gratitude than hate, better to give pity
than blows. The prison Supt. has thus
the opportunity for the highest social
service. He can elevate his prisoners by
educating them and send them out into
the world again with money, confidence
and hope.
Within the past few years special
provision has been made for juvenile
offenders the humanitarian move
ment of the last century has led to un-
usual interest in the welfare of children.
Offenders could not be treated as cri-
minals not knowing fully the difference
between right and wrong. The under
lying principle of treatment is that bad
environment rather than natural tenden-
cy is responsible. This bad environ
ment is removed SO far as possible.

4 Vanishing Race
By Irene Lavelle

bS L1velt
History furnishes numerous eases of
a people suffering at the hands of a
stronger race. The Moors endured
cruel oppression until 1909 when they
We're driven out of Spain into Northern
Africa, where they are today a con-
siderable part of the population. The
Babylonian exile signifies the end of
the national independence of the He
hrews. Today they are scattered all
over the world yet retaining individ-
uality and purity of, blood. The
American Indian once lord of the con-
tinent has been driven westward and
today is confined to reservations, ravaged
by disease ard rapidly losing those
qualities which make him an Indian.
The Red Men resented the coming of
the White Man whose g4od intentions
he did not understand and was gradu-
ally displaced in obedience to that i'm
mutable law of the survival of the
fittest. Payment was sometimes made
Tor the laNd but IN most case the sales
were far from voluntary.
Cooper in his Last of the Mohicans
has pictured for posterity the dis
possession of the first tribe. in his
winning of the West, Roosevelt tells
about the obstacles of frontier life.
Parkman in Conspiracy of Pontiac con.
trasts the English and French way OF
dealing with Indians. Instances citeo
by these authors are typical of what
came afterward in the eXerence OF
many tribes.
Heroic figures of red men color the
pages of history, King Philips Wan
ended in 1878 with the annihlation OF
all tribes but Mohawks in the limits OF
New England. Anthony Wayne deal,

CAS-. supported in fort by subscription,
gymnasiums where boys may exercise
evenings, the boy scout movement,
summer camps, general recognition
by parents that home must be made
attractive for the boy-these and other
things which might be mentioned are
robbing the prison of it's human toll,
and giving the boy his rights.
But the reformation and prevention
movement is getting results also among
men criminals. Society has recognized
that man is never too old to reform.
If his ancestors were criminals and his
early life spent in wrong doing, he
offers the most resistance to reform.
Once convince him that everybody is
not against him, constantly stimulate
him, and watch him, give him con-
genial employment and he generally
goes right afterwards. The indeter-
inmate sentence, decreed by wise
judge, served in an institution where
prisoners are kept at work and not
allowed to be idle, where expert sani-
tary precautions are observed, has
worked wonders among our present
day law breakers. The term OF con-
finement is shortened because of good
behavior, trade is learned, wages
are earned and kept in trust until re-
lease, the culprit learns self respect,
he gets confidence in his own ability to
go straight, and confidence in his fel-
lows because he is given the square
deal. The exploitation of prisoners by
jail boarding house keepers is becoming
rare. Wretched fare of bygone years
is now largely replaced by nourishing
diet, dirty narrow dark cells are going
out of fashion. In short reformation
not punishment is the watchword.
Society has much to hope from this
enlightened policy of dealing with law
breakers. Hope, because the civic
self examination places the blame
where it belongs; hope, because pre-
vention of crime is vastly more in
telligent method of reformation than
punitive methods; hope, because taxes
collected to carry on our criminal
courts may soon be spent for in worthier
causes; hope because mankind Will be
elevated.

WABASH RECOGNIZES THE
SYSTEM FEDERATION

The Wabash railroad yester-
day signed an agreement recog-
nizing the system federation of
the crafts employed on its line,
and agreeing to transact all bust
ness between the employees and
the road through the federation.
The contract, which was signed
at Springfield at a meeting of the
road officials and committee
from the different crafts, applies
principallysto the recognition of
the federation, and in only a few
isolated points were wage and
working conditions gone into.
Henceforth any wage or hour
differences will be settled through
the federation, the crafts signing
contracts with the road as body.
The signing of the agreement
yesterday ends a dispute that has
lasted for months, and at one time
threatened to result in an open
rupture, the men considering
striking to force the issue
