discussing in various sections of the state

of the Merrimac, is at his post of duty.
However, he has found opportunity to

Judge Page of Milwaukee. imposed a
line of $40 and costs on Elizabeth Geiger.
IS, for wearing a skirt which was too
tight and much too short. The ver-
dict was that the woman had donned a
striking skirt decorated at the bottom
and cut with such economy of material
that 1t was necessary that 1t be given a
slit of extreme length to permit It's
wearer to move about. She had then
gone on parade on the south side. The
gown with its slit side provided such
! a display of silken hose and other things
| that men stopped on the street to look
and clerks in stores hurried to the win
cows to watch her as she passed. The
policeman who acted as censor was
Thomas Ryterski, who decided that sucn
clothes were not only unbecoming and
| immodest, but was also inclined to pre-
fer charge against her of disturbing
traffic on the public thoroughfares. :"
ANY woman who wears skirts whose
hem is more than II inches above the
ground is liable to fine In this court.

system would result if we could educate
those street car patrons who ride the
longest distance to take the seats fur
thest inside and leave the end seats for
the short distance riders. But the millen-

conductors to inquire or keep In mind the

the people have not fallen over them
selves up to the present moment in ex-
pressing gratitude.
Nothing is more conclusive or proof
positive that politics is quiet. The
farmer is busy in his field, the merchant
is endeavoring to prepare against the
season when the politician will prove his
ability to stir things, and the dweller
within the walls of the city is too much
satisfied with prosperity to permit the
office seeker to distress him.
Efforts. however, are being made to
disturb the era of peace. Captain Hob

be retained only in an advisory capac-
ity.' The receivers have decided on a
policy of vigorous retrenchment in all
the departments of the road. They in
tend to save about 100000 a year In
salaries alone. The Frisco has five vice
presidents receiving an average of s17. 5oc

ALABAMA STILL AT REST

The lack of popular appreciation IL as,
founding. There is about as much inter-
est IN discussion of the ambitious
dreams of these DISTINGUISHED statesmen
as in the theory of evolution.
But another day is coming. The peo-
pie have never been able to resist the
appeal of office seekers. Up to the pres
ent time, a realistic presentation of the
one-act drama. THE Yellow Peril" SUD-
ported by talented cast the function of
which is to prove by artful language and
decimal fractions that the Japs are about
to land on the Pacific coast, has had no
requirement for the IS. r. O." sign. The
people, up to the present time, have not
become enraged over that masterpiece
of the painters art, in which the rail-
road is represented as an hundred headed
hydra fiendishly devouring the first born
of the land. And that the annual de-
mand of liquor is greater than has been
that of all the wars of the world is
still considered a matter over which to
smile.
But the inning of the astute politician
who has chiefly served himself is COM
ing. The mob will become aroused. A
drop of rain in time will wear away the
front of massive stone IT is to the
credit of the people, however, that up
to the present time at least the files
OF sly men have not disturbed the brood
ing of the gentle dove of peace.

The farmer with silo full of en-

cupies an Independent position. II he
does not have immediate use for the
contents 1t can be carried over from
year to year with practically no loss.
In case the market is favorable he can
fill up his feed yards at the most op-
perfume time The man who is thus
fortified can take advantage of ia
vorable market. He can buy when
others must sell. Should the pastures
fail in the hot summer months. and
scarcely year passes that they do
not decline in quantity and quality, he
draws upon bis ensilage for the succu-
lence which the pastures fail to pro-
vide. II there is shortage of crop due
to continuous dry weather or other
causes his silos contain the reserve
that carries his stock safely through
the winter Should the winter months
be attended by frequent storms Of
sleet and snow he is relieved of the
daily burden of digging his corn shocks
from under their icy covering, or If
the fields are wet he is not obliged to
injure the soil by pulling heavy loads
therefrom.

A Challenge to the I. w. w.

Chicago Evening Post: The New
York Call, which belongs to tho more
conservative wing of the socialist par
ty. challenges the 1. W. w. to shoH
what its ;ea1 s work has done for the
workers. Its review of the famous
I. w. W. tattlefields is made, of course,
from tie socialist point Of view rather
than from the point of view which tue
Evening Post would feel compelled to
take. but its summary is interesting,
nevertheless:
Lawrence was won by the L. W. w.
There ale at present over $4,000 people
out OF work in that city. 1t is not a
strike. 1t is a shutdown. A. Little
Falls tlre las been no Jail delivery in
spite Of the money spent on legal en-
penses. The walters strike may have
introduced some new ideas, but it mas
resulted in chaos. The BARRIERS strike
has not improved the trade. 1t has
bedeviled it. There is an instance
where the wise man Of the middle class
has used his wisdom to put his compe-
utor out Of business. Akron is the slave
town it was when the strike began,
more slave, perhaps, for the hope has
been crushed out Of the workers.
Is it just to demand little book
keeping here7
Would it be just to demand an &C.
counting from the 1. W. W.T.
Here is so much money poured into
the strikes. What have you done with
IT.
Here are so many promises made.
How have they been carried QUIT
Here are So many boasts Of superior
tactics. Where are the goodsf
So it is only fair to ask how I. w. W.
promises, boasts and brags size up with
results. 1t is easy to answer. The on
~ capitalist map is still all black, and
you can 60 to any battlefield and find
out what the results have been.
This is perfectly sound criticism OF
that notorious organization. 1t rusheS
to city, calls strike, leads it with
certain melodramatic methods on tt
victory, defeat or "draw". Then il
withdraws and things 60 on almost
precisely as before. Ettor and Giovan

THE AMERICAN PENAL SYSTEM
(By Frank Crane.)

It is hard, it is almost impossible,
for advocates Of a change in custom
or government to get out from under a
charge which has worn down to a
platitude.
The average man refuses to think.
when he can get his thinking ready
made.
For instance, we, who believe that
prisons and punishments are wrong are
generally classed with the sentimental
perverts who pet criminals, With the
women who carry bouquets to murder
ers, weep over the sad lot Of burglars
that have been justly laid by the heels
and want to feed them pie.
Allow US, therefore, to clearly state
our point Of view.
We are not opposed to the present
prison system because, of pity FOR jail
tirds. We are sorry for them. as any
human being is sorry, to witness srf-
fe-ing, but if their punishment were
good for them or for society at large
we would gladly applaud their stripes.
But our position is this: that The
facts in the case prove beyond any
reasonable doubt that the theory OF
punishment is both lmpotent for good
a-it fruitful for evil.
Why do We punish thief or .nhb.s
for examplef For three reasons oily
!kirst, to protect the cor.nrn nifty
against him. We incarcerate him
shave his head, put him at hard labor
Isl late him, or even hang him. SO that
ir1oeent citizens may be safe from his
rernicious activities.
Second. we punish him to teach him
lesson" to change him and mako
MIN an honest man.
/ Third, it is also to give an example
tn ether evildoers and by fear to dis
suade them from crime.
All very well. The only trouble is
that sending man to the penitentiarJ
4, cs not result in any Of these be ,efits
AS a rule, which any intelligent pris
81 keeper will verify, the convict wh,
has served his time comes back to 80
ciety a worse criminal than when HI
went to prison. From being an ordin
ary man, who committed crime By
impulse, he has become member O
the hardened criminal class and lis
greater menace to the commonwealth
than ever.
| As rule, instead Of the priso1
changing him to an honest man j
makes him a more vicious man. 1t des
troyes the little good character he had
| And, as rule, instead Of his pun
ishment deterring others it psycholog
ically develops more criminals.
Why, therefore. keep up a syster
that is proved by experience and res
son to work precisely contrary to villa
we expected it to work.
1t is a pleasure to note that the NOR
intelligent Of the lawyers themseive
are with US. At least they cannot b
accused Of maudlin sentimentaiity. A
recent meeting Of the American Ba
association, at Montreal, at which se'
sion William b. Taft was chosen pre-
