TRFApMlLL AS A PUNISHMENT.

The treadmill is still in vogue at many
English prisons. Within the walls is a
little hulding built of blue-gray stone,
standing somewhat apart from the main
structure in a corner of the exercise
ground and prison garden. on the choco-
late eolorcd door is painted in white let
tors the two words. wheel House." As
the door opens the duh, grinding sound
that We heard outside grows a little
louder and clearer. The door closes be-
hind US with the inevitable clash and
click of the returning bolt. The house is
an apartment some 30 feet long and Is
. feet wide. on the left hand side are the
wheels, four of them. in two tiers divided
by "A gallery running the whole length OF
the house and communicating with the
floor by staircase at the opposite end.
on the right hand side there is another,
lower and shorter gallery. on which
stands tine wardar in charge, The wheels
are separated by a section OF brick wall.
Each wheel is divided into compart-
monts. cutting off each prisoner from the
others. Tho object of this is to prevent
the prisoners from seeing and hearing one
another. although conversation in n low
voice. pitched to n different key to that
of the music of the wheel is perfectly
easy ami mtellgihle.

STRINGENT LAW NEEDED.

The presence in a New York court
room OF a hundred wives, many of
them accompanied by children, demand
ing warrants to compel their husbands
IN support them and their little ones.
IS a spectacle well calculated to arouse
anger and mitigation. While it is a
gratifying fact. pointed out by Magis-
tTate Pool, in whose court the women
appeared, that most of the defendants
are of foreign birth, the need for more
stringent marriage and divorce laws is
clearly emphasized
Under the New York statute. when
a husband tires of his wife. ne can
refuse to support her. Then she cites
him into court and he is ordered TO
pay her a certain sum weekly for her
support. The payment of this stipend
releases him from all further obliga-
ton. Should he refuse to pay he can
only be sent to the workhouse for a
brief time, leaving his dependent fam
fly to starve or subsist on the charity
OF neighbors and friends. Sometimes
they starve.
The law needs strengthening at once.
Legislation OF this character cannot.
however. be gone into In a haphazard
manner. But certainly it should be pos
sible to compel scoundrels who refuse
- support their families to suffer for
it The difficulty is that most OF the
suffering is endured by the family. 1t
Is no punishment to visit social os-
tracism on Nvife-deserter. a man
who is that low IS too low to be hurt
b. ostracism. Neither is il any pun
ishment TO put such men in prison.
They suffer no loss Of character or OF
anything else the ordinary man holds
dear by such incarceration. And while
they are in prison their families are
neglected. uncared for.
1t might be possible to compel proven
wife-deserters to work and to require
their employers to turn over each week
a stated sum for the support of the
family. 1t would not do TO trust the
erring husbands with the money. They
could not be depended upon to pay over
any part OF it on their obligation. The
ofsIy way would be to have the money
paid BY the employer into court OF
directly to the family. AS TO the cor

The SPORT OF KINGS.

Except in some specially favored
states, or specially unfavored states
according to your point of view. 1.-The
sport of kings." horse racing, is in
| its decadence. An Ohio track was
closed the other day because. in the
abeence Of pool selling, there was no
attendance. Governor Folk, by his
activity against the bookmakers at the
St. Louis track. caused a suspension
of "the sport of kings" in that city
Because there was no opportunity to
bet, to win or lose money. the public
refused to patronize the races.
It is a pretty generally recognized
fact that If you make it impossible
to gamble on horse race you destroy
public interest in the sport. Gambling
and horse racing are as inseparable as
whisky and intoxication. 1t is possible
TO be interested in a horse race with
out betting on it and it is possible to
drink whisky without becoming intoxf-
Gated. but the most devoted lovers of
the sport of kings" usually bet on the
OF whisky is far more often than not
at least an occasional drunkard
Some of the wealthiest men in the
United States are patrons OF the turf.
| They own great strings of splendid
racers. They offer large purses to be
raced for and they give prizes TO breed
ers of fast animals. These gentlemen
could well afford to be in horse racing
for the pure love of the sport; they
could afford to make large annual sac
rifices for their own pleasure and the
pleasure of the public. But do they? In
every account of great eastern race
meeting you find stories of the large
wagers made by wealthy patrons of the
| turf
Apparently they are just as eager TO
gamble-and win-as If they were de
pendent upon winning for their support.
Is the ten-dollar-a-week clerk who goes
out to the race tracks owned and oper-
a1ed by miuionaires to be blamed if.
lCred by visions of wealth. he bets his
money on "the sport of kings?'' Would
the clerk go if he knew he could not
bet his own money and, too often. the
money of his employer? Not a cent.
Recent events have sufficiently demon
| strated that.
Until the gambling feature has been
entirely eliminated from horse racing,
until the public can be induced to go
to see races as it goes to see baseball
Igames-fOr love of the sport-hOrse rae
ing has no just claim to the title, "the
sport of kings" Though there are
many honest, earnest men who like it
| for it's own sake, horse racing is more
/ the sport of the gambler, the tout, the
spendthrift, the bunco steerer than it
| is 1.-The sport of kings if by that title
| ii is meant that horse racing is the
highest type of sport.
