Discussing his treatment of prts-

of proper Imprisonment resolves itself
simply to this: Is 1t better to beat q
man through his prison term and turn
him out a criminal, or make him do
good honest work and keep his mind

theory acting on the convict himself
is helpful. It's up to him if he doesn't

POPULATION BOOSTED.
Borough Gets About fGol New Inhabit-
 ants All at Once.

The 2S families announced 50 be coming here from West Warren Mass, arrived Friday at about 11s so'clock, filling a car on the passenger train due about that hour. There was ap- preXimately 100 men, women and chill dren in the party and they gave the borough's population such a boost as it has not had in many moon.
 The newccm cmers, are Polish people and are to work in the mill of the Danielson Cotton company, which when in full operation will be running close to 2,oQ0 looms. They attracted a great deal of attention as they walked from the station to the mill company's village. where they will oe- cupy the tenements that hive been vacant for so long.
 On>what was formerly known as the White Row, in the rear of Water street, the new employees have commenced to move into the five vacant dwellings that contain twelve tenements and into the tenement block owned by the company in the rear of the Keystone building.
 All of the. new people who are ge- ing to work will prebabiy%be in the mill by Monday and the payroll of the plant will immediately take big jump. The coming of the West War ren people will practically offset the loss in population that Danielson suf- fered when the mill closed down about two years ago. but more operatives are needed to make full complement of help at the mill.
