Just why tits that children at the break

they have deeply rooted desire to have
what their parents do in the way OF food
and drink; then l believe they naturally
like something hot TO sip with Il spoon: ut
any rate, the demand is there, and I'm blest
if it isn't bard to get over, when one has
three or four in the family. but we can't
give our young folks coffee to drink: every
one knows its effect on children and it
seems almost criminal TO set before the in
nocents something we know will harm
them

AIRSHIPS.

There has been quite an amount of
newspaper talk lately, both in and out
of prison, about airships. Being a
sailor am naturally interested in ships
of all kinds, and l often think that men
discharged from this place create an
airship, as it were, about themselves,
to sail away to freedom. But, alas!
many of them are shipwrecked by
putting on "too much air." and wander
back to this place for repairs.
1 think an airship would be good
thing in its place. 1 should certainly
not refuse the position of cOxswain on
such ship were it offered to me. If
we, as convicts, could navigate the air
our dreams of freedom would be real
lied. And 1 believe we would give
that moon said to be used as penal
institution wide berth.
The planet Neptune, said to be the
home of departed sailors and their
sweethearts, would be more to our
liking. 1t is said they have grand
times up there sailing through eternity
under bright sky, over smooth sea
said to be free from land and water
sharks, and also from tough captains.
And from there we could sail out

over the beautiful Pacific ocean and I
could point out to you land (the
Pitcairn islands,) on this wicked earthly
planet where crime is absolutely un-
known; where the people are happy
and contented, with no lawyers fees to
pay and no sleepy policemen to keep
awake.
Then we could sail on to the west
ward and we would find land (Tas-
mania,) that is proof of what an ex-
convict and his posterity may accom-.
plish if he but tries. In this land the
sons and daughters of ex-convicts are
living proofs that if crime is hereditary
it is also durable. They are as honest,
pure, and noble as the children of the
chosen elect or the 81 am clean, go thou
and be likewise; people that one meets
occasionally on this planet.
SINBAD.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1897-05-13

We try to remove crime by hunting
down and capturing the criminal, and
neglect to seek a remedy by removing
the sources of crime. The conditions
of our civilization which makes it i'm
possible for large proportion of the
population to gain living should be
radically changed. The problem of
crime, in very significant sense, is the
problem of civilization. The very
fountains of human generation must
be cleansed until the environment is
improved. Humanity will respond
even more readily to social, political,
and industrial improvement than men
have ever dreamed. Every conceiva-
BILE problem up for solution today has
its roots in the deep, wide underbed of
human generation. We must breed
better. Better breeding implies better
conditions. The people must be eman-
cipated. The monopoly of the earth's
bounties must not be enjoyed by the
few. Equal and equitable distribu
tion are necessary for uniform prog
ress and safety. We can empty the
prisons by the dispensation of justice.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
QUESTION.

Considerable stress has been laid on
the statement that the unequal organi-
zation of the social system is the cause
of the existence of such evils as gross
intemperance and crime. But the great
trouble is that we do not look upon
ourselves as forming responsible
unit in what we term the social sys-
tenn. We look away to some populous
centre where wealth is enjoying the
''sweet doing nothing" and exclaim,
"those people have no right to revel IN
such luxury while 1 have to labor all
day for mere pittance." However
logical this statement may be in the
oretical sense, it lacks substantial
backing, inasmuch as these people
came by their money, if not honestly,
at least within the pale of the law, and
consequently have right to do as they
please with it. If anything is wrong it
is the laxity Of the law that is, or
should be, made by the majority Of the
people-which means the workingmen,
or poorer classes. 1t may sound we'll
to say that some rich man has acquired
his wealth by dishonest methods; but
we have yet to hear of any one of the
thousands who make the statement at
tempting to prove it. It is all silly
anarchical babble; we are not at all
outraged by the man breaking the laws,
