Farm or WOrkhouse.

Kansas City has had one year of expe-
rience with farm which was established
to take the place of the municipal work
house. The results of her first wears
trial have been more satisfactory than the
most sanguine advocates of the plan had
dared hope. The report shows that
while the workhouse cost the CITY S22o a
year per prisoner, the farm has earned
500 year profit for each prisoner. In
other words the actual loss of 90 cents
day per prisoner has been turned into a
profit OF 80 cents day.
The financial gain, however, is the
smallest part of the advantage. The
board Of public welfare reports that the
prisoners have taken the keenest interest
in their work, have shown no desire to
escape, and that many of them have
hurried to the farms as soon as their SEN
fences have been served. The men who,
through dissipation or the commission of
minor offenses, have been sentenced to
wor k on the farm have found the pleasure
and health that comes from employment
in the open. Men employed on the Kan
sas City farm have completed their SEN
fences with coats Of tan, instead of the
pallor that usually marks the discharged
prisoner. Their systems have been toned
up until they are capable of doing an
honest days work and also have the de-
sire to do it. They have learned that
there is moral, as well as physical,
curative in outdoor works.. Paul Pio-

Regulating Food Storage.

New York and New Jersey are making
a Joint study of the evils of cold storage.
A bill has already been introduced at
Albany for its more careful regulation.
Governor Wilson urged a similar measure
in his inaugural address and the New
Jersey legislature is expected to take
action A bill is pending in Congress
looking to a reformation of the same evil.
The question is large one, with many
angles 1t is not so much talked about
as il was a wear ago, but still merits the
attention of legislative bodies.
Cold storage of food products is a
modern necessity. Rightly used, it serves
the public by keeping prices steady, by
storing in the season of plenty for use in
the season of natural shortage No one
argues against cold storage as an institu-
ton 1t is when food is held back in
order to maintain abnormally high prices,
when it is kept so long that it becomes
poisonous, when cold storage is made a
curse instead of a blessing to mankind,
that government must step in with re-
straining hand. The period OF storage
should be strictly limited, and the sale of
stored products rigidly regulated C2e0e-

Public Buildings That Are Not
Needed.

All over the country public buildings
have been erected by act of Congress
and an appropriatiou-that were not
needed at the time. An instance is given
by writer in WotIdS Work.
The postoffice, at certain obscure
county-seat was paying $50 a month rent
A Congressman from that district decided
that it would help the prestige if the gov
eminent should erect handsome public
building in that town. It's cost was
S45 600. The interest on that amount, at
5 per cent, is S225o, and the janitor gets
$50 month. The running expenses of
the office are therefore $3.50, instead of
$500 in the old era"
That is the kind of thing that is going
on continually. President Taft realizes
it, and he has recommended that public
buildings should be constructed hereafter
upon a regular system. We are gradu-
ally getting down to a system in the
dredging Of rivers and harborS. A board
of engineers of the army carefully con-
slider all propositions and reports upon
their feasibility. Until a project has the
sanction of the board it is a pretty diff
cult matter to get an appropriation. So
it should be with public buildings, and so
the President argues.
There should be no disposition to refuse
a growing city a proper postoffice build
ing, but strict business methods ought to
be followed. When they are, Congress
will have before it the report of COM
mission when an application is made for
an appropriation.-Ne7y YORK W0rid.

Our Commercial Cousins.

'COmmerCiaisn is the curse of Ameri-
can life" Those Americans view every
thing from the standpoint of the money
grubber." The land of the dollar. :"
When we hear such pleasant expressions
as these we always know without being
told who is talking. 1t is one of our
English cousins. The French and Ger
mans rarely hand us such thornv bou-
quets. They are frugal, sensible people
themselves and they don't affect to de-
spiSe money and the good things which it
provides They are not ashamed of
wanting to be prosperous and of turning
an honest penny whenever opportunity
offers. The English are just as keen after
the coin as are any other people on this
footslool They have not changed since
Napoleon called them a nation of shop
keepers and, indeed. it is still the boast
OF their after dinner speakers, especially
when the dinner has been a good one.
that theirs is the greatest commercial
nation in the world Taken collectively,
they are proud of their ability to drive
bargain which results in a big national
bank account. but individually, every
mother s son of them pretends that there's
something inherently disgraceful in &C
curing this worlds goods and that all
kinds of lucre are indeed filthy.
Talk about commercialism! When did
Americans ever turn public occasion to
financial profit in the way in which the
English are utilizing the coming corona
ton OF their king? A glance at any one
of the London newspapers, thus far ahead
of the event, shows how Johnny Bull pro-
poses to line his pockets next summer

No Bankers Insanity.

Jerome may rave at Judge and jury, and
the learned alienists engaged in trying to
prove Banker Robin, of New York, insane
may sneer Contemptuously at the verdict
of u commonplace citizens, but people of
good sense everywhere will feel real
satisfaction that man who is accused of
grave acts of dishonesty in fiduciary
capacity must be tired like others and not
be allowed to evade justice by sneaking
for time into a private asylum.

ers' insanity" established as a principle
of justice in this country any more than
we wanted 'dementia Americana" and

Experiencing Difficulty.

Considerable difficulty is being expe-
rienced by John S. Newman and Willard
F. Shafer, receivers of the Brunswick
Savings Bank, in iquidating the affairs of
that institution. One of the latest OBJ
stacles met with is the fact that consider
able number of the notes representing
Indebtedness to the bank are held BY per-
sons whose domiciles are across the line
in Virginia. in which State MANY OF the
depositors live.
Several of the depositors mentioned
have attached the notes held in their
State, claiming that these assets of the
bank are outside of the jurisdiction of the
receivers, and they are in position for
that reason TO make themselves preferred
creditors. which claim if allowed by the
court, will lessen the amount of the ulti-
mate dividend to the other stockholders.
In order TO thwart the plans of the de-
positors in Virginia, application has been
made to the court for the appointment of
an auxiliary receiver in Virginia.
