cal retribution, and daily turn out matured
criminals in the full knowledge that they
will again commit crime at the first oppor-
tunity. To expect any benefcent results to
follow such change as that proposed by
the Senate Codification Committee would be
as fallacious as looking for figs upon the
proverbial thistles.
In 1885, during the incumbency of j.
Proctor Knot, as Governor of Kentucky, the
convicts in the State penitentiary were idle.
mere were no contracts and the unfor-
tunate wretches were unable to get that
physical recreation so necessary to good
health. The days and weeks hung upon
them with languid idleness. At last the
convicts sent a commission to the Governor,
consisting of a number of prison guards,
requesting that some labor be furnished
for them. Governor Knott made arrange
ments with the municipal corporation Of
Frankfort, whereby the convicts could be
put to work building and repairing streets
and roads, ALI went well for time, until
free labor entered vehement protest and
the unfortunate convicts were sent back in.

land or on sea, is the pastime of kings, when
they can get others to engage in the strife,
but it is a method that republics should

We observe, however, that Justice Harlan
conscieutiously figures out that in making
preparations for war, the expected war is
not to take place in his day and generation,
being now near seventy-five years of age,
but is to be deferred for future generations

PEACE AND WAR.

AS this issue of the Blade is dedicated, by
its editor, to the memory of Thomas Paine,
it is fitting, perhaps, that his immortal dec
lation, IF there must be war let it be in my
day that my children may nave peace" be
contrasted with the recent utterances of
Justice Harlan of the United States SUI
preme Court, while addressing the Navy
League at it's annual dinner recently given
in Washington. In that address Justice Har-
Ian eugolized the efforts to buiid up
gigantic naval system in America, that shall
not only be source of pride to the warlike
sentiments of the Centralists, but a terror
to other nations, and in this the learned
jurist made no exceptions. While comment
ing upon supposition of threatened war
made thereto, the term "Other nations" in
cluded all, and so Christian as well as
Pagan nations were intended to be covered
by the suggestion. Further than this, JUS
tice Harlan desires much larger navy than
America can boast at present, and he CON-
mends the purpose of the present govern
ment to increase the strength of the navy
far beyond its present proportions.
This official and judicial desire for
larger navy comes from the fact Of foreign
conquest, an undertaking that is entirely
foreign to American tradition and American
history. Fighting for the removal of the
political letters from our own hands, and
succeeding, We have fought to place letters

is LABOR A CURSE?

is LABOR A CURSE?
In the old days labor was deemed to be
curse. In these days it is recognized
as a blessing, and still greater blessing
to be accorded the right to labor with the
ability to perform it. Some time ago
Congress named a special committee to
codify the Federal laws, and judging from
report from that committee, recently sub
mitted, upon a codification of the criminal
branch of the Federal laws, it is desired
that the words hard labor shall be aimi-
mated from the judicial sentence imposed
upon and against persons convicted of fell
ony and given, as a punishment, a term in
some penitentiary.
Serious doubts may be entertained If any
convict would wish to be doomed to idle
ness for given number of years, for it is
well understood that labor induces health,
while idleness initiates against it. To be
confined within prison walls without labor
of some sort would be living death. AS
rule, convicts are assigned to such duties
for which they are best adapted. To
great extent the labor of convicts, in all
prisons, is determined by a rule or regula
ton. To omit the words objected to from
the judicial sentence could not and ought
not to deprive the convict of being required
to labor. 1t seems to us that it is a mere
mawkish sentiment which attempts to clean
the outside of the cup and the platter for
the sake Of public effect or public opinion,
but leaving the inside full of wickedness
and iniquity.
The late Col. Ingersoll, in his Grimes
Against Criminals" attempted to direct the
way to lettering the conditions of that So
ciety from which criminals are wrought.
the improvement of the moral character of
plotting politicians, who seem to think more
of public appearance than moral and mate
rial welfare, have not yet reached that stage
of advanced PERCEPTION whereby they are
able to appreciate the moral worth of Inger-
soils utterances on that subject.
Concede the right of society to confine a
man as a means of punishment for proved
crime, it is none the less fact of penology.
that once society has him under restraint
there should be nothing required of him
save enough labor to pay for the cost of his
keep and maintenance, and that the balance
of his time should be occupied in attempted
reformation and improvement that the pos
sbility of a return to crime upon being lib
Grated at the expiration of his sentence
would be minimized. This should be in
tended for the prisoners own good AS

TOO LIBERAL FOR A PREACHER.

Rev. Burris A. Jenkins, formerly of In
dianapolis, also of Lexington, KY, and now
of Kansas City, Mo-, is, in our judgment
far too liberal-minded man to longer re-
main in the orthodox Christian pulpit Be it
noted, however, that Mr.. Jenkins is a pastor
of the Campbellite persuasion, and, to an
extent, is regarded as approaching infidelity,
which may account for his recent radical
utterances on the Sunday question and upon
the subject of the goddess coins"
The Blade is acquainted with Mr.. Jenkins
by reputation. Until year ago he was
President of the Kentucky University, a
preacher factory, and it is broadly limited
that he was far too liberal for the Regents
of that institution and while a man of bril-
liant mind they did not regret losing him
when he handed in his resignation for fear
his liberality would permeate the institution
over whose destinies he presided and work
its leaven upon the minds of the young COS
lings who were being prepared to preach
the Gospel of Christ for cash. He favored
athletics when the others opposed them. He
was in for every innocent game that could
be played upon a college campus. He was
admired by all who knew him and under his
ministrations the University prospered. He
resigned and his resignation was accepted
with the usual regrets), and now we find
him at work in Kansas City pulpit.
Recent press dispatches, with pictorial
representation, depict him as kicking off the
Sunday lid and approving the Presidential
order which removed the lin god we trust
from the new gold coin. Coming from a
preacher such utterances were deemed worthy
of being published broadcast, and this,
we take it, is another evidence of the chatting
on the public part against theological re-
straints which must sooner or later result in
an outburst of indignation strong enough to
overthrow the church power in America.
With a few more preachers like Burris A.
Jenkins the day is not far distant when
such consummation shall be upon us.
