Defects in Our Prison System.

A number Of years ago ! contri-
buted to a magazine an article en-
titled THE Criminal in the Open.'
The main thesis supported in this
paper was that criminologists had
previously been studying the Grimm

prison cell and that, to know their
man well, they must make his
acquaintance when free and natur-

evils; and that it is almost distinctly
up to" both criminologist and PEN
ologist to work for radical changes
in the present system.
My own experience in that old jail

trial is typical of what happens to
the average prisoner in most of our
jails. The jail building was uncom-

The lower board of the general
council is to be congratulated on dis
regarding the advice of its alleged
friends, and enacting an apportion-
ment ordinance, that apparently in
dicates an intention to keep down the
tax rate. The people are always
willig to spend their money, if they
can see results in public improve
ments, but that does not mean that
the people desire to see their money
spent lavfshly-not by the direct tax
system, certainly. The predecessor
of this general council was elected on
"a low tax rate platform and the
council fulfilled its promise. For
every dollar spent the people have
something to show for 1t. II there is
a floating debt for the people to pay
this year, they are already enjoying
the benefits of the investment.
Whether the money to pay for 1t was
forthcoming the last year or must be
raised this year, makes little differ
ence. 1t is all the peoples money,
anyway, and If the taxpayers must
pay it this year, they escaped it last
year, kept the money just twelve
months longer, and got the benefit
as soon. After making allowance
for the deficits. the departments this
year will have little. if any more
money to spend than they had in
1906 1t will be interesting to note
the departments, politically
adverse to the old general council,
which created deficits with remark
Ible unanimity, will do so this year,
'r whether, being in accord with the
general council. they will keep with
n their appointments.

RoBBER AIDED BY STORM DOOR
Gets Ranchman's Purse After Follow
ing Him Hundreds of Miles.

st. Louis, Jan. 22.-James c. Byr-
mes reported at police Headquarters
today that his purse, containing s43,
had been stolen from his pocket while
he was entering the postoffice through
a storm door. Mr.. Byrnes, who is a
mine owner and ranchman of Sara
toga, Wyo., gave the police a descrlp-
ton of man who had followed him
from Cheyenne, Wyo., where he
drew $4,000 from a bank two weeks
ago, as the man he believes got his
purse.
Mr.. Byrnes says the man was in
the Cheyenne bank when he drew
the money, got on the train, intro
duced himself. Travelled with him to
this city, thence to Durant. l. T.
At Durant Mr.. Byfnes managed to
give the man the slip and purchased
land. for which he paid down nearly
all of the $4,000. The confidence
man, not knowing the money was
gone, boarded the same train and
came back to st. Louis with him.
Here, at the postofice. while the
storm door was revolving with the
two men in a crowd, the persistent
man managed to get Byr-
mes purse. containing much less
than the confidence man had spent in
his efforts to rob him.

THE GERMAN ELECTIONS

,
The elections for members of tn,
German reichstag are now close a
hand, and naturally there is a grea
IDEAL of interest in the result. The
capital question is, will the govern.
ment win?
This election, it will be remember
ed, was precipitated by the dissolu-
ton of the reichstag because it re-
fused to give the government as much
money as it desired for carrying on
the war in southwest Africa. The
wisdom of appealing to the country
on that issue was seriously ques-
toned by many who were friendly
to the government. 1t brought up
the whole colonial policy of Germany
which so far has not been brilliant.
1t has cost great deal of money,
and has brought in nothing to speak
of. 1t has also cost a good deal of
blood, and has been beset with seri-
Gus scandals.
There are, of course, other ques-
tons The defeat Of the government
in the reichstag was due to the de
lection of the Center, or Clerical par
ty, which for years has held the bal
ance of power, and has generally
stood by the government policy.
The present campaign is we'll calcu-
lated to widen the breach between
the Center and the government. 1t
is apparent that the members of the
Center party are not unanimous, and
some of them are nominating indie
pendent candidates. These may not
succeed, but they are likely to dimin-
sh the chances of the election of the
regular Center candidates. Whether
his shall ultimately be to the ad-
'antage of the government or not re-
mains to be seen.
Besides the Center the principal
strength of the campaign against the
government lies with the Socialists. |
{ seems to be conceded that they |
MI gain a number of seats. How far
his may be counterbalanced by gov
gains elsewhere is not ap-
'arent, but the general result is so
ar in doubt as to make the interest
cry Intense, and the excitement is
likely to grow until the contest is
yer. OF course the usual claims are
made on both sides with a view of
public sentiment, but all
hese must be received with grave
eserve.

THE HORSE SHOW.

Paducah can support a horse show
There Dis nothing but encourage
ment for the promoters of the 19Ol
horse show in the final statement
and the result ENSURES the hors,
show as a permanent annual affair
When one considers the weather tina
obtained all through the meeting tn,
absolutely prohibitive weather thai
necessitated the postponement the
first night, and the drizzling rain
which was braved by the enthusiasts
the other nights, that deficit of S231..
30 counts for very little.
The horse show was a magnificent
exhibition. 1t was a matter OF
pride that western Kentucky could
marshal such an array of blooded
stock; that the art Of riding has suf-
fered no decadence in this end of the
old commonwealth, and that our peo-
pie should take the interest to pre-
pare elegant equipages for the oc-
casion.
The music, the lights. the ring and
the performance formed a scene that
was inspiring, while the judges and
the performers enjoyed just as in
spring a scene in the grand stand,
where Paducah at her best sat look
ing on.
And all this was arranged for So
71G.4S!
To those, in whose minds the af-
fair has not been blotted out by sue
ceeding events, this fact will arouse
admiration for the promoters. I'll
was the acme of economy.
And now, let us turn our atten-
ton to next year. The success oil
the affair is assured, the weather
permitting. The interest aroused
insures a good attendance and num-
erous entries. The horse show takes
its place as the grand social event
of western Kentucky.
But, always. there is the weather.
Had It not been for this distressing
feature the horse show of 1906
would have more than paid out. En-
tries and attendance both suffered BY
reason Of the. rain and cold.
Paducah has demonstrated her de-
sire to maintain the horse show. II
comes but once a year, so there Is
no likelihood of the public firing of
the event. In twelve months new
and original features for each sue
ceeding show can easily be thought
out.
Before the last show was under
taken guarantors of the attraction
pledged themselves for a certain
amount in the event OF a deficit. The
weather IS the only possible deficit
maker. Why should not the guaran-
.ors contribute toward fund to en-

RIVER RISING FAST
Continued from page One.)

Central blacksmith, is out today with
a bad cold, but otherwise none the
worse for an exciting experience in
1.-THE terrific wind and rain storm of
Saturday afternoon. That he is
alive is due to his presence of mind
in clinging to his boat until rescuers
arrived instead of striking out for
the shore with the wind beating di-
rectly against him, as fear prompted.
Perry had been working at Owens
island on barges. He got into his
boat when he saw the clouds APP
|proaching. They looked ugly and he
foresaw trouble. When within a
hundred yards of the Kentucky shore
the wind struck him. Next came the
blinding rain, and in an instant the
little skiff was half filled with water
and beyond his control. The wind
ran hard against him, working his
craft towards the river. Suddenly it
capsized, and with an effort Perry
chung to its sides. Ropes were thrown
him by men on barges and after
many futile attempts, he grasped one
and was rescued.
