bare decision 10 make the trip, the
President has reached practically no

accompanied on The journey by See

the Panama canal commission, but
even this has not been determined

Wants to See For Himself.

The President long has desired per
sonally to inspect the route Of the
canal and to make himself personally
familiar with the great undertaking
of constructing the waterway. The
decision announced today, that he
will visit the American zone On the
lsthmus Of Panama, was not reached
hastily but has been under considera-
ton for q considerable time. 1t is
the expectation that the President
will be able to spend at least week
on the canal zone, and in that time
he will familiarize himself with the
situation by a study of it at close
range. He believes personal visit
to the canal zone will enable him to
gather information that will be of
immense advantage not only to the
canal work itself, but to Congress and
TO the American people. Above all,
it will enable him to handle with an
absolute knowledge of the situation
She great problems which will CON
stantly be arising in connection with
the work OF canal construction and
administration.

Every one is familiar with the i'm
step lively, pleasev that you shall
hurry as you get into the car. Most
people resent this peremptory order
and feel bit ruffied as the car starts
forward with the customary jerk, and
they either fall abjectly into seat or
clutch with frantic haste the first con-
venient strap.
A friend of mine coming from a
quiet inland city to a busting seaport
town heard the 'Step lively" of the
car conductor with some surprise. For
tunately for herself she took her seat
without losing her balance; then, lift
ing her benignant face, framed in the
soft dove colored Quaker bonnet, she
gazed at the brusque young man who
came to take her fare. what is thy

Fix The Chimney.

The careful householder, whether
living in town or country, will
make a thorough inspection of the
f1ues and chimneys of the house
before stoves and furnaces are
started tull blast for the winter
months. The doing of this now
and making necessary repairs in
the way of entirely new chimneys
or cementing of old ones will
prevent the family's being routed
out of warm beds by an alarm of
fire some night during the next few
months when the thermometer is
below zero. A serious feature of
fires originating in the above man
ner is that they are as a rule in
inaccessible places and get under
good Roadway before they are dis
covered and water can be got on
them. Fix chimneys and save a
burnout.-Ex.

Lemaitre Looked Old at Thirty-nve


Jules Lemaitre was of middle height,
with bent shoulders, head carried for
ward, near sighted and awkward. The
evening dress hung ungracefully, as
though it's pockets were stuffed with
books and papers. No one would have
taken him for anything but what he
was-a man of study, perhaps pro-
fessor. He stumbled over those awful
stools or cushions the ouvreuses put
under ones feet and murmured, "Par-
don, madame; pardon" as he strove to
gain his seat. And people whispered,
''Lemaitre; Jules Lemaitre." In those
days he was about thirty-five and look
ed almost, fifty. His hair, inclined to
curl, early turned gray, then white,
leaving him little bald. This added
to the height of his forehead and made
the rather insignificant features appear
a little lacking in space, as though the
face had been of India rubber and
pressed too hard. The expression, the
CLINT Of the blue eyes, soon forced one
to forget his rather unsatisfactory ply
sique. When he spoke he let his words
drop with a sort of careless grace, with
a little hesitation too. The voice was
gentle and rather high pitched. When
he lectured that soft voice swelled and
carried to the very extremity Of a
large theater and all hesitation disap-
peared.-Mme. Charles Bigot in Critic.

county can not get enough rounded
up at time to justify the employment
of guard over them, let several coun-
ties join together and put them at
work, divide the cost and the work
in proportion to the convicts employed
1t is argued that they can not be
made to work Let the food be grad
uated according to the work, and there
would be a fair days. work done by
every one.
Let the penalty be doubled in the
event one escapes, and If he does get
away the county will be rid of dan
gerous man, and the taxpayers reliev-
ed OF the burden of feeding the scoun-
drel in Jail.
The road taxes could be reduced be-
cause of the work done, and the taxes
necessary to support the Jail also re-
duced, SO that the public would be de-
cidedly benefited by the operation.
Prison reformists say this is cruel
and inhuman. Granted that it is. Is
it more cruel, more inhuman or more
damnable than the selling of poisoned
drink to boys and men? Did the GRIM
inal have a thought of the feelings of
his victims when he sold them his
stuff? Did he care how much the pub
lie was outraged by his acts? Not
much. He is not of that kind of stuff.
Does the prison experience of viola
tors of the temperance law ever re-
form. So far there have been no noted
evangelists from their ranks.
Does he ever quit the business? He
may-when he is dead.
Has any of them ever given penny
to a benevolent or charitable cause?
There is no record of such.
Why, then, should such a class not
be made to return something to the
people for the damnation they bring?
Why should they be allowed to wrong
the public, cause the taxpayers to eX-
pend money to convict them and feed
| them afterwards. and not return some
| thing for it?
There is law on the statute books
| providing for this, but it is weak in
many features and needs revising SO
that there could be no doubt of it's in
tent and application.
Then if it were rigidly enforced,
there would soon be less number OF
that class of criminals under discus
sion, and the fair name of the state
would be rid of a stigma it should not
possess.

Louis James.

Plays may come and plays may go,
but, like Tennyson's brook, Virgin.
ius," goes on forever. 1t is now IS
years since this capital play was first
produced and while the vaciliating
tastes of the public. have changed
many times in that period, like the
rock of Gibralter, it has stood the test,
and come out Of the ordeal trium-
plant, for aside from Shakespeare,
"Virginius" is today the best Roman
tragedy before the public either in
literature or the drama, hence the rea-
= son for its continuous success and
popularity.
With such a vehicle, combined with
his own popularity and historic merit,
there is little wonder at the enormous
success that has rewarded this big re-
vival of "virginius," by that distin-
guished actor and scholar, Louis
James. No happier combination could
be consumated than having Mr.. James
play "Verginius," for he is "Virginius"
in looks and historic attainment. Mr..
James and his company will be at the
Metropolitan Wednesday evening.

A clear. concise and brief state
ment of the primary election law of
this state has been prepared by Alfred
Blaisdell, an attorney of Minot. It
strips the law of the legal verb
iage, so essential to court interpreter
ton, and yet so confusing to the lay
mind, and gives the kernel without the
hull. Yet nothing has been omitted in
the summing that is necessary to a full
understanding of every feature of the
law, 1t is, however, a popular rather
than a professional compilation, and
will do much to make the workings of
the law clear to the voters of the state

LIT THE CULPRITS WORK.

1t is possible that the matter of
prison reform has been carried-not
too far-but in the wrong direction.
Wrong doing is largely matter Of
human nature. The eradication of
crime can only be made so fast as
human nature is changed.
The prisons by becoming reforma-
tory rather than penal have done a
great work with those who have be-
come criminals because of weakness or
passion, and in whom the spark of
seif-respect has not entirely eXtin-
guished. AS 4 result of this work
men have stepped from prison walls
at the expiration of their terms better
citizens than they were when they
passed in the inswinging portals. They
have been enabled to look at stone of
heavier rather than the sloughs of
earth.
The mistake has been that over zeal
has carried the advocates of the meth
DDS by which these things have been
accomplished, too far. They have at
tempted to use all criminals alike, to
apply the same methods of reform to
all, and expect the same results from
all.
North Dakota is infested with band
of disreputable law-breakers that can
never be reformed by the methods of
persuasion. They are men usually
without character and devoid of self
respect.
They engage in a business made
crime by law. and because of the lack
of moral possibilities, traffic with boys
whose characters are developing, with
the same reckless regard that they
would with the bloated topper.
These ticket scalpers for the devil
can not be reformed with bouquets and
hymns books. Neither can they be
turned into good citizens by feeding
them in the county Jail at the expense
Of the tax payers.
60 soon as the sentence Of boarding
or the public is expired they will re-
tnrn to the same infamous business
- before.
