The adherents of the sd-called Penn sylvania~ System" and the so-called Auburn System were numerius. The
 contest between the merits of the two syteTns was so keen that for several decades most European countries built their prisons according to the Penn syIvania Plan or the Auburn plan. To day most of the European prisons are built on notifications of the one sys- tenn Or the other.
 The United States has contributed to the world the refornatory system as developed at E1mira, N. Y., Concord, Mass, Huntington, Pa, and elsewhere. The reformatory system has it's fundamental principles the theory that the prisoner should be held in the Re- fornatory so long as he has not given evidence of his reforma tion. This re- quires an 1ndet er1ninate sentence: for instance, a man committed to Elmira Reformatory is committed without fix ed sentence. He can be held there by the Board of Managers until the ex- piration of the maximum sentence which the law imposes for the crime which he has committed. On the other hand, by a carefully worked out sys- tenn of rewards, marks, etc, a young man can make his way through FL mira in about thirteen months.
 The prisons of Europe have not adopted this reformatory system to the extent of it's adoption in the United States. Prisoners in European coun- tries may be liberated conditionaily, but reformatory influences in Euro? !? pean prisons are not considered to be So strong as in our American institu- tions; therefore one of the chief inter ests of the European visitor will be in the refornaatory system Then again, in the United States, there has devel- oped. the great modern system of treat ing child delinquents in the Juvenile Court, often called the Children's Court. In this matter Americans are believed to be far aheed of their Eu- ropean brethren. The work which Judge Lindsey, Judge Mack and other judges in Children's Courts have done has spread it's fame throughout the civilized world.
 At the International Prison Congress four general sections will be held. The first will relate to the administration of criminal law, the. second section to the administration of prisons, the third section to the prevention of crime. and the fourth section to the treatment of juvenile delinquents. The question of crime is no longer a question of pri- sons. The question of crime today is not simply question of prisons It is as wide as the whole Held of delin- quency- That is the reason why one thousand students of crime and of de- hnquency from all over the United States and from foreign countries are to gather at Washington in this great congress in October.

Another question of veracity has arisen in the Ballinger -Pinchot-G -Glavis investiga In his statement to the President, Secretary Ba1linger asserted that he (then Lsnd Con1missioner) in formed MT. Garfield Chen Secretary of the Interfor) of Glavis' protest against clear-listing the Cunningham claims and advised holding-up of the patents. Now Ex-Secretary Garfield testifies that mo such conference ever took place. and that he knew nothing of the. original order ''clear listing the Cunningham claims. and would not have approved any such action and all along had believed that the claims should not proceed to patent.
 MT. Garfield is an unimpeachable witness. And still President Taft re- tafns Ba1linger in his Cabinet. It would be interesting to learn how and why Ballinger secured his appointment to the Cabinet position which deals directly with these disputed Cunning ham claims. and also whether the Morgan -Guggenheim interests. said to be behind these claims exercised any potent influence in the matter.

 Embroidered linen waists will con tinue in style this summer. An ex- ceeding1y pretty model opens a little to the left of the front, the entire front being rich in hardWork.
 The vogue of the jabot is threatened by the fashion Of having coats cut which is so high necked as to make the jabot impossible.
 However elaborate scarf may be in itself Or in it's trimming, the edge is usually finished with selvage all around The selvage varies from a quarter or two inches in width.
 While flowers of tulle and other transparent stuffs will be in favor this spring and summer for hat trimmings, those fashioned of braid will be consid- cred especially dressy.

 front is in general favor just now. It is rot unlike last years washerwoman skirt in style, and is indistinctly relat- ed to the long and overused Moyen age style.
 The long gathered or puffed sleeve. completed by three or four-inch close-fitting cuff, almost identical with that which had such vogue several years ago, is now being inserted in the newest shirtwaists.
 The scarf cape is made Of single piece of satin a yard and a quarter wide and over twice as long. This is edged with several rows of marabou. When draped gracefully over the shouI- ders it is most fascinating.
 Tunics vary in length to suit the taste and height of the wearer. Some extend to within a few inches of the hem of the gown while others come but a few inches below the waist line. The lower edge, seemingly, may be as unusual in it's outline as the wearer desires.

It appears that the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co, whose refusal to arbitrate it's differences with it's em- ployess has plunged that city into grave disorders and caused the loss of millions to it's business and n1anufac- turing interests, is capitalized at $S4,- 100000.

The town of Darien complains of neglect in the matter of new State roads No. such road has been built in that town for eight or ten years, although during that period two appli- catfcns have been made for an allot- ment of State road money. Stamford is allotted for this year $1OoO0. and the Advocate says:
 The SeIectmen hope that the High way Commissioner will build State roads this year. They do not know that he will. They have absolutely nothing to do about it. The Commis- sfoner makes the survey, calls for bids, superintends the work, and finally ac- cepts it.. The town simply pays its share

The Governm entss brief in the Stan dard Oil case, now before the U. S. Supreme court. contains the follow ing

Adding the profits of 1907 and statement. but from the testimony of MT. Rockefeller we may assume them to be as much as the profits of 1906) we have substantially billion dollars seven years with an original invest ment of about $6e. 100000. But the real significance of these earnings is seen vixen we take the last ten or twelve years after the monopoly had been well established. For the ten years ended with 1906 the earnings were $598, 8,226, ,52566. practically $60, ,000,- 900 @ year on the investment of $69,- 000, 900, the capitalization being $97,- 25o GOO part of the time and a little more the rest of the time.
 Reaching the matter of dividends, the Government brief states that from 1882 to 1908. the Standards dividends averaged 24 per cent. a year on the capitalization. and during the eleven years ended with 1908 the annual divi- dends were from 31 to 4s per cent This, however, the brief continues, represents but little more than one half the earnings. for the percentage of net earnings to the capital stock during the last eight years has been from 57 to S4.5 per cent''
 Is it at all wonderful that the pri- vate fortune of the principal figure in Standard Oil, Mir. Rockefeller, ap- breaches the billion dollar mark?
