Why THEY FAILED.

Last year in the United States and
Canada over $4,000 failures are listed by
the commercial agencies. Over $4,000
OF these had been classified by the
commercial agencies as Of no credit or
of moderate credit. Only eighty-six
listed as OF very good credit failed.
The assertion is made that 95 per
cent Of all who go into business fail
The percentage of the last wears fail

this assertion may be true Ninety-six
per cent Of the failures listed last year
in Canada and this country We're Of

little credit" That is among those who

Progressive Measure. in E..t.rn state.


New England legislatures now in
session are showing distinct reflec-
ton Of the west in the class of Ques-
tons that are daily at the front IN their
debates. To degree not yet to be de-
ternined they are following western
precedent in their treatment Of meas
ures of social and political reform. 1t
Will require Y survey Of their completed
work later to measure the extent to
which they have actually come into &C.
cord with precedent furnished by the
younger states. AT this moment. if the
names of the states should be stricken
from the daily record Of their proceed
ings it would be easy to conclude that
the story was of legislatures in the
central or far west.
When the senate Of the state Of
Maine, TO take the latest instance,
passes the anne ndment TO the constitu-
ion granting full suffrage to women by
vote of twenty three to six, the
pressure of the progressive sentiment
is revealed. In Massachusetts, the eff
fort to take a plebiscite on suffrage.
which was shown to be device to
sidetrack the submission Of a fuil-suf-
frage amendment, has failed and the
issue is to be clearly drawn, with the
apparent certainty OF a much stronger
support for the constitutional change
than for many years and the strong

The Register and Leader is con-
cerncd TO know what Iowa gains by
putting the industrious workers OF
the state 10 the cost Of maintaining
Haley N his solitary cell. when Haley
might have in the past eighteen
months been utilized not only to the
extent Of his own support. but to the
supror. OF those who should be de-
pendent upon him and to his own
physical! ard moral regeneration
What is there about solitary conflne-
,nert in iGeness TO commend itself 10
the intelligence of q state like Iowa.
1t il: important whether the in
dus:!!ous workers Of the state are to
he pat to the expense. in the name OF
justice. of driving more men into IN
sanity in solitary confinement without
employment.
The point which our Des Moines
contemporary seems wholly TO have
overlooked IS the need Of maintaining
prison discipline. Haley violated the
rules in writing a letter without per-
mission. Again he violated them IN
refusing to obey orders to go 10 WORK
on the chair contract. How is els
cipline to- be maintained if he shall
not be kept in solitary confinement
so long as he persists in his refusal to
obey orders? suppose that. encour :
aged by his example. all prisoners
should refuse 10 work. as doing vio-
,enoe 10 their conviction OF justice, on
the chair contract? There would be a
condition of mutiny in prison, ana
authority would break down.
This brings us to the point OF the
whole matter Such a muttny woule
caIl the attention OF sluggish nina
ed legislature TO the need OF aoo''s.i
ing. in the name Of humanity. ths
prison contract system. Moreover, tht
absolute authority Of the prison war
den whose tenure OF office Is deter
mined by his ability TO keep oo"f
scandals, suggests The need OF pro'io
ing appeal from mis- arbitrary judgment
70 a competent tribunal. We "ouie
not tolerate absolute power IN an!
individual outside prison walls. an.
we should not tolerate it in i warden
There is suggestion Of malice SO stronA
in the treatment accorded Haley as u
make it imperative that provision o'
MADE for passing upon the punishment
accorded prisoners in like cifcuhi
stances. Ii is necessary TO secure
conviction by jury. or plea o
/ guilty. 10 SEND man TO prison. bu
I once q man is in prison the caprice .
| a warden may send him to Slow ans
.orturous death. This is wrong, ah'
more than wrong: it is criminal.

man to refute the proposition that 1t is
the LAWYERS who run the court and not

eight to twentyfour months behind ITS

presiding judge or stricken from the
calendar. The judges themselves are
not wholly to blame for this condition
of affairs. lawyers in many instances
being responsible, Cases are continued
at request of attorneys. time is spent in
innumerable unnecessary delays that

What the country needs is not more

Possibility that Il VIII prevail. The suH-
fraxo agitation D old IA these states.
II was one Of the Seforms held dear by
the anti-slavssy group ana Il has made
ito periodical appearance In the eastern
legislatures. But Il was left 10 the
western states, whore constitutions
were being framed or were still plastic.
to furnish the experience that ID beins
used now az q new argument for the
inclusion Of women in the voting body.
1t has become q leading tenet Of the
progressive party and Is but ono article
In the now political faith that IL gain
ing a hold on the more conservatives
states. .a
In recent political campaigns, and
most strikingly in that OF last year. the
claim was. advanced by the extreme
conservatives OF the eastern states that
these commemorative were the most
truly progressive. A case was made out
by citing the laws that had been en-.
acted for the benefit Of labor, for the
protection OF women and children, for
the care of dependents, for humane
treatment OF offenders. for regulation
Of public utilities. The claim was not
exaggerated, but IT missed the distinc.
tfon between progress and progressive
ism, between the consideration Of tho
common welfare and the particular
proposals Of a new party. 1t is in the
items Of the program fgramed under a
political title that the old states are
row showing the new influence.
The trepidation Of the defenders OF
the old standards and the old exclu-
sions may feel. as they daily see new
and radical proposals at the front Of
legislative discussion and older ones
upon which they have looked with
little favor given new endorsement, is
hardly warranted. Government has not
become exact. 1t Is perpetually a field
for experiment and discovery. Its peril
is less in disposition to watch new
ventures and to appropriate their
teaching than in denial of the possible
thy Of new applications Of the old and
fundamental truths. The subsection Of
the new projects to the still potent
conservatism Of the east is probably
the process which will work out re-
forms that fall considerably short Of
revolution. Whatever the estimate OF
that balancing Of old and new ideas, 1t
is strikingly the present occupation Of
eastern legislature.
