NOT DIVIDENDS
BUT SELF SUPPORT

Does it require superhuman in
tellect to perceive that prison was
not primarily intended to be a divi-
dend producer to the state Calves
ton News.
It does not. A prison is house
of correction. A place to reform the
misdirected tendencies of those who
are morally deficient. A detention
camp for those who needs must
be restrained of their liberty, their
presence being menace to organ
lied society. That they can not be
reformed, and at the same time sit
idly and hold their hands, is a fore
gone conclusion. An idle brain is
the devils workshop" and it can also
be as truthfully said that idle hands
are the workshops complete equip
ment. Without work there can be
no reformation. They can not be
pampered in idleness and at the same
time fitted for citizenship. They must
be worked in such a way as to make
them self supporting. They must feel
the sense of responsibility and real
ize that upon their daily labor de-
ponds their daily bread.
The kind of labor, the where,
when and how, is a matter to be de-
termined by our legislators, and 1t
should not be such difficult prob
lem either.
Any able-bodied man reasonably
employed, should be able to produce
sufficient to support himself and sew
eral others who are non producers.
Our penitentiary system should be
made self supporting. Not a "divi-
dend producer" but producer OF the
wherewithal to support its inmates,
and the method of this production be
within itself largely contributing
factor in their reformation.

WAGNER'S REVIEW
Morning Stock Letter.

New York, July 17.-London did not
respond TO our advance in stocks.
Prices sold one-half to two points off,
with Canadian Pacific weak. It was
noteworthy that the buying power on
the rise was light and after prices
were bid up bids were frequently with
drawn in active issues, such as Union
Pacific and Reading. In a word, much
of the buying came from shorts, and
when they covered, the demand van
ished. There is an element of danger
in the eastern labor situation, due to
the demand of the railroads that their
request for reduction of certain wages
be entertained in the forthcoming ar
bitration. We have reason to believe
that the men will. refuse to arbitrate
such demands. If they do, we will
again be face to face with danger of
strike. The Mexican situation is
considered by some as more grave.
President Wilson so far has ignored
the position of other nations so far as
we can judge. Now something must
be done. Germany is reported to be
pressing for action. Yesterdays sharp
rally was, in our opinion, nothing
more than a move against the shorts
| These having covered, prices will slip
/ back Under no circumstances would
we buy except on sharp declines.

trains brought the big show into the

600 horses, herds of elephants, and the
famous harness teams of camels and
zebras. No alarm clocks were needed

morning, for he was down at the
tracks before dawn waiting for the

was with this youthful throng a large

better and private advices received
here from Russia reports better wea-

Crop Reports.

Chicago, H., July 17.-Oats thresh-
ing just commencing. A few reports
of Is to 20 bushels yields have drifted
from Illinois. Ny oats reports run 20
to 75 per cent condition mainly.
About half say some gam since July
and the other half say loss. Gen
eral oats condition shows little i'm
provement. Bear pressure is entirely
due to old crop liberality-which will
vanish in September and October.
Our Wednesday corn reports again
average high. Southwest news indi-
Gates 20 point loss in Kansas and
10 in Nebraska; otherwise as whole
corn condition is reported liberal.
Impression pertains that December
corn is the leader and the September
premium is not jUstifiable. Alabama
and few southern states will show a
big corn decline this month.
Hay crop looks rs per cent of last
years giant yield and is a factor in
the coarse grains. Period of July
to 16 has brought extensive rains over
central west. The amount is perhaps
below a July average but delays rain
anxiety for moment.
On the July dip, corn has resumed
much of the wondrous speculative an
ticipation that marked May and June
Would follow December corn. Claims
Of certain big oats improvement or
the July rains can be doubted. Com
parsons of late improvement are fu
tile as we can see now that oats II

The provision market regards the
July Is amount of provision supplies
as too moderate. Position of Jul!
