WHERE PENNSYLVANIA EXCELs

Reports of investigations of Sing
Sing, most famous of New York's
criminal institutions, make sorry
reading. The prison is disgrace
so much so that it is proposed to
abandon it altogether and begin all
over again somewhere else.
1t is a relief to turn from New
York to Pennsylvania. True, all of
our institutions are not up to date
and will not bear the glare of pene-
trating inquiry, but we are discov-
ering how to do things. In the
State Hospital for the Criminal In
sane at Farview we are actually
leading the world in enlightened
management and methods.
Here is an institution that has
been built without penny of graft
to begin with; that was started
largely as an experiment; that was
intended to deal with insane crimi-
nails only; that has been in operation
or that portion of it which has
been erected, for it is to be extended
for only a few months, but which
in that short time has produced mar
velous results.
The most violent of criminals are
received at Farview. Frequently
they arrive in chains from padded
cells. But in this new and wonder
full institution not a cell has been
provided. There are no straight
jackets, no manacles. Kindness,
good treatment, out-of-door life and
healthful employments and games
have revolutionized conditions; vio-
lence and viciousness on the part of
the inmates are practically unknown,
while human beings have been made
out of heretofore handcuffed brutes.
Last Sunday a preliminary article
| descriptive of life at Farview was
printed in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t will be followed on Sunday next
and the succeeding Sunday with
others. Those who read the first
one will not neglect the remaining
two. Those who did not will still
find in the descriptions to come not
only true stories of great interest,
but matters for serious thought. The
study of penology is a growing one.
Ideas are changing and here in
Pennsylvania we are apparently
solving a problem that has ever
been most intricate one.

A GREAT REUNION.

The remains of those mighty arm
les that clashed at Gettysburg half
a century ago, and by that clash
made the name of the town famous
the world over and for all time to
come, have gathered once more on
the field of battle to cement the
peace which has endured for fifty
years.
BY their own request, the Confed-
crate veterans who took part in the
hand-to-hand conflict for which the
battle was so notable, will be quar-
tered cheek by jowl with the
Union veterans who opposed them

to get acquainted with the men We

A LETTER FROM PHILIP HONE
Editor Of Wayne County's leading
lNnMSnannr.

Editor Of Wayne County's leading
Newspaper,
Dear Sir:
was in your town once-just
once. 1t was a hot day, remem-
ber, and as l and my friend Wash
ington Irving climbed through the
laurels and around among the big
trees we found ourselves on the big
ledge of rocks that hides the sun in
the morning. l remember it was
hot, because we stopped at the cold
spring on the way up and drank a
goblet or two of water apiece. 1t
was nice, and good and very cold.
We looked down on the new canal
with its mud tinged banks; but we
thought that canal was put there to
stay. You have got rid of it,
notice. / note, also, that down
where we had large locks and weigh
ed the boats you have now built a
big shop where men manufacture
lifts. In fact, the whole place looks
strange to me. Having cut away
the trees and removed the under
brush it reminds me of an incident
that occurred at my home in New
York when I met Peter Stuyvesant
on the street and didn't know who
he was, for the Peter 1 knew had
bushy whiskers, and this stranger
had smooth face.
There are so many changes in the
place that think 1t better not to re-
| fer Arther to any OF them. There
are pe things / note of late thai

G. o. ID. SERVICE
STARTED JULY 1.

Extension of Business of the Parcel
Post.
Now that the parcel post is work
ing smoothly and the public and pos
tai people have had a chance to be-
come familiar with the new system,
the government has decided to take
two further steps toward improving
and extending the system. One of
these is the collect on delivery feat
ure and the other is the use of regu-
lar stamps on the parcels.
Under the G. o. D. ruling, a mer-
chant or any one else can send ma
terial which has not been paid for by
the new system and by securing a
collect tag and attaching it, Uncle
Sam will collect the price for him
from the addressee and return it,
Postmaster General has just issued
the order for the extension, effective
July 1st.
The collection is accomplished very
simply. The sender secures at the
window at the postoffice a perforat-
ed tag, divisible into three parts
One is given to the sender as a re-
ceipt; the second is retained at the
sending office and the third signed
by the recipient and on it a money
order application made. The collec'
tor makes out the money order and II
is sent to the sender, who collects
at the office. The service promises
to be simple, but of great conveni
ence. The express companies have 9
similar service.
Postmaster General Burleson hal
also issued an order abolishing the
use of distinctive stamps for fourth
class matter and directs that here
after ordinary stamps are good fol

Washington.-An end is in sight
to the hot wave that has held sway

slowly eastward. The forecast says:
