PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME.

Dungeon, starvation, silence, the
solitary cell, darkness and corporal
punishment have been largely dis
credited in American reformatories,
according to the report of the commit
tee on reformatory work and parole
made to the American Prison associa-
ton.
This is encouraging. It has taken a
long time to break away from the Gus
toms established by our remote ances-
tors, but fortunately the world does
not stand still or move backwards.
We of this generation will not live
to see it, but the time will come when
the people of the United States will be
sufficiently Christianized to do away
with every form of punishment as
such.
Restraint of those who offend
against the common welfare is neces-
sary and proper, but punishment, as
such, never did and never can do any
good. Even Spain is generally con-
sidered the least enlightened and pro-
gressive of all the European countries
has abolished the death penalty.
We do not punish the insane, the
idiotic or people otherwise deficient.
We restrain and take care of them.
Why then should the unfortunate
criminal be singled out for the whip
ping post and the dungeon?
The old system of dealing with law
breakers is a confession of weakness
and incompetency to which the public
has not liked to subscribe.
That punishment of others does not
deter the criminally inclined when at
large is amply illustrated by the fire.
quent stories of lynchings in the coun-
try. Instead of hanging or burning
the offender at the stake, it probably
would prove much more effective to
simply render him incapable of repeat
ing his crime.

MORE WAYS THAN ONE.

That some way can be found. al
ways, to do things needfuL when a
community is wide awake and deter
mined, is well illustrated by a report
from the American consul at Nogales.
He made a visit to the mining town of
Cananea in the state of Sonora, and
this is what he found:
The city of Cananea is divided into
two sections-the Mesa or residence
portion, and the Ronquillo, or bust
ness portion-sep arated by a steep hill,
which has been a great impeachment to
traffic. To overcome this difficulty, a
street is being cut through the hill by
city convict labor a distance of 1,640
feet, with a width of 50 feet. The ex-
cavatiOn will be 80 feet deep, and on a
cross street a stone bridge will be
erected rs feet wide. The sides of the
cut will be walled with concrete, with
a concrete coping four feet high.
Granatoid sidewalk will be laid on
both sides of this street for a dis
lance of ten blocks $3.50 feeD 10
feet wide
Three public school buildings will be
erected, with a capacity for accommo-
dating, respectively, 800, 200 and 100
pupils. For the maintenance of these
schools the municipal authorities. with
the approval Of congress, have levied
a monthly school tax upon all en-
ployees, the tax-25 cents gold per
month for each employee whose
and so cents per month for all whose
wages are $50 or nore-to be with

TRAINING THE uAND

Manual trainingsin the public schools
has made considerable progress in this
country in the past few years, but it
must be regarded as still in it's in
fancy when compared with the work
that is being done in Germany.
The report on the organization and
curricula of the Compulsory Trade and
Continuation Schools for Boys in Mum
ich has just been received in this coun-
try. In characteristic German style
every detail of a complicated and
thoroughgoing organization of the pub
lie school system of Munich to provide
adequate training in 81 different trades
and occupations has been set forth.
From the mechanical trades requiring
the longest apprenticeship and the
greatest basis Of scientific knowledge
down to such occupations as hair
dressing and waiting on table, provis-
lon Is made for the compulsory at
tendance of every boy in Munich. There
is hardly trade that can be named
which is susceptible of adaptation to
purposes of instruction that has not
been provided for. Such thorough
going provision for industrial education
is considered responsible for the mar
Vicious commercial expansion of Gen
many during the last 20 years.

q great area, and incidentally furnish
Ing some much-needed waterpower.
In theory the scheme is simple. The
lake is salt because it has no
outlet. The evaporation over SO great
an era at a high altitude as this COW
ers offsets the inflow. This process,
continued through unnumbered CEN
turtles, has left a basin of very salt
water. 1t is now proposed to construct
a dixie, by the aid of several islands
already there. to shut off the eastern
corner Of the lake, where all affiuents,
curiously enough. enter. Such a lake
would have an outflow substantially
equal to it's inflow, and so after it had
become fresh would remain so, just
like any other normal body Of water.
Its level would be raised somewhat
higher than the Salt Lake nearby. To
that ancient body the overflow would
drop, after such of it as was needed
for irrigation had been withdrawn. The
fall between the two lakes would fur
nish electric power. The strip of ter
ritory between the two would become
a unique inland summer resort, with
salt water on one side and fresh water
on the other, although one not entire
ly unknown at the seacoast. stipend

not prove more ambitious than the

Health as a Public Asset.

The Pennsylvania state board of
health reports that the expenditure of
100000 in four years in the inter
est of the public health has resulted in
saving $23,O0O,0OO to the common
wealth.
This is conservation of a most desir-
able quality. 1t goes toward main
tanning those greatest resources of a
state which lie in a people rich in
physical and mental well-being.
The Pennsylvania board has fought
diphtheria effectively with antitoxin. 1t
has reduced the death rate from con-
sumption, the white plague" from
134 to 120 per thousand, and is about
to do better by adding two new tuber-

GLOBE SIGHTS.

sion, and when a man is entitled to
pension, he gets it.

which has almost been forgotten, at
tracts lot of attention and some
praise, but he isn't as deserving as the
man who pays promptly.

keep ter it until we get it. Miss
Anna Ellis Dexter and Mrs. Alois
Philip will please take notice.
The ugIiest sign in Atchison was

of the best sign writer's in Chicago.

When a woman's Cry goods bill
amounts to $50, she finds considerable
consolation when her husband grum-
bles in the reflection that he would
grumble just as much if it were only
$25.
An Atchison man says that in one
block today he was expected to ad-
mire q worthless looking little dog,
the pet OF friend; to laugh at three
sympathize with a man who has
hives; to become excited over a
friends baby who at seven months has
two teeth, and to rave over an ordi-

orchard.

town and trade? Are the town peo-
pie never to get q chance at the

THE LESSON.

THE LESSON.
I did not know the sky could be
So very soft, so very blue;
I did not know the land and sea
Could spread so fair before my view,
Until 1 learned one cloudless day
To Danish hatred from my heart,
To put my foolish doubts away,
And bid my envy to depart.
I did not know how richly I
With priceless gifts had been endowed
With health and strength, I knew moi
why
I might be glad and brave and proud
Until 1 learned to cease to grieve
Because some other won success,
But strove the harder to achieve
The fair rewards of worthiness
