in which we live is what is called the sweat box.
This mode Of exacting confessions has existed for
centuries. AS auxiliary to the department for the
apprehending of criminals it has been of inestimabe
value. The so-caled sweat-box is resorted to in all
countries. It has been the means of establishing
clews, solving mysterious crimes, evolving facts from
nebulous theories and furnishing an unassailabe
defense for the prosecution In this respect need
only recall the frequency in which it is resorted to in
gaining tangible evidence.
The sweat-box has many champions; and there
also arrayed against it many able opponents The
latter composed mostly of men the bench and at
the bar. Undoubtedly the sweat-box has it's short
comings. These may outweigh it's virtues to a
considerable degree. When igh-minded men occu-
plying exalted positions on the bench denounce the
sweatbox being pernicous their opinions deserve
consideration While it may be true that when un-
due force is used the sweat box has proven valuable
adjunct to the average police department. it may also
be true that it propagates the numerous evils which
the judiciary SO frequently complains Of The sys-
tenn is deeply rooted and many decades will have
passed before it is abolished.

Cheating Justice.

OIOCCOUO|CS
The proper ministration of justice is one of the
most perplexing problems Of the day, and the OBJ
stacles to be overcome to be assuming greater
and greater proportions The more stringent the
laws the conniving the part those who deem
it their mission to disregard and evade them in their
race for gold Practitioners of law fully versed
whichever side their counsel is sought and techn-
caities together with high social and political stand
ing aid materially in generating the transgressor.
Every law of the land is supposedly moral
basis The question then arises Is it less of in
fringement on morality if restitution is made where
a crime has been committed than If such amends had
not been made? Any fair-minded person will an
swer in the negative. It is obvious that the motive
was to defraud but untimely detection suggests
restitution and whitewash that only social and
political influence can afford
Such methods are extremely demoraizing. If
they to be tolerated. the work being done in the
prevention of crime will have been done in vain
Grimes of petty nature not punished merely be-
cause Of the immediate damage inflicted but to nip
in the bud, as it were practice that is decidedly
dangerous to the general welfare. Why then, should
not restitution directly imply plea Of "guilty?"

II COMING Man.

To-Day there is in America young man who is
being instructed to the management of one of
the largest and richest concerns in the world. This
young man is John D. Rockefeller Jr. Speculation
is rife to whether he possesses the ability to
cessfully conduct the properties which he will even
tualy inherit from his father This young man has
a turbulent future before him. Will he be able to
conduct the business in the same wise, humane and
honest way his father conducted it? Will he show
the same reverent liberation for competitors? Will
he recognize the rights of others and display the
same broad-minded, and charitable impulse toward
those who engaged in the occupation Of discover
ing and selling refined oil? Will he attempt to walk
in his fathers footsteps and WELD the scepter as
firmly as his father does today?
It must be remembered that this young man has
received good religious training. This must be
taken into consideration to what he might do on
ascending the throne. He may, like Diogenes, grasp
lantern and go over the books looking for honest
principles Of course this is mere conjecture No
doubt he has been weighed and fufls every qualif-
cation.

In THIS materialistic age when Individual inter-

have gotten into the habit of continually wishing for
the time to pass. Sometimes people wish for the
time to pass for trivial reasons and again they desire
time annihilated because of momentous issues i'm

Being impotent to fathom the future they anxiousy
await the approaching day. The intervening time
they look upon as moments wasted
Prisoners more than any other class, are wishing
that time would move more swiftly. With them the
question of environment becomes suggestive factor
in accelerating time. No doubt many Of them would
wish year two of their life to pass within mo-
ment's notice without the least regret that such
wish would shorten their life Perhaps prisoners are
more justified than others in wishing away the
impossible
People do not wish on certain occasions that time
would take wings and fly because life has become
burden. This wish is usually made in thoughtless
and without heed to the consequences if such
wishes were granted We wish for this that, and the
other thing continually. While are wishing

The mature timber on the nationa

This announcement is in line with the
declared purpose of the department OF
agriculture to develop the natural for,

grown on any forest reserve, EXCEPT
those in Idaho and the Black Hills re.

The effect of this change in the law
and the declared policy of the depart.
ment of agriculture is that the timber
on the reserves may now be cut and
disposed of to the highest bidder. On
many of the reserves there are great
quantities of mature timber, and on
some of them the facilities for getting

charge of the administration Of the re,
serves, is anxious to begin the cutting
of this mature timber as soon as pos,
sihle, and it is prepared to consider of.
fers from lumbermcn who wish to un.
dertake such operations.
This announcement does not mean
that the forest reserves are to be de.
vastated under authority of the gov
eminent. On the contrary, the dis
tinct and definite purpose of the for
est service is to improve the reserves
by utilizing the material now fit for
lumber. In doing so it will also pro
vide for the reproduction of the forest
and the restocking of those areas IN
which forest conditions are defective.
Work Of this kind has been successful
ly carried on for some years in the
Black Hills forest reserve, and has
been begun with great promise of sue
cess on the lands OF the Chippewa In
dams, in northern Minnesota, from
which it is proposed to create another
national reserve.
The public in general and lumber
men in particular, will be interested to
know that in this last case the restric-
lions imposed by the forester have in
no way hampered the numbering oper-
atoms. Timber sold at public sale.
