commandments:
1. To rise at 1880, to retire at 10000
2. To exercise half an hour daily.
8. To read at least a chapter of the
Bible daily.
4. To attend the theater once a

5. To attend all the important lee

Prison Reform Praised.

Law Notes makes this comment on
the recent prison reform in the state
of Washington by which the inmates
of the penal institutions are allowed
a small daily wage for their labor,
which is paid to their families:
aside from the humaneness of this
practice, it has its value In the ad-
ministration of the criminal law, for
no one will venture to dispute that
many criminals who should be in
prison are at large because juries,
out of regard for the suffering of
their families, have refused to convict,
or judges after conviction have sus-
pended sentence, or imposed light
sentence, out of regard for the same
fact. OF course with such system
in force the reason for such unwar-
ranted (from a legal view leniency
is removed, and the criminal receives
his just punishment regardless of fam
1y connections. And certainly If the
state can make money out of the labor
of it's convicts, there is no good reason
why it should pocket the gains, leav-
ing the family of the criminal, in no
way responsible for his misdeed, to
bear the real punishment for his
crime"

STILL USE HORSE AND WAGON
Transportation Methods Of Old Days
Yet Employed by Majority OF
Mankind.

The history of highway transporta-
tion since the days of the Roman en-
pire exhibits few phases and great
turning points which have marked
new eras in progress, in efficiency, in
conveniences or economy. Historians
of transportation tell US that mans
first land vehicle was boatlike struc-
ture without wheels, which was pulled
by sheer brute strength, first by man
and then by animals which he sub
jugated, the OK, horse and mule. The
next step in land transportation was
by means of crude rollers, which were
clipped underneath the vehicle very
much on the order of the rollers which
we see in use in moving small build
ings short distances.
When the revolving wheel was ap-
piled to vehicles a great impetus was
given to highway transportation and
for 1000 years at least, until very re-
Gently. highway transportation saw
very little change or improvement,
says the Engineering Magazine.
If we carefully compare the methods
of highway transportation in the days
Of the Roman empire and the year
1912 we find that the greater percen-
tage of the world is still using the
horse and wagon very much after the
fashion of the Romans; we see no
great evolution in highway transpor
tation parelleling the wonderful ad-
vance that has been made in power
transportation by rail or trolley. The
delivery of our merchandise is much
after the fashion of 5000 years ago,
although the motor, the iron horse of
the highway, has reached mechanical
perfection in the span of ten years;
however, so great slave to custom is
man that he finds today comparative
ly little commercial utilization of one
of the greatest civilizing agencies and
efficiency tools that so far has been
given the world.
The development of this efficiency
tool has gone on so quietly and at the
same time so thoroughly that the
world at large grounded in horse ira
ditions, has not yet been informed on
motor transportation. To an investi-
eating mind it seems paradoxical that
in the twentieth century the human
race should be using for one purpose
means that were employed dozens of
centuries ago.

cHiNA's FUTURE OF INTEREST
Every Student Realizes the PossiblIi-
ties That Are Part of Country's
Present Development.

China is tossing restlessly in her
age-long sleep, and shows signs of
awakening. This situation appeals to
the United States only indirectly; but
most of the land-hungry European
nations are waiting at her bedside,
and are guessing as to her present
pathologic condition and her outlook
for future health and strength. Com
petent judges near at hand agree that
if China were to produce, soon, some
great leader. he would become the
cs-sse< Of crystallization for the sat
urated solution of loyal sentiment,
which is latent in this mighty people.
Lacking such a living leader, the Chi
nese may call upon Confucius, and
unite the several diverse provinces
under a potent bond of religious fer
vor. However the influence of the
great ethical teacher may have waned
during the past century, he has not
become a negligible quantity, as the
recent surprising observance of his
birthday fully attests. About week
before that date a circular letter was
sent to all the governors Of provinces,
setting forth the vs1:aes of Confucius.
The intention was that this statement
should be presented to local magis-
trates, and by them be brought before
the plain people Thus way would
be prepared for the subsequent eleva-
ton of the great and honored sage as
the true leader of the new republic.
Naturally, we would expect him to be
held most highly in honor by the old
dethroned Manchu dynasty. Young
China" however, realizes that the
country greatly needs both leader
and religion, and that these two
needs could be met by a revival of
the Confucian cult probably in a mod
ernized form. Twenty years ago the
sage's birthday was observed only
slightly and sporadically, but this year
there has been a widely spread and
distinctly fervent expression of pub
cessions and public meetings are re-
ported from all the provinces. Young

REFUSED IMPORTED GOATS
Threatens to Take an Old Trenton
Industry to Italy If Customs
Men Do Not ReIent.


Trenton.-Refusal of the landing OF
two Persian goats may be responsible
for the removal from this city OF the
Fisher Anvil Works, one of the oldest
manufacturing establishments In Iren-
ton. This, at least. is the threat
made by Mrs. Harriet Fisher Andrew.
proprietress of the works, and wife OF
Lieutenant Andrew, of the Argentine
Republic When Mrs. Andrew arrived
at Hoboken recently she brought win
her the two goats, one of which was
to be installed at her farm in Ewing
township and the other to be given
as a mascot to the Argentine battle
ship recently launched at the Camden
plant of the New York Shipbuildlng
company.
The customs authorities refused to
permit the goats to be brought ashore
because of a law passed at the last
session of congress prohibiting the
Importation of cloven-footed animals
from Italy because of the prevalence
of mouth and foot disease in that
country. Mrs. Andrew. who had paid
a large price for the goats, was In
censed and at once set about trying
to get a special order from Washing
ton for their release. Thus far moth
ing has been accomplished.
Former Mayor Wittpenn OF Jersey
City was asked to use his influence in
behalf of the goats. Mrs. Andrew
tried the expedient of having the goats
bonded for delivery aboard the Ar
gentine battleship, whose construction
has been supervised by her husband.
but was informed by the federal au'
thorities that this could not be done
Mrs. Andrew threatened that if some
thing were not done she would move
her factory to Italy. She has been
much in the public eye and made 4
