He Stopped Alarm Clock

Patrons of an uptown hotel were
startled early in the morning Of day
last week by fusilade of pistol shots,
the sound of breaking glass and the
crashing of some heavy object as it
struck the floor. The proprietor was
notified, and, followed by several
clerks and a number Of men from the
Office. he went to the door of the room
where the noise had occurred. They
could still hear a voice swearing vol
ubly, and the odor of smoke filtered
through the cracks Of the door. Re
ceiving no immediate answer to his
knock, the proprietor Of the hotel put
his shoulder to the door and, aided by
those who followed, burst into the
room.

Land for Worlds Felons

What is the logic of keeping Grim
inals at the public expense? Why
should the community give a man free
board and lodging for his life because
he has broken the law? asks the San
Francisco Bulletin. If man is unfit
to be at large in society, then, if self
preservation is the first law OF nature,
society has the right to eliminate him.
This it does foolishly, at present, by
locking him up for term of years or
life. In few cases society kills the
criminal, and thus gets rid of him ir-
reyocably and cheaply; but this is
hard on the criminal who may not be
incorrigible. Hence capital punish
ment would be too severe for crimes
less than the most heinous.
The maintenance of prisons, how
ever, is a heavy drain upon the tax
payers. Moreover. prisons are not re-
formatories, but rather colleges for
education in the criminal arts and for
the formation of the professional Grim
inal character. Therefore, they are
menaces as well as burdens to So
ciety.
