PRISONS ESTABLISH
VALUABLE SCHOOLS
DR.. A. C. Hill Reports on the
Conditions in institutions.
Libraries Usually Poor.

Prison life is getting better all the
while. Modern humanitarian i'm
pulses are operating within the penal
institutions These conclusions are
drawn by Dr. A c. Hill of the New
York State educat tiOn department who
has reported for the Bureau OF Ed
ucation that schools are maintained
in many prisons. He has found that
forty-four out Of ffty-fve prisons in
vestigated IN the United States and
Canada have schools.
These represent an attempt to ap-
ply a favorable environment for per
sons unfit to remain in society. says
DR.. Hill They are the expression
Of the highest conception yet formed
Of the proper way to deal with men
and women segregated from society
for violating its laws. They are an
outRrowth Of the belief that the door
of hope must never be closed to any
human being. They are hurnanity's

and despair that settle down upon a

educational factor. and special atteu-
ton is given to them in the bureau s
bulletin. DR.. Hill notes that there IS
usually plenty of books, but that the
quality OF the reading matter is seldom
satisfactory. He cites the opinion of
II. II. Hart, of the Russell Sage Foun-
dation. that mot one prison in ten has
a suitable selection of books. Most OF
them are composed of one-third un-
readable books and one-third trash"
In his conclusion, DR.. Hill urges that
better methOds and greater efficiency
in character building are needed all
along the line-baCk TO the school ana
the home He believes that public
EFFORT should be directed more fully to
prov ding the right kind of education
for the thousands of neglected children,
whose environment is such as to make
the development of bad and dangerous
characters almost inevitable. The hope
fuI sign of the times is an aroused pub
lie sentiment that is demanding a full
knowledge of the facts and a vigorous
llse of the best means Of checking moral
degeneracy at It's source"

days. You cannot blame the railroads.
While they may be soulless they must
have a profit to live.
That is why we would welcome the
abolition of the free delivery Of freight
We feel that 1t would build up Wash

jobbers of merchandise are considered

freight rate equal with Baltimore on
Southern shipments, and prevent the
annoying delay in shipments now eN-

How Baltimore Benefits.
Detailing the delays in Washington
freight, Mr Hunt cited as an instance
that Washington freight shipped to the
valley of Virginia was held until there
was a carload. 1t was then hauled to
the yards at Brunswick, Nd, where cars
and trains broke bulk and again dis
tributed for points of destination.
Here 1t might be held again to make a
reasonable carload. or held by carload
to make a reasonable train haul. On
the other hand, he said, Baltimore would
probably be able to ship a full car a
day to such a point as Lynchburg, the
car going straight through to that
point.
That there is a big differential in
rates against Washington to points in
tie South and Southwest can not be
gainsaid. Mr.. Hunt declared. AleXan-
drIa is favored at an average of Z
cents a hundred, because Washington
shipments have to cross the bridge into
Virginia The same condition prevails
on freight business from Washington to
Virginia points as prevails with respect
to passenger fares, he declares, the

river having TO bear the burden Of high

Virginia State railway commission
For instance, II you are going from
Washington to Richmond II will cost
you far more IL you buy a through
ticket from Union Station here than 1t
will II you pay a train fare to Alex
andria and buy your ticket there.
Baltimore also has an advantage by a
few cents, Mr.. Hunt declares, and the
Washington merchant seeking business
IN the South, to which this city would
appear to be a natural gateway, must
meet higher rates than his competitors
pay and must put up with the annoy
ance of delayed shipments, against the

1t is nearly always a good plan to
make haste slowly, and this is the
course being pursued by President
Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan,
in regard to Mexico. However, it
should not be too long delayed, as our
government is already being severely
criticized by the other powers for what
they are pleased to call "dilatory tao

THE FORWARD PASS.

Progressive Democracy is the for
ward pass of government" said Hon.
Cone Johnson in speech on Woodrow
Wilson day at the Dallas fair.
But what is forward pass?" 1t is
a football play of recent invention and
of doubtful utility. 1t was quite popular
for few seasons, but has fallen into
disfavor, because of the risk involved
in executing 1t. 1t is the easiest of all
plays to be blocked by the opposition,
and shrewd captains employ it only
in desperate emergencies. AS a
ground-gainer" it is risky and uncer-
tain. In a gridiron contest between a
team that relies upon the forward pass
and one that plays straight football
the issue would never be in doubt.
The Smith county statesman has
coined pretty epigram. but 1t is not
as complimentary as he intended 1t to
be.-Fort Worth Record.
In the forward pass the opposing
players cannot interfere with the play

Work of installing the exhibit of
the Texas A. and NJ. College at the
Texas Cotton Palace, Waco, Texas.
was begun this morning. This exhibit
which is composed partly of the ex-
hibits of the College maintained at the
State Fair, Dallas, is perhaps the most
elaborate ever prepared by the College.
Practically the entire exhibit will
be sent from Dallas to Waco and in
addition, many new features Will be
added for the Waco celebration. The
exhibit at Dallas was one Of the mos.

Displays of bones of cows, hogs,
horses and sheep affac.ed by some of
the most common diseases, dipping
watts for the fight against Texas fever,
balanced ratons for animals. sermon
cites on hog culture. dairylng and
stock farming, all these were included
in the exhibit which will be shown at
the Waco Cotton Palace. The Horti-
cultural department will be represent
ed with specimens of tree surgery
with the necessary appliances and
sprays for fighting insectes and dis
eases, types of pecans recommended
for Texas growers, properly shaped
grains for planting, and other valuable
information. Work Of students of the
Textile engineering department; SAM
lpes for cotton chasing instruction, and
general instructions on cotton class
ing will be featured also. The Ento-
mology department will have an ex-
hibit, showing the various insects
which are common in Texas. including
both the harmful and beneficial bugs
and the acids and other methods of
combating these insects. The work
of the department of Architecture is
represented by designs of office build
ings, fountains, trimmed arches, and
other structures, which are prepared
by the students OF this department.

This exhibit is especially interesting
and gives clear insight into the work
being done in this department. The
Mechanical engineering department
will be represented by specimens from
the forge and wood shops, these speci-
mems being made by the students.
Especial interest is attached to the
display of the Electrical engineering
school which will have constructed
and in operation a complete wireless
telegraphy outfit. The station will be
under the direction of students from
the Electrical engineering department,
who will communicate with Houston
and Galveston operators. The ma
chine was donated to the College
sometime ago, but was never used ex-
tensively until recently.

the least attractive feature Of the dis
play, will be sent from Dallas to Waco

MILLS A PROGRESSIVE.

The Austin Tribune in discussing

following to say of Col. Chas. II. Mills
of Corsicana:
The past week has seen only two
added entries actually registered at
the course. making in all but an even
half dozen of the declarants out for
the preliminary warming-up. The last
two are Chas. II. Mills of Corsicana,
and Leopold Morris of Victoria.
Mills is a man of standing in the
party, and has a rather fetching rec
ord. In his own district, with nor
NAL prohibition majority of 5000, he
was elected to the legislature by a
flattering vote though pronounced

that he opposed Col. Jacobus VOL
tiers for United States Senator, and
opposed his friend Chester H. Ter.
rell for speaker of the house, show
ing beyond the peradventure of a
doubt that he doesn't drink out of the
anti trough just because he is told he
must.
Mills is a progressive, and real
one. He supported Wilson from choice
and not at any ones dictation, and was
a member of the Houston convention
and of the Texas delegation to the Bal
timore convention No sluggish reac
tionary blood limps its way through
his veins. He's thoroughbred, with
