Believes In
Reformation
Charles Edward Russell, in Hamp-
tons Magazine, is Writing Re-
markable Prison Stories.

In the September number of Hamp-
toms Magazine, Mr.. Charles Edward
Russell has an initial story on prison
life, which will be followed by other
articles on similar lines.
Mr.. Russell concludes his initial story
as follows:
"But now there apparently is the be-
ginning of wholly new idea in our
prisons. A very great and peaceful
revolution is going on unmarked, and
of that wonderful change, already great
enough to give us all new faith in
the race, am to tell next. We seem
now actually to be on the point of per-
ceiving Tin some quarters) that punish
ment is no part of the functions of the
State, that we cannot afford to be brutal
even toward transgressor. that the
convict is not thing to be beaten and
bullied into new and more desperate
crimes, but man fallen morally ill
and to be restored to the full measure
of his health. Even the faint begin
nlngS or Sucl view are OF more real
importance than all the inventions OF
the year.
"You will be astonished to learn how
far the change has already progress ed
and very likely it will seem to you that
nothing else in our times really means
so much to us. Not merely because
class of most unfortunate brothers and
sisters of ours may hereafter be treated
with decency and justice, but because
here is the surest of all signs that we
actually are progressing from the proc
esses of the jungle, that kindness
and tolerance actually increase upon
us and that we may hope for time
when both the gallows and the prison
itself will cease to Ieproach our civii-
zation."
