ITALIAN GARDENS.

Perhaps nothing about italian gar
dens strikes us as so wonderful as the
arbor walks or oergolas where nature
seems so absolutely docile to the hand
of man. The desire is to make a dense
shade-a retreat where one can shut
out the hot sun. and to create this
trees of a great many different sorts

the fruit. WISH US the merest twigs

Along the terraces of the Villa Carlotta

GOOD CONDUCT AND PRISON
PARDONS

An ex-convict who has contributed
to the supply of prison literature that
has recently flooded this country naive
ly explains that the worst criminal in
variably makes the best prisoner. Such
an individual is not smarting from a
sense of i'll treatment at the hands of
the public; whether he will admit it or
not, he knows down in his heart that
the punishment which has been ne+ed
out to him is justified by the crime, and
he is shrewd enough to realize that it
rests with himself to make that pun
ishment lighter by his own good be-
havior. According to the ex-convict.
the model prisoner is the one most
likely to resume his career of crime
when he leaves the prison.
This, of course, is no argument
against the present system in vogue in
state prisons of rewarding good be-
havior with a shortened term. 1t facil-
itates prison discipline, and whether or
not it makes better man, morally, Of
the prisoner, it certainly does help to
develop in him the habit of obedience.
To cite it as one reason why an indi-
vidual should secure an unconditional
pardon, however, is to ascribe to prison
punishment a disciplinary character
merely; it is to demand a reward for
that which has already been rewarded
by means of prison favors and the
shortened terms.
Yet it happens that whenever an ap-
plication for a pardon is made, great
stress is laid on this one fact of good
behavior. Perhaps this is no more alb
surd than the other points On which
the average application is based, for
at least two-thirds of these appiica-
tons are undeserving of consideration.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1905-04-13

Because it is general. however, and the
other points are apt to be specific, it
permits of general Comment.
The public nowadays is too prone to
take a sentimental view of the man be-
hind prison bars. After he has served
a year or two of his term for some
grave offense. ii is apt to feel that the
fact that his wife is working hard for
his pardon or that his friends are
ready to help him make fresh start
justifies such a pardon. And very fire.
quently this sentiment influences those
in whose hands the pardoning power
is placed. 1t is a pernicious view TO
take and ii is a pernicious influence
that is exerted. Prisons are for pun
ishment as well as reform. In the
present stage of humanity's evolution
no country dare overlook this fact. And
while good conduct should be rewarded
inside the prison, it should never be
adduced as a good reason for setting
the law breaker free.

THE IMPENDING BATTLE

Experts who have been giving some
attention to the rival fleets of Russia
and Japan, which may engage in bat
tie at any hour now, are not so certain
that Togo will be able to cripple or de-
stroy Rojestvenskys ships We have
come to regard the Japanese as such
excellent masters of their fighting tools
that it has been assumed that nothing
IS necessary to the success of the jap
anese commander except an oppor-
tunlty to measure metal with the foe
The wish is perhaps father to this
thought, but it is not so certain that
the event will come off as the admirers
of the japanese prophesy.
Rojestvensky is in command of a
magnificent fleet. His ships are not
the crippled tubs that so many other
vessels of the Russian navy in the far
east turned out to be. In the Baltic
fleet, which is said to have been put in
the best possible fighting condition dur
ing the three months since leaving the
Baltic, there are at least five battle
Ships of the first class. They are heay-
lily armored and carry big guns They
are supported by big fleet of cruisers
and the advantage of weight is certain
