JAIL CONpITIONs.

When a Chicago judge liberated thirty two prisoners upon their prom ise to voluntarily appear before him in court, it appeared like q test of the faith which can be placed in human beings and a trial of the idea that even those who get into the police courts will do better if given the proper chance Such might have been in the mind of the magistrate but what really actuated him at that particular time was the condition of the jail which he visited. It's crowded, stifling and unsanitary condition made it apparent to him that it was no place even for the retention of prisoners
 There is no reason for a prisoner to expect that he should be shown all the attention and provided with all the facilities and conveniences which are to be had at a hotel but there are considerations which should be shown such as those which failed to be pro vided for the Chicago men. There is no reason why men behind the bars should be made to submit to unjusti-
 fable conditions That he has trans gressed the law does not mean that his health should be endangered. There is a need of a thorough chang ing of such practice and where such out of date institutions are maintained they should be replaced with modern construction permitting ventilation, overcoming crowding and complying with accepted sanitary requirements. The jail. whether a city or a county Institution, can serve it's purpose with out being a place of torture.

THE SUNDAY LAW.

Sharp was the criticism which Rev. M D. Kneeland applied to Governor Baldwin in his Bridgeport address for not vetoing the Sunday observance bill which passed the last session of the legislature, by which a restricted form of sports is permitted on Sunday af- ternoons. That he yielded to the clam bring of the sporting and commercial element was the cause given for att taching blame to his action. rather than that he had weighed the matter and acted in accordance with the re- quirenbents of changing citizenship.
 It is a question whether Rev. Mir. Kneeland has not made his attack in the wrong direction since the governor has presumably acted in accordance with the demand of the commonwealth. and whatever chiding is to be done might well be directed to those believ- CTS in the strictest Sunday observance who failed to manifest their disap
 proval of the proposed legislation, but sat quietly by and failed to show as much opposition as there was approval of the idea. The change makes no concessions to commercial interests, but rather restricts them. It simply legalizes the amateur games which have been carried on illegally but with more or less public approval. It was an action which made the law conform to the demands of a changing public sentiment. and whatever effort is made against it is lost unless it is directed against that very same power.
