THE NEW PENOLOGY
0By THEODORE ROOSEVELT

The progressive party in it's plat form. adopted in Chicago last Au- gust. declared for the abolition Of the convict labor system; subsutut- ing q system of prison production for governmental production only; and the application of prisoners earnings to the support of their de pendent families
 There is growin. insistence throughout the United states upon the need for drastic changes in the handling of penal institutions. The basis of the new penology' is jus tice both to the prisoner and to so- ciety IL s to the interest of both that the prisoner be secured his right to proper work. health. reasonable moral and mental training, and last, but by no means least, the right to rehabilitation so far as in him lies. Any prison system that does not give these rights fails to do it's du- tN.
 one of the most objectionable points of our present prison system is the pardoning power The Ques- ton is whether il should be in charge oI a pardoning board and taken away from the governor. how such a board should be constituted, whether it should be elected or ap- pointed by the legislature or by the
Arizona republican., 1913-04-20

governor.
 In the public press of January 19. 1913. (NeW York Times. appears an article which sets forth portions of letters from some twenty governors in answer to an inquiry made as to the said governors experiences with the pardoning power and their re- concentrations. Practically without exception they advocated d board of pardons. acting either in an advisory capacity or an actual pardoning board. In the latter case. the gov | ernor should be and always is, think a TDember of the board. The general argument of the governors is that a governor has too many inn portant matters as the executive of the state to enable him to do full justice to the petitions for pardons and communications of sentences. Fun ! damentally the matter is much more serious than the ncursion upon the governors time The sense of jus 1 tice of any community is very keen and not by any means always in proportion to the facts. Particularly sensitive arc our people. as they l should be. to the apparent abuse of l the pardoning power. The board of
 pardons should be deliberative and not hasty in it's action. It would 1 be subject to criticism and scrutiny i of the people of the state from the function. Such d pardoning board should be non political and composed of men of high integrity and sound 1 judgment.
 Then comes the question of how this board shall be constituted The experience of the northern states is that a prison board appointed by the governor is preferable to an elected board I believe that d pri- son board composed of three mem bers appointed by the governor and appointing their own executive, se- cretary and office staff, is advisable. If the right men are appointed they Nill give large part of their time and thought to the matter. Of course conditions in different parts of the country differ, and on all questions such as this it i,s advisable that those who are seeking to solve the problem should consult with men like Mr. A. J. MckelWaE, who nave made thorough study of the whole problem and who are well acquainted with prison system and with legis- lative and administrative difficulties in the varous states.
 Then comes the question as to how best employ the convicts. Cndoubt- edly the convict labor system should be abolished and the prisoners should be set to work to produce articles solely for governmental con sumption. The problem of the best methods of employing convicts is diff ferent in different states. Only a careful survey of conditions in any one state would enable me to answer . authortatively this particular ques- l ton. Farming and outdoor life are
 1 of course advisable throughout the
 country Governor DOnaghey, of Ar 1 kansas, on December 27th last, per 1 formed in my opinion, necessary act in pardoning some three hundre. i cOnvicts in order to call attention tt 1 conditions obtaining under the lease system which were intOlerable. IT the southern states I know that the

THE OLD FASHIONED
 CHIMNEY CORNER

The chimney corner conjures up all sorts of scenes and experiences of primitive, old-fashioned life, and it appeals to the imagination more strongly if we picture it to our selves as being placed in some old farmhouse in a wild and remote dis trict among the hills or in a solitary spot on some wide stretch of moor or marsh in bitter wintry weather.
 Those who have been privileged to sit in a farmhouse chimney corner will never forget it's aspect and sur roundings-the rude settles ranged on each side the huge fire of blazing logs on the broad hearth, the enor- nous kettle or crock suspended from the hanger, and the long, narrow oven, emitting a fragrant smell of baking bread-all these will be famil- far to those who have enjoyed it's warmth and comfort.

Republic in Name Only

This great force saw the wealth of
Carthage--and it's weakness. They saw
the case and effeminacy of the inhabi-
tants and knew that the most able
Carthaginian general was still absent

HamiIcar's Return

which closed the entrance to the inner
harbor, to be opened.
In that iner harbor was situated the
admiralty, and Hamilcar Barca was
still admiral. In fact. 1t was Hamilcar
returned.
They would have torn him limb from
limb because of his defeat in Sicily--a
defeat owing entirely to the cowardice
of Hanno and the neglect of the coun-
ell to forward to him supplies, money
and troops But they would have ex-
alted him to a dictatorship because of
their present peril.
At first he refused to deal again with
those who had so basely deserted him,
who had shown by every act that they
were unworthy of confidence, unworthy
of being saved from the consequences
of their own base and treacherous
acts.

Hamilcar's Mercenaries

TN the great gardens which surround
ed the palace of Hamilcar thousands
4 Of soldiers were feasting. gorging
themselves with food and making them
selves drunk with wines and strong
liquors.
These soldiers were all mercenaries,
gathered from every land, from the sun
kissed plains and mountains of Greece
to the fog-wrapped shores of Britain
and the Baltic Sea.
And Roman fugitives we're there. not
ashamed to bear arms against their ma
tive land; while from the regions south
and east of Carthage the Punio republic
had drawn for hire dark battaliona of
the warriors of Lydia and Numidia.
The war with Rome had just ended in
a peace calling in Its terms to Carthage.
From Sicily Hanilcar had sent home
In detachments the bands of 'mercenaries
with which he had prosecuted this un-
successful war; He had sent them to
Carthage with Instructions that as soon
az band arrived the men were to be
paid off and Immediately shipped to their
homes.
But the rulers OF the city had foolishly
delayed the payment of the troops and
had allowed large army of some. 100000
men to collect in the city.

The Toxic Stock Exchange

From the Wall Street Journal.
A pamphlet recently received gives
some information concerning the Toxic
stock exchange, a joint stock company
with a subscribed capital of 100000 yen.
a yen being the value of 1913 cents. This
corporation is the largest concern of its
kind in Japan. It deals in general secu-
rites, and also negotiable paper, and in
cases of default of it's members the ex-
change is under obligation to make good
to customers. It's members are of good
financial standing, and there have been
only two or three cases of defaulting
stock brokers. Each member is re-
quired to deposit a large money guaran-
tee with the government before he re-
ceives his license as broker.
The membership of the exchange Is
49, and all dealings with it must be
through a licensed broker. Margins must
be deposited with the broker on giving
an order, and the rate for each share
averages one per cent for each of the
current quotations. This rate is never
fixed, however. but varies In amount
according to the character Of the shares
dealt in The exchange demands prompt
settlement of accounts. just as the broker
does. and in case of failure the broker
is held responsible for the exchange.
There are three terms of delivery, the
first at the end of the current month,
the second at lne enu OF inc succccuiHS
month"; and the third at the end of the
month thereafter. There may also, OF
course be cash transaction. All trans
actions must be settled at the end of the
month with regard to the calculations d
profit and loss. The broker is entitled
to fixed profit or loss of his client, and
when the time for settlement arrives
tenders an account to his client.
Shares listed on the Toxic stock ex-
change are confined to joint stock COM
panies with a capital amounting to more
than 100000 yen, and Of these there are
65. comprising tramways, electric power,
steamship gas, water power, cotton
spinning. oil and kindred companies.
The 100000 yen capital of the ex-
change is divided into 240,Ooo shares, old
and new. The share transactions of the
exchange amount to 12o00.0 600 to 13,0o0,0o0
yen annually The dividend has never
fallen lower than 10 per cent and some
times 40 to 30 per cent dividends have
been declared. At one time shares were
quoted at 500 yen.
The institution deserves to prosper.

safeguards and patterns after the mar
kets OF New York and London rather

A Master Takes Control

Hamilcar went to his palace; he saw
the wrecks of his once beautiful park
and comprehended fully the spite of
the government which had sent the
barbarians to revel there.
Then he heard a whisper, a rumor,
something vague and indefinite. of his
daughter Salammbo having received a
lover Into her chamber. 1t was said
that she had abetted him in stealing
the veil of Tanit.
He talked with Salammbo, not re-
ferring definitely to the rumors-and
did not know what TO guess. That the
Zaimph had been stolen there could be
no doubt
Salammbo still seemed the innocent
girl he had left her-but he was gnawed
by a great doubt. He hastily put his
private affairs in order, Instructed his
chief steward to collect all the grain
he could by any means, from any where,
and conceal 1t in the secret granaries
which existed In the palace.
Then he informed the confused and
terrified authorities that he would take
command of the Carthaginian forces and
the war.

Putting Off a Settlement

Alarmed by the fury which the mer-
cenaries had shown in the course of
the feast in Hamilcar's gardens. the nag
istrates decided to get the troops out
of the city as soon as possible and by
the easiest way.
1t was announced to them that If they
would march to a place called Sicca,
about three days march from Carthage,
there they would all be paid and trans
portation would Immediately after the
payment be furnished them to their re-
spective countries.
The city would levy a tax at once to
pay them. AS an earnest Of better
things, each soldier was given on the
spot a piece of money
1t was not difficult to convince these
wild warriors: these rude, bloody, fierce.
simple children of nature. The whole
army set out and marched to Sicca,
passing through Tunis and thence into
a country the rich and scientific culti-
walton of which filled them with aston

Spendius Understands

AS Matho was ascending to the high
est terrace of the great palace of the
Barca family, he encountered a lib
Grated prisoner, Spendius, the crafty
Greek.
Spendius begged Matho to be allowed
to bandage his wounded arm through
which the javelin of Narr' Havas had
made a gaping hole and he tore strips

bandages.
you liberated me from the prison
of Hamilcar." said Spendius. "and
henceforth I am your slave. Hamilcar
captured me at the battle of the
Aegean"
Then the Greek told Matho of the
riches concealed in the palace and
offered to crawl between the walls and
rob the graves of the Barca ancestors,
each ancestor being buried with an
ingot of gold in 4 subterranean place
TO which Spendius was confident he
could gain access.
But Matho scornfully replied: "Well,
what of that?" and the Greek. lean

my daughter. I give her to you for
wife. You are now my son. Son, defend
your father"
The war now commenced with change
of fortunes. = Victory, which had so long
been wary of the banners of the Cartha-
ginians, now seemed to favor the Punio
ensigns. The recovery of the Zaimph
and the accession of Narr' Havas to the
cause seemed to have turned the tide.
Two Spectacles
nants of the mercenaries were exter-
minated Matho tried to die with them,
but orders had been given that he be
taken alive: and when he tried to throw
himself upon the lanees the lances opened
into lane before him.
Then they took him and they loaded
him with chains And not until Matho
had been made captive would Salammbo
celebrate her marriage with Narr' Ha-
vas.
A great procession brought the daugh-
ter of Hamilcar and her intended hus-
band through the rejoicing city up to
the great and splendid marble hall where
the marriage feast was to be celebrated
This hall opened upon a terrace from
which could be seen all that took place
in the city beiow-it gave a clear view
of the streets through which, that day,
Matho was to go to his death--for Car
thage had planned for herself two great
spectacles on one day-the marriage and
the torture.

Surrounded by Barbarians

Hamilcar had to make strategy q sub
stitute for force. But in this lie was
an adept.
He managed to get an army by the be-
seging forces of the barbarians, and
many a battle was fought, many a m.
neuver executed. At one time 1t seemed
as II the troops Of Carthage must be de-
stroyed.
In mountain fastness Hamilcar, in a
camp which he had hastily constructed
and rudely fortified after defeat, was
awaiting his annihilation, or change
of fortune.
Surrounding him were the barbarian
hordes and the troops of NarT' Havas.
Matho conceived that he had the Car
thagfnians within his grasp.

camp. The soldiers of African race re-
garded it as something which was to
make their victory sure.
But many of the Northern barbarians,
while they regarded the talisman with
ave. doubted but that sacrilege had been
committed
Had we but ships.'' said the Gauls
that night to one another, had we but
ships we would sail away to the seas
we know and leave these people to their
own strange Devices
But the advent of Narr' Havas into the
camp was welcomed by all. Here was
something tangible and no doubts con-
cerning the anger of the gods were mixed
up In the matter

Still DELAYING PAYMENT

When the authorities had induced the
troops to leave the city they really had
an idea of paying them. But with tho
selfishness characteristic of the Cartha-
ginian merchants-or rather that class
where were called 1.-THE Rich and as
such, had voice in the government, no
sooner was the immediate danger of the
sack of the city by the .mercenaries
passed than the officials began to con-
trive means of getting out of their OBJ
legations.
Finally they sent the ''Suffete" Han
moan old man dying of leprosy, i'm
mensely rich and the rival and envier
OF Hamilcar-to the camp.
