SIEFP FOR TRAINMEN
PROPER WRECK REMEDY

CH..AGO, Jan. ia Washington
special to the Chicago Tribune says:
One of the most important legisla-
tive proposals for the preventing Of
railroad accidents which have been
considered by the congress will be put
to a vote on Thursday afternoon. 1t
is the La Toilette bill, limiting the
period of labor of railroad employees
to not more than sixteen hours in any
twenty-four, and forbidding them to
resume work without having had ten
hours rest.
1t has been urged repeatedly by the
president and interstate commerce
cessive hours Of labor in causing rail-
road accidents deserves the serious con-
sideration of congress.
The bulletins publishe by the COM
mission record many accidents due to
inability of employees, through lack of
sleep, to do their duty. A few roads
enforce the regulations limiting the
hours of labor to their men, but, as a
rule, the matter is left to an arrange
ment between the men and subordinate
officials.
In the last session of congress Sem
atOr Dolliver presented a statement
showing that by agreements between
the men and their employers the hours
to twenty. A large number of train
men have been killed or injured through
sleeping on duty, and the loss Of thou
sands of lives and damage of hundreds
of thousands of dollars have resulted
from the safe cause.
AS $4,000 people are killed or injured
annually in the United States, it is
believed by the president, and he has
so stated, that it is due to the coun-
try that congress seriously consider
the question of limiting the hours Of
labor and act upon it without delay.
In spite of the presidents repeated
reference to the subject in his annual
message, congress has been slow to act.
Senator La Toilette has championed the
matter in the senate, and during the
last session worked hard to get his
bill approved. But the dflatory tactics

IS TOO COLD FOR RELIGION
No Services Being Held at Penitenti-

able Piace-Petition Signed.

More than 100 names have already
been secured by Chaplain lie COrnu
to the petition which he is circulating
in favor of $4,000 appropriation by
the state for the erection of chapel
and amusement hall at the penitentl-
airy.
During cold weather like the pres
ent it is impossible for the prisoners
to receive any religious instruction
at all as Warden Kincaid thinks it
inadvisable to make them stand out
doors during services and that is the
only place large enough at which to
hold them.
Adjutant Wisher, of the Salvation
Army, was prevented from talking
to the men last Sunday for this rea-
son.
The chaplain is very enthusiastic
over the proposed chapel and thinks
that it is the most vand claim for ap-
preparation of the peoples money
which will be before the legislature.
He is meeting with cordial express
sions of support from the business
men whom he is inviting to sign the
petition and says he has yet to find
an instance of anyone who has re-
fused to affix his name.

The action is not only constant but

FOREST RESERVES AND LEGISLA.
TIVE FAVORITISM.


TIVE FAvORITISM.
The American Forestry association,
of which the secretary of agriculture is
president, is appealing to all friends
of the forests for their assistance in
behalf of the bill to establish national
forest reserves in the southern Appa-
lacian range and in the White mount
aims This measure passed the senate
and has been unanimously recommend
ed for passage by the house committee
on agriculture. The president is said
to be strongly in favor of it, as would
naturally be expected, and a majority
of the members of the house are count
ed on the same side, and yet there are
grave approximations lest the matter can
never be brought to a vote.
If majority of the house favor it, it
is difficult to understand why the ma
chinery of that body should be SO poor
| ly adapted to what is required of it as

up this measure and dispose of it in a
| few minutes. If the arbitrary domina-
| ton of the house by the rules commit
tee is good for anything, it ought to
meet just such a case as this. When we
hear about matters of vital interest to
the country being delayed or defeated
entirely because of the difficulty of
bringing them to vote and then OBJ
serve with what promptness and celer-
ity matters of party concern or special
ly favored by the controlling committee
| are brought up and disposed of, the
public is inclined to lose patience with
| that kind of house organization which
| is efficient and sufficient for measures
favored by the rules committee and for

nothing compared with the delays in
simple matters of legislation, when it
doesn't suit the whim of the powers

others prevented a vote, and just before
adjournment almost brought about the
defeat by a motion made by Senator
Foraker to recommit the measure to
the committee on education and labor.
An agreement finally was reached to
vote upon the bill on Jan 10. Since
then the railroad men of the country
have been active and petitions have
the La Toilette bill. The railroads, on
their part, also have been busy and
many petitions have been submitted
in cir behalf.
The roads declare their time and
schedules are so arranged that there is
little danger of men working more than
sixteen hours, which is the limit pre-
scribed by the bill. Should a train on
long run be belated because of lack
of steam or heavy traffic and fail to
reach it's destination, they point out
that the crew could not pull in the
train, and it would be necessary to ship
out another crew a considerable dis
lance. Any other course would subject
them to the penalty Of $1,000 fixed by
the La Toilette bill. The result would
be to delay passengers and freight and
work a real hardship to people with
out benefiting the trainmen.
Besides the hours of the labor bill
there is disposition in both houses of
congress further to safeguard life on
railroad trains by providing severe pun
shment for engineers and other eff
ployes responsible for wrecks by dis
regarding the rules for the operation of
safety devices.
Representative Hepburn, chairman of
the interstate commerce committee, has
announced that this commission would
give early consideration to various bills
and resolutions which have been intro
duced as the result of the recent appall-
ing wrecks.
Mr.. Hepburn expressed the view that
the block system is the most perfect
system yet devised to prevent COLLISIONS,
but it is similar to every other system
in that it has to be administered by
human instrumentality, and thus is liza
BILE to failure.

TO US THE REMORSE.


IT'S not within us to withstand 1ur-
Their the terrific fire from those lS-1ncn
editorials of the Union. We are licked
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Our handker-
chief is up in lieu of whittier hag-oui
hands elevated and our gun soaked be-
meath the center table.
No more will we take unto our
selves the ungrateful task OF adver-
Using the extreme piety of the UNION
editorialist. Never again may we say
unto our readers that scripture is good
in it's place. Our ideals have been
confounded-our motives misunderstood
In sorrow, and with a slowly descend
ing lacrima, we wend our way to the
sunken rear-maugre the jeers and
boots of an unfeeling populace. Our
candle of glory is snuffed-our cinch-
es on fame busted.
Until now we had thought ourselves
beneath the touch of the iron hand OF
the editOrialist. We had believed that
treading quietly through the dark alleys
of humble illiteracy, sneaking past the
corner of public discussion, where our
weakness could not have withstOod the
critical stare of trained observation
budding and shivering beneath man
tie of meek desuetude, we would es-
cape the fruits of our rashness.
But it was not to be. With patience
admirable, with scorn lofty and be-
coming, our neighbor of the biblical
quotations and the yeastless, unleav-
ened style of the medievalist, permit
ted us to tread our foolish way deer
into the labyrinths of hopeless invO-
luton, ere he deigned to administer
that reprimand which we unwittingly
but we'll, deserve.
Then, with a single poke at the
typewriter, he crushed us. Without a
sign of boiling anger, more in sorrow
than in enmity, he handed unto us the
Injunction. Using not his own pro-
found knowledge, nor yet his ranging
mastery of neolcgy, he coldly refers us
to the bible convention out at Whitman
where it is declared that every article
in one magazine which is devoted not
to Christian Science, contained scrip
tural reference.
'Tis more than sufficient. We bow
to the rebuke, so mildly, yet firmly
given. We suffer untold pangs at the
merited chastisement. 'Tis not for us
of the humber, more material sphere tC
protest.
Our lesson is learned. No more will
we so realistically cOnfound ourselve:
with the writer's of the psalms and thu
proverbs and the divine utterances.
Hereafter shall we confine our read
ing to the magazine of the scripture
quotations-and to the more inspiring
utterances of the consistently religious
editorialist of the Union.
Others we need not-neither of news
nor Of brains.

of the criminal classes from the rest of
the community. One aim is the protec-
ton of society. If the criminal is con-
fined in the penitentiary, he has little
opportunity for inflicting injury on his
fellows. The protection of the inno-
cent is subserved by the incarcera-
ton of the criminal; the severity and
certainty of such punishment is also
a restraining influence on the possible
acts of others. The second object of
removing the criminal from association
with his fellowmen is the reformation of
the criminal. The aim is to provide
conditions and surroundings such that
the better nature of the man will be
given an opportunity for development.
For the first class of offenders the
state prison, such as we have at Walla
Walla, is sufficient To such an in
stitution should be sent the hardened
criminal, whom neither kindness nor
severe discipline, the hard fare, the
joyless hours that characterize the life
UNFAIRLY forfeited his rights in the COM
munity. He must be content to pay
the penalty for his crimes and to serve
as an example of the old adage that
the way of the transgressor is hard
Weak Minded Offenders.
There is another class of prisoners
who are not hardened criminals; who
are, in fact, often merely the victims
of circumstances. They could easily
become criminals by being compelled
to associate continually with profess
sion crooks These men are usually ig-
norant and easily influenced. They act
on impulse. The state prison is not
a suitable place for such persons. They
need an entirely different environment.
Under proper conditions many of these
persons will eventually become useful
members of society. The aim of the
penal reformatory is to provide these
different and improved conditions.
1.-The penal reformatory will separate
the first offender from the professional
law-breaker; the youthful sinner from
the convict; the misguided adolescent
from the experienced criminal; the
weak from the strong and cunning;
the spirited boy from the perverted
felon.
1.-THE penal reformatory will provide
industrial and commercial training for
all prisoners. This is the very basis
of any true reformation. The majority
of the youthful convicts sent to the
penitentiary have had no systematic
training They are in prison because
they have not been taught to do some
one thing we'll, we'll enough to make
it a business or a trade. They lack
the discipline that results from con-
tinuous effort they lack the mental
balance that results from good habits.
The reformatory will train them to
form better habits, such habits as reg
ularity, persistency, abstinence, obedi-
ence to constituted authority.
Wide Scope Of Training.
