The Escnpnde. OF College Boys

Two patrol wagons, filled with Princeton
students. were driven from the door of
dance hall not long ago. and the young
men eventually lodged in Jail. The "Phila-
delphia North American" ironically sug-
gests that this is simply practical demon
stration of some of the new theories of
education. and that the police were stupid
not TO understand it.
If the young students were really en-
gagged in making a public disturbance in

they should carry their experiment out TO
its logical conclusion. and enable them
selves to appreciate the feelings OF that
character wher he is locked ZIP in jail One
experience is certainly quite as important
as the other. There are some cases in
which students have been mixed up with
riots in theatres and elsewhere. and have
been allowed to escape the natural conse-
auences of their conduct because they were
collegians with respectable relatives This
is hardly fair. If students break the law,
they should take the consequences. and
not seek 20 dodge behind the name of their
university.
1t is not likely. however, that such in
cidents are any more common now than
formerly. In fact, many good authorities

Judge in Connecticut has expressed the
| opinion that it would be a good thing tc
make whipping the punishment for minor
| offences. thereby lessening the expenses OF
| the State and giving tramps and petty
| criminals a punishment that they could
understand. This opinion has been eA-
pressed by various political economists in
| different parts of the country. 1t is argued
! that such a punishment would not deprive
/ the wife and children of q rascal of the
| support which he owes to them. and would
/ be a punishment which would hurt and hu-
initiate him
1t is doubtful. however. if the advantages
of this plan outweigh its very serious dis
/ advantages. The lash is a thing which
even the lowest criminal is apt to regard
as peculiarly degrading, and as a rule it
has anything but a happy effect upon him,
| arousing in him a sullen resentmen: and
antagonism toward society in general,
which is apt to be dangerous. II is hardly
worth while to change a petty thief into
determined criminal, for the sake of saw
ing a few dollars.
There is no question that it is very bad
plan TO confine Migrants and petty crimi-
mails in idleness, at the expense OF the
State. even for few weeks. If the jail is
fit for human being to live in it is prob
ably more comfortable quarters than they
have known outside, and if it IS not fit
for human occupancy, nobody ought TO be
made to live in it. Some of the jails in
this country are a disgrace to civilization.
They are filthy, ill-yentilated, ill-con-
structed holes. in which men are herded
together indiscriminately, halfgrown boys
with adult criminals, and a more conven-
lent place for the growth OF every kind
of vice could hardly be contrived. The
prisoners have nothing TO do but to ex-
change experiences. and the tales they tell
are Improbable education for young boys.
But the whipping post would only add
new element to this degradation, 1t would
not act as deterrent to hardened crimi-
nails. and it might make mere Migrants
and petty thieves determined enemies of
law and order
IT, however. every man put in jail were
made to work and earn his board the evil
effects of idleness would be avoided, and
if the culprit had a family which he ought
to support, his earnings could be bestowed
on them His Incarceration would thus
be a benefit instead Of calamity 20 the
innocent persons dependent upon him, and
the obligation TO work is punishment
enough TO keep some men in wholesome
fear of the law. Let the saw-horse be
substituted for the cat-o'-nine-tails, and
the effect on the morals of the commu-
nifty and the pockets of the taxpayers will
probably be more desirable than if every
friendless. half-vicious fellow were pub
liely dashed for the purpose of making him
behave himself.

TO this, the whole household should be in

Reports from the Philippines are re-

There are strong evidences that great
deal of unfavorable news is being sup
pressed by somebody. The unavoidable
conclusion is that Otis has so completely
mismanaged operations against the in
surrectinn that il will take a competent
military commander another year, with
considerable reinforcement at that, TO
restore peace and order. Perhaps after
Otis is out of the archipelago, the real
truth as TO prevailing conditions may reach
the country. He is a failure for which
the Administration alone is responsible.
The people of this country have been de-
manding his removal for ten months. He
is being recalled at last TO save Mr.. Nc
Kinley from carrying such load on his
back during the campaign. But the load
dat Otis has created by his policy and
course at Manila cannot be shifted. All
that his late hackers can do is to smother
the facts as we'll as they can until after
