as you might say, we be filled with

PRISONS IN THE u. S.

Reason For Suggestion--Would
Inaugurate Detention
system

Washington, November 29.-Abolition
of all but two of the naval prisons In
continental United States, those at
Portsmouth, N. H., and Mare Island.
Cal, and maintenance of disciplinary
quarters aboard ship were recommend.
ed in the annual report of Capt Ridley
Mclean, Judge advocate general of the
navy, made public today
During the past year prisons have
been maintained at Mare Island and
Portsmouth. Boston, Norfolk, Cavite
and on shipboard.
In recommending the transfer OF
disciplinary barracks from shore to
ship, Captain Mclean proposed to close
the Port Royal. S. c., detention bar
racks, and transfer the detentioners
from that station to the gunboat To-
pclSa, which would be moored at tho
Portsmouth yard The cruiser Phila-
dclphia would serve similar purpose at
the Mare Island yard.
The reduction of the number of ma :
val prisons is made possible, Captain
Mclean thinks, by an order already
approved by Secretary Daniels to sub
stitute loss of pay or discharge for
many cases Wnlcn previously nave IN
volved Imprisonment. The detention
ships would deal with minor offenders
OF prisoners whose good conduct war
ISrted their transfer from shore
prison.
OF results obtained by the detention
system, Captain Mclean said;
"As humanitarian system II is ex-
ccllent in that 1t requires recalcitran.
to work for his rehabilitation and on
discharge he is better and more use
fu1 man than when he entered the ser
vice and by virtue of having accom-
plished his. own redemption he is :,
stronger and more capable, self-reliant

installed and put in operation by a
few of the local business men.
The most of the business places and

men are working at this. Everyone
has been enjoying the we'll lighted
streets with delight while doing their
Christmas shopping. :.
Wildrose is the youngest town in

Peterson is President; F. G. Fortier,

long experience has helped to make
it an absolute success.

great Importance, not only throwing
light on the inception and growth of
the political ideas back of the eman.

that have a remarkable interest as
bearing upon Lincoln's personal char

HeQrstQnd Mexico

A"SH%FT%@ %fE-@HF@@A4G "OIlU x1CAkIO r2@E~@#FF e.
The Hearst papers continue to clamor for inter
vention in Mexico.
The Hearst interests have large holdings in Mex.
leo, but perhaps this is merely a coincidence,
To what lengths the Hearst influences will 20 to
gain their ends, however unworthy, has Just been
strikingly illustrated.
Recently the New York American printed a pic
ture of some children of dark complexion standing
in water with their hands held above their heads.
With this photograph appeared the following ex-
PLANTATION:
AS proof of an almost unbelievable state
OF barbarity he found to exist in Mexico,
Russell Hastings Milward, an English trav.
eler, fellow of the Royal Geographical society
OF London, sends the photograph here shown
to the New York American. Parents of these
children, Mr.. Milward states, had been killed
by Federal soldiers. The children were
driven into the water, forced to hold their
hands above their heads, and shot in the
back. Note the terror in the face of the one
child who partly faces the shore. 81.
So much for the Hearst paper and its campaign
to water Mexican soil with American blood.
Now listen to Mr.. Milward:
The picture shown in the American, he says. was
taken in British Honduras, not in Mexico. It's rep.
resents a number Of Carib children bathing, and the
children were posed with their hands held above
their heads in order to show to better advantage
their fine physical development.
Mr.. Milward did not send the photograph to the
American, but loaned it at the urgent request Of a
representative of the American. Moreover, Mr.. Mil
ward carefully explained the circumstances under
which the picture was taken, and the place, and
offered to write out a suitable caption to accompany
it. This the representative of the Hearst newspaper
refused, saying that he had a good memory and
could be trusted to look out for that.
Judging from Mr.. Milward's disinterested state
nent, the possibility of error, though always present,
is negligible. Nor will those familiar with the
Hearst newspaper methods take much stock in any
theory of error.
Perhaps Hearst knew nothing of it. Perhaps the
editor who was responsible for the appearance of the
picture and of the caption was misled by a reporter.
Such things have happened.
But the incident should go far to discredit the
attempts of the Hearst newspapers to bully the ma.
ton into armed interference in Mexican difficulties
and to defame the administration for it's failure to
heed the evil council of those newspapers.-Duluth
Herald.

Protest of MI. Morse

Charles W. Morse, former ice king of New York,
does not seem to appreciate his luck. But a few
days ago former President Taft deplored the unreli-
ability of expert testimony as to the physical condi-
ton and vital probabilities of patients using the case
of MIR. Morse for illustration. Mr.. Morse, who was
serving a sentence OF fifteen years in the United
States penitentiary at Atlanta, Ca, on conviction of
violations OF the banking laws, was represented as
dying. The army surgeons found that death was
certain within six months, whether Mr.. Morse re.
manned in prison or was released. 1t was on such a
finding that executive clemency was extended, after
every legal recourse had been exhausted by ingenious
counsel. Soon after Mr.. Morse's pardon he went to
Europe and within a few months he was almost
miraculously cured. There was a note of regret, with
a color Of suspicion, in MIR. Tafts recent comment.
But Mr.. Morse now wants vindication. He does
not intend to seek it in the manner that proved so
attractive to William Sulzer. He has not announced
his candidacy for any office of trust, honor or profit.
So far as known he has entered into no contract
with a chautauqua bureau. But he has been in Wash.
ington, comforting with senators, with the end in view
Of asking a congressional investigation of his case.
1t is not his purpose to have his marvellous restora-
ton to health investigated. This is the chief mystery
to the public and the new bureau Of health might
find that sort of inquiry of great value. He desires
Congress to probe the conditions that resulted in his
arrest, trial and conviction. There is an intimation
that he has in contemplation a suit against certain
bankers in New York. But this must be an injudi-
cious bit of side comment unrelated. to the investi-
CATION itself, for the former banker would surely not
admit that he asks Congressional aid for a private
lawsuit.
Mr.. Morse does not deny that he violated the law.
This matter was determined at his trial. His plea
is that other bankers were guilty of the offense.
They probably were and it is regretable that they
were not prosecuted before their ofenses were out
lawed. The banking rules are the result of centuries
of experience. They are for the protection of stock
holders and deposltors. The observance of some of
them is necessary for the examiners to determine
the condition of a bank. When an executive officer
Of a bank concludes that he is above the law, and
that he may safely make false entries, to deceive
examiners, it is time to discipline him. Whether
anybody suffers great loss from the violations of the
banking law is immaterial. Their observance should
be so insisted upon that every bank official will feel
that he must go to prison if he violates them, Mr..
Morse's attitude shows a strange %obliquity.
The unclad infant who represents the New Year
enjoyed greater climatic ADVANTAGES than usual
