DIES OF BROKEN HEART.

The worldwide mourning over the
death Of Pope Plus Y. viii be rendered
the more intense by theecircumstances
under which the end came. The head
OF the Roman Catholic church undoubt-
eddy died of grief over the terrible
war in which practically all Europe
has become involved, with its inevita-
BILE train of misery and desolation.
Weakened by i'll health and realizing
perhaps more fully than any other
person the extent OF the calamity
which the war involves, the pope was
unable to bear up beneath the weight
OF his sorrow.
In the death of Pope Plus the world
loses an ecclesiastical ruler who has
ably and conscientiously filed every
requirement OF his high Office and
whose influence has always been for
the betterment and upbuilding Of man
kind. His passing viii cause univer-
sal sorrow.

The War and the Peace Movement

, dissolving of many antagonisms when
have estopped progress, for a chasten-
ed Europe should be fairly reason
able Europe.
10 means that there will at the end
be called European conference
new conference of Vienna or new
peace of Westphalia-from which we
may hope that new Europe VIII
emerge, a Europe so different from the
old as the Europe remade after Water
! loo differed from the Europe of the
days before the French revolution.
But the new Europe is not likely to be
changed so much in its geography as
! in it's ideas of government. Even in
Napoleons time the nations were too
/ firmly set" for even that transcendent
military genius.
The peace program has called for
the establishment of methods of con-
ciliation as contrasted with those of
suspicion in order that the govern
ments of the world might correspond
with the demands rendered essential
by the enormous changes wrought by
the development of the credit sytem,
rapid transportation and the inevita-
bly, increasing unity of nations.
The peace movement finds no salts
faction in its expectation that through
the tremendous cataclysm in Europe
its own cause may be benefited. The
horror of the method is exactly the
thing that has given the peace move
ment its strength. If it takes such an
experience as the present to convince,
gratitude for the outcome must be
tempered by deep sorrow at the ire
mendous cost in blood, money and in
ternational disorder which could have
been averted If nations through the
years had but given a more willing ear
TO the reasonable program of honesty,
fair dealing and good understanding
in international relations.

Outdoor Work for Prison Inmates

and shoes, blankets, tents, etc, for
the mounted police and the militia;
also mail bags and rural mail boxes
as well as the articles usually manu-
featured in our prisons.
But above all the commission ap-
proves outdoor work, preferably on
the farm or in stone crushing. Farm
work has proved a successful means
of employing the prisoners in the
province of Ontario and its develop
ment in the Dominion peuitentiaries is
urged.
Road work is also suggested in the
report, but the commissioners have
the old fear that exposure to the pub
lie eye is scarcely fair to the prison
ers. The stretches of stone roads
built long ago by the convicts in
Australia are referred to as proof that
excellent roads can be built ~ con-
victs, but the commission sees also
the chains and other degradations
which attended the building of these
roads.
Such things have passed away in
the road camps OF the western states,
where the men work under the honor
system. In Ohio the gangs of pris-
oners working on the roads cannot
be distinguished from gangs of free
workingmen. In Illinois it is the same
story and in addition the men are
getting the same wages as free work
ingmen.
