Doesn't Approve Cruelty.
OF course, no right-thinking man
approves Of acts Of inhumaniuy and
cruelty to prisoners, and least of al
do the members of the Prison Com
mission.
1t is not to he presumed that
Changing will be the only ideal in
stitution in the land. Those in charge
of all the desperate and hardened
criminals must of necessity be deter
mined men, else you could not main
tain discipline. This being true, there
will occasionally be acts of seeming
brutality and when these occur and
come to the notice of the Prison Com
mission a correction is always ap-
piled. It must be remembered that
in a republican form of government
the theory is that the man next to a
duty will perform that duty, and then,
too, we are compelled to rely on Off
GERS to do their duty and conform TO
the rule Of the Commission.
In order to take extraordinary pre-
caution that this is done, while the
law requires semi-annual inspec-
tons, we have monthly inspections at
an expense of about $4,000 per year.
We are constantly striving to prevent
abuses while carrying out the law.
Plan TO Abolish Stripes.
Recently the Commission adopted
rule (Which has not yet been put into
complete effect on account of the eX-
pense II would entail to put in i'm

for the lowest grade Of convicts. We
hope by this to encourage the men 10

Each member of the Commission
went before tho legislative commit
tees and urged the passage Of the
probation law. We also urged the in
determinate sentence law, which we
feel will aid very much in maintain
ing discipline. for it will largely abol-
ish the inequalities of punishment
now inflicted by the various courts
and thus the convicts will have in
stilled in them a. greater respect fDF
the business OF the law.
We also urged the establishment Of
girls reformatory. There are va
rious other efforts that we have made
and are making to make our penal
laws and institutions as near perfect
as humanity possible.
We also have made strenuous et-
forts to secure from the Legislature
sufficient FUNDS to better equip our
boys reformatory. so that better
training can he given for usefulness
in their future lives

STILL EAGER FOR LECTURES
Idea That People Have Abandoned
Interest In Them Easily Proved
Erroneous.

"The palmy days OF che lecture plat
form" When we're they? Most folks
would guess before the war. when
Ralph Waldo Emerson demanded FIVE
dollars a night and tip Of four quarts
of oats for his horse. or a little
later when Eli Perkins used to say
all the asked was +. A. M f. nifty
and my expenses. Wiser ones will
point to the time between 1872. when
Henry Ward Beecher got his first ST.
900 Zee, and 1890, when Major Pond
paid Henry NJ. Stanley 100000 for
100 lectures. They will cite Mark
Twain. John B. Cough. p. T. Barnum
and a long list OF old timers that got
from $500 TO $1,000 a night In that
period, and they will tell you that
those times have gone,
Maybe they have, but the lecture
platform hasn't. Those who doubt 1t
may find food for thought In the fact
that two Of the Oldest lyceum bureaus,
recently combined, are actually doing
a business of more than $1,000, 700 a
year, mainly west OF the Mississippi.
This one combination furnishes lectur-
ers and entertainers during the sea-
son to at least $4,000 cities and towns,
where the audiences aggregate 2.OOO,-
900 people annually. Add to this the
Chautauqua, that has courses In more
than q thousand localities, attended
by over a million people. u doesn't
look as II lecturing were dying out.
For instance, ON the list Of one OF
the leading lyceum bureaus we find
Judge Marcus A. Kavenagh lecturing
on the reform of legal procedure, DR..
Harvey W. Wiley on pure food. Ed
ward Amherst OFT on hereditary and
advanced marriage legislation, and
Hon. Frank ]. Cannon on Mormon

Major Pond broke into" the lyce-
UNI business In the '70s with Anna
Eliza, nineteenth wife Of Brigham

Duty FIalnest at First Sight.

There is nothing like the first
glance we get at duty, before there
has been any special pleading Of our
affections or incllnations. Duty is
never uncertain at first. 1t is only
after we have got involved in the
mazes and sophistries Of wishing that
things are otherwise than they are,
that 1t seems indistinct. Considering
a duty is often explaining it away.
