| reforms to be made in the treatment of ! criminals by society organized in it's courts and prisons and reformatories, but I cannot deal with them here. In the address already referred to given by Judge Feagin, several suggestions are made which summarize splendidly the present obligation of organized society to the prisoner and criminal: Q Quicken the public conscience for the amelioration of social and economic condi- tions.
 @ Remedied legislation in providing juvenile courts, detention homes and schools, probation system or suspension of sentence for first offenders in misde- meanors, and the indeterminate sentence for felons and incorrigible criminals. (9 Efficient, intelligent and humane of ficials for the proper enforcement of these laws.
 (D The substitution of salaries for fees for officials who deal with offenders. 5. Reliance upon formative methods rather than adherence to oppressive and retributive ideals of justice.
 G. A thorough revision of our legal pro- visions and methods of administration, so as to relieve the state of the odium of participation in the creation of crlm- inals.
 Our Duty as Christians.
 There is further motive and oblga- ton which all who profess to follow Jesus must feel. The criminal is one of those little ones" for whom Christ died Our Master came to save that which was lost In our present state of society no one is so wholly and surely lost as the man who transgresses the laws of the state and is punished for it in prison or penitentiary. He Is not only moral defective in his struggle with sin. but the burden of public suspicion and aver sion rest upon him after his liberation wherever his criminality is known.
 What yearning pity then should fill our hearts for the unfortunates who have offended the law and have so little hope or resource of redemption Our Savior forgavc the thief on the cross. His love for the outcast, the pariah of society, drew the publicans and sinners to his side. Is the disciple better than his Lord? Can we be justified if we pass by on the other side of our unfortunate or crim- inal brother?
 Part of the Church.
 There is much the church might do. By providing good literature to jails and prisons by conducting religious services among the prisoners, by agitating for needed reforms and above all, by provid- ing for the liberated prisoner the oppor- tunity to earn an honest livelihood and recover his self-respect and the respect of his fellow man.
 What Miss Booth is doing in New York should be done in every city and state in the union With better prisons fairer laws and more kindly methods of dealing with offenders and the cooperation of the churches in the effort to reform the criminal himself and give him a fair chance in the world, the criminal records of our land would be lowered more in a decade than in all the past history of penal legislation and reforms.
 Let us take as our watchword-"Th love of Christ constraineth me-" Then we will count no sacrifice too great to save the least O. these for whom he died.

 Training in Schools.
SlO,0OO,0OO IS EXPENDED
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN.

There is more truth than poetry in the assertion that the devil finds work for idle hands Humanity is born to be ac- tive, and when the activities are not trained in some definite direction they will devote themselves to whatever lies nearest. Because of this tendncy jaIls have been filled, reform schools have come into use, and millions of dollars are being used every year in the sup port of police courts and penal institu- tlons Incompetent and untrained hands have spoiled factory work, have blum dered over agricultural fields, have tried dozens of avenues of earning a liveli- hood, and. finding defeat have turned to vagabondage and crime. The cry for skilled hands in every walk of life is stronger today than ever before, and with belated recognition of the fact the ns- tens are trying to make amends for long neglect.
 The United States was among the slow est to take definite steps toward train ing the hands and brain for specific uses. Yet we have had the wisdom and the ex- ample of all those who have gone before by which to profit. Sir William Petty in 16i7 advocated industrial training in Eng land Comonius believed in it. Madame de Mantenon wrote in defense of it, Locke and Rousseau urged it's ncorpora- ton in the educational systems of their day Thomas Jefferson recommended the introduction of manual training in the University of Virginia, and Benjamin Franklin did not fail to include it in his plans for an academy in Philadelphia.
 Our adoption of manual training in public schools Is traced to Russia, the nation of Europe whose percentage of. population in common schools is lowest of all. At the United States Centennial exposition in 1876 an exhibit was sent by the Strok and the director of the Imp al school of Mos COW made their work.

THE FEEDING OF

cultural College.

In general we may say the horses
have their regular and largest supply
of water previous to feeding, and
it may also be well to supply linn

tie horses come to the stable, heated
and fatigued, a little fresh wate;,
even cold, may be given with bene.

ed, but a large quantity should never
be supplied at one time. On jour-
neys, water should be given every
few miles.
The small size Of the stomach Of
the horse makes long fasting dan
gerous. While 1t is a fact that horses
employed by some establishments go
from daylight. until dark without
food, it seems that where possible
these fasts should be broken by q
small feed Of grain at midday:
Overlooking with hay is the source
Of long list Of ills with the horse.
Through carelessness, the managers
are often kept filed with hay, and
because Of his long hours Of idleness
in the stable, the horse falls into the
habit of gorging himself with the
provender. There is waste of hay in
such cases. There should be a def
mite allowance of hay for the horse
at each feeding time, and this should
always fall short of what would be
consumed. Next to failure to pro
vide abundant and systematic exercise
the common fault in horse manage
ment, where animals are used fol
pleasure, is that OF overfeeding with
hay. ~ !.

Explains Purpose Of Club.

In an editorial last week, the
Rigby star explains some OF the
purposes Of the Eastern Idaho
Press Club in this wise:
Before the club was organized
the members Of the press had but
little acquaintance with each ether,
outside Of. their respective count
les, and but few were acquainted
with the surroundings other than
their own neighborhoods. Organ.
ization has changed this state of
affairs materially, and those who
have taken an interest in the club
are now, not only acquainted per-
sonally with the members of their
profession throughout southeast
ern Idaho, but they are also &C
quainted with territorial surround
ings and are thereby enabled to
speak intelligently Of matters and
things occurring from time to time
beyond the confines Of their own
counties. The organization Of
the Eastern Idaho Press club has
resulted in making the concern OF
one, the concern Of all, not only
from q business standpoint ba,
from the welfare of the entire ter
ritory covered by the club: The
individual or firm who SHES a
rock a. any particular section. OF
the clubs territory; who belittles
any section to the detriment OF
the growth of that section, be il
country or town, brings down the
wrath of the press members o.
the territory upon his or theil
head. In short, the aim and OBJ
ject of the club is to honestly ano
intelligently boost, and the knock
er will ever find cold comfort il
pursuing his chosen calling sc
long as the Eastern Idaho Press
club remains intact.

70 Editors and Teachers

Articles elsewhere in this issue
emphasize the advantages to pub
fishers and the public, of cooper
alton among the newspapers OF
the ten eastern counties of the
state, and the advantages to the
cause Of education. Of cooperation
Of teachers and superintendent
of the ten eastern counties, and
we wish to add to that, the sug-
gestion that the teachers and
school officers get in as close touch
rs possible with the press. "a T
Teachers, as q rule, are iadiffer-
ent to the advantages of cooper
ating with the local editor to &C
complish things in the line of ed
ucation, and editors are apt to
become indifferent to the needs Of
schools and teachers because
teachers seldom subscribe for the
local paper, and when they want
printing done they are not thot-
full about giving it to the printing
house that publishes a newspaper
and gives them free notices Of
entertainments, with the tedious
programs attached.
Teachers do not generally un'
derstand that job printing is the
profit. making part of printing Of
house, and the newspaper the los.
ing end of it, and that an editor
looks with longing eyes for jon
printing.
Teachers, as a rule cultivate
tact in dealing with children, but
use very little tact in social and
business affairs, and so it has come
about that teachers and editors,
the people who could help each
ether much, and by so doug help
the public most. have scarcely
known each others work. The
average editor knows little of the
school, criticises the work, es
FRANCES the patrons from it, and
makes it harder for all.
We want TO suggest at this time
that editors, teachers and schoo
officers begin the school year by
getting in close touch with eacl
other in their work, and thru the
press, keep the public in closer
touch with the school and in more
perfect harmony with it because O.
the better understanding of wha
it is trying to do and how it il
trying to do it.

The death of Arthur Simmons, of 1913
! street northwest, marks the end Of
one Of the most interesting and unique
characters among the colorsd people
employed by the Government. He has
been suffering with paralysis for num-
her of years. and when he was finally
stricken down on Wednesday morning
he knew that the end was only a matter
of few days.
Simmons IVES for many years the
doorkeeper at the White House for the
secretary to tFe President He was first
appointed TO this position during Presi-
dent 1-incoln's first tern, and served
from then until HarrisOn's administra-
lion. when, in 1889. he was transferred
10 the sixth Auditors Office, IN the
Treasury Department From that time
until Cleveland's second inauguration
he is said not TO have set foot witain
the grounds Of the White House.
The story of his reappofntment TO his
old position is interesting The signing
ot the papers which recalled Simmons

Department is said to have been the
HTst official act OF President Cleveland
after the latter's second inauguration.

Secretary, but in that year he was
transferred to the Interior Department
Where he served up 10 the time of his
