prison reform in the United States
four great organizations have done
much to hasten progress: The Phil
adelphia Society for Alternating the
Miseries At Public Prisons, formed in
lit; the Boston Prison Discipline So
ciety, organized in 1924: the Prison
Association of New York; the Ma.
tional Prison Association of America
And, as DR.. Wines says, yeoman serv-
ice has been rendered by individuals.
Barrows, in summing up the most
important Indications of progress in
penology in the past century, gives
the following points: ~ The higher
standard of prison construction and
administration; (2) the improved
personnel in prison management; ca
the recognition of labor as a dis
ciplinary and reformatory agent; (4)
substitution of productive for unpro-
ductive labor, and to a small degree
for unrequited labor; 80 an improve
ment in prison dietaries: (6) newer
and better systems of classification:
CD the substitution of a reformatsry
for retributory system; 81 prota-
ton or conditional release for first
offenders, with friendly surveillance:
(9) the parole system; Coy the Ber-
tillon system for Identification Of
prisoners; CID the new attention
given to the study of the criminal.
his environment and history; (12)
of accidental from habitual
criminals; (13) the abandonment of
transportation; (14) the humane
treatment of the criminal insane:
(15) the new emphasis laid upon pre-
ventive instead of punitive, or mere
ly corrective, measures.

one-time prison cells, where. 70 feet
below the surface, manacled prisoners
were crowded at night; their feet
fastened with heavy iron bars, chains
about their necks attached to beams
above. The caves reeked with filth;
contagious fevers were incessant. The
keeper was allowed to punish by fog
ging, putting on shackles and letters,
the treadmill, solitary confinement
and putting in the stocks, double and
treble sets Of irons, hanging by the
heels, and other methods that seem
far removed from criminalist views
of the present.

The story Of a Love AFFAIR, = Dinner
speech and DneI.
He and her father were great friends.
As only four persons figure in this
story ii IL unnecessary 70 mention
names. He had rival for her affec
lions, and her father could never under
! stand why she preferred the rival TO
him. One day when he sat on the porch
chatting with her father she called him
into the parlor and told him frankly
that she had promised TO marry his
rival. He did not plead or beg He
kissed her hand with a sort Of rever-
ence and then returned to his seat on
the porch and renewed the CONVERSE
ton with her father. In those few mo-
ments everything seemed to have
changed for lsiin The sun did not
shine az brightly; the birds did not
sing as they did before. Even the grass
and trees seemed scar aud dead lie
had expected what he had just heard,
but that did not seem TO abate the
shock He was distrait and moody.
Her father saw this and asked him thea
cause. He blurted out the whole miser-
able truth. Her father continued to
polish his glasses carefully and then
said:
'Wimmen folks is mighty onsartin
critters" Her father said nothing
more. but nothing would change her
mind Gradually 1t came to be gener-
ally known that he had been rejected
and that his rival was the fortunate
wooer. They, he and his rival, were
alumni OF the same college. He was
down for speech at the alumni din
ner, A month before he had attended
her wedding. No one ever heard him
complain. though all knew how he suf-
fered. He was looked upon as the ora
tor OF his class. and d great speech was
expected. When lie arose Il sinister
glitter could be seen In his eye. He be-
gan to speak slowly. He took as his
text Acquired Tastes" He spoke at
length. Finally he said:

(Continued from Page 1.D aCter, he is able to rise level to the Leed of the moment, he may so con- bine and direct the actions of the many under him as to make their joint ef- fort irresistible. The first duty Of q leader, civil or military, is to Ieaf; and he must lead well. Exactly as the people must demand the highest grale Of integrity and efficiency from their leaders in civil affairs, so in military affairs they must insist upon every officer deyoting all the best that there IS In him 10 fitting himself ir the du- ties of his profession, to caring for and drilling and training those under him, so that alike in point of personnel and in point of material the Army and Navy of the United States may reach as high point of perfection as is humanely possible. This is the work that only the leaders an do; and if they shirk it their shame is un- speakable.
 Nevertheless it remains true tbat no leader can accomplish very much unless he has the right kind If men to lead. Unless the enlisted man has the right stuff in him it stands to reason that no officer can get it out of him, because it is not there to cet cut. So in civil life, if all our lead CTS were Washingtons and LincoIns they could, nevertheless, make TO per manent improvement in our ,itizen- ship unless the average citizen had in him the capacity for such improve ment- In the last analysis it is the man behind the ballot who counts most in civil life, just as ii is the man behind the gun who counts most in military life
 we can not too highly honor the memory of the leaders in the evil war-of Grant and Lee, Of sherman and Johnston, of Stonewall Jackson and Sheridan, of Farragut and of the captains who fought under and against him. But after alllthe man upon whom the chief credit must rest was the plain man in the ranks, the man in hlIe or in gray who went in to see the war through, and who did see it through.

COSTELLO GETS THE WINDSOR
Long Drawn Out Litigation in Tucson
 Comes to End.

The Windsor Hotel property at the corner of Congress and Church streets returned yesterday afternoon to Martin Costello on foreclosure proceedings against A. R. English. who was the oN neT of the hostelry for three years. The consideration was nearly S14,000.
 In 1903 English bought the property paying 5000 cash and mortgaging the place for the balance-SI0, 900. The interest remained unpaid until yester- day reaching an aggregate of some tbIng over s13.500.
 The property as it returns to Cos tello is still greatly encountered, t;-ere being an assessment on Wedge, No. 2 of S12,500 and interest on it. The matter is at present in the hauds of the supreme court on an appeal. Be sides there is considerable amount due for city and county taxes meaning a total investment of s3o,000.
 The property is one of the most ( e- 3lrable in Tucson. On Congress st eeU il extends south half a block and on Church it goes nearly to the Nave Block, distance of over one hundred feet. Costello will probably remove the Windsor Hotel and erect mod ern up-to-date business block. -As it stands the property is worth from S35,000 to s40,000.
