1.-The bat or strap is to be
abolished in the penitentiary-a
thing that should have been done
years ago. Even though man be
convict he is human and should he
treated as SUCH
1t seems odd to note how long II
mas taken our humanitarians to
bring about changes In our penal
institutions and our public homes.
Prisons were meant primarily to
confine those who were dangerous to
humanity.
In very early times death was
inflicted for very simple attractions
OF law. Later, as man DEVELOPED.
criminals were not deprived of life
excepting for murder or treason.
Later still, we modified even that
and some countries, besides some of
own States, have no capital punish
ment.
To any one who has visited a,
prison OR Jail, the feeling of cowed
awe that instinctively. comes over
one at the very entrance, strikes a
chill to ones heart.
Imagine the folly of trying to
reform or re-create human beings
by shutting them away from the
sunlight and all that God gave us to
make life good.
is there anything more tragic
than the man who has blasted his
life by committing crime-often on
the impulse Of the moment-under
great stress of passion, and thereby
hn
eadeavor of years?
This is not maudlin, sickly senti-
ment, and is not plea for the
release Of any criminals whom the
law has put away"
But-there is so much to be said
against the very large majority of
our penal institutions; the criminal
who is such from choice is not classed
as differing in any way from the man
who has committed a crime impul-
sively.
A recent magazine article showed,
in series Of illustrations, the inter-
Tor Of prison workshop; negroes
and white men were side by side In
the dining hall, the same thing was
to be seen.
Not all Of the faces were those of
hardened" criminals; some of the
men looked broken in spirit and
health-and one wondered what they
would be when the State had exacted
its toll from them for the crimes
they had committed.
Some of the phases of punish
ment are more with a view of
humiliation than with a view to
impressing the offender with the
gravity of the offense he had COM
mitted
The greatest plea the worker in
foreign mission fields can work on
for the transfer of American dollars
to the foreign field is for ''the
uplift" of the heather who has had
no chance.
And every reformatory and penal
institute in this country is filled with
men who have had no chance, and
who have known of no uplift other
than that the police gave them.
Our other public institutions are
in need of investigation" and there
is crying need for it especially in
those supported by the States for the
benefit of the decrepit and desti-
tute.

ity?
Isn't there a wide field for discuss
ing the changes needed in building
and operating all these places where
man is deprived of his liberty ''for
the good of mankind?"
In many countries the penal insti-
tutions are built beyond the cities,
and the prisoners conduct farms,
operate industries which do not con-
flict in any way with free labor, but
keep alive for years and years, that
spark of hope which is man s saving
grace.
1t is time we not only abolished
the lash and the strap from our penal
institutions, bat time also that we
remembered that a degraded, humil-
lated man is the saddest thing God
lets walk the earth-and about the
most hopeless.

NEARING FINISH,

After the four-game series with
st. Paul which begins tomorrow the
Louisville baseball club leaves for
another long road trip, not returning
home until Sunday, September Z,
with only eleven more games to be
played at home until the end of the
season, September 30. The only
other trip away from home will be
a four-game series at Columbus, be-
ginning September Is. In the past
week there have been two bright
spots in the playing of the local team
which have been a treat to the fans,
and that is the all around playing of
Rudy Hulswitt and the pitching of
Toney. The latter's efforts, with a
fair hitting team behind him,
would always be productive of VIC
tory. Hulswitt has certainly won
the respect of the fans by his earnest
and sincere work, which is appre-
ciated by the patrons who like to see
a player always trying, regardless of
the handicap. With the incompetent
umpiring seen here the last several
weeks the fans are wondering at the
neglect of President Chivington in
not signing Steve Kane, the local
umpire, who would certainly be an
Improvement over some of the pres
ent staff.

MISSION.
Wants a Church I'm Every
Negro Section of the
Country.

The Catholic Board for Mission
Work Among the Colored People"
of which Rev. John e. Burke is
Director General and Rev. d. j.
Dustin the Assistant Director, has
been incorporated, that the needs Of
the colored work may be brought
more fully and more earnestly to the
notice of Catholic people and that
means may be procured for the es-
Enlistment of schools and churches,
particularly in the Southern States.
Father Burke, whose whole life has
been spent working for the spiritual
welfare of the American negroes,
has his office on the tenth floor Of
the Metropolitan Tower, New York
City, where he is always waiting a
friendly call from his Catholic
friends. He is trying to put Cath
Ollie priest and a Catholic church in
every negro section of the country.
He believes, with the church, that
Christ died for the colored man as
we'll as for the white. Father Burke
maintains that If 100000 Catholics
would contribute one dollar each
yearly the negro problem will be on
the way to be settled. Throughout
the entire South the Mission Board
has done much for the colored race.

POSSIBILITIES
FOR Railroad From Tanda-
Raree to London
derry.

A mining engineer and geological
surveyor have both been busy lately
in the neighborhood OF Tandaragee
Castle-the North Of Ireland home
Of Eugene Zimmerman, of Cincin-
natl, when he visits Ireland. The
presumption is that coal in abundant
quantities is to be found in these
regions, and that the far-seeing mill
lonaire desires to know something OF
the approximate value before he de-
cides to part with his interests either
in the castle itself or in the lands
adjoining. 1t is significant that the
Duchess of Manchester, who is his
daughter, has lately been interesting
herself in proposals for the construc-
ton of railway that would connect
Tandaragee with the port Of Lon
donderry, the estimated cost of
which is $1,500,00O. She has offered
to find the bulk of the money, which
means that she and her father have
views about the commercial sound
ness of such a scheme. This new
railway has immense possibilities;
II will open up a district that has
hitherto been handicapped for want
of railroad communication, and will
give the Irish farmer no further ex-
cuse for the oft-repeated story that
irish produce can find no market
outside the plot in which it is
grown.

IRISH POETRY.
Perpetuated and IntensI-
fled FerVor of National
Feeling.

The New York Herald, conducting
a poetry contest, thus refers to the
Irish poetry OF bygone days
Great we're the days in Ireland of
old when the poets we're judges as
we'll as versemakers and levied upon
royalty and nobility of the land for
their support. Second only to the
kings and chiefs we're the bards who
sang the heroic deeds of warriors
whom they melted to battle, assur-
ing them of immortality when they
fell. To the bards is due the credit
of perpetuating the poetic instincts
of the Irish nation and intensifying
the fervor of national feeling. The
plaintive quality OF the Irish poetry
comes .out strongly in one of the
later poets, Thomas Moore, whose
lament for the departure of the
muse from Tara, once the abode of
poets as we'll as of kings and the
seat of one of the bardic schools, Is
one of the most familiar poems in
the English language:
The harp that once through Tara's
halls
The soul of music shed
Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls
As IL that soul were fled.
So sleeps the pride of former days,
So glory's thrill is Ger,
And hearts that once beat high for
praise
Now feel that pulse no more.
No more to chiefs and ladies bright
The harp of Tara swells;
The chord above, that breaks at
night,
ats tale OF ruin tells.
Thus Freedom now so seldom wakes
The only throb she gives
rs when some heart indignant
breaks
To show that still she lives.
Another gifted Irishman gave us
one of the most delicate love poems
that can inspire a poet of today:
Had I the heart for falsehood
framed,
1 ne'er could injure you;
For though your tongue no promise
claimed,
F. Your charms would make me
true.
To you no soul shall bear deceit,
No stranger offer wrong;
But friends in all the aged you meet
And lovers in the young.
But when they learn that you have
blest
Another with your heart
They'll bid aspiring passion rest
And act a brothers part.
Then, lady, dread not here deceit,
Nor fear to suffer wrong,
For friends in all the aged you'll
meet
And brothers in the young.
The recent revival of interest in
Celtic literature has served to call
to the buried stores of old
Irish poetry and to stir the Celt of
today to take advantage of his
goodly heritage and again give to
the world poetry such as his fore
fathers wrote.

A bounteous dinner and supper will
