Beeinninss for Prison Reform.

Before the indeterminate sentence plan when
Thomas Mott Osborne advocates as the chief thing
in a programme of prison reforms can be successful
in this state other things must he greatly bettered
1t is eminently desirable that the prison system he
based on an idea of benefting or reforming the in
mates as well as of furnishing them. and that when
they have been betered they be released The state
is experimenting with this idea now in its parole
system.
But the prisons, maintained and administered
and the pententares and county jails are anything
but reform agencies. The minor establishments are
too frequently merely preparatory schools for the
state prisons In the penitentiaries or warehouses
the unforunates learn the higher degrees of crime
which lead from disorderly conduct to commission
Of felonies 1t is highly necessary that the physical
surroundings and moral atmosphere Of the prisons
be changed before going much further with indie
terminate sentences. Clean and sanitary cells de-
cent food. internal regulations permitting exercise
amusement and human society will serve as the
proper foundation for the improvement which the
indeterminate sentence contemplates. And they
will prove attractive enough. as some de
tenders Of the existing order to think, 10 en-

apparent that Martin Glynn intends to be Martin

1t is rather advanced political grOund-n practice.
Governor Hughes practised it as well preached
It, He was never suspected OF being controlled by
his party's machine or anybody in the party. He
acknowledged obligations to the people who had

neither is he blind TO the fact that the people above

Exclusion of AsiaticS.

The giving OF u hearing on the exclusion OF Asiatic
races in connection with the pending immigration
bill will revive vigorous and even imprisoned con
troversy over matter which after a generation Of
dispute is increasingly troublesome and formidable.
There may he consolation however, in the
fact that the United States is not alone involved in
the problem. AMI indeed is not deeply involved
AZ are some other countries.
Canada, for example, purposes to prohibit, at
least for time all Asiatic immigration. The pro
hbition is chiefly aimed at the japanese. but in
order to avoid invidous discrimination it is made
general i'm terms. so TO exclude not only the
Japanese who are the allies of the British Empire
but also the Hin1us who actually members Of
that empire The case of South Africa is still more
fragrant for there discrimination is made directly
against Hindus 1t is exclusion not of aliens but OF
fellow citizens or subjects Of the common empire.
There is no occasion for consciousness on the
part Of other nations. Their realms are not sub
jected 10 any considerable Aslatic influx, are the
United States and four great divisions of the Bril-;
ish Empire If they were they would probably as
sumo very much the same attitude that these do.
Indeed we are inclined 10 think that il an Aslatic
country were threatened with an American or E'l

The Most Interesting Thing in the World.

You will get an odd sensation from Mr. Henry
Hollis new quarterly. which be has carefully named
The Unpopular Review" II is delightfully."- printed,
sitting lightly in the hand after the manner of an
English volume instead of lying there like so much
wet dough as does a bulky American-niade book
Also the articles upon thoroughly engaging sub
iecs. The first impression is entirely favorable.
Yet the magazine has blank expression and
leaves one oddly cold. After turning over few
pages you wonder what the trouble Is. Presently
you discover the secret. Upon some theory all his
own Mr. Holt has kept names out Of his volume.
Every article in the magazine Is anonymous.
II is interesting experiment. But very
much fear that Mr.. Holt has done the one thing To
Justify all too we'll his title Of The Unpopular Re

"WHITE SLAVERY" ON THE STAGE
Miss Spooner's Play, THE House of
Bondage" Is Defended.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir. As constant reader OF your
paper, YOU will, / hope, permit space for

slavery

eddy believe that every man and woman
who witnessed this play at the Cecil
Spooner Theatre knew that they were
taught n moral lesson and that their
children would also snare IL with them.
There is nothing immoral or indecent
about this play, and ii should receive en-
couragement from all humanity, in its
teaching. and certainly Cecil Spooner de-
serves the commentator OF all citizens.

zen should help To instigate the cause
against white slavery" and surely no
man or woman is vile enough to prevent
the abolition of this undesirable, igno-
minous corruption.
