THE LITTLE HE'D Cross STAMP.

THE LITTLE RED CROSS STAMP.
\ correspondent Of The Timcs-Dis

of Richmond use the little Red Cross
stamp on each letter sent out by them
on Christmas Eve. She makes this
further suggestion: should they also
use them the Red Cross stamps) on

be made forward by this state" Then
our correspondent puts the case in this
way:
Turkey has Cholera; why do the
young Turks not wipe II out? America
las the White Plague; why do the
American business men not stamp 1t
out with the little Red Cross stamps?
Only two days use in year, yet with
what effect
The little Red Cross Stamps cost very
little, but every little helps in the
greatest effort that has ever been
made for the rescue of the human race
from its most insidious and destructive
enemy. 1t is hoped that every iner-
chant and business man in Richmond
will put little Red Cross stamp on
every letter mailed by him every. day
this week and next week. and every
man, woman and child in the town
also, so that the work of driving out
the White Plague may be advanced for

This incident and the remarks OF

that the judicial Office Is one which

FOR great daily labor. The judicial

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE

CDEItI<S.
Mr. Taft is to be most heartily com
flendcd for his efforts to compel more
economical administration Of the Gov
ernmcnt ut Washington This result
Is possible in several ways; by the
discharge OF inefficient and unneces-
sary clerks. the abolition OF many
sinccurcs, and longer hours for those
employed by the Government. 1t can
be done and Is. in fact being done
without imposing hardship upon any
of the clerks and without delaying the
public business.
During the last year, Postmaster
General Hitchcock has done wonders
With the postal service by the appli-
cation of business methods to the af-
fairs of his Department and has con-
vcrted liability into an asset and

million dollars appropriated By tho

agcmcnt of his predecessors in Office.
Combinations In restraint of Office
holding are being made by other De-
partments and only the other day the
fiat went forth that the clerks at
Washington were to put in an extra
half hour or so daily in such work
as they are supposed TO do for wages
which many OF them could not make
doing as little at anything else There
has been some complaint about this
eNaction of the Government, and some
that this additional half hour would
interfere with the time which they
have heretofore been able TO devote to
tho business of shopping. 1t is a
hard fate, VIC admit; but the nccessi-
ties of the Government are great and
must be regarded even at the risk of
causing discomfort 10 a noble army
of clerks. some Of whose number. VIC
have been led to think, have been
educated into the belief that the public
business is at best only of secondary
Importance. relatively speaking.
The Government employees ought to
be we'll paid, and generally speak
ing. they are well paid. but in some
cases, it seems to us, tina; they do not
set what should be coming to them.
Take the case of the railway mail
employees. They are engaged in a
hazardous business, and we believe
that the Postmaster General would
find upon careful examination that
they are frequently overworked. Long
runs and steady work, while
they are on the road and special calls
from time to time make their lot not
a very happy one. we are inclined to
think Their case is recommended to
the authorities for such consideration
as It's apparently substantial merits
would Justify. We would not make
favorites of them; there are doubtless
many of them who are not especially
fitted for the strenuous life they lead; ;

BAnBARITY IL INDIANA.

mittcc appointed by the Indiana FEEDER

diana Reformatory at Jeffersonviile
that almost make the blood run cold
Here is what he has said about it:
Corporations holding labor con-
tracts set the daily tasks of convicts
so high that ii is practically impos-
sblc for them TO get in any extra
work for which they would be paid
cash. In November the total extra re-
Enumeration at the reformatory was
SIS. Poor material inefficient ma
prisoners doing any work for them
selves Nearly three hundred boys are
employed on the contract for shirts
and overalls The task is twelve shirts

demanded and If not completed the
prisoner is sent to the hole which Is
q circular cell barely large enough for
q mans body on the barred door are
two iron bound gloves, and into these
the prisoners hands arc fitted and
locked. There the prisoner stands. un-
able TO change his position. The aver
age commitment is two days, and In
that time all the food he receives is
little cornbread and water. Nine out
of ten are taken to the hospital when
released. and there have been instances
where the prisoners legs have swollen
and burst open while standing locked
to the cell door
That is not q record, surely, Of
which any civilized state could be
proud, and it has been made at a Re
formatory' where men are confined for
the purpose of helping them to be-
better citizens, rather than for bar
baric punishment. II represents a con-
dtlon not to be found In any ono of
