SAVED THE BIRDS.

We read somewhere in the good book
that even the fall of sparrow is noted
by the Most High. and there are IN
functions almost without number re-
gardinr the mercifulnoss OF man TO the
lower orders of creation. Surely one
of the iniunctions has been carried Out
to the very letter by the Fish and
Game Association Of Worcester, Mass.
A report was made that owing 10 the
severity Of the winter and the suhse
duept lack OF food the birds IN that
section Of the country were dying of
bv thousands. Some member of tho as
sociation had happy thought. Hall
9 ton of grain was purchased and ap'
plication made 10 The postoffice depart
mont for permission for the rural mai
carriers to scatter IL along their various
routes. Permission was granted, the
grain scattered and the birds saved

PAROLE SYSTEM.

The Wisconsin parole law has been
in operation six years, and the claim is
made that the merciful system OF treat
ing prisoners is best and that society
benefits by it's operation. The tendency
during the last two or three decades
has been to temper justice with mercy,
so it is time to figure out the results
attained.
The board OF control in the Badger
State has compiled report which
shows that less than 10 per cent of the
favored prisoners violate their parole,
the remaining 90 per cent making
good in every way. According to the
figures submitted up to February %,
this year, 93s applications for parole
have been considered at the state
prison at Waupun OF this number
$50 were granted, 445 were denied
eight were continued and FIVE with
drawn
According to tho report the per
centage Of violations among life-tcrm
prisoners is less than among the
prisoners who have been shut up for
shorter terms. The showing made at
the Wisconsin state penitentiary is per
haps as good as any that will be made
in the near future, for percentage of
90 for good conduct among convicts is
remarkably high, all things being taken
into consideration.
1t is probable that the percentage of
parole violations at Sing Sing would be
at least double those at Waupun, owing
to the class of criminals confined in the
former prison, but that would not prove
the system wrong. On the whole, per.
haps, the Wisconsin board is right when
it claims success for the parole plan
after an experience of six years.

no return whatever provided the plant
reverted 10 il at the end OF fifty or
sixty years, cor so much of the plant
as was based on tho land itself aud the
improvements directly attached thereto
such as reservoirs, dams, water rights,
and rights of way The tangible prop
orty OF the plant, such as the distribut-
ing system and machinery, the govern
ment would take back at an appraised
value. 1t would also have the right TO
buy the complete plant at an appraised
value at the end of twenty years. lie
would permit the plants to merge them
selves into through routes and thus
make their services continuous and in
terdependent, but he would not allow
them to agree as to rates or to merge
their capitalization and identity.
Ultimately, therefore, tho government
would be restored TO its ownership. 1t
would become a more powerful propri-
etor in the westcren states than it is at
present. The cast would escape this
melancholy subserviency to the ma
tional government by having turned
its resources over to private interests,
but the west, if Secretary Lanes pro-
posals are carried into effect, will con-
tinue forever to be the tenant and the
vassal of the federal government
