REVOLT LEADERS BEATEN

 BRINE IS APPLIED.
Convicts Tied to Ladder While Tor. tured-Fifteen Others to
 Be Punished.

Jackson, Mich, Sept. 7.-With the revolt in Jackson Prison over, the convicts quiet and the factories again running. the punishment of the ring leaders of the uprisings was contin- ued. It is reported that 15 other men are to be fogged.
 According to a guard, nine were whipped Thursday. Three of them were beaten so badly that they faint ed and had to be taken to the prison hospital
 The method used in punishing the prisoners is like that in vogue two years, according to the guard. A bar rel is tied in the middle of ladder, the convict is laid over the barrel and his ankles and wrists tied to rungs of the ladder. He is gagged so that he cannot make an outcry. Then a three inch leather paddle. soaked in brine, is used.
 Beaten Till Blood Is Drawn.
 The men received from 10 to 30 blows, and in almost every instance Three of them fainted and had to be carried away. It doesn't take many blows from this instrument of torture to almost oonvulse the victim with pain. l suppose those fellows need that sort of treatment, but, believe me, wouldn't be one of them for all the money in the world"

 We are informed that the prosecu- ton is planning to hold these men in jail still longer. and not let their cases come to trial at the fall term of court. The feeling is bitter throughout the common laboring classes, especially among the foreignspeaking laborers.
 T believe that more than majority of the common laborers employed in our industries are foreign-speaking persons, and it is because of this that we will print the call in all languages At Lawrence he had to use 49 dialects There are 27 nationalities.

Oddities Of Justice.

That the whole theory OF penal
codes is practically unsound and op-
posed to the modern conceptions Of
the relation of the state to crime, is
the contention of Eugene Smith Of the
New York bar, writing In the May
number of Case and Comment, the
lawyers magazine. Illustrating the
absurdity and disparity between pen
atty for crimes in different states.
Mr.. Smith says: The average sen
tence for perjury in Florida is ten
years, in Maine one year; for larceny.
in Delaware ten years, in the District
of Columbia ten months; the penalty
for arson in Pennsylvania is twice
that Of burglary, but in Connecticut
the guilt of burglary is twice that Of
arson; the guilt Of counterfeiting In
Ohio is twice that of perjury, but in
Rhode Island the guilt of perjury u
twice that of counterfeiting.

With this thought in mind, II has been
suggested that the titles be listed on
a one-sheet ballot with a circle at the
top within which the voter may make
a eross-mark for approval, and a blank
square opposite each title within which
the voter may mark his disapproval OF
such. amendments as he wishes to de
feat.
Opponents Of this plan do not OBJ

seriously as upon the liquor license
and womans suffrage proposals
These they insist should be each sub
mitted upon a separate ballot sheet
It is not improbable that some form
of separate ballot will be provided fol-

rest will go in one column under cir

A change of sentiment with refer
ence to the work of the convention is
clearly manifest. Prediction was free

work would be rejected. Now the fear
is that the people will be so inclined
to vote for everything that even the
liquor license and woman's suffrage
proposals will be adopted.

convention finally ended in peace to
day when the liquor license proposal
was amended and passed third read
