"The Pups of War"

While Senator Thurston was making
his Cuban speech news came that the
Spanish fiotilla had sailed from the
Canary Islands. A senator mentioned
the matter to Mr.. Hanna and said:
Now, the dogs Of war viii be unloos-
ed" Mr. Hanna pointed to Mr.. Thurs
ton, who was speaking at the time,
and remarked, No; you mean the
pups of war;"
Now the American people are very
tired Of Marcus AlonZo Hanna. They
have tolerated him for years. They
viii not stand him much longer He
has never said or done a thing which
was not un-American and traitorous.

or less vicious tendencies, in together,
you are likely to have a very much
| more Objectionable crowd at the end of
their incarceration than at the begin
ming. All that their imprisonment does
! for them is to Keep them out of the
way of the public for a few weeks, or
months, or years, and, then let them
| loose for some other magistrate to
catch and imprison. Consider also the
fact that many of these criminals are
mere boys, perhaps of an adventurous
turn of mind, illiterate, yet keen-witted
and full of boyish impulses. Their
minds must have something to work
on, and the older criminals become
| their heroes. Establish your prison,
! moreover, under such a rule that the
convict shall be taught nothing but the
! simplest form of manual labor-nOth-
ing that will develop him in any way,
or give him anything to look forward
| to except all the license he can get on
his release from prison, then you have
material for all the criminals, Migrants
and vicious tramps that this country
! can support for hundred years.
This has something to do with the
criminal statistics of the negro race.
Some Of the convict camps in the
South are such living helIs that no
| jury will send white man of decent
antecedents there if it is possible to
avoid it. The negro youth of fifteen
! or sixteen, however, is sent there with
out any computations if he happens to
be friendless young rapsCalliOn; and
he associates with the most depraved
of both races, so that whatever vicious
tendencies he may have are given full
liberty to flourish, and whatever latent
good there may be in him has no
chance at all. The result is a tramp
who is the terror of the country, and
q good subject for the hangman in
course of time.
There will always be a certain
amount Of viciousness in human ma
ture, and a certain amount of laZiness,
and a certain amount of brutishness;
and the tramp, like the more respect
able poor man, is therefore likely to be
always with US But his numbers can
be diminished, and he can be made
inuch less dangerous, by reform in our
prisons and municipal lodging houses
and labor exchanges in all our large
cities. 1t is just as much public duty
! to see to this thing as it is to look
after the preservation of our forests,
or endeavor TO keep our public service
| free from corruption and as efficient as
possible If that man is a public bene-
rrr1,1 IL
| grow where one grew before, much
more valuable to the public is he who
makes of a potential criminal an hon
est, harmless, and more or less useful
citizen.
