usually settles the matter, and makes
the petty thief a burglar. the brawlof

crime IN the first place for some de

Revolutionary Heroes.

At the dinner given on Wednesday
evening-by the Hon. William COnnen
there were present several Democrats,
who. although they had opposed the
seating of Mr.. Council in the House,
We're nevertheless as welcome guests of
the genial host as those who had fought
hard in his behalf.
Among those Democrats who attend
ed were the minority members of the
election committee which reported upon
the Connell-EIowen contest. Represen-
tative johnson of South Carolina was
one Of these. He had vigorously OPP
posed the seating. of Mr.. Cornell. but
that did not make any difference with
the member from Scranton, whose mag
nanimity and liberahty are well known.
Mr.. Johnson was called upon for a
speech, and under the circumstances
it was somewhat embarrassing for
the member from South Carolina. but
he made the most Of it, Incidental

who wished to make their eternal abode

in the congregation arose, except one
man in the rear who was IN a semi
drunken stupOr. He did not realize
fully what was going on until Mr.. Jones
asked all those who didn't care whether
they went to heaven or not to stand

arose and looked about. Seeing no one

Probation System in Use in France
With Good Effect.


In France. where they have re-
duced prison management to a science,
rs they have most other things. a plan
of probation for first offenders IS IN
operation with good results. it Is
suggested that such a plan might be
worth trying here.
The first offender, if it Is found that
his otfense against tie law was com
mued in circumstances which do MOI
show confirmed criminal nature, isuot
sent to prison. but allowed TO remain
at large ON probation. He Is required
10 report to the prison officials a!
stated times. and satisfy them that ha
Is at work and that his habits are rea-
sonably good. II. after a certain
time Of probation, he commits a sec
ond offense, he Is sent Ia prison and

It Should Be Much More Valuable Than
Il Is.


An indignant legislator said, in
comment on the Bristow report,
What are we here for, if 1ot TO get
all we can for our constituents e
There is reason IN this; the only trou-
bic is that the legislator in question
NAV not have been getting all he
could: if he he'd, he would not have
been hit by the report. Does anybody
suppose that if the use of a Congress
mans time in chasing around to the
departments, trying TO get special
favors for particular constituents,
were absolutely prohibited-if any
Congressman found doing such a
thing were liable TO a penitentiary
sentenee-the constituents as a whole
would be a bit the worse off? Tie
convention in question takes an un-
considerable amount Of a Congress
mans time, and many Congress
men, sufficiently secure in their places
to be indifferent to it. cease to bother
themselves. Is there nothing else that
Congressman can do for his people,
save to get jobs for political bench
men in order to keep his own fences
up?
Assuredly 1t was not the idea of the
trainers Of the Constitution that the
Congressman should put in his Jime
