Massachusetts, is about to try a new

Massachusetts is about to try new
experiment in the industrial manage
ment of its convicts. Instead of en-
ploying them in manufacturing goods to
compete with the products of non-crim-
inal labor, it is proposed to establish
industrial camps and set the convicts to
reclaiming waste and worthless land, of
which the Bay State possesses enough
to keep them at work for generations.
The plan is tentative one, the first
camp having just been Established near
Rutland, but on the face of it the
scheme appears to possess two merits.
1t furnishes outdoor work for the con-
victs without subjechng them to the
humiliation of constant public obsery-
alton, as would be the case if they were
employed on the streets and highways,
and the work performed will be useful
work. II they are able to make two
blades Of grass grow where one or none
grew before there is authority for the
claim that they will be transformed from
malefactors into benefactors. The ex-
pertinent will be watched With good
deal Of interest for various reasons.

Far away in the mountains of the
Canadian Northwest, on the borders of
the Canadian national park, near Banff,
a bed of fine anthracite has been dis
covered which is from six to ten feet
thick. 1t has been traced about ten
miles. Such a deposit Of hard coal win
be OF much use to Canada in many
ways. So the development Of the Do
minion goes on steadily and Canadian
prospects are excellent. The more
Canada fiourishes the better for the
United States. Our neighbor to the
north cannot prosper without benefit to
this country.

tics gathered by the New York World

five in this country during 1903. Dur
ing 1902 the prize ring had seven vie
tins: in 1901 the number was eight;
and it was ten In 1900. For some OF
these deaths men have gone to prison.
but the great majority OF the men VINO
gave the death blow were not even AZ

that the sport of the prize ring Is
brutal, and deserves repression. 1t Is,
