ADVANCING PENAL POLICY.

The old idea that the only thing to
! do with almost any lawbreaker was to
put him 10 death-Lord Peterborough
said that If the death penalty for petty
! thefts was abolished no man in England
could sleep safely III his bed-WaS long
ego abandoned, and now similar dispo-
| sition seems about to be made of the
notion that every fclon and misdemean-
ant must, as a matter of necessity and
| of course be sent to prison for punish
ment. IN America the various systems
OF Juvenile courts, reform schools, pro-
baton and parole have been extensively
tried, largely with happy results. Now
q noteworthy scheme of prison reforms,
which has been formulated by that ver-
satile ard energetic radica! statesman,
Mr.. Winston Churchill. is about to be
tried in Great Britain-provided that
Parliament enacts the bill which he is
about TO introduce, as il probably Will.
The prime motive Of this measure is
not 50 much TO punish as TO diminish
crime and its evil consequences, Mr..
Churchill has discerned what has, in
deed, been obvious 20 the world, that I'M
rrisonment confirms the prisoner in crime
moro often than it converts him from
It, while it usually imposes hardshipE
upon other persons, and, Of course, Is an
expense to the state. Accordingly, he
aims at keeping as many out Of prison
as possible. Last year ninety thousand
persons were sent to prison in default Of
paying fines. of whom nearly fourteen
thousand paid their fines after some
Imprisonment. He thinks that it would
have been better TO give them time to
pay without going to prison at all, and
that if such time were given much
greater number would pay their fines.
Again. Mr.. Churchill purposes to abolish
Imprisonment altogether, excepting in a
few very grave cases, for first offenders
under twenty-one years OF age, substi-
tuting for it sort of probation which
terms "defauiters' drill" In this way
about five thousand lads yearly will be
saved from becoming "jail birds"
Some features Of the scheme will
doubtless be sharply challenged and per-
haps rejected. We are not sure that all
men will agree with Mr. Churchill In
holding that political offences, including
breaches Of order and peace and even
rioting, Involve no moral turpitude"
and are therefore to be dealt With with
special leniency. There will also be
doubts Of the prudence of abolishing the
whole system Of police supervision of
released convicts, though the experiment
OF turning such persons over TO semi
official benevolent agencies may be worth
making and may prove successful But.
on the whole, the spirit Of the scheme is
SO admirable and the letter of It seems
70 largely practicable that it will com
mand the sympathetic attention of Gil
men who believe in the diminution of
crime and the reformation of the way

PICTTRE POSTCARDS.

Tue picture postcard manufactured is
your real modern explorer. You may
t1atter yourself that you have made q
discovery when YOU happen, In the
course of q foot tour. upon neighbOr-
hood SO remote that neither you nor any
Of YOUR acGuaintances has ever heard of

you will find the picture postcard await

It's manufacturer has been there before

Caught with his camera all its secrets
Of rustic charm and quiet, all its quaint
delights of creeper-coYered clapboard
architecture.
Nothing escapes the man with the
commercial camera. He anticipates de-
mand with an abundant supply. He out
strips the ubiquitous Messrs. Cook. he
supplements Herr Baedeker, he puts to
shame the topogra phical knowledge of
the oldest inhab itant, the sharpened per
ception Of the most romantic couple i'll

Insurance, sewing machine and book
agents are unknown his agents pene-
trate. and return bearing negatives more
profitable than those given by the IA
tive to these others, should they disturb
his simple peace. One sometimes almost
wonders if there are not tricks in this
as in all other trades. Nature repeats
herself more or less in her arrangements
of trees and meadows and purling brooks
against backgrounds of hills. Bathing
teaches have a knack of resembling each
other in the animation of the bathing
hour. Is it possible that sometimes Il
negative is made TO 10 double and triple
service as faithful presentment of
widely separated localities, and under
different names:
Is it the picture itself or the CON
tracted space it leaves for writing that
gives the picture postcard its vogue: Is its
popularity due to the prevalent interest
III illustrations of any and every kind,
or to the fact that it furnishes an &c
ceptable, and accepted, substitute for
social and conjugal correspondence in
marily meet q sentimental or q utitita
rian need2 We know that III its wider
international scope it has still another
fUnction-that of gratifying the vanity
which first found expression in the label
bedecked suitcase. But whatever the
motive, the use of the picture postcard
has become a pretty custom.

adequate that has ever yet been uttered
and was indeed SO admirable that it might
well serve as the ultimate and definitive
Judgment OF history. In saying that it
is necessarily implied that the address
vas not an unalloyed eulogy. as it Ger
tainIy was not an unrelieved criticism.
With singular felicity the speaker re
called the imagery Of the Hebrew
prophet and compared the great idealist
and dreamer, and yet most practical con-
structor, with the colossal figure whose
feet were partly clay aud partly iron,
whose legs were of iron, whose breast
snd arms were Of silver and whose head
was of pure gold That, he said, was the
composition of Rhodes, and as time
passes and bis achievements are seen In
their true irrespective the pure gold Will
dominate all the rest and for 1t alone
will he be remembered.
It was the lot of Rhodes, as 1t was OF
Sir George Grey. with whom alone III
South African history is he TO be COM
pared, to be and TO plan and to act
ahead of bis time, and it was true of
him, as it often is Of men ahead OF their
| times, that he impatiently sought to
urge his vast schemes TO fulfilment by
means which were not free from re-
preach. But none will dispute that
every scheme Of his In craftsmanship, In
race Cancellation, in commonwealth con-
struction, was unselfish and benevolent
in the highest degree, and that the fulfil
1nent Of his plans. which has postum
mously been effected with amazing
exactness, is entirely and enormously for
the good of the land. His grave is In
the Matoppo Hills and his statue IS in
the Cape Town Gardens, but his real
memorial Is the Union of South Africa.
