The recen. outbreaks which have
occurred in several penitentiaries, es-
pecially those in Wyoming during the
past month, have naturally caused the
average citizen to give more consid-
Grafton to the methods of dealing with
human delinquents and the means
taken to protect the public from the
effects of their wrong doing. Conse-
quently, the American Prison associa-
ton, which opens its annual conven-
ton in Baltimore today, will have its
deliberations more in the public lime
light than is usually the case. This
organization, which owes its existence
to the International Prison congress
called in Cincinnati IN 1872, is COM
posed of all the different bodies inter-
ested in prison reform and the safety
and well being of the prisoners, as
well as the prevention of the crimes
for which people are consigned to
terms of imprisonment. 1t includes
as auxiliaries the National Warden's
association, the National Chaplain's
association, the Prison Physicians as
ISOLATION and several others. In ad-
dition, most Of the local organizations
in the different cities, designed for
the aid of prisoners, are also affiliated.
It's work is conducted under the d.
rection of number of standing COM
mittees. These have charge OF the
work along such specific lines as GRIM
inal law reform, prison discipline, pre-
vention and probation, reformatory
work and parole, discharged prisoners,
statistics of crime, and include sew
eral special committees for the inves-
tigation Of the subject of prison labor
and the conditions of jails. lock-ups
and police stations. At present the
entire association is agreed upon three
principles which will form the basis
Of the discussions Of the present con-
vention. These principles are: The
advantages OF the indeterminate SEN
tence; the proper use of the parole;
and the value of probation.
Best Means Of Justice.
The indeterminate sentence has been
pronounced to be the only really Just
way Of dealing with individual Offend
ers of all classes. since, In a measure,
It makes it possible for 9 prisoner to
limit his own confinement 1t does not
leave to the Judge the responsibility
OF fixing the term Of Imprisonment de-
finitely, but rather to the prison au-
thorities. who come In daily contact
with the delinquent and know the
probabilities Of his reform by observ-
ing his general character. The pres
ent law may fix the term of imprison-
ment for the same offense, without re-
gard to the circumstances that led up
to It. but the indeterminate sentence
will permit prisoner, committed per-
haps for first offense. to shorten his
term II he shows signs of reform.
Among tho recent cases that have
come up are those Of two men sem
fenced for counterfeiting. The one

Employed on improvements.
IN the federal prisons the prisoners
are employed upon improvements up
on tho buildings ana may be trans
ferred from one prison to another ac-
cording to the need OF their services.
There are three federal prisons in the
United States. These are designed to
provide accommodations for oenders
against federal laws and regulations.

which have been passed 80 generally
during the past two years. When per-
sons are convicted of transporting
white slaves" from one state to an
other II becomes violation Of inter-
state law and Is therefore a federal
offense.
Tho two most important federal
prisons are at Atlanta and Fort Leav-
enworth and there II a third smaller
one located at Mcneil Island. in the
state Of Washington. None Of these
at present has Accommodations for
women prisoners, so most Of the wo-
men offenders against federal laws are
confined in state institutions. The ma
jority OF the inmates in these prisons
come from the District Of Columbia,
because any infringement Of law which
In other places would be punishment
by confinement in a local institution,
in the vicinity of the national capital
becomes q federal offense. Conse-
quently, servant girl who steals from
her mistress in Washington is fed
eral prisoner upon the same level with
the banker, who by violation of bank
ing regulations. acquires a million or
more Of other peoples dollars.
There is much being done in the
way Of improving the religious and ed
vocational privileges provided for the
prisoners. The chaplains are endea-
| voring to give less sentimental cant
and more practical help. The selec-
ton Of books for the prison library is
| now made with real consideration Of
helpfulness. Incidentally, 1t should be
said that the visits of religious wo.
men to the male convicts in the peni-
| tentiary is becoming looked upon with
disfavor. unless It may be to address
or to sing to the men as a body. The
custom of permitting women to teach
in the prison Sunday schools is also
| regarded with disfavor.

ued prosperity in the more or less re-
mote future.
But while. that, and that alone, Is
Frances problem, 1t Is only a part Of
England's, and a minor part. Begin
ming as "protectorates" Of races Of va
ried tints, British colonies evolve nat
urally towards great nations of white
men. These white men, growing up
under a system whose sway Is exer-
cised from oversee, may take 1t as a
matter of course, may benefit by its
advantages, may not trouble them
selves very much over its drawbacks
since they are not very near But let a
change of system be suggested and
those same men will become critical.
And when an effort is made to estab-
lish loose elective system in the place
of the closely knit hereditary system,
which has existed for years, it Is to be
expected that those men, If indeed they
be men, will want advantages of their
own, a different set for each region, to
may think the home country or else
other dependencies are receiving.
Imagine what a vote for an English
president would be! Is he to be elect
ed by Great Britain alone? What au-
thority would he have over distant
colonies which had not been consulted? 7?
On the other hand, are Canada, Aus
tralia, New Zealand and the rest to be
consulted? Then, what chance is there
of such scattered interests and opin-
ions agreeing? Is there to be e serious
difference, must armed force be re-
sorted to in some dependency Of a
mood verify too independent-and
what guarantees will other dependen-
cies have that their turn must come
next unless they profit by the upheav-
al in one direction to rise up in their
turn?
The United States, truest of all re-
publics, has recognized that colonial
expansion Is incompatible with repub-
lican principles; the Roman and
French republics could extend and hold
their domains only by imposing their
rule upon aliens in a manner absolute
ly un-republican, although exercised,
in Frances case, at least, humanely.
Would Great Britain remain, then, q
colonial empire and domestic repub-
lie? 1t is hard to conceive the situa-
ton otherwise; and 1t Is hard to con-
ceive of this particular situation as
lasting an hour, even could 1t be seri-
ously suggested.
Thus do the French, always logical
with the facts put before them, look
upon the course towards which events
seem to be converging in England; and
the certainty that readjustment Of
Englands colonial affairs would put
much of Europe out of joint does not
add brightness to the outlook.
But leaving speculation aside. the in
cidents actually occurring in England
have been reflected on the European
continent in a manner calculated to
give pause. In France there has been
nothing to equal the gravity of the
German strikes; but the twenty-four
hours miners strike of the 18th Of
March marked an era in French social
history, because Of its very orderliness.
Never had French workingmen shown
such absolute solidarity, such exem-

THERE is A REASON

johnson & Clark Of Detroit, are state
agents for the Mutual Benefit Life In
surance Company for the state Of Mich
igan, and their agency is among the
leaders in the amount Of new business
produced In the United States each
year. For the past several years an
average Of 38 per cent OF the new bus
mess the agency has produced has been
on account Of OLD Policy Holders In
creasing their insurance. In 1911 this
class Of business amounted to 20 per
cent. There is reason for this and It
is simply because Of the fact that those
Michiganders fully appreciate the fact
that NO Life Insurance Company in
the United States has Such o Record
az the Mutual Benefit for giving Each
Member q Square Deal, and that no
Company Guarantees 40 much In its
written contracts. During the thirteen
years that have represented the COM
pany have had the pleasure OF writ
ing applications for the same men as
often as from Two to Five Times, and
am morally certain that there are few
II any Mutual Benefit policy holders in
this section who feel that they
have all the life insurance they
care for In this company, provid-
ed that they felt able to carry more.
Don't you think you should like policy
in such q company, too? You owe II
to yourself to investigate its record
and policy contracts.

Suspended Animation.-As we de-

that what kills the higher animals does
not injure the lower. Cut polyp In
two and you lave two living polyps in
stead Of one dead polyp. Break of a

You may, 1t has been said, freeze fly.
but you cannot freeze it to death.
There are infusoria called wheel an

curious qualities. among which Is that
of suspending animation for an indefi-
mite period without ceasing to live.
Colonies Of rotifers may be desiccated
and rendered apparently lifeless, and
in this condition they may be kept for
months and years and possibly CEN
turies. A single drop Of water will re-
store them to life, and the wheel bear
ers will instantly resume their func-
tional activity precisely at the point
where it was broken off.-Harper's.

Up to the House.-While Eugene
Field was working on the Denver Re-
publican he was an earnest and ar
dent patron Of Bob Stockton's bar, i'm
mediately across the street from the
Republican Office. He ran a bar bill
Of $50 in one month. The proprietor,
says Everybody's Magazine, dunned
him for 1t frequently, but never cut off
his credit, for the patronage of Gene"
was worth more to him than the $50.
At last, despairing Of ever getting his
money, and thinking to make a strong
hit with Gene" he made out re-
ceipted bill, and, calling Field aside,
presented it to him.
Then he waited. But Field merely
stood in an expectant attitude. hold
ing the bill.
We'll, why don't you say some
thing?" Stockton demanded at last.
We'll, Bob" rejoined Field, what
does the house usually do when a man
pays his bill?"

Just Like Home.-Two little girls
six years old or so-were playing
housekeeping all along the garden
wall, says the Milwaukee Sentinel. On
some principle that no grown-up could
realize one section of it was the kitch-
en-, another the dining room, another
the sitting room and so on. One small
maid was the mistress of the house
and the other was the servant girl.
Then the big man came strolling
along with a book in his hand and,
all unconscious perched himself on
the softest stone in the middle of that
wall.
"Oh, look how he comes and spoils
our play" walled one of the twain.
No, indeed" replied Audrey, with 4
happy inspiration: Hes my husband
and he's reading in his den and he's
not to be disturbed, so we needn't no.
tice him."
So the game went on.
