Jennings Bryan will be nominated to-
day for the presidency but it may take
a night session to do it. The delegates
realize that much time has been lost
and are resolved to rush things from
now on.
There are already twenty-five sec
onding speeches set down, but it is
hoped that some of them can be called
off.
Whatever doubt existed as to Bryan
being the choice of the convention on
the first ballot was removed today
when the New York delegation, assem-
bled in caucus, decided to mount the
Bryan band wagon.
Last night, and for several hours
this morning, New York stood by Col
onel Guffey, of Pennsylvania, but the
fate of the Pennsylvania boss was a
warning to Tiger Murphy and the word
was sent along down the line that 1t
was useless to further oppose the NOM
ination of the Sage of Fairview.
The platform has not yet been sub
mitted to the convention, but all of its
provisions have been practically
agreed uponSand nothing remains, ex-
cept its formal ratification.
Daily News Staff Special
Denver, Colo, July 9.---With the
platform ready to report to the con-
vention, all minor matters disposed
of, and the full evening before it, the
National Democratic Convention as
sembled today at noon to go through
the formal routine of adopting the
pla4forn, and nominating candidates
-foE President and Vice President.
Unless an unexpected fight occurs
over the adoption of the platform, the
nomination of candidate for Presi-
dent will take place this afternoon.
The anti-Bryan men held several in
formal conferences this morning and
it is understood that 1t was decided to
contest vigorously every inch of
ground on the floor of the convention.
On the face of the thing 1t look Like
Bryan has enough votes to swing his

Schools in Prisons.

Schools in Prisons.
AT TIENTsN, CHINA, they have modern prison.
There is nothing strange in this for wherever you
find civilization, there also you will find a prison
At Tientsin, however, are told that the Western
world could learn few ideas in prison management
simply because the officials of that institution have
introduced school and teach the prisoners two
hours each day. This idea of improving the prison
er's mind was not conceived by the Chinese The
Western world has adopted this theory years ago,
and it is very likely that China derived it's nspira-
ton from America or Europe.
This country has occasion to be envious of
the progressive" city of Tientsin. Why, almost
every penal institution in this country now has a
prison school; and in some of them these schools
have been inaugurated years ago. Wherever these
schools have been started they have been continued
with good results to the state and to the prisoner
In Minnesota night school has been in operation
for about eighteen years, and in some states they
have been conducted for longer period
Abroad they also believe in spreading enlighten-
ment among the prisoners In Scotland the inmates
are taught reading, writing, and spelling and fire.
quently they given lectures by eminent persons
who receive pay for their services. Similar lee
lures are held in the prisons turnout the United
Kingdom. Undoubtedly many other countries have
put into practice the educational plan for it
sonabe to suppose that if schools are beneficial to
society, there is no valid reason why the prisoner
should not share in this benefit. In the course Of
time this idea will be extended somewhat further

TO Prevent Rey0Zzzti07as


The Central American Peace Conference has
performed distinct service in the cause of human
ity, and the result of its deliberations will have
succinct tendency in preventing revolutions in those
unhappy countries The several statesmen repre-
senting these governments signed eight treaties of
monumental Importance to South America, the latter
of which reads: "None of the five signatory powers
shall recognize either of the five republics whose
ruler shall have gained the ascendancy the result
of revolution or forceful overthrow of the exist
ing government, unless the ruler is the selection
of the whole people and is elected according to the
constitution after all the required provisions have
been carried out"
South America, because of the prevalency of
revolutions and the instability of the several govern
ments has been the subject Of mirth by novelists,
satire by playwrights, standing joke by humorsts
and witty photographers, and source of much irrta
ton by foreign diplomats However, if the sigma
tory powers have not agreed to suppress by force of
arms ambitious statesmen who unlawfuly seize the
regns of government revolutions will continue to
revolute as heretofore. Revolutions are expensive
things to have and it is evident that South America
is nauseated with them, as they have lost their
popularity. When these little republics cease to
have their comic tragedies they will enter the lists of
dgnifed countries and be respected according to
their merits. re@g

Treatment of Criminals.

1TeNID1e71J OF CRIMINALS.
The superintendent of Blackwell's Island peni-
Tertiary, whore the minor offenders of New York
city are imprisoned, has announced the abolition of
the locksep and striped garments for the prisoners
This is a step in ADVANCE and it shows the grow
ing appreciation Of societys duties to its criminals
The superintendent gives as the reason for the
change that "such customs calculated to kill any
smouIderng spark of decency that may remain in
the prisoner when he is brought to the city prison.
The old idea of handling criminals was that of
punishment almost entirely. Protection to society
was only incidental; reformation of the erring WAS
not considered at all.
Properly, the reformation of the prisoner should
be the first aim of society and punishment the last
When commits a crime it is necessary
that something should be done with him. IF he is
cursed with criminal tendencies he must be placed
where it will be out of his power to further threaten
society by his crimes That is done by incarceration
in penal institution.
The next step should be to discover whether
there is foundation for regeneration left in the
vict and there very few criminals in which such
foundation cannot be detected If it is found, the
next effort should be to lift the prisoner up to a
higher moral level, to teach him the of his
ways and to make him an honest and productive
citizen if possible.
That cannot be done where every prisoner re-
CARELESS of the nature of his character his crime
is pounded down to a common level with the worst
inmates of the prison. The lockstep and the hateful
prison uniform adjuncts that tend to create that
leveling, which is always leveing down and never
a leveling up
A large percentage of criminals, even in the
state penitentiaries still possess the spark that
be kindled into glow of earnest purpose and amb-
ton. A prison system which tends to extinguish
this spark is bad one. prison system that takes
account of this possibility, and that is designed to

Those that deserve punishment by continued
attractions of law and discipline should be punished
But those who have erred thru weakness and igno-

be subjected to uplifting and upbuilding influences

PHYSICIAN DIES
FROM CHAMBERS

DIR. Thomas M. Wilson, 465 West
Monroe street, died early yesterday
morning at the Presbyterian Hospital,
a victim of his unrestrained zeal for
scientific research. Like so many of
his colleagues in the medical profess
sion, DIR. Wilson lost his own life in an
attempt to stay the ravages cf disease
among his fellow men.
The disease to which he succumbed,
after weeks of torture, was CHAMBERS,
a malady which rarely attacks the hu-
man organism, but which is one of the
most malignant and stubborn known to
medical science. So uncommon is the
disease, indeed, that the belief is gen.
eral that horses alone are subject to it.
He was attended by DR.. Arthur Bevan
and DR.. Frank Billings.
Yellowstone monitor. [volume] (Glendive, Mont.) 1905-1928, 1908-11-26

For twelve months DR.. Wilson had
devoted all of his leisure to expert
ments in the laboratories of the Nc
Cormick Memorial Institute in an at
tempt to produce serum that would
counterfeit the effects of the CHAMBERS
bacilli. He had made much progress
and was preparing to publish the re-
suits of his Investigations when he
suddenly found that his system had be-
come impregnated with the cultures
over which he had been working
Familiar as he was with the deadly
nature Of the disease he must have
known during the three weeks that he
battled for life at the hospital that
there was little hope. Yet the only re-
greet he expressed was that death should
come to him in a way which might be
attributed by other members of his
profession to carelessness.
To his associates at the laboratory
he said:
