MODERN piaNIrENrIARIEs

"HE appointment of Thomas Mott
Osborne to be warden of Sing
= Sing Penitentiary will be fol-
lowed, no doubt, by extensive
changes in that institution. Like John
Francies, warden of the Western Peni-
tentiary of our own State, Mr.. Osborne
believes that the prison should be a
corrective school rather than a place
in which society takes revenge upon
the individual for an offense against
its laws.
Mr.. Osborne is n man of wealth
and wide experience. When he first
considered prison work seriously he
had himself confined in a cell along
with convicted criminals in order to
get their viewpoint. He came out with
very distinct opinions and theories.
He does not believe that prison life
should be easy, but that the term of
confinement should be made to fit a
man to re-enter society better able to
meet it's demands and determined to
become a good citizen. He will frame
his policies as warden with this end
in view.
Comparatively few people know
that, largely through the instrument
taIity of Warden Francies, there is
being built in Centre county, in this
State, new penitentiary to be admin
istered along the lines laid down by
Mr.. Osborne for Sing Sing. 1t is To-
Gated far from the contamination of
the big city, the old prison plague of
tuberculosis is to be banished, men
confined there are to work in the open
in the pure air amid healthful sur
roundings, and they are to be given
opportunity to reform. They are to be
taught that the way of the wicked al
ways leads 10 trouble and that society
is the enemy of no man that lives
according to its laws and customs 1t
is an advanced step in Pennsylvania
and one that should work infinite
good.

MORoS CONTENTED

-OLO and Mindanao Moros have
concluded that they owe more to
the United States government than
v to the head of the Mohammedan
faith. They acknowledge themselves
Mohammedans, but pledge themselves
to raise no hand against Christians in
their islands should Sheik-Ul-Islam
declare war against the Christian
world.
This is the gist of message brought
by deputation of leading Moros TO
Governor Frank W. Carpenter, of the
Department of Mindanao and Sulu.
and cabled by him to Washington.
Since Turkey entered the war there
have been whisperings of an outbreak
among the Moros, following rumors
coming to them of the declaration of a
holy war. In one or two isolated sec
tions of the district fanatical Mo-
hammedan spellbinders have sought
to excite the Moros to acts of violence
by telling them that the flrmin pro-
nouncing holy war should be received
in Jolo.
Similar rumors abounded when Tur-
key was at war with the Balkan States,
but then, as now, the peaceful Moros
paid little attention to them or the
haranguing of the fanatics. 1t is Sc
riously doubted that they would show
much excitement if the fact that a
holy war had been declared was gen.
orally known to them. Their adher-
ence to the faith is not so strict as
that of the rest of the Mohammedan
world.
Nevertheless, if the people were dis
contented with the American govern
ment under which they have lived
since the United States took over the
islands, they would be ready enough
to use the excuse of a holy war to
revolt. The voluntary pledge of peace
is a tribute to American efficiency,
fairness and honesty in the insular
government.

TARIFF REvIsION-UPwARD.

mingled with amusement. the demand
of the Hon, Norman u. Mack for another
revision of the tariff; an upward and
not downward revision.
Mr.. Mack has been for fourteen

in the Democratic national committee
and for five. years he was chairman of
lation to the party's management COW
ers the second great period of tariff re-
form agitation, of impulse in the direc-

Manufacturing and mercantile en-
terprise In the United States is con-
fronted with an emergency. But this
same enterprise has almost within it's
grasp an opportunity not dreamed Of
even so short a time ago as last July.
The 0pportnnity rtn Is the tremendous

Congress should put its shoulder to

December. The only way to do ii is to
encourage new enterprise. The manu-
facturer is entitled to his free raw ma
terials SO that he may have easy prices
on his side in buying the raw products
from which his commodities are made.
''He IS also entitled to all the reason
able safeguards he can have In the way
of readiustment of such tariff schedules
as 1t shall be shown necessary to re-

standing army and the placing of a
great military burden on the shoulders
of the people.

INVENTORS. GET BUSY
by Wing Diuger

The cook who works down in the
kitchen
VIII tell you. so many folks say.
That odors from cooking. most always
VIII drive all her hunger away.
And so / think some shrewd inventor
These days. when the cost is so high
For living, should spring some inven-
tion
To help hungry folks to get by.
For instance, why can't there be tubing
To lead to each room from the stove,
So that oil in the house who are hungry
Could smell the food cooking? BY
Jove!
Why that way one meal could be cooked
by
A restaurant keeper, who'd sell
A tube each diner and charge him
\ cent or two, say. for a smell.

7 FAD it not been for the news
- papers of the North and West,
! : Congress would have gone to
the rescue of the Southern cot
ton growers with vast funds from the
national treasury. 1t was only the
vigorous attacks made on the plan
that prevented the militant Democrats
of the South from carrying it through
both the House and Senate at Wash
ington.
How ill-advised such q course would
have been is now apparent. Only a
few weeks have elapsed since this raid
on the treasury was planned, We
were told that the only means of saw
ing the cotton planters was for the
nation to take a hand in their affairs.
Now we find the cotton market rapidly
recovering, the exchanges opening and
the demand fair at I Il cents. Indeed,
the outlook for the cotton industry is
distinctly bright. Also, the $500, 900, 600
which it was proposed the nation
should loan is safe in the vaults of the
United States.
No country has been so harrassed in
recent years by ill-adyised legislation
and national meddling with private
affairs as our own. The present in
stance is a fair example of the good
that can be accomplished by keeping
the national government as much as
possible out of private business.

double burden upon our chari-
\ ties. The cry of starving Bel
gium has sounded across the seas
and we have been quick to respond. We
have given generously and we must
continue to give. But because of our
response to the appeal from abroad
we must not forget our own dependent
institutions. They must not suffer be-
cause ruthless nations have laid Bel
gium in the dust and driven her people
starving into the fields and highways.
We must give twice. instead of the ac-
customed once, that is all.
For instance. this week the Harris
burg Hospital and the new Polytechnic
Hospital are asking for Thanksgiving
donations. Because we have given to
the Belgian fund, and because we
shall be called upon to give again and
yet again. is no reason why we should
he the less generous to our home in
stitutions. The fact that this double
giving must entail some real sacrifice
does not alter the case.
Indeed, we in America ought to be
happy in making a Thanksgiving offer
ing this year. Surely we as a people
are blest among the nations. And the
way to show our appreciation is by
sharing the blessings that have been
showered upon us.

N UGH Is Delng SAID Just now
M concerning our army and navy
4V / deficiencies. Authorities agree
that we are woefully weak on
shore and that our navy is by no
means as strong as it ought to be. In
case we. are drawn into war, they say,
we would be at the mercy of an in
Vading foe at a dozen different points
along the coast. Experts are urging
the immediate strengthening of our
naval and land forces.
OF course, If we are to have a navy
and an army 1t should approach as
nearly as possible the maximum of
efficiency. But we should not forget
that If Germany, Russia, England and
France had not been ready to fight ct
the drop of the hat there would have
been no war. 1t was military prepa-
ration that brought on the present con-
been preaching peace, should go slow
in building up an army and navy that
could be held over the heads of other
countries as a constant menace. 10
be sure, the experts are talking only
of defensive measures, and so long
as they confine themselves to putting
our own household in order against
the possible invasion of a foreign foe
there can be little objection, but It has
been shown in Belgium how fruitless
1t is to pit modern fortifications against
siege artillery.
1t is difficult for the lay mind in
clined to peace to judge the matter
fairly. as so many diverse elements
enter into the problem, but as the safe
ty of the nation has been successfully
guarded in the past by its volunt IS, 1t
may not be amlss to look again to
that end of the service. With the
regular army brought up to that state
of efficiency wherein its noncommis-
stoned officers might be promoted to
the commissioned ranks in time of
need, with large stores of artillery,
small arms, ammunition and supplies

RAILROAD VALUATION

HAT was a fine jolt given the
railroads of the country by
Charles A. Prouty. director of
the valuation of railroads of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
when he declared yesterday that the
work of valuation of the railroad prop
critics will cost $50,000,0OO and that
the railroads would have to pay $685.
900. 900 of it.
When the theoretical reformers at
Washington provided a year ago for
this inventory they said it would not
cost more than SIC, 900, but as the
enormity of the task grew upon them
they raised their figures to the $780,
100000 mark. Railroad experts be-
lieve that even this estimate is about
half of the actual expense of the pro-
posed undertaking. And all this for
the sake of satisfying the public mind
of the value of the railroads at a
period five or ten years previous to
the completion of the valuation. Now
and then the Interstate Commerce
Commission appears to be a positive
menace to the prosperity of the United
States. 1t has been arbitrary in it's
whole attitude toward the railroad in
terests and seems utterly indifferent to
the results of its methods of proce-
dure.
1t will hardly be contended that the
railroad companies have always done
what they should, but the lessons
which they have learned or ought to
have learned during recent years
ought to justify the l. C. C. in adopting
a different attitude toward this import
