THE REFoRMAToRY TROUBLE.

While comparatively little of the evil
dence in the reformatory investigation
at Hutchinson has reached the public,
it is to be hoped that there will be no
disposition to apply a coat of white
wash to anyone concerned. If condi-
lions in the reformatory are not what
they should be in such an institution,
let the blame be placed where 1t be-
longs, whether on the board of man
ayers, the superintendent, or the en-
ployes, and may there be a thorough
housekeeping wherever necessary.
The personal differences between Of
f1cers or employees are something the
public is not interested in, except as
such differences might affect the inf1u-
ence of the officers over the inmates,
but the state is interested in knowing
whether the reformatory is conducted
to really reform the inmates or only
for purposes of punishment and re-
venge.
The state of Kansas has several hun
dred thousand dollars invested in that
Hutchinson reformatory. Its object is
to educate and train boys and young
men who have made a wrong step
who, through wrong associations or n
sudden temptation. have committed
first crime. If the object is only to
punish such offenders. they might as
well be sent to the penitentiary and
avoid the necessity of a reformatory,
but If a special effort is to be made to
get them started in the right road
again. those who are over them should
be men specially adapted to that kind
of work and men who will exert a
helpful influence instead of a wrong
one.
Stories that have come from the insti-
tuition for months have indicated that
the reformatory might be improved.
The fact that a boy not yet out Of his
teens killed himself in the streets of
Topeka rather than go back to the
reformatory, from which he had been
paroled, was not a very hattering
recommendation for the manage
ment.
The stories of excessive cruelty and
that records have been changed to
cover UP the real cause of the death
OF one inmate,-stories that have just
come out in the present investigation
are news to the public. They may
be true and they may not. If that
story about changed records is true, it
would appear that some of those in
authority ought to change places with
the inmates.
At any rate, the Hutchinson re-
formatory should be made a real re-
formatory institution, and Governor
Hoch should see that the officers,
from the directors down, are men
who will command the respect of the
boys under them, instead of arousing
their contempt

DREAMS.

An extremely commonplace subject
which is understood but little, is made
the topic of an article by Dr. Woods
Hutchinson in the American Magazine
for September. This elusive subject of
dreams, with the impressions and pre-
sentiments that they bring, have for
ages been the cause of much specula-
ton. yet scientists still know compare
lively little of the real workings of the
mind in some of these dreams. Others,
however, are easily accounted for.

DIR. Hutchinson. seem to be directly
traceable. Slipping down of the blankets
is followed by dreams OF Arctic relief ex-
petitions or falling into snow drifts. A
gas-distended stomach, pushing up the
diaphragm and COMPRISING the lungs,
produces dreams Of something sitting

against other forms of suffocation.

WAIL srREErs sURPRIsE.

It must be something of surprise to
Wall Street to learn from such undoubt-
| ed authority as the agents of the New
York Central that the country is not on
the verge of 81 different varieties of
ruin after all.
Wall Street has felt itself hanging
over the brink of the precipice for some
time, and as it fondly imagines that 1T
/ is the whole country, it naturally infer
red that the whole country is going in
the same direction that Wall Street
itself is headed, and that 1t will strike
bottom some time, maybe. with a dull,
sickening thud,. or something of the
kind.
Perhaps Wall Street cannot be blamed
for this error, because it's point of view
is extremely narrow. It cannot sec
west of the Hudson. It imagines that
Jersey is on the frontier and that the
Bronx is in the wilds of the north What
Wall Street doesn't know about the re-
sources of this country would fill an
unabridged dictionary, with enough left
over to issue an o'clock extra edition.
But now comes the New York Central
Wall Street knows something about
the New York Central-and 1t certifies
that the country is not only all right,
but that it is swimming in prosperity
up to its eyes. The New York Central.
in accordance with its annual custom,
asked reports on financial conditions
from its 1876 commercial agents through
out the country, and without exception
all these agents have returned the most
glowing reports of business conditions.
Naturally Wall Street cannot under
stand it. 1t knows that these New York
Central reports are usually correct But
with nobody buying its watered stock
and inflated securities. with money
scarce and interest rates high, with its
automobiles going over the bargain
counter and the prospect of the soup
house staring 1t in the face the coming
winter, Wall Street does not see how the
country can be prosperous. Heretofore
when there has been any money in the |
all Wall Street had to do was |
to press the button and the country |
brought its money in. Now the country |
says it is too busy. and for Wall Street |

the country is investing its funds in its |
own business instead of buying Wall |

TAFT AS A sTUMPER.

For a heavy weight Secretary Taft is
good deal of a sprinter. He gets about
filling engagements to speak as nimbly
as Mr.. Bryan did in his younger days.
A speech in the morning, another in the
afternoon, and q third at night, with
several receptions thrown in, do not tire
him at all. Here is food for thought.
If he is nominated for president next
year will the secretary make a tour?
If Mr.. Bryan runs again he is almost
certain to swing around the circle, as in
his former campaigns This will be a
sort Of challenge to the opposition, and
an effective stumper like Secretary Taft
might be tempted to accept it. And
with both candidates abroad hunting
votes snakes would be walked from ocean
