Criminal Reform.

IF someone should get up and
say:
Your method of Furnishing
criminals is all wrong. Your
judges or juries guess at how
much punishment will Offset the
weight of the misdeed. Then you
send the poor wretches to a prison
where they are given every en-
enlargement to become worse than
they were before. Finally, you
let them out and your civilization
turns its back upon them because
they are jail BIRDS
If someone said this to US, you
know we would have to take it.
1t is true.
With all the enlightment we
boast, we are still in a hopeless
middle when it comes to crime,
its punishment, how to restrain it.
what to do about it, and how to
make good citizens out of those
who under our system have for
feited their right to personal liber-
ty.
New York now proposes to try
an experiment in citizen-making.
The measure that is to begin it
is called the Davis bill, which has
passed the legislature and has
been signed by Governor Hughes.
This bill practically abandons
the theory of disciplinary punish
ment in prison for rigidly fixed
terms and proposes to make pun
ishment dependent upon the sub
sequent conduct of the offender
himself.
It is marvellous forward step
in the treatment.
This bill provides for the crea-
ton of commission to extend the
jurisdiction of probation officers
and TO enforce the probation sys-
tenn in all parts of the state.
Other pending bills continue the
movement, until it is finally pro-
posed to extend the present parole
system until it includes practically
every offence upon the criminal
schedule except first degree MUIR
Ter.
It will say to every criminal, |
Here is your chance to become a
sood citizen
Such enactments are necessarily /
90 sweeping to be put into gene
al operation in a moment. There
5 too much of the dead timber of
be law code to cut away.
But we cannot help realizing
hat our present system of so many
ears for one crime, so many years
or another crime, minimum and
maximum sentences between which
he jury is left to guess; our sys-
EN- of making a man worse by his
punishment instead of better-we
aust realize that all this in its very
allure absurd, outrageous and
If, out of this germ of reform
hat is promised in New York,
here should eventually emerge
-reat system of criminal reform
nd criminal reclamation, it will
ave been one of the most tremen-
Gus advances in the annals of
aw. and our day will be recorded
S an era of real progress towards
he ideal of civilized government.

been perpetrated under the timber

states that timber land In n mineral

agriculture is not subject to location
under the said act They cannot be
lawfully located. but they are located
just the same.

THE SAlS OF EGYPT.
A Warning Runner Who Bellows
Like Bull rs He Goes.

Like q Bull rs He Goes.
The sails is a runner who keeps in
front Of n carriage and warns common
people out Of the way and who beats
them with n stick if they do not hurry
up about It,
1t is obvious that to do this he must
run quickly. Most men when they run
bend their bodies forward and keep
their mouths closed in order to save
their wind. The sails runs with his
shoulders thrown back and trumpet
ing like an enraged elephant. He holds
his long wand at his side like mus
ket and not trailing ~ his hand like a
walking stick. and he wears a soft
shirt Of white stun and a sleeveless
coat buried in gold lace.
He is a perfect ideal of color and
movement, and as he runs he bellows
like a bull or roars as you have heard
a lion roar at feeding times in a
menaCerie.
There are sometimes two of them
running abreast, dressed exactly alike
and with the upper part Of their bodies
as rigid as the wand pressed against
their sides and with the ends of their
scarf and the long tassel streaming
out behind.
AS they yell and below donkeys and
carriages and people scramble out of
their way until the carriage they pre-
cede has rolled rapidly by. Only
princesses Of the royal harem and con.
suls general and the heads of the army
of occupation ard the Egyptian army
are permitted two sais; other people
may have one.

every other timbered state, and will
be sustained by those in authority, as
they have already been sustained by
the United States land office and the
secretary of the interior.
In the state of Oregon the people
were powerless. Her congressman
and senator, also Binger Hermann Of
the interior department, who was an
eX-congressman from Oregon, land Of
ficials and others in authority, placed
where they were to protect the inter-
ests of the people. were connected with
all the timber frauds in that state,
and the people were robbed of their
rightful heritage. Those IA authority
were the biggest thieves of the de-
lectable bunch. VIII not history re-
peat itself in Idaho? President Roos-
evelt being fully cognizant of the
frauds perpetrated, and of the heart
less monopoles created thereby, rec
commended repeal of the timber and
stone act. 1t was not repealed by act
of congress, but he saw another way
to repeal It, and that was by extension
of old forest reserves and the creation
of new ones.
There is a fear that the forestry
bureau will come under the control
OF these big lumber monopolies, but
II it should, the hope is left that con-
gress might take the administration
of these reserves out of the hands of
said bureau and govern them by laws
beneficial to the people. With our
timber land in the hands of monopo-.
lies there will be no hope for justice
from any source, and but for these
reserves the monopoly would be COM
plete.

Residents of New Orleans and north

city are familiar with the interesting
and gracious custom of small trades

make to their customers as sort of
inducement to call again. The custom
is so firmly established that the people
are In the habit of waiting for their
little present after they have made
their purchases, and children ask for
1t. Mrs. Hort in her book "The Garden
