cause Hasn't given much employment
to fighting men Of late. Ireland has
been winning victories, but they have
been victories Of peace. The nearest
approach to old-time trouble he has
had recently was in 1901, when the
authorities seized his issue of the Irish
People of May 8 because it described
the King as an "old bald-headed roue,
lover Of every woman of fair features
who has appeared in English society
for forty years, including titled DANES
and yet untitled actresses-the English

vorce case, the polluted hero of one of
the most malodorous scenes in Zola's

Dillon made this episode "matter Of
urgent public Importance" in the
House, and few feathers flew, but it
was tame sport.

Treatment of Ex.convicts.

Rev. Alloys NJ. Fish, FIR. M. c., moral
instructor for Catholics in New Jer-
sey State Prison and chairman COM
mittee on discharged prisoners, Ma
tional Prison association, offers the
following interesting suggestions as to
what might be done with discharged
convicts:
If more charitable and more Just
sentiment could be universally call
ed into being, an unshakable founda-
ton would be laid for practical efforts.
The indeterminate sentence with the
prospect of provisional release from
Imprisonment is, in my opinion, thus
far the nearest approach to a solution
of the problem. If the true spirit Of
this legal enactment be followed, if
those entrusted with the execution of
it's provisions be wise and impartial
if in truth the man in prison can earn
his release, and if every convict, indie
pendently Of his past, can be impelled
by the same incentive, then l believe
that the cornerstone of solid reforma-
ton will be laid. But the parole with
out after-care is not complete. Simply
to release man from prison even
on his merits while there is not
enough. He needs associates and
friends; he cannot stand alone--no
man can. Some of our states provide
vaguely for the care Of a parolcd man,
by requiring employment before re-
leasing him, and by establishing a
somewhat indefinite supervision over
him or by demanding stated reports
from him. These arrangements are
often very crudely planned and very
perfunctorily carried out, but with
all it's shortcomings, the system of re-
lease on parole, especially when it is
sequel to an indeterminate sentence,
is highly priced wherever it is in ex-
istence and the results achieved serve
as arguments that man from prison
can be rehabilitated. In regard to
after-treatDlent of prisoners, whether
paroled or not, Switzerland serves as
an admirable model Switzerland has
fourteen societies for discharged con-
victs, with central committee in the
chief city of each canton. and having
district committees pr corresponding

members that carry the spirit O

pllll;lntllfOpy INTO tne smallest Dor
ough. The extension of aid to tho
discharged prisoner is made not
through money, but through work and
personal sympathy, counsel and inter-
est. The prisoner can be brought into
touch with these workers, before ever
he has left the prison. The committee
seek for him a patron, charitable and
unsclfish man or woman chosen to be
friend, guide and counselor to the dis
charged convict. 10 this patron is
committed the work of directing the
prisoner in the right way, of follow
ing his career until he is rehabilitated.
Thus direct personal influence has IN
immense scope. The patron either
reconciles the prisoner to his family
and friends or seeks a place Of en-
ployment and endeavors to create
new environment for his protege.
These societies have diffused among
the public more just ideas in regard
to liberated prisoners and made the
people understand that it is for their
interest to associate in this work.
Employers willingly admit such men,
for there is the surveillance Of the
patron, and further the societies guar
antee to them the reimbursement Of
depredatiOns that the ex-prisoner
might infict on the employers. Re-
markable to relate, in twenty-three
years the societies have had no ex-
penditures on this account. Recidiv-
ism is remarkably rare. In the canton
of Neuchatel, statistics for three con-
secutive years show that the highest
number of rcconvictions in one year
was fifteen out of 800, or about per
cent. Why could we not in our own
country establish ourselves on similar
lines? Surely philanthropy, the love
of our fellows, is not rare among us.
The many organizations that exist
throughout the land for the ameliora-
tion of the distressed and the defective
bear testimony that charity is not
dead, but lives n vigorous life. Why
can there not be more organizations
for the benefit Of the delinquent? We
are not yet sufficiently aroused to the
Importance of this matter. Great
strides are being made in advance in
preventive and reformatory work ;
why shall not more be done on lines of
rehabilitation? Can we not find men
and women to join in the work of
helping the eX-convict? Have we not
many men and women of means, de-
votedness and leisure that could take
up patronage of men and women from
state prison and penitentiary?
ask the question, make the ap-
peal. Who will answer?

in Clonmel Jail, the mountain was


tor called on O'Brien five days after
he began to defy his keepers and offer
ed him special diet. Next day they
gave him his own clothes and put him
in the infirmary. O'Brien has always
contended that by his stubborn resist
ance he forced the Government to rec
onize the difference between po-
litical prisoner and a felon. O'Brien
and John Dillon were arrested the
next year, 1890, for advising the ten
ants of the Smith-Barry estate in Tip
perary not to pay their rent. Ireland
had felt the pinch of hunger, crops had
failed, and the two prisoners said that
all they had done was to tell the ten
ants to buy food before they paid
rent. Smith-Barry was one of the
great landlords. He owned all Tip
perary. His demand for rent in hard
times suggested to O'Brien one of the
schemes for harassing landlords of
which his brain was prolific. If Tip
perary demands it's rent, said he, We'll
move out and found New Tipperary.
And they did. Near the old town the
evicted folks set up colony of pine
huts with corrugated iron roofs. 1t
wasn't beautiful, but it answered the
purpose. O'Brien and Dillon were
members Of a committee appointed to
come to America to collect funds
again, and they had a pretty good
show Of reason on their side when
they asserted that the purpose of their
arrest in Tipperary was to keep them
at home. Anyhow, they left Tipperary
by the dark of the moon on Oct. 10,
while their trial was in progress, and
came over here. They went back
afterward to serve their sentences.
The wretched Parnell-O' O'Shea scandal
came to a climax soon after the fight
Of O'Brien and Dillon, and the Nation
alist party was disrupted. O'Brien
had done more than his share of the
fighting in Ireland. AS the editor of
United Ireland and Parnelrs lieuten-
ant on the actual battle-ground he had
been a storm center for years. He was
a beautiful scrapper in Parliament,
too, and an unexcelled maker of mis-
chief for his enemies. 1t was dull
day when he and T. P. O'Connor and
other ingenious young men were not
laying traps and pitfalls for the party
in power. O'Brien and T. P. in one of
their walks through London discovered
an ancient sandwich man with a claim
against the Government. They made
his grievance their own. One of the
rules Of the House Of Commons says
that member may rise at any time
and move the adjournment of the
House in order to call attention to a
matter of urgent public Importance
If forty members rise at such call
then the business in hand must be
dropped and the matter of urgent
public Importance must be heard and
debated. The sandwich man became
a matter Of urgent public import
ance." Whenever the Government
particularly wanted to do something
O'Brien and T. P. would rise and forty
more Irishmen would back them up,
and the old gentleman's claim would
have to be discussed. That was only

pirant for public favor is a native

faithful, fearless official.
