Humanity in Prisons

Chicago Tribune: A remarkab BILE change Is coming
over the prisons of the world. One by one they are
being turned into experiment stations. From 1nstlto'
lions OF punishment they are gradually changing into
institutions Of rehabilitation. The principal aim OF
the up to date prison is coming to be more and more
the eclamatiO of convicts and their restoration u
society as good and useful citizens once more.
The old time Jail official, whose method OF enforc'
ing discipline was to subdue the prisoner with brute
force, is disappearing. The torture chamber known
as the punishment cell' is being eliminated in FAVOR
of the Cancellation CELL" where the nnruly prisoner
is given a chance to think it over" Many OF the
leading prisons in this country and Europe are equip
ped with what might be termed psychological laDora'
tories. Men foremost in the ranks of psychology ana
science dictate the policies Of the prisons and pre-
scribe the treatment of prisoners.
r., This world wide movement for humanity in prisons
has now been given further impetus by the state OF
illinois. At the state penitentiary in Joliet ohciais
have adopted the honor system for convicts, which so
far has found favor only in "a few states. BY means
of this system d number fs prisoners have temporarily
,been turned into free utdoorSSllabora The officers
Of the state prison have" no other guarantee than the
word of honor of these convicts that they will not
run away. 1t is an interesting experiment. If the
40 prisoners who were given their conditional free
dom do not abuse it and the prison officials will have
no canse to revoke this almost revolutionary step in
the conduct of a state penitentiary, the cause OF
humanity in prisons will have gained much.

ReQdu For Exposition

In less than a rnonth-October Z, to be exact-the
eyes of the whole Northwest will be centered on Bis
marck, the capital city of the great agricultural state
of North Dakota, and thousands of people will be
travelling in that direction, with the object Of taking
in the big show. The philosophical action of the
railways in granting homeseekers' rates, with the first
stop-off privilege at Bismarck, will be a great factor
in inducing travel from outside the state, and the
management has every reason for believing that the
proportion of visitors from other states will be greater
than on either of the previous occasions, and
that the total attendance will be greater than ever
before.stSE ,s@
In the meantime, Bismarck itself has not been
idle, and is fully alive to the Importance of the occa'
sision, and will spare no trouble or expense in prepar'
atory work, for the capital city has a reputation for
hospitality of which it is proud, and it is¬ proposed
to imperil that reputation If good, honest hnstling
and the experience of past years count for anything.
The Mckenzie; Grand Pacitcsss soo,, Palace, Bis,
.narck ana Sottne are al, IN order, and ready to
take care of any reasonable number of guests alta
moments notice. They have had experience and Wis
itors may rest assured that their every want will be
looked after and that they will feel thoroughly at
home in the hostelries named and elsewhere-no
matter where they may take up their temporary
abode. E.
.:a Our streets have been graded and carefully tended
for months past and are now in the best condition
ever, thanks to the %unremitting efforts of Street
Commissioner Hinckley and his competent corps OF
assistants. This in itself is no small matter, where
the only available bodybuilding material is the native
soil, and owners of autos may rely upon smooth sur
faced boulevards and avenues, should they undertake
a ride around the city--a ride, by the by, which is
we'll worth while, on account of the handsome resi-
dences and public buildings which can be seen and
the many view points from which striking perspect.
ives and beautiful woodland scenery can be glimpsed.
Equal ease of travel will be found outside the city
limits, and drives to Fort Lincoln, Old Fort Abraham
Lincoln, the state penitentiary, the Indian school, the
river bluffs Of the Missouri, the old rifle pits Of the
sibley expedition In the zoos, and other points OF
interest will be enjoyed by many Of the citys guests.
Everywhere will be found a hearty welcome and q
spick and span appearance, which will tell the Wis
itor that they were expected and that Bismarck is
glad to see them.
The Tribune is read in many a faraway state and
to each Of its widely scattered readers it desires at
this time to extend a hearty greeting. with the wish
that associations which have been SO pleasant in the
past may become even more so by personal greetings

Unfair With Books

Isn't it about time the %postofice department ad-
mitted books to the parcel post, asks the Minneapolis
Tribune. From the beginning of the new service,
books have been excluded. One who desires to mail
a book must pay third class postage on it, and the
limit of weight is four pounds, instead Of twenty.
The authorities feared that to admit books at first
would result in more packages than could be handled
by the new system, and this fear was perhaps justl-
fed. At any rate, no one knew exactly how the public
would take to the new service, and it was thought
better to hold. the books out till it was seen how
heavy the burden of merchandise was to be-.
However, it is now plain that the p%ostofice de-
partment is ready for any flood Of packages and can
handle books in addition to merchandise and the like
as easily as not. A brick dealer may send a ton of
his product through the parcel post as samples to
prospective ustomers but the distribution of books
in the same cheap manner is not yet possible.
Kenmare city dads are after the local telephone
company and the papers say it is intended that the
company pays for its share OF the city improvements.

Gun.TOfinQ

We are a nation of guntoters. More murders in
proportion to population are committed amongst us
than in almost any civilized country in the world
There is an obvious relation between these two facts.
The revolver is manufactured primarily for the
nor is it much used for targetshooting. There are
&C factories in this country turning out something
like 1000, 900 man.killers annually. These are sold
almost everywhere freely and without legal restric-
tons.
Boy or man, maniac or %drunkard, crook or honest
citizen may buy himself a revolver without dittlcuity'
and may tote it with him, to be drawn and used
whenever it seems desirable to him. The man with
q gusty temper, which gets quickly out of hand, is
more likely to have artillery on his person than the
eyen.tempered, self-controlled man. The man addict
ed to liquor and not sure of himself is more likely TO
have a deadly weapon upon him than the sober, sane
citizen.
OF course, self-defense is the ready excuse for the
guntoter. He needs the revolver to defend himselr
against some sudden adversary who may attack him.
In a primitive society this might be a good excuse
but in ours it makes for murder. For the defense OF
the home against burglars and other intruders, the
revolver is doubtless a j~ustifable resource. But 1t
should remain in the home, and not be transporter
about the streets in the pocket OF it's owner.
The sale Of revolvers should be vigorously restrict
ed. Guntoting should be made a serious offense, ana
those convicted of it should be punished severely.
Only by measures OF this sort, provided by state les'
islatures and enforced by the authorities, can crimes
of violence be reduced to a mere normal ratio,-M'n'

No Library in Bismarck

1t Is an astonishing fact that there Is no public
library in the city Of Bismarck! Seldom will one
find a city of this size so deficient in this respect.
Nearly every town in this state, no matter how small
has a library, but Bismarck, the capital city, has none.
And the city is not alone in this deficiency, for
neither has the state a library, aside from the gu.
preme court library and the Legislative n,referenP
library. The former Is quite extensive and Is an
institution OF which the state may well be proud.
The legislative reference library is fair, but while
these are all right in their parts, yet it seems that
the state should have some institution of a general
order.
Il Is true that North Dakota Is a young state--has
mad an uphill pun in becoming established, and really
has not had the means with which to found a suitable
library, but 1t would seem that the time was nearly
ripe for making a start.
It. does not take much for a city to start a library,
and If the Civic league, or some similar organization,
would take up the task a start could be made without
any great effort. The writer looks back with pleasure
to the time, a number of years ago, when he headed
q subscription fund with SIS and with a few hours OF
hustling established a library in a town in this state
That library has fast become one of many volumes
and is today the pride of the city.
Would it not be we'll for some combination Of
people in this city to make a move in this direction?
1t is safe to say the results would be gratifying.

A St0ry From Banks

The Tribune is publishing in this issue a compar-
alive statement of the condition Of state banks and
trust companies in this state for the years OF 1872
and 1913, to which the attention Of those interested
is invited. ol~.
These figures are authentic, being furnished by
the Office Of state examiner. and reveal a gratifying
condition.
In making a comparison of the call for August 9
Of this year with the call for September 4 of last
year, the examiner finds the total deposits have in
creased $7,480,OO0, of which about 100000 repre-
SCENTS Increase OF time deposits.
The surplus and undivided profits account shows
an increase Of $530OOO; the capital stock shows an
increase of 1882, 900, while the bills payable and re-
discounts show a decrease of 1871, 900.
The total deposits of all banks reporting COOS
state banks and three trust companies) aggregate a
little over $40, 100000.
Total loans and discounts reported show an aggre-
gate Of $44,5 94, 900, with o%verdrafts OF $24S,OOO"
In reading this report it must be remembered that
the September 4 report of last year would include
quite a volume of the 1912 grain sales, while the
August 9 report Of this year contains very little, il
any, Of the 1913 sales, which tends to make the in
crease of deposits in the state banks of North Dakota
during the past eleven months all the more remark.
able, and the bankers of the state are certainly to
be congratulated on their ability to make such a
favorable showing, considering the heavy Withdrawals
which naturally come to them during the summer
period before the crop movement begins.
While considering these figures it should also be
remembered that these figures only represent that
part of the business of the people of this state which
is carried on with the state banks, and that there
Is in all probability an equally good showing among
the national banks of the state, according to numbers.
The increase of time deposits shows not only pros
perity, but confidence as well, and while the decrease
of bills payable is another pleasing feature in the
report, rejecting an improved condition. The table
printed elsewhere in this issue furnishes an interest
ing story.

STRAY TOPICS FROM LITTLE OLD new YORK

How acute the problem has become
in this part OF the country may be In
ferred from a case which happened
in Huntington, L.. l., the other day.
Harris Goldstein, a wealthy dry goods
dealer, residing in Huntington, had in
his service a Polish servant girl who
was considered a perfect Jewel" by
the family and the friends of the fam
ily. A short time ago CONSERVATION

CONSERVATION seized the GOldstein
family over a rumor that Samuel
Sweet, Manhattan real estate brok-
er, who also lived in Huntington, had
made overtures to the Jewel" and
had offered her an increase of wages
to induce her to leave the Goldstein
household and become the kitchen
genius of the SWEET household. The
other day Mr.. SWEET and Mr.. Gold
stein met and came to blows over the
servant girl question. The next
chapter of the story will be enacted
in the police court.
The world will probably never
know how much acute suffering there
is among the unfortunate men who

gettes. Most Of these men are too
meek to rebel against the humilat-
ing position into which they have
been forced by the militancy of their
respective better halves. They bear
their burden and the world never
learns of their burdens and sufferings.
Only, once in a while one of the male
victims of the suffrage craze, driven
