Everybody at Church Sunday.

MT. Editor A new sort of celebration is reported just now from various quarters under the title of an Every body at Church Sunday'-not as, an end in itself, but as a suggestion of what church going might be like right along if everybody went Everybody Why should anybody go at all?
 Because God is worth honoring and knowing better, whether by Jew or Greek, Catholic or Protestant Be- cause the kingdom of righteousness and the realization of brotherhood among men deserve active-not pas sive-promotion, and concern every one of us. Because the experience ot generations has found it true that the fountains of spiritual life and active goodness and ceompanying joy flow most freely where the men who care for these things meet to worship and work together.
 These are some out of many reasons why "eVerybody's" church going should not be delegated to few. We all feel that somebody ought to keep the churches open and make them even more a force for good than they are Is it not better to get actually counted on that side than by habitual absence to vote blank ballots, if not negatives outright?
 Not every one. of course, can be in church on any single Sunday Some are confined by age or sickuness, oth- CTS by attendance upon such, and oth- CTS still by the pressure of tasks which may not be laid aside by all al the same moment. No one is better aware of this than the minister who has regularly visited his people. But he knows also how many there still are who, if they would. could by theil presence and cooperation hasten the attainment of those ends which the church has not yet been able fully tc attain. The man in the street. has an easy job pointing out in his wisdom how Doorly the work of the church is done and how few there are doing it When he bears a hand himself there will be one more lifting and better

SOLVING THE JAIL PROBLEM.

The value of ther state farm for the
 treatment of the rounders has won
 widespread recognition and that Con
 necticut exists to-day without such is
 due simply to the condition of it's
 finances. Economy demanded that it be delayed. The merit in the idea still exists and a number of states have the plan in successful operation. It has even been extended to cities for the solution of the jailbird problem.
 This is the method which has been adopted in Kansas City and which is meeting with excellent results. A board of pub1ic welfare is placed in charge of this work and they con 1 duce the farm and study the prisoners
 who are sent there by the city courts. 1 After the necessary obServa ton this I committee has the power to grant pa- roles upon the condition that it is de- | served and under the restrictions that He must abstain from intoxicating l liquors
 He must move into a desirable neigh borhood if his surroundings are bad
 He must report each week to the l board
 Any violation of any of these pro- visions means his immediate return i to the municipal farm.
 l In some instances profit has been 1 shown in the operation of such farms
 aside from the moral benefit much 1 the same as resH1ts from the similar idea which is in force at the county aail in Windfsam county, but i in addition the Kansas City plan takes 1 I'D the all important idea of caring 1 for the families of the prisoners. It I is thus made apparent that an excel 1 lent step has been taken for the soiv- 1 ing of 8 trying problem as well as 1 an important reclamation work. It l Is 8, matter to which many municipal I ities can afford. to give much thought

NEW YORK sTATE GRAFT.

It is strange and d5screditable po- sition which. Governor Glynn of New York state Is taking regarding the effort to have District Attorney Whit man appointed a special deputy att torney general of the state, in view of the commend dable object which prompts such & step If the governor Is re- strieted. by law from making any such appointment he should have been sat- isfied to have confined himself to such a declaration That he did not, how ever. and even went out of his way to say that he would not if he could and laid the whole thing to a polit- ical trick places him in a peculiar light befores the people. When he as- suned office the declared that his term of office shfsuh be characterized by uubossed rule and that the interests of the people salealad be guarded.
 In view of this stand and his ~de- termination to be impartial there is nothing which, should so arouse him to action like the revelation of graft and a movement to uncover ii, rather than to protect it. District Attorney Whitman has proved his ability to get at the bottom of it His work is rec agnfged as non partisan and the char acterization of the request as polit- teal looks like an attempt to avold the needed cooperation Surely Mir. Whitmans work qualities him for such a place and the conditions demand the pursuit of graft The attitude of the governor demands that he take up such work as he would refuse to turn over to MT Whitman The failure to do so and the successful endeavors to bare the graft scandals in New York state now rests entirely upon the shoulders of the governor He has de clared his sympathy as against the man who can succeed if anyone can
