y" HE responsibilities Of fatherhood
bring out the best traits in g
man. The man with a baby. Il
he is a man at all. realizes that life is
an earnest. essential, vital affair to
which he must give the best that is in
him.
Parenthood brings home to him the
true value Of time and makes him con-
slider the future. He knows that he
can no longer drink and make merry,
only enjoying the pleasures of the day.
The baby is the balance wheel which
regulates the momentum of a mans
life and steadies the inner mechanism
so that the outer movement is correct.
Baby Makes a Change.
When the baby comes there is a
Transformation, often in the character
of the widest Individual Nothing
has such a SOLDERING influence.
The drinker is more likely to shun
the sparkling glass. the gambler for
sake the green tables and the race
ira ckl and those of wavering steps are
falteringly up the straight path of a
new life.
The man with baby has the best
incentive in life to do and dare. Rich
ard Brinsley Sheridan tells us that he
would have given up the practice of
law after his first case if he had not
felt his children tingling at his gown
for bread.
The employer will tell you that a
man with baby as a rule gives great
er satisfaction than one without such
a blooming responsibility. He Is more
diligent in his labors, more eager to
please, has always before him a motive
not to lose his job.
Baby Teaches Many Lessons.
The man whom the baby does not
save is damned sure enough.
The baby not alone enables the faith
er to lead a moral. clean, upright and
manly life. but it teaches him the gold
en- lesson of economy. It is thought Of
a baby that lays the foundation OF the
savings bank account
A baby famine would be greater
calamity to this country than +4e
worst fina disaster. The babies
are the best national asset we have.
and worth more than all the crops put
together, for without them the produce
is valueless.
Corn has been crowned king, but
the baby strips the crown from the
cereal and places it on it's own brow
Take away the baby and we have no
sovereign to whom we can bend the
knee in homage.
What would we be without his cher
ub throne? The light would be dark
ened and life would lose it's usefulness
and its pleasures.

EVERYONE stands at sometime in
=, his life among the ruins Of the
house he built
Perhaps 1T Is only a house Of
cards. poor, pitiful, vain thing that
puff of the wind OF vanity, or a mere
caprice may have scattered about his
feet. Or it may have been the sub
'stantial structure that represented the
labor of half or two-thirds of his life.
But 1t is his house. and it has fallen,
and even though he were a giant OF
strength and resource he is, when that
house falls, a pitiful thing.
The house may be hope that has
failed. 1t may be an Illusion he has
cherished and seen to vanish. 1t may
be belief in a person or thing 1t
may be the wife he has loved, the chill
dren he has reared, the fortune he has
acquired. But it is ruined. and he
looks about him with the madness and
despair of a man who Is sinking in the
quicksand.
What shall he do? He would better
first decide what not TO do. For what
has befallen him he is likely to blame
someone not himself. And perhaps the
person he blames deserves his censure
He must not paint the world with the

of public money. Naturally the causes
of crime are in dispute. Students of
the question divide roughly into two
groups, those emphasizing the in
dividual causes of crime, and those OF
her maintaining social origin. The
first claim that the criminal is born not
made. He is q criminal by nature.
They cite the criminal, Max Jukes as
proof, 709 of whose 1900 descendants
were traced. Everyone of the 709, Ell
ther committed crimeor become pub
lie charge or suffered some nervous dis.
order. The second group maintain that
causes lying outside the individual,
such as poverty, climate. lack of edu-
cation are responsible. The question
is further conflicated for the student of
world conditions by the fact that in no
two countries is criminal law the same,
in no two countries is criminal proceed
ure identical, in no two countries is an
offense regarded with equal gravity.
Until there can be greater agreement
than these facts indicate the difficult
question will never be satisfactorily
settled.
The criminoloist however has called
attention to peonage in the South, con-
vict labor, the immoral effect of public
executions the satisfactory results of
indeterminate sentences, the abolition
of cruel punishments. sanitation of
prisons, the parole system, separation
tof the sexes, the appointment of police
'matrons and other points. The Grimm
ologist has insisted that the warden be
not selected for his brute qualities put
for his mental quality. He must be
man of education, student of
society, a penologist. Reform, not retri-
button, must be his motive. He must
realize that out in the world economic
conditions are hard and the temptation
to crime great. He must know that
criminal trials are imperfect, that
judges are human. and sentences some
times unjust. He must recognize
crime as moral disease, and the Grim
inal sick man. He must know that
it is better to nurse than to punish,
better to cure than to kill, better to

Prison Reform
By liner Johnson


To the student of history the word
prison might suggest the ''Black Hole
of Calcutta where on June 20th l756.
lag Englishmen were confined in a
room 20 feet square. l23 of these men
died in one night of thirst, heat. pres
sure and want of air. Or it might
suggest Libby Prison at Richmond,
Va, a four story building used chiefly
and disease shattered the health of
many and killed many more. Or
Andersonville, Ga, may come to nina.
an enclosure of q acres, holding at
a times 10000 northern soldiers. For
maliciously conspiring to injure the
health and destroy the lives of Urion
men, the prison Supt. in 1865 wasicon-
victed by special military court and
hanged. The Towers of London, the
Bastille Of Paris, the Seven Towers of
Constantinople and the Austrian Castle
of Spielburg are other famous prisons.
But these We're rather places of deten-
ton. The modern prison is also a
place of reformation, reformation
thro the efforts ofexpett crimlnologists
who have brought all the light of his
tory and common sense and humanity
to bear on the subject. reformation
thro parole and indeterminate sent
ences and Juvenile Courts and the
square deal and clear surroundings.
Only in recent times have men
thought it worth while to study crime
and criminals. In the last few years it
was recognized that in general. society
was more responsible for wrong doing
than the dooer himself. Notwithstand-
ing the recognition crimes continue to
increase as fast as population increases,
and to protect the people penal intitu-
tion have been built at great expense
