DISCRETION is NOT A PRISON oFFENsE.

Secretary Daniels of the Navy Department has abol-
the navy. This is step in the right direction 1t is in
keeping with the best thought and tendencies of the time
Under the old system if enlisted overstayed his
leave of absence he down deserter he suf
fered punishment though he had good If
he did of his volton when apprehended
he severely dealt with The and monotony
of army and navy life in time of peace has caused
say SO of every 100 enlisted men, to SER
ously think of deserving That they did not do so may
be set down lack of opportunity rather than any
change of mind. Anything which appeals to so many
be down worthy of prison sentence.
Punishment forfeiture of be provided else
Discipline is impossible but the punishment should not
take the form of penentiary sentence Men who de-
sert from the army and navy not whit worse
men morally than men who break ony other kind of a
contract.
Serious thought is being given to prisons; their
purposes; and their accomplishments Long ago the idea
that prison is place Of punishment gave way the
theory that the prison is simply place of detention for
the purpose of reforming the individual protecting
society We admit that purpose has been accomplished
but in few instances Too frequently the convict
forth with his manhood and serespect disspated his
heart turned against society; and his mind learned in
crime This teaches that the penitentiary
should be resorted until all hope of the reclamation
of the individual has fed An indiscreon of youth off
mes leads the penentiary, and finally results in life
of crime when if the discretion had been overlooked the
youth would have his way upright citizen.

Seeley, Who Fitted Gar of Russia

Rupture is not a breach of tear
in the abdominal wall as commonly

pert, who will be at the Windsor 10
tel and will remain in Americas Fri
day only, Aug. 21st. Mr.. Seeley says:
The Spermatic Shield as now furnish
ed and supplied to the United States
Government will not only retain any
case Of rupture perfectly, affording i'm
mediate and complete relief, but
closes the opening in 10 days on the
average case. This instrument re-
ceiyed the only award in England and
Spain, producing results without sur
gerry, harmful injections, medical treat
ment or prescriptions. Mr.. Seeley has
documents from the United States
Government, Washington, D. c., for in
spection. All charity cases without

will be glad to show same without
