THE AUGUST HARPOON
 A WARM NUMBER
It Gives Promise of More Intense Heat
 in October.

The August number of the Harpoon for postoffice clerks is more than a harpoon it is a stingaree in capital 1 letters. In the July number the liar poon presented half tone of bottled rat" saying that Iced rate with hair | on will be served you (P. O. @ by the | U. $. r. O. D. as long as you (P.

In the July mum Der it was stated that not mail car in the United States was equipped with ! flushing closet. A protest was made stating that a serious error had been made---lhat there were THREE. It tells of the general cleaning up that is being made throughout the mail service as to sanitation, not only in the mail cars, but in pOstoffices. It reprOduces form letter being sent to all of the health boards of the coun try and a fac-simile from the CalifOr- mia state board of health. or the coming number for october the Harpoon says: "The october num- Der will tell the public what it needs

 Mir Frederick H. Merrick has been engaged as a Washington correspond ent, a live wire who is now carrying On a campaign in behalf of the 500 girls who toll in the bureau of print ing and engraving.

 Well, should say so. I understand that in nine cases in ten the man is carried away insensible, and sometimes spent days in the hospital. If he died l don't know how the facts would be known. 'Tis but a man gone-and he a convict.
 With neither fear nor favor and with that courage which has come to be the marked characteristic of Hamp- tons magazine, MT. Russell describes many another torture now inflicted in our jails. Among these is the terrible "humming bird." and another is the paddle" Of this latter instrument MT. Russell says:
 The paddle is not very formidable instrument to look at, but something perfectly typical of the whole business of prison punishment pertains to it. That is to say, it is frankly exhibited as thing necessary to maintain dis cipline, but used sparngly and inflict- ing more humiliation than pain. You take it and belike slap yourself on the hand with it or on the leg. It does not seem to hurt. But you are never told that in the old days at least after it had been soaked in hot water it was dipped in hot sand, nor that with each blow the operator gave it slight pull across the flesh so that each blow broke the skin and brought blood. This fact is not confided to you, nor the other, that this is why convicts were not able to sit down after they had been padded. and this is why there was no place left to paddle" on the man in the affidavit-Hamp- tons Magazine.

By those that have suffered this treatment the sensations are said to be indescribably horrible. In spite of his reason, the victim feels that with the most ex- cruciating pains he is being tortured to death.

"cURING" A CRIMINAL.

Most newspaper readers remember the scandal of the water cure in the Philippines. but still more will be amazed to learn that this same "cure," |" in a worse form, is now administered in American prisons. The authority for the statement that such tortures are exacted is, however, no less a per
 son than that trained investigator, Charles Edward Russell. In the course of a startling article in Hampton's Magazine MT. Russell thus describes

some of these cruelties:

In his speech at Seattle. President Taft expressed his approval of a
 'bil which should regulate our mer- chant marine in such way so as to establish American lines between New York and other ports and SouthaAm- erican ports and between our coast ports and the Orient and the Philip pines''-that is, the long discussed ship subsidies bill-and to pay these subsidies he would use the profit from our foreign mails of from six to eight million dollars a year. He req sons that this procedure would not be any more of Ca contribution to pri- vate companies out Of the U. s. Treas ury'' than are our similar contribu- tions "by our protective tariff laws, by our river and harbor bills, and by our reclamation service.'' Protectionists are likely to take sharp exception to this reference to the tariff, and the Post Office department which is mak- ing strenuous endeavors to abate it's heavy annual deficit may not be pleased over the diversion of some six or eight millions from its revenue to private companies
