His Life o. Failure.

AS LVS u EUILLtFS.
my life has been failure" said the inmate
who died recently at the prison hospital This
sentence offers excellent opportunity for short
sermon; for it is full of pathos and tragedy, and
up in few words the brief biography of who
had went astray. Let pause for moment, we
who are on the sunny side of ife's meridian, and
consider the future. Are going to be failure
when old age approaches, or we going to get
little pleasure out of this existence? If we become
failure only blame ourselves for our wreck
ed life This man realized too late that he was pur-
suing phantom-that he was getting the worst of
the game. In letter he left he stated: Il have
made miserable failure of my life and realize the
utter hopelessness of it," These words signif-
cant and should be given careful thought by every
young man in this institution.
We knew this man we'll during his long sojourn
among the Gray Brotherhood. He was about 81
years old and had been here nearly fifteen years. AS
a prisoner he was an excellent workman. If he had
displayed the ability at useful occupation
on the outside he would have had no occasion to
say that his life was failure.
We realize fully that any man is likely to err
and land in place of this kind, but to deliberately
throw ones self at the mercy of the law again and
again, one is taking hazards which will surely make
ones life failure When the twilight of life sets in
he begins to think what fool he has made of his
career. Surely such man is to be pitied. Such
blind, unreasoning selection of course of action
cannot help but prove disastrous. It is up to us to
decide whether going to be a jailbird all
our life, whether going to be free and en-
Joy the fruits thereof Just remember this-t is no
trouble whatever to be failure, and very few per-
sons are laying awake nights worrying about the
Door wretch who is down and out.

Punishment for Crime.

Punishment for Crime.
WRITER in the current number of the Anze,z-
Journal of Sociology has interesting article
the treatment of prisoners. This writer maintains
that the old idea of punishment preventive is
becoming obsolete and that true reformation is only
obtained by TREATMENT and not punishment This
gentleman insists that the idea of fitting punishment
to the act is absurd. but that attention should
be given to the state of mind which gave expression
to the act.
The foregoing theories appear very logical and
it is in this direction that the American and Euro
pean penologsts advancing. The fallacy of
Furnishing an irresponsible man for committing
wrongful act, without taking into consideration the
state of mind is all wrong and has never produced
any beneficial effects. Men of ripe experience have
repeatedly suggested the wisdom of curing the Grim.
inal by course of treatment instead OF subjecting
him to system of punlshments The only difficulty
in this direction is the selection of the most efca-
cous cure or theory. Some believe in complete
social osracism others advocate deportation to
isolated island; while still others would have every
wrongdoer branded or else chloroformed The latter
can be eliminated for the theory is unthinkable and
inhuman. Deportation has its champions; it also
has many shortcomings. England and France have
experimental with deportation and found serious
objections with it. Social ostracism is an admirable
preventive, but hardly suffices for cure.
In the final analysis it is difficult to tell which
theory is the most perfect and which will prevail
Undoubtedly the method that produces the best re-
suits will be accepted. It is we'll to state that all
men who commit wrongful acts do not deserve to be
recorded and punished criminals. Let us suppose
that physician gave all his patients the same kind
of medicine for different ailments, and it is easily to
discern that the result would be far from satisfactory
The same theory holds good with the punishment
of wrongdoers. It is impossible to apply the same
treatment to all and get the maximum benefit.

No doubt the people of this country are very
grateful to Mr. Evans for lis long and distinguished

Fighting Bob has proved himself to be more

province of the American nation that is too great to
besow upon him. Still, Mr. Evans is mindful of
the fckleness of public opinion; and while today he

condemn him for slight indiscretion This

.VezO Methods.
LAST weeks issue contained an article entitled
the Golden Rule Policy" and which described the
new method adopted by the police department of
Cleveland. careful reading of the article will con-
vince that the idea is not only logical but safe
and economical from every standpoint. The idea is
so simple and humane that one wonders why it had
not been put into operation long ago. It is not only
humane, but constructive and inspires good citizen
ship. 1t differs so radically from the old system
that conservative persons would imagine that the
method might menace the peace Of the community
by putting premium crime-in other words,
making it too easy for those who are addicted to
committing lawless acts
The Golden-Rule idea has surprised even it's
worse critics. those who predicted all kinds of law
essness as the result of it's adoption. Many of these
critics are now supporters of the idea, for
they now realize that the old method bore too heav
y on the poor without advancing the of society
or it's protection in the least. The idea now IN
vogue in Cleveland is founded on Charles Sheldon's
book "In His Steps," and it is becoming very popu-
lar with the people of that city. Some phianthro-
pist should have Ceveand's police system print
ed in pamphlet form and distributed to every chief
of police in the country The idea should take root
and thus promote progress and happiness.

the coming year. whats the use," said he; "there
will be no 1909" There you are. Pleasant con-
temptation, is it not? Still, there is absolutely no
occasion for alarm, for this gentleman has never
made correct prediction. If he had stated that it
would rain during the year 1909, he would have been
talking sense, but it is will pay any atten
tion to his rawlings. We might just we'll begin on
