The Woman in Prison.

The matron Of the woman's indus

has written a paper, the result of her
years spent in controlling and endeav-
oring to better her charges. She as
serts that women prisoners are very
difficult to manage. Many years ago
the great prison reformer, Brockway,
then In charge Of the house of correc-
ton in Detroit, said. in speaking of
women sent there, that they nearly al

result of further offense-and because,

The Constitution.

Representative Sfsson OF Mississippi
has reintroduced resolution in the
house to inquire into the constitution
atty of the 14th and 18th amendments
to the constitution. One Of the alleged
grounds of the resolution is that the
legislatures OF North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia, that ratified the
amendments, were under "carpet-bag''
control
Another fs that New Jersey, Ohio
and Oregon withdrew their ratification.
1t would not be surprising If this res
olutfon should be an incentive to Rep
resentative Crumpacker OF Indiana to
bring In again his bill or resolution to
reduce the representation in congress
in accordance with the number of
votes cast at the polls, and not In &C
cordance with population.

other. II the constitution is not con-

THE Party Of lincoln. !"

The name OF Lincoln is given to the
republican party frequently when the
bad principles and bad methods OF the
party are made manifest The party
in the days Of Lincoln stood for re-
form and progress Today its leaders
are using it to foster monopolies and
class interests. Great corporations and
combinations OF wealth are getting an
Unjust share of the profits of Industry,
while the great army of workers have
to pay high prices for all the necessi-
ties Of life with wages generally mad

ditions. and were he alive today it is
uncomfortable that he would be work
ing with Taft, Cannon, AIdrich and
that sort Of men In defeating real gov

rs nothing to say against the rank and
file OF the republican party. Those
who constitute the mass OF voters Of
all parties are honest and patriotic.

Governor and Atlanta Mayor Refuse

Atlanta, Ga, March 16.-Governor
Joe Brown of Georgia and Mayor Rob
ert Maddox of Atlanta have declined
to introduce Commander Peary when
he lectures here this evening because
they say he has not produced the Es-

gave as his reason that Peary was
coming to Atlanta as a private citizen
on a money making proposition and
was in no sense a guest of Atlanta.

Meanwhile Josselyn stood looking at

a guy of himself with look OF humor-
Gus triumph in his eye. She drew a
long breath OF relief, and gradually an
unwilling though radiant smile forced
itself over her features. When silence
was restored he concluded his speech
by stating that the object Of his life
had been to write a successful play,
and this hearts desire had been ac-
complished. Then, thanking them for
their appreciation, he bowed, retired,

found Miss Sweetland sitting behind a
curtain and took a seat beside her.
Notwithstanding the fact that all eyes
were upon him, beneath the balcony
that concealed him from his chest
downward he felt a soft hand stealing
into his. His face broke into a charm

to itself, gave three hearty cheers for
the playwright
When the curtain went down on the

that the play would be a success they

the dreaded critics all gave favorable
notices, and from that time for months
the box office was crowded.
