Place-Facts Brought
Out by Visit There-Talks
With Prisoners.

Up to March 9th four hundred and fifteen
prisoners have been confined in the county
workhouse. Ninety.nine Of these are Of foreign
birth. They were sentenced for from ten days
to three years; the average sentence being
about seventy days. Their ages range from
sixteen to sixty-four years, averaging about
thirty years. Fifteen have been sentenced the
second and two the third time
At present there are ffty-three prisoners
forty-six males and seven females. Twenty
one of these were without employment at the
time of their arrest. Only one says he will not
try to get work after his discharge. He says
he lived well for about a year before his inn
prisonment and that he can do the same after
his release CT is to be regretted that his sem
tence is SHORTY Twenty-one of the fifty two
are common laborers. Five claim that they
do not use Intoxicating liquors and three that
they do not use tobacco, Three say they were
abused in their childhood, while several think
their parents treated them too well. -Four
cannot read. The rest have had fair amount
of schooling. Five is the average number of
years that the ffty-three attended school.
As general rule the prisoners are outcasts
from all good society, who care for no one and
without friends, without hope for much hap
piness in this world or the world to come.
They are immoral, hard-hearted and treacher-
Gus. Yet, there is some goodness in everyone,
They can not be allowed to disobey any rule
however trivial or soon they will be disobey-
ing all rules. They will do little more than
they are forced to do. When obedient they
are always treated with kindness, for, it is be-
lieved, no man can be made better by rude
treatment.
The females, according to the number, are
much more troublesome than the males.
Prisoners are allowed no liquor and given no
tobacco. Their hunger for tobacco is much
greater than their thirst for liquor.
The first object of the workhouse is to pun
ish, the second to reform. The first is always
accomplished, the second hardly ever. 1t is
easier TO punish one hundred than TO reform
one. The workhouse has the means and pow
er to punish, but it only has the means of
showing the prisoner that he has derived no
benefit from his wicked ways. No instance
is known of any complete reform, but several
ex-prisoners are known to be leading better
lives, 1t is doubtful whether they dc it be-
cause they are better or whether they do it for
fear of punishment.

sECRETARY,s REPORT.

SECRETARY'S REPORT
Secretary Miller read his annual report
Of the work of the board;
In compliance with the bylaws it Is my
duty and pleasure to make a report to
you cs the work of the board of trade for
the year just ended.
1t has been year of unusual depression
and hardship In all lines Of business, and
has necessarily precluded any large and
active undertakings on behalf of the
board of trade, but notwithstanding this
depression, your attention is respectfully
called to the fact that the population of
Canton has gradually increased until now
the registration of male voters has
reached the large number of seven thous-
and, three hundred, indicating popula-
tion of thirty-six thousand, five hundred,
within the limits of the city.
Several new manufacturing etablish-
ments have been added during the past
year, notably the Crucible steel company,
and the Safety Elevator company and re-
organization of the G. Aultman g. Co.
and the Sun Vapor Street Light company
has been effected, which places both of
these institutions upon sounder flnan-
cial basis than they have been for many
years, and they enter upon an era
of renewed vigor and prosperity, which
cannot help but be of general benefit to
our city. During the year large num-
bers of letters of inquiry have been inves-
tigated and answered, and Indications are
that with renewed efforts we will be able
during the coming year to add largely to
our manufacturing interests.
For the new year / ask your co-opGra-
tion, not only in inducing new indus
tries to locate in this city, but to increase
the membership of this board of trade
which during the year should reach at
least one thousand members. Similar
organizations i'm cities of like population
have membership largely in excess of
ours, and with a large membership, such
as we have, each working to tie com
mon end, a mighty force and lnwer
could be organized for the development
of the city in which we are interested
TO accomplish this strong commit
tee on membership should be organized
which should be empowered to make u
thorough canvass of the city.

Literary Preferences of Stevenson.

Certain opinions of Robert Louis Ste-
venson, as expressed In talk with friends,
are related by the Pail Mall Budget. His
passion for Dumas he was never tired of
proclaiming, and for Scott, with limita-
tions, which he became more conscious of
as he grew older. Walt Whitman, he
averred, "blew into space a thousand cob
webs of genteel and ethical Illusions" the
which he did not further specify. He
"should be much Of q hound, T." he said,
"if he lost his gratitude to Herbert Spon.

highly abstract joy, plucked naked like an
algebraio symbol, but still joyful" He
boastod of having been "the sedulous
ape" of Hazlitt, Lamb, Defoe, Hawthorne,
Sir Thomas Browne, Wordsworth, Baude-
laire, Obermann, Browning and for a
moment Swinburno, on whose bosom ho
said he reclined when he wrote "Mon-
mouth, Tragedy" Among his other
great admirations were St. Matthew, Mar

Meredith, THE Egoist" being his greatest
fayorite among the works of that author.
