Pamperina the convicts.

Cedar Rapids Republican. When
the legislature meets in January there
will be the usual number of applica-
lions for pardons. The only wonder
will be if the convicts at Fort Madison
do not ask for wholesale pardon.
They have recently been told by their
own warden that they are more sinned
against than SHINING and that society
which has wronged these men should
begin making amends by buying boiled
shirts and tailor made suits for them.
From that state of personal effulgence
it ought to be an easy conclusion that
they are entitled not only to the dress
OF private citizens but that they are
entitled to the freedom of private
citizens
must be confessed that we are still
making very great botch of criminal
punishments. Prison life, in the peni-
tentiaries, has not been made some
thing dreadful, as it ought to be- the
depths of disgrace and humiliation, but
We have theorized on it until the prls-
oners themselves are not sure whether
or not they are the wrong doors or
whether organized society is the wrong
doer.
The days of unusual and cruel pun
ishments are. OF course, forever pass
ed, but We still ought to treat wrong
doors as such and we ought not to
fuss over them, to load them with
luxuries and to pamper them with
mawkish sentiments.

One trouble about the cabinet posi-
lions is that there are not enough of
them to go around. The Republican
party is rich in men who are quail
fed and worthy to be the Presidents

SHEPPARD HIT HARD.
If Not Reinstated He Loses Chance
 to Annex Trophy.

The suspension Of Melvin Sheppard by the Atlantic association of the A. A. U., coming at this time affects that runner more than it would at any other time of the year Not only was Sheppard expected to be the star at the meet of his own club, the Irish-American A. O., in Madison Square Garden on February 8, but he was also entered in the Martinique mile" at the Columbia university games in the garden week later. The Martinique Cup was first put up at the Columbia meet in 1906, the conditions being that 1t must be won by the same man three times to be owned. In 1906 Sheppard won 1t and was beaten in the race last year by Frank Nebrich, now professional.
 This year Sheppard fully expected to annex another leg on the trophy, despite the fact that Haskins, Coe, and Sullivan will probably start. But if he stands suspended he. will lose by default.

SIX ENTRIES FOR OCEAN RACE
Bermuda Committed May Arrange a
 Special Class For AuxiIiaries.

Bermuda Committee May Arrange a
 Special Glass For AuxiIiaries. Boston, Feb. 3.-Interest in the Mar blehead-Bermuda yacht race, which starts on June 8, is increasing steadily as winter wears away and spring ap- breaches. With six entries already re- ceived by the Corinthian Yacht club certainly great interest has been shown for so early in the season. The Bermuda race committee has heard from several yacht owners who are contemplating going in the race, and there are undoubtedly a good many more who have the race in mind but who have not yet been able to come to decision about it to make their in- tentions known.
 A suggestion has been made to the committee that it might be well to have a special class for medium sized auxiliaries. Some of the owners of these boats feel that they would not have much chance of winning against boats without screws, so they would not care to enter in either of the classes named in the circular which has been issued. If. however, they could sail against other auxlliaries only, they would be glad to make the trip to Der muda. Concerning this matter, the committee say that if they could be sure of three or more starters they would make special class for auxil- iaries within certain limits and offer suitable prizes.
 There have been six entries so far Fleur de Lis, in Class A; Esperanza. Margaret, Zurah and Dervish, in Class B, and Lila, in Class D. It is curious to note in this connection that so far no entry has been made in Class c. Entries should be made with Henry A. Morse, secretary Bermuda race com mittee, no State street, Boston.
