the fact that the difference be-

the fact that the difference be-
tween the prisoner and the free
citizen is but little more than one
of condition, it's value as a reform
ative agency would be greatly en-
HANGED. One Of the standing Won
ders of a penitentiary is what got
most Of it's inmates behind the
walls; the moral capacity for crime
is not apparent, nor can any rules
of logic deduce reasons for believ-
ing that even small minority are
welded to crime. The special
cases wherein prisoners return to
wrong-doing after release are al
ways moralized on as evidence of
the total depravity Of the so-called
criminal classes; but the thousands
that quietly assume honest pur-
suits are seldom referred to by the
criminologist.

power that guides opinion and in
fuence, and not political morals.
Political literature and the studied
utterances Of leaders have little ed
ucational value for teaching patri-
otto duty to the voter. Sympathy
is won and judgment beclouded by
the theatrical pageantry Of orator
ical sophistry that paraphrases the
real issue with a mass of meaning
less generalities and resilient logic
that warps more than it diffuses in
telligence.
The legacy of politics is disap-
pointment-where the few succeed
the many fail. From Clay to
Blaine the history of American
politics is study Of broken prom
Uses, disappointed hopes and the
mockery of fame.

RESPONSIBILITY.

To RISE in the world RESPONSE
bility must be sought. When di-
recting power is assumed the
critical point Of career is reached.
Ability is then put to the test and
it's value judged. The best ele-
ments Of character are brought out
to kindle ambition, awaken en-
ergy, and arouse every faculty to
infuse confidence and prove fitness
for the higher duties Of place of
trust. A new avenue of life is
opened, Judgment sharpened and
the opportunity for acquiring posi-
ton, influence and knowledge of
men and affairs expanded by the
wider experience gained in the en-
larged field of endeavor that re-
sponsibility affords. The implied
obligations Of duty appear in a
clearer light, revealing capacity for
action and strength Of will-power.
To refuse responsibility is to re-
ject opportunity. Want Of self
confidence and proneness to de-
pend on others are the two elements
of character that units men for
aggressive action and management
of affairs. Accustomed to rely on
others for guidance they fail to APP
preciate their own value and fitness
for command.

The Elmira reformatory, acting
on the theory that morals are gov
erned by the stomach, propose to
experiment on a graded food sys-
tenn as means of reforming the
more hardened of the inmates of
that institution. The idea is a
good one. Course food and moral
improvement have no affinity. The
material wants of man must be
satisfied before his mind can be
made impressionable to the higher
realities of life. When Dickens
made one of his characters say, ut
is easy to be good on ten thousand
a year," he expressed a truth Of
human nature that needs no ex-
PLANTATION. The sense of right and
wrong cannot develop under hard
conditions, nor can manhood as
sert it's self-respect without a share
of the comforts of life. Depriving
man absolutely, Of the conven-
fences, necessaries and accustomed
luxuries of civilization debases his
moral sense and embitters him
against society. In the govern
ment Of prisoners their material
needs should be provided as far as
is consistent with discipline, econ
omy and the punitive demands Of
Justice.
