The reported fortification by Chile Of
the Strait of Magellan is exciting inter
est in diplomatic and naval circles, and
some Of our leading people in those lines
are reported as expressing the opinion
that, If true, it will not do at all. The
idea is that the strait, which is resorted
to by vessels Of all flags, and is the pres
ent highway Of the nations in passing
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, cannot
be made a mare cIausum. We will not
quarrel with the principle: but if correct
why should it not apply to the Strait Of
Gibraltar, as well as to that of Magellan?
England commands the former, and many
other places and islands, also, In her ef-
fort to make the Mediterranean a British
lake. Would not Chile have at least as
much right TO erect forts and batteries
on her own shore?

An English Remedy for burglary.


Robert Anderson, an English maga-
zine writer. has been advocating i'm
prisonment for life as a remedy for
burglary. and possibly no more ef-
fective remedy, except death, could be
found He proposes that after a man
has been convicted Of burglary two or
three times he shall be imprisoned for
the rest Of his life, Oh the ground that
he has had sufficient warning not 10

take the consequences Of his decision
He thinks that one large prison would
hold all the burglars in England and
America. and that much time and trou-
bic would thereby be saved.
The latter statement is uudeniably
true. 1t is possible that the adoption Of
such plan would result in a material
reduction Of crime in general 1t is
certain that as things now are, the bur-
giar regards his imprisonment very
much as an ordinary man regards a fit
of illness-as an unavoidable Interrupt
tion to his work, but not a sign that
the work should not continue He
therefore employs his time while in

NEEDED BOOZE FOR HIS HEALTH

jamestown, June Andrew Sober
was arrested Sunday forenoon by
Chief L'Moore, charged with selling
and keeping for sale intoxicating
liquor in the shape Of whisky-said by
experts to be worse than the average
drug store brands. It seems that
Officer LiMoore had suspected Sober
for some days and Sunday he heard
Chas. Sprinkle, a well known character,
bargain with Sober for a pint OF
booze. Sprinkle and Sober went up
stairs in a building just north OF the
Salvation Army barracks and a few
minutes later L'Moore saw Sprinkle
come down with a pint of liquor in
his hand. Sober also came down.
L'Moore accused him of selling liquor
and accompanied him upstairs, where
a search for booze began. There
seemed to be little in sight. Sober
was ordered to open his trunk but
claimed he had lost the key. 1t was
suggested that a Ratchet be used to
open the trunk. Seber's efforts to
open the trunk failed also and L'Moore
seized the Ratchet and pried it open,
In the trunk was found quite a supply
of whisky in pint and quart bottles
and a jug partly filed with the liquor;
a number OF corks and empty bottles
were also found. Sober claimed thai
he had secured the liquor to use him
self, DR.. DePuy having told him thai
it was necessary for his health that III
use the booze daily.

DANGEROUS

Several members of the city coun-
ci! last night discussed the practice of
jumping On freight trains INDUCED in
by a large number of young boys, and
resolved to see if some means cannot
be employed to stop it. 1t is a popu-
lar custom with a number Of young
boys to run beside a moving freight
train, holding fast to the irons with
which brakemen and employees climb
up on the cars. Another practice is
to step on the foot rail and hold on to
the side rails and thus ride for a dis
lance until the train reaches a high
rate Of speed, when the juvenile per-
formers drop off. Several narrow es-
capes have been had from serious ae-
cidents and If the practice is contin-
ued, some boy will get badly injured.
1t is, well nigh impossible for police
officers or train employees TO check the
practice, but it is probable that the
railroad officials will be requested to
prosecute some Of the kids for tres
pass, IL the police officials make the
arrests. It would be well for parents
to inquire into this matter and E +
any OF their boys are among the offend
~ Sooner or later there will be al
accident and then the folly of this
practice will be evident.
