What Crime Costs.


We HAVE recently read the amazing figures
which statistican has compiled of the cost of
crime in the United States. According to his meth
cd the sum amounts to $1,O76, 327, 6O599 year.
This includes the judiciary, the detection of crimi-
nails, the value of the property stolen, and the
maintenance of those in detention; in fact it en-
braces every known item involved in the capture and
conviction of those who have transgressed the laws
This statistican has also figured that this amount is
about $5OOOO0,OOO more than what it costs to main
tain spiritual, humanitarian, educational, and
healing agencies thruout the entire country.
Altho this amount could probably be reduced
considerably, the fact still remains that crime is a
costly factor in any country However this clever
statiscian had deducted the earnings of those who
are imprisoned which is collected by the state,
the remainder would not be quite SO large He
should have done this by all MEANS for it is by this
mode of compensation that the state reimburses
itself To estimate the per capita cost of mainte-
nance without deducting the earnings is merely
juggling with lot of figures that misleading. 1t
is said that figures cannot lie This may be true,
but they tell excellent yarns

Prison Reform

TISO7I 1I67 O7WI
IT WAS announced from Seattle few days ago
that stripes to be abolished at the Washington
state pententary. Instead of this designation of
criminal, the men will be graded according to their
crime, term of imprisonment and conduct, each class
having uniform of different color or cut but in all
without stripes. These uniforms will carry out
the plan of the law to recognize the reward merit
among the prisoners and thus aid in preserving dis
cipline. 1t also was announced that hereafter the
criminal insane will be kept apart from the other
prisoners, which indicates that in this important
matter the state of Washington has been long way
behind the times.-Ohio Penitentiary News.

Prayer in Police Court.

7Uy67' UV L OIJCH COJJTU.
HEREAFTER the police court of Sioux City,
Iowa, will assume dignity that has always been
lacking in such places. Prayer will be offered by
regular ordained minister each day before the court
begins its solemn duty. No doubt this procedure
will be watched with interest and it's effect noted
The offering of prayers have always been inseparably
connected with our lawmaking bodies, and there is
no reason why prayers should not be just as eica-
cious with those who dispense justice as they are
with those who make the laws. While this is rad
ica departure from CUSTOM it is difficult to predict
its future.

II Depraved Wretch
IT is seldom that the public sees such an exhibi.
ton of moral turpitude that shown by Orchard in
telling of the crimes he committed It is selfevi-
dent that this made assassination business,
and that he held human life as cheaply as he did
that of an insect. His equal is difficult to nd even
tho was to search among the terrorsts of Russia
He displayed cool insouciance, deiberateness of
purpose, and disregard for law that puts him in
class by himself.
At this time it is difficult to tell whether the
is telling the truth, whether he is prepos-
ferrous liar If he is telling straight story he
is the most sublime representative of villain to be
found on off the stage. However, his nonchalance
indicates that he has been promised immunity by the
state in order to reach those who inspired and en-.
couraged him to commit these alleged crimes

A. AND N. APPROPRIATIONS.

In addition to total appropria-
ton Of $346,47o for two years for
the A. and NJ. College, carried by
the appropriation bill, which is
now up to the governor, an amend
ment was made to the feed control
law providing that funds received
by this department in excess Of
running expenses will be applied
to the erection of a new building
for the feed control department.
The Eagle has previously publish
ed list Of buildings and improve
ments provided for in the appro-
priation bill as it went to the gov
ernor. The above total appropria-
ton, which is for improvements
and the support of the institution
tor two years, is said TO be the
largest educational budget in the
history of the state for one
institution. The presen t
legislature has acted with great
wisdom in providing for th- press
ing needs of the A. and M. College,
many of which should have been
provided long ago. Representa-
tive Davis is to be congratulated
for the part he has had in this
work; likewise all the friends of
the College, and they are many,
since the merits of the institution
are becoming better known, and
its students and graduates. have
gone out into this and other
states and to foreign countries and
shown themselves equipped for the
duties of citizenship and usefulness.
