The people of Pittsburg greatly excited over
the moral awakening that has taken place in that
city during the past week. About twenty. five en-
nent councilmen are evolved for accepting money
from banking houses, which profted by having con-
troll of the ctys funds. Years ago it was not
sidered reprehensible for any public official to
accept gratuities for favors conferred in fact such
gratuties looked upon part of the perquises
attached to the position, and the transaction was
clearly understood by the public Nowadays, the
public has been educated to the idea that official is
entitled to salary and more; all emoluments, such
as fees etc. should be turned into the city treasury
This idea is gaining ground, for it is repugnant to
of honesty to permit those who elevated
to position of trust to take advantage of those who
placed them in Office
When the American civic lawmaker once realizes
that the customs which prevailed ten and twenty
years ago are becoming obsolete he will be more
conscientious in HE duties and will refuse to follow
precedent.
Undoubtedly some of these in Pittsburg
will have to answer for their indiscreton- perhaps
imprisoned In the light of modern wisdom their
case is just as heinous offense that of the
burglar who robs house. Atho similar cases have
been heretofore severely dealt WITH the lesson of
their downfall has not taught others the wisdom of
being honest.

There are many tramps who would not be at

Penal Topics.


AT the present time the press of this country is
devoting an unusual amount of space to the dis
cusson of PRISONS criminals and their reformation.
great deal of this discussion is being taken part IN
by men intimately connected with institutional at
fa1rs-men who know the requirements of prisons
and understand the handling of it's inmates. Some
of it is being carried on by persons who, perhaps,
have entered penitentiary and the ideas of
this latter class are very misleading. However, all
this discussion is doing much good toward informing
the public of of the graves problems facing this
or any other nation
In this instance, in many others, discussion
is generally followed by wholesome Improvements
When the governor of great state has himself
locked in prison CELL observes its narrowness, it's
lack of ventilation, etc., he gets some idea why the
percentage of reformed criminals is so small and why
sickness and morbldness is prevalent. When he
realizes that of the inmates occupy such cell
for five, ten and twenty years, he gets concrete
idea of what prison life to the first offender.
sane discussion of this question is bound to
produce beneficial results. just at present the
people of Minnesota contemplate passing law to
benefit the wives and families of those who in
carcerated by giving them part OF the prisoners
earnings. It is very likely that such law will be
placed on the statute books of this state for it has
been generally conceded that the suggestion is just
and necessary one. Let us hope that this discus
sion will continue. No reform is possible unless
preceded by public enlightenment.

Labor ADDNZZed.

LABOR appalled,.
In the. conviction of Messrs. Gompers Mitchell,
and Morrison for contempt labor organizations have
received the worst setback they have had in several
decades These men are the presiding officials Of
the American Federation of Labor, which is one of
the most powerful organizations in this country.
The case has been appealed, and during the mean
time President Roosevelt will be called upon by the
united labor organizations of the country to exercise
his pardonng power in behalf of the convicted men.
In case these men compelled to serve the
sentence of the lower court-twelve, nine, and six
nonths-we can look for labor as body entering
politics with great activity. Also, their mprson-
ment would have considerable influence in adding to
the ranks of the disconnected, or augmenting the
mum bers in the socialistic fold.

one of his inscrutabe smiles. The timber in Mr..

good indication of his against violators of

AN unusual contest is scheduled to take place at
Billings Mont, in the near future. A rival safe
manufacturer has challenged his competitor to a
test each to endeavor to blow open the others SAFE
The exhibition will be open to the public and great
interest is being manifested as to the outcome AS
an advertising scheme this method Of proving the
superiority of their safes will be very gratifying to
the successful competitor, as it will mean almost a
monopoly of the safe business in that locality.
Now if these experts do not succeed in blowing
open each others safe, it would be good idea to
place thousand dollars in the "boxes," and then
advertise for clever yegg men to come and get
it. Such test would be very convincing to bank
e1s and others who safes. Burglar-proof safes
are not always what they claimed to be, for few
of them cany.withstand the operation of clever
