freedom through a hunger strike.
But the really important question
is as TO the effect OF all this on the
suffrage cause We note in this coun-

among the women opposed 70 suffrage.
Last week a suffrage amendment was
decisively beaten in Michigan. Several
state legislatures have recently de-

ness Of purpose. II a Democratic con-
gress bungles tariff revision, Mr. Will
son will not do as Mr. Cleveland did
Let the bill become a law by default
and then write private letter de-
ncuncing the measure as party
perfdy and party dishonor." He will
not do as Mr.. Taft did-sign the bill
because II Is party measure and
then repudiate IL piecemeal after de-
tending IL as whole. Everybody
knows what Mr.. Wilson will do II
Congress offers him a tariff that does
not fulfil the party's pledges. He will
veto IT, He will tell the country why
he vetoed IT, He will name the men
who are responsible for the surrender
to privilege, and ne will appeal to the
country for a Congress that will do
what II promises to do. He may be
beaten but he Will go down with his
colors flying There will be no scut-

struggle through which every man
must pass who oa leaving prison
would rehabilitate himself and be-
come worthy citizen--a struggle
the anticipation Of which is as bad
as the reality.
These things Mr.. Osborne has not
learned-could uot learn. for they
cannot be learned by observation
nor in any way other than through
bitter experience. And it is these
things that make imprisonment hell
to the sensitive man, and something
to be dreaded by even the most har-
dened. Mr.. Osborne has learned
much that will be of value in the
humanitarian work he has undertak-
tn. The sacrifice he has made-and
it is very real sacrifce-will not
be in vain, but an experience such
as he has had cannot give one a
sense of the depths of agony-and
of worse than agony--to which a
man is driven by Imprisonment.
Said a man to the writer some
time ago. referring to his imprlson-
ment, We'll, you seem to have suf-
ficient creature comforts; what more
do you want?" Creature comforts!
The Master said, MAN does not live
by bread alone" and it is the spirit
wounds, the mental suffering, not
the physical limitations and depri-
vations, that make imprisonment so
hard that one has to fight sometimes
to keep alive the desire to live.

VISITS aEFoaMAIoRy

The commission appointed by
the German government to make a
six weeks study of correctional in
stitutions in the United States, and
delegates to the American Prison
Congress that was held at Indian
apolis, visited the reformatory on
October 7th.
The commissioners are Privy
Councillor Plaschke, of the Prussian
department of justice; Privy Coun-
cilor Schlosser, of the department
of the interior; DIR. Hickman, one
of the leading jurists of Prussia,
and Paul Remppis, director of the
state school for the education Of
Neglected children in Wabern, in
the district of Cassell, Prussia.
The commissioners arrived al the
institution from New York in the
autom obile of DR.. o. F. Lewis, gen.
eral secretary of the Prison Associ-
alton of New York, who, under
standing the German language, is
to make the tour of the United
States with the commission.
The morning was spent looking
about the dairy, farming and gar
dening departments, and outside
work of the institution. Although
a special luncheon had been pre-
pared, the visitors. after having
watched the inmates at dinner, re-
quested that they be allowed to
have portions of the inmates DIM
ner substituted for that already
prepared for them. The remainder
of the day was taken up in the
school rooms, trade shops, and
watching the military drill.
DR.. John Handley, ID. NJ. Sawyer
and former Governor Foster M.
VOORHEES,, members of the reforma
tory commission, assisted in enter
tanning the visitors.
In an interview IN New York,
following their visit, Herr Schlosser
is quoted as saying: We visited
the New Jersey reformatory yestsr-
day, and the day before we took in
the Jewish reformatory near Yonk-
ers and the Juvenile asylum. Both
are excellent institutions.
I'VE are most interested in your
Reformatories, and especially in the
working out of the indeterminate
sentence, which we have not IN Ger
many. It strikes one as reasonable
that if boy realizes that he is not
compelled to remain in such an IN
stitutiou definite length of time,
and that the date of his release de-
pends in large measure upon him
self, his behavior may be much bet
ter, and he may do all he can to
shorten his term. We have many
reform schools out only one refor-
. matory."

in America until November 90

seem to be touching up the rouge
box rather lavishly, but that is an
old habit, and there is no outward
and visible proof that it does any
thing more pronounced than bright
en- up the sallow expanses. II is
nowhere recorded that the girl who
reddens her cheek the reddest helps
mother more with the sweeping and
dishwashing. Possibly, however.
the increase of energy may be there,
but is expended in turkey-trotting
before the sober statistlcians catch
up with it.
Possibly, according to THE idea,
it is the inevitable red handkerchief
knotted about the cowboys neck
that makes him ride so reckless.
and the supposed red flannel petit
coat of her lsdyship that keeps her
tongue going at such clip.
In fact, all sorts of suppositions
are possible under this new theory.
Certain it is that red headed girls
are energetic of temper, and the
man who paints the town red is no
slouch on gyrating gymnastics.
There is just one test that remains
to put the finishing touch to the
theory-if red pajamas will make q
man get up in the cold, gray dawn
and build the fire uncomplsiningly,
then will the world accept DR.. Alb
rams doctrine as scientific fact
and domestic harmonizer, and ac-
claim the doctor himself as public

ASKS THAT THE
! PRISONERS Be PAID

utuOOuv6ltO - Ta0
The Trades and Labor Assembly OF Duluth
Wants the Prisoners, who do Work for
the City, Paid. This is a Good Move in
the Right Direction. The MeWs-Tdhune
Presents Its Views.
The trades aud Labor assembly
asks that the city prisoners be paid
for such work as they do on the
streets. There is no more justice in
refusing pay to prisoners for work
done according to its value than in
refusing to pay for any other COM
modify.
The concrete paving on East Sec
ond street, laid last month. was laid
with Jail labor. The man in charge
said the men worked as vel! as free
labor. They certainly seemed to.
so far as the onlooker could tell In
fact, they looked and worked ST.
much like free labor that we sup
posed they were contractors crew
until told the contrary.
These men in the Jail are largely
from the ranks of labor. They are
committed usually for drunkenness,
street brawls or other petty offenses.
Many of thera have families. Most
of them are unable to pay fines, and
where they have families, these are
left destitute.
The men are fed and housed, but
the wives and children are left to
suffer while their supporter is pun
ished. 1t is the almost invariable
rule that men, used only to outdoor
labor, prefersto work even for moth.
ing than to remain idle in conine-
ment. 1t is an established fact that
keeping them in idleness Furnishes
society rather than them.
For all the gravity of the offense
they have committed, restraint Of
Liberty is punishment enough. They
should be given work; they want to
work; they work well, and they
should be paid a reasonable wage
above the cost of their food and
lodging, which should be given to
their families, or if single, to them
when released.
1t has been amply proved that
where this is done they GO from Jail
better men than when committed.
They have been punished. but they
feel that public authority has treated
them fairly. They go out in good
physical condition; they have work
ed both the whisky and the cuss-
edness out of their systems and are
ready to make an honest effort to
be better citizens.
For the good of these men, in the
interest of the public. in fairness to
their families, and as an example of
honesty in paying for work done,
they should be given work and paid
for it. This is the whole principle
of the new. correctional farm. and
that the men shall be paid is in the
law. Having established this prin-
ciple, the city should live up to it
and pay it's bills. -News-Tribune.
