the battle of San Jacinto, in which Cen
era Lawton was killed. The Associated
Press report OF the battle stated that one
OF the men OF the Thirty-third had been

1t seems that young Browns name was
printed in Northern or Eastern paper
among the wounded, for yesterday the
mother OF the young man received a let
ter from friend III anothe State, which
stated that the writer had seen Harry
Browns name among the list OF those
wounded az the battle OF san Jaeinto This
letter, which was really one of confidence
TO the mother, brought the first news OF
her son being wounded. On receipt Of
the letter Rev. Brown telegraphed the
war department at Washington for infor-
nation relative to his son. receiving a
reply that the young man was shot through
the abdomen December %.
While the wound is necessarily serious
1t is supposed that 1t did not prove fatal.
since the Parents have received no no
tihCation TO that effect.
Harry Brown enlisted as a private, but
was scon promoted 10 the rank OF cor
pOral in his company.

INDEPENDENT manhood is man S highest achieve

INDEPENDENT manhood is man highest achieve
ment but it must rest strong characteristics to be
of value as an example. Staggering manners, or a
quick tempered disposition have not the attributes
Of independence nor have they the power to inspire
respect or win friends. Independence is freedom
from prejudice and the trammels of obstinate opin-
ion It hates sophistry, servity and interested in
iuence It is always devoted to freedom Of thought,
action and personality where they do not invade the
rights of others or the rules Of proprety
Above all it must not be COMPOUNDED with NERVE -
for independence is always courtly.

In AN address recently delivered before the ma
tional prison congress at Cleveland the Hon. c. V.
Collins Superintendent Of the New York state prs-
ons, displayed keener perception of our duty to
criminals than has obtained in the past He be-
eves first of ALL in teaching the criminal the folly
and actual loss of defyng the laws of society More
than that, "the ideal penal institution he says,
''should combine with elementary mental training
the functions of sanatorium, reformatory, and an
industrial school,
Most prisoners have more or less serious physical
ailments that act constant irritants. Their cells,
built on the plan of seventy five years ago. accord
ing to the superintendent, altogether too small
and unhealthful Occupation for prisoners is essen
tial, according to this same palnstaklng authority
He condemns the practice OF giving easy clerical
positions in prison to old offenders of proven capacity
at their tasks, as it tends to build up privileged
class in prison who grow to look upon the institution
as the best sort Of home.
Superintendent Collins believes in the moral,
mental physical and industriay productive up-build-
ing of criminals, so that when they return to the
world they may find place for which their newly
acquired qualifications fit them AS penal statistics
show that large percentage of the occupants OF our
prisons are men and women who have served former
terms in either county or state prisons, Mr. Collins
insists that both county and state penal institutions
should be placed under the control of one head, in
order that more uniform results in reformation along
the lines he points out may be accomplished Here
tofore we have punished without than the most
superficial investigation to what Herbert Spencer
would have called FIRST causes"
Revenge and reformation different as
night and day. Any tendency to glorify the crimi-
nal must be condemned He is social cancer, but
as such he is entitled to close and sympathetic study
as to cause and If society negects this study,
with it's logical deductions and application OF dis
coveries, then we guilty than the criminal.
So far, society has been the real criminal-Minne-
apolis Mirror.
