JOHNSTON TALKS
ON TARIFF BILL
Not Entirely in Accord With
Underwood, But Will
Support Measure

Washington, April 24.-(Special.)-Thos
senators who will seek to amend the
tariff bill because of the demand of
their constituents in the wool growing
states and the cotton manufacturing cen
ters and sugar states, are doing their
best to get some support from other
senator's by promising aid to them upon
any little item in the tariff bill with
which they may not be entirely in ac-
cord.
They got little comfort from Senator
Johnston. The senator has determined
to support the tariff bill as it is written
and will seek no amendments himself,
ror give sucoor to any of his colleagues
who do.

Michael Mcdonnell. who spent thir-
teen years in Matteawan and has Just

on a charge of assault committed In
1900, pointed out that Judge Carey's
idea was impracticable, because to m
prison all inhabitants of the United
States for one day each year would
cost the country untold sums OF money.
History. however. records an In
stance OF an English judge of The last
century who insisted, on being ele-
waited to the bench, OF passing a week
in prison under, severe discipline. His
idea was thus to familiarize himself
with the sort OF life which the unfor-
Inmates whom he might have to SEN
tence to confinement would have to
live. He thought that most judges did
not sufficiently realize what severe
punishment they were inflicting when
they passed sentences of long terms
OF imprisonment.
Somehow this idea seems to have
within 1t at least a small amount OF
common sense.
