AEAsoN TO FEEL ENCOURAGED.
Editor Palladium

Editor Palladium
The ideas of Rev Clarence NJ. Case,
as expressed in the Palladium of Mon
day, August 9TH, about the need of bet
ter conditions at the Wayne county
prison, have called forth so much fav-
orable comment that we have great
reason to feel encouraged, and hope
that better conditions are soon to be
realized. The people are waking to
feel the need of better conditions for
the insane and epileptic prisoners, as
we'll as to better conditions for all pris-
oners. Mrs. Maybrick, who under
went fifteen years imprisonment, is
we'll qualified to speak on the great
problem of prison reform. In a re-
cent conversation in the Moraine no.
tel at Highland Park, Chicago, she
said THE American mind needs arous-
ing on the whole prison problem. 1t
is not enough-important as it is
merely to put prisoners into sanitary
roomy prisons and give them work to
do. Something more is needed il the
American prison system is really to be
worthy of land which always desires
to blaze the trail for the rest of the CIV
ilized world to follow
Mrs. Fales. sister of John Wanamak-
err, has founded what is spoken of as
novel home in Philadelphia. 1t is
four story marble mansion, and has
been named The Brotherhood of Re-
deemed Men, Mrs. Fales Is known
as Mother Fales." Mrs. Maybrick
recommends that the state go to work
on the souls of the prisoners and seek,
by a scientific bit of character building
to remake the prisoner. She says: IF
the state seeks merely to punish it
does nothing but to make the prison
ers more hopeless, more dull, more de-
based. perhaps more desperate and
more 1awless. In these days criminol-
ogy is not a mere bit of haphazard
guess work, but 1t is a science, and
popular demand should insist that the
prisons become fields where this sci
ence should be applied, and where ex-
perts would be put in charge of the
prisoners" Mrs. Fales's work is to
take these prisoners who wish to re-
form. when they come from prison and
help them to sink their shame and de-
spair in the sense of their manhood.
The story of the organization and work
of the brotherhood is best told in her
own words: 1T began in this way. A
man who had sunk to the lowest
depths of a habitual drunkard, to
whom the walls of the prison were as
familiar as those of his own home.
wandered into Bethany church where
he became impressed with the service. |
He suddenly arose and asked: VIII |
you take bum like me into your So
ciety?' His outstretched hand was i'm |
mediately clasped and he was made
welcome. From that hour his reform |
began, and today he is a valuable cit
izen. He has brought others who
were released from prison and the

ST Paul March 2s.--The state SUI

Northern Railroad in its contention that
IL had the night to issue the sbO,oOO.pOO
OF stock authorized by the board Of
directors some months ago and which
was enjoined by Atty. Gen. YoDng, who
claimed that the company should first
come before the state railroad and

an examination to show the necessity
and the purpose of the issue, This con-
tention of the state WAS upheld by
Judge Hallam In the Ramsey county

1ion to issue. The supreme court to-
day reverses that decision,
The opinion OF the court was unani-

the opinion of the court, the syllabus OF
which Is as follows:
