Outdoor WOrE.

OLLCCLOOT w O/E.
JUDGE SIMEON B. BALDWIN, of Connecticut,
made speech at the International Prison Congress-
which recently met at Buda Pesth in which he ear
nestly advocated outdoor work for prisoners There
several strong obectonal features to the employ
ment of prisoners at this kind of work. They could
not be guarded safely as they now are. In order
to insure the minimum danger against the prisoners
making dash for liberty they would have to be
heavily guarded and be compelled to carry ball and
chain. Judge Baldwin admits that the ball and
chain would be a necessity; but thinks that this
would have degrading effect on the prisoner, as
most of them had already passed the humiliating
stage. While this would be true in some cases. in
others the ball and chain would have tendency to
to lose what little self-respect there yet
remained.
Those who are interested in such employment
as Judge Baldwin mentions in his speech need only
visit the South to prove the merits or dement's of
such system. There they have outdoor work in all
its glory. As yet has pointed out any of it's
humane and correctional features But on the other
hand volumes have been written about it's brutalities
the wretchedness of it's prisoners, etc.
However, if the state had supreme control, con-
ditions might be different. Still, it is doubtful If
any kind of outdoor employment would prove as
satisfactory as the work being performed in
most Of the penitentiaries The cost of main
tenance etc. is always of the deciding factors in
accepting innovation of this kind. Those who
are thoroughly familiar with prison work have some
idea what it would cost to guard and house prisoners
at distance from the prison. They also have some
idea of the danger involved.

In GRANTING constitution to the popular de-
mand Of the people, the has lit torch that will
enlighten that country This will give the empire
new lease Of life. It will have tendency to unite
the several warning factions, and awaken in them
keen sense of the responsibility which constitution
confers upon them Instead of ignorance and in
tolerant persecution, education and humane methods
will prevail. Instead of bureaucracy honeycombed
by dishonest degenerates there will be new order
of things to which these favortes will be held to
strict accountability for their misdeeds will the
humble peasant. Instead of press censorship and
the right of free speech prohibited, there will be
act Of corruption mismanagement placed be-
yond the reach of censure: for there is nothing so
potent publicity to check abuses and unjust laws
In granting the people the right to govern them
selves the car was mindful of the fact that if he
waited much longer he would not have the privilege
of acting sponsor It is true that many restrictions
are embodied in the document which will make the
Russian people self governing. These provisos can
be eliminated in the course of time But at present
the constitution appears to the people like boat

Perseverance,.


HE WHO will not admit being defeated, pos
sesses quality of perseverance that is bound to
yield successful career Those who have become
great in the worlds history attribute their great
to their determination to master difficulties,
instead of allowing these obstacles to master them
The handiwork Of perseverance is written broadly
the history of nations. In FACT most Of the
stupendous undertakings that have startled the world
required great deal Of perseverance bUfore they
were pronounced success. The pyramids and the
Chinese wall were not, built in day, but the
result of years of toll.
Most of the inventions that are now in use, and
which appear simple in their mechanism, required
considerable perseverance before the final secret
disclosed. Edison spent thousands of dollars and
ransacked the vegetable world before he discovered
the necessary material for the incandescent lamp.
Indeed, without perseverance our inventors would
be sadly handicapped

the announcement is made by the New York Post
Graduate Hospital, Manhattan of the discovery of
vegetable fluid which has been accepted as positive
cure for consumption.
Results covering many months of exhaustive
and costly experiment show complete in every

treatment were sufferers from the disease, have been
discharged fit subjects for life insurance risk and
fifty Others still under observation in the hospital
are on the high road to recovery.
"The discovery is this: That compound of
