Farm Colonies for Tramps.

All three colonies are to be places
for compulsory detention. Magi8-
trates are to have the full power of
fixing the duration of sentence, al
though no sentence is to exceed two
years. Any inmates will be able to
get parole upon giving proofs of
good behaviour and if the trustees
are convinced that he will not violate
the law. But if any tramp attempts
to escape the colony in which he is
confined, he is to be subject to term
in State prison for a period of from
one to three years.
The colonies are to be more agri-
cultural than Industrial. The aim
will be to subordinate the industrial
features to the agricultural. Compe-
titiOn with free labor will be strictly
avoided. Waste land will be reclaim
ed and cultivated as truck gardens.
1t is belied that the large cities are
able to absorb so much produce that
these gardens will not interfere with
the trade of small farmers. Probably
the entire product of the colonies may
be supplied to State Institutions.
Every inmate is to be paid for his
labor, and the cumulative amount
given him when he is released. This
compensation, it is provided, shall be
based upon the pecuniary value of the
work performed, and "also on the
willingness, industry and good con-
duct of the inmate. In place of
other penalties and punishments the
superintendent of each colony is en-
powered to maintain system of fines
to be imposed at his discretion. Any
tramp who violates the terms of his
conditional release is to forfeit all
that he has earned.-FrOm "COlOniz-
ing the Tramp" by Gustavus Myers,
in the American Review of Reviews
for March.

La TOILETTE AND PENROSE.

Some Democratic newspapers of
Wisconsin are unduly concerned
about presenting the Penrose side Of
the recent La Follette-Penrose contro-
ver8y in the United States senate.
The great press correspondents gen
orally agree that La Toilette had the
right side of the question, that he kept
his temper and was master of the stu
alton; while Penrose was wrong, i'll
tempered and ilImannered. The re-
mark of Senator Penroge when he
compared La Toilette to "a patent
medicine faker in a small town and
in Wisconsin" was very small spirit
ed indeed. The man who sneers at a
state that has sent to the United senate
such men as Doolittle, Carpenter,
Howe, Villas, Spooner, and La Fol
Iette, simply belittles himself in the
eyes of the nation.

LaFOIIette and Bosses.

St. Paul Pioneer Press, Rep; The
oiigarchy of dozen or so members
of the United States which
has taken upon itself the RESPONSE
bility Of so arranging the committees
of that body as to shut out the actiVi-
ties of other members whom the oil
garchy do not like, and of otherwise
ordering the proceedings of the
upper" house-has made big mis-
take IN it's attempt to deprive Senator
LaFollette of his just opportunities.
1t made a further mistake when it
permitted Senator PenrOse to appear
as its champion in the recent tilt with
the Wisconsin senator. Between the
pet of the Pennsylvania cOrruptiOnist8
and the pet of the Wisconsin radicals,
the people will side with the later
every time.

John Collins.

Republican Journal: Died at his
home in the village of Gratiot on
Tuesday evening, Feb. %, 1909, after
lingering illness; aged II years.
Mr.. Collins was born in Tyrone
county, Ireland, on February ,, 1882,
and came with his parents to America
in 1898. In 1856 he was united in
marriage to Miss EIizabeth Gallagher,
and sixteen children were born to
them, of whom seven are now living,
Mrs. Collins having died March 10,
1903. For many years MIR. Collins
owned and operated a 2S0-acre farm
in GratiOt, after which for many
years he was engaged in the mercan-
tile business In GratiOt and only
short time ago retired from business.
John Collins was a strong man physi-
cally and mentally, and his rugged
honesty made every acquaintance
friend. He was county clerk from
1858 to 1864, was repeatedly chairman
of his town, and after the creation of
Gratiot village he held several Offices
in the municipality.
He was man the people went to
when in trouble or distress, and to
their tales of distress, misfortune or
woe he always lent a willing ear and
a helping hand.

NARROWLY Escaped Death.

Darlington Democrat: A. W. Hall
Of Darlington was injured and mar
rowly escaped death in an accident in
a mine near Benton last week. He
was at work constructing a platform
of heavy plank in the shaft, when the
ore bucket, full and weighing 1900
pounds, became detached from the
cable and came down, grazing Mr..
Halls shoulder and striking his hand
and cruising his fingers. One finger
was taken off al the middle, and
another hung by q shred Of skin.
Had the bucket struck Mr.. Hall on the
head or shoulder, death would have
been the result.

Old Manners.

A gentleman Of the old school said
some years ago: "When I was young
two gentlemen meeting in the street
took off their hats to each other \
few years later and the bow had
ceased. Then came a time when they
merely touched the brims of their hats,
and now jerk of the chin and a little
grunt, HIM, him. is considered sufti-
cient salutation between two men Of
quality and fashion"
The habit OF remaining uncovered in
the presence Of ladies died hard, but it
is a good many years since the late
Lord d. was conspicuous as the only
man who always stood bareheaded in
the crush room of the opera.-CornhiII

Death of a Lancaster Business
Man.

The Herald: A. j. Hyde, the we'll
known Lancaster citizen, died at his
home in this city Wednesday, Febru-
airy II after an extended illness. His
death although expected for some
time, still came as a shock to his
many friends, for but a few days
previous he had been able to be
among them in comparatively good
spirit. A. j. Hyde was native of
Lancaster and for great part of his
life had been in business here. He
was born February 20, 1868.

Brushed Off a Load of Hay

Darlington Democrat: Frank Con-
nelly met with bad accident Satur-
day afternoon, while hauling hay on
the highway near his place. He was
riding on the top of a load of hay.
A tree by the side OF the road bore a
branch which projected directly across
the road, though too high ordinarily
to catch the traveller. At this time
accumulated SHOWS had so built up
the roadway that the man on the load
came against the branch and was
scraped off and dropped head first in
the hard roadway. Mr.. Connelly's
face was severely bruised, requiring
the attention of a physician.
