PARENTS OF CRIME.

Raymond Riordon, in the Craftsman.
Passion, greed, ignorance are the
parents of crime. Work-not fatigue
-deadens passion. Work developes
intelligence. If work gives an
unfair return, then passion is not deadened,
but kindled into fame. If work be but
animal labor, then greed is inhamed. If
work be only for bread, then body alone,
not mind, is fed. Work must be the at
tribute of the SOUL And it can be, pro-
vided it is not branded with the placard.
Failure-failure in succeeding to rob, fail
ure in succeeding to out-wit, failure in
being born of the rich.
Our schools of the common people teach
pupils from books SO they may not have to
do manual work. Or if trade schools, Of
fering manual training, they send children
out as mechanics, but do not develop the
qualities which would enable them to rise
against INSCRIPTIONS labor leaders. Our
children do not toll enough, and thus are
not happy. Many of our financially
successful men have not toiled enough, and
they do not know the mind of the laboring
man, and so patronize when they. try to
help. Our schools do too much for the
child, and as result the child can do little
for himself.

WILL NOT REpRlEvE ALL CONDEMNED MEN.

Tacoma Ledger: r:-Governor Hiram w.
Johnson will not issue wholesale reprieves
to save from the gallows the thirteen con-
victed murderers who are now awaiting the
death penalty in San Quentin and Folsom
penitentiaries. Asked what action he
contemplates taking on the petitions
and resolutions praying him to issue re-
prieves so as to prohibit any executions un-
til the proposed anti-capital punishment
measure has been placed before the people
at the next general election, November,
1914, the governor said:
81 have no such intention. The only
condemned men. who will be reprieved will
be those concerning whom l wish further
information from an examination of the
records.

mission Announces Some Startling
Innovations.

St Cloud Journal lPress:-Frank L. Ran
dali, the new chairman of the Massachu-
setts prison commission, from Minnesota,
has announced some rather startling inno-
vations. One of his schemes is to provide
for the support of prisoners family by
paying to his wife or other dependents for
the work done by the man while serving
his sentence. M
In commenting on his plan, Mr.. Ran
dali stated that he is to start novel plan
of training for prison guards and other
officials.
81 want them to learn that the prison is
place for treatment rather than for pun
ishment, he said.

Mankato Revew:-The state "jag farm"
at Willmar, Mimi, is growing in popular
ity. Since June l, sixty patients have been
admitted to the Institution and the standing

At first, after the establishment of the in
stitution two years ago but few commit
ments were made. For some reason this
condition has changed and the board of
control is pleased tha, its experiment is fin
ally getting recognition.
DR.. H. A. Tominson, who was the first
superintendent, died last month and DR..
George Freeman is now in charge. 1t is
understood that he will be named superin-
tendent on August LIST.

ARIZONA PEOPLE TO VOTE ON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

Saltwater Gazette: people have
had proposition put up to them by the
governor, to be voted upon There are
five men in confinement, convicted of
murder, and whether they shall hang or
not is to be put to vote, the governor
having reprieved the five men until Dec.
19, 1914. The bill to abolish capital pun
ment will be voted upon in November,
1914. If it carries, the five will probably
be sent to prison for life; if it does not
meet with the approval of the voters, the
FIVE will hang if they live until that date.

The Story of an Ex-prisoner who "Came
Back" and a Plea for the "Square
Deal"

Duluth News Tribune:-There are ex-
ceptions to all rules. A distinguished one
is c.. w. Morse, who has not had the trials
nor met the prejudice usual to men who
have served term in the penitentiary for
what may politely be called financial de-
linquences. His has been a full pardon,
not only by the president, but by his public.
Commonly it is very hard for man to
find employment handling other people
funds after he has been convicted of en-
bezzlement, of absorbing trust funds, OF
abusing financial confidence, or of any OF
those peccadillos which make ducks and
brakes of other peoples money.
But Morse, pardoned because he was
supposed to have but short time to live,
found the means to spend several months
in Europe travelling de luxe, and stepped
back into his old vocation. He at once
began combining ship companies.
He has recently become president of one
of his own creations and is said to have
amassed new fortune of some 81, 900, 900;
it would be safer, however, to divide this
several times. But he is prosperous. No
one has Stunned him, none of his former
associates have turned him the cold shoul-
der.
He must have been able to get abundant
credit and goodly number must
trust him as of old. We do not grudge
him his success; we are glad of it. But
we wish others might find the same lenien-
cy, we wish they might find the same
charity, the same broad forgiveness.
There must be lot of good as well as a
lot of ability in this man, but SO there is III
others who have gone wrong and paid the
laws penalty. Take those men in the
Ohio penitentiary. When the nearby city
was recently threatened by the floods they
saved it.
They were taken from prison in large
squads and worked day and night strength
ening the embankment that held back the
waters. If it had given way, the city
would have been covered by from two to
Twelve Iect VI Wdtci. L hcy "oiNSu iohS
hours and then stopped, reluctantly, fol
rest
They worked in darkness as we'll as light.
There were no guards with guns to watch
them. They were saving lives and prop
>erty. They were sacrificing themselves fol
others. They were doing big work; they
were doing something worth while, ano
felt the value and dignity of it.
Not one escaped tried to escape
They all worked eagerly and untiringly
and when the city was saved they went bacl
to their cells with glow of pride. The!
had done something worth the doing ant
worthy of their manhood.
There is a tremendous lesson in this, ant
the same lesson is shown in the case o
Morse. There is a mighty lot of splendi'
manhood back of prison bars going t
waste. There is a mighty lot of homo
and pride there going to waste.
These men are paying the penalty G
their faults, of their weakness, and yield
ing to wrong ideals. But when they hav
paid the price this should be enough. Civ
them then the same chance as other mer
