The KANSAS. PEOPLE ARE IN
LOVE WITH WESTERN
CANADA.
They Say the Land There Is the Fin
est on Earth.

A great number of delegates have
been Influenced through the agency
of Mr.. j. S. Crawford, the Canadian
Government representative at Kan
.sas City, to visit Western Canada, and
whether from Missouri OF Kansas the
story is always the same-they are
pleased with the new country being
opened up. Isaac FL. Levagood writes
from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows:
Il met three delegates from Kan
sas yesterday at Didsbury, and took
them home with me and took
them out in the afternoon and
showed them some of the fin
est land that lays on top of
Gods green earth. They are more
than pleased with this country. They
stayed with me last night, this morn
ing [ took them to Didsbury, and
they went on North. When they
come back they are coming to my
place and I am going to help them to
run some lines and they are going to
locate in sight of my house. There
have been over 1000 acres of land
changed hands here in our neighbor-
hood this spring. When [ located here
last Fall l was the furthest back of
any OF the settlers, to-day am IN
the centre of the settlement. We
have So children that are of school
age in our district. and we will have
our school district organized next
month, when we will proceed to build
our school house. The longer we stay
here the better we like the country,
that is the way with everybody here,
they all seem to be satisfied and do
ing well. I have talked with a great
many men here and they told me that
they had less than $50 when they got
here, and to-day they have got 100
acres of good land and five or six
hundred dollars worth of stock.
Crops are looking fine here, I think
this will be a good winter wheat
country. One of my neighbors has a

Something like ten years"
The sergeant sized up the children
and inferred that in that event all
three must have been born on the
road. as the eldest appeared about
eight years of age. He made known
his observation.
"Y-a-s," drawled the father, as he
signed for his package. Charlie

The children were designated by
the wagons in which they were born,
and he had snapped wagons three

Legislation providing for the suspen.
sion of the execution of sentence and
the conditional release of a convicted
drunkard upon parole under the super
vision of probation officer has been
enacted in Massachusetts,, New Jersey
and Rhode Island. The probation sys-
tenn was introduced into Massachusetts,
more than a dozen years ago, and it
has become an important feature of
the penal policy of that common
wealth. Proposed laws establishing
probation machinery based upon the
Massachusetts practice have been I'M

The conventional treatment Of con-
Victed drunkards in the United States
is retributive rather than reformative,
and it is not justified by the logic Of re-
suits, some students of the subject say.
Experience, they declare, has proved
with painful positiveness that the i'm
position of a fine or jail sentence does
not operate on the inebriate as q re-
generative agency and does not tend
to divert him from his anti-social tend
encies. The most hopeful experiments
they think, lie along the line of the ap-
plication Of the probation system to
first offenders and the commitment of
habitual drunkards to a special insti-
tuition under an indeterminate SEN
tence where they may be confined at
hard labor and under scientific treat
ment until their appetite for alcohol is
deadened and motives for sustained
good conduct are created.-N. Y. Sun.
