dress-NeutralitY Demanded.

Washington.-A demand upon all
Americans, on pain of a~stracism. to be
more neutral in regard to the Euro

voiced by President Wilson In a speech
at the celebration of the twenty-ifth
anniversary of the founding of the
American Revolution, on Oct. II. The
United States, the president said, was
not trying merely to keep out Of trou.
BILE, but was trying to preserve the
foundations en- when peace could be
rebuilt.
Peace can be rebuilt he said,
"only upon the ancient and accepted
principles of international law; only
upon those things which remind ma
tons of their duties to each other, and,
deeper than that, of their duties to
mankind and humanity. America has
a great cause, which is not confined to
the American continent. 1t is the cause
Of humanity itself"
Declaring his faith in the loyalty OF
the great body of naturalized citizens
Of foreign birth, the president said he
believed the impression was too gen.
eral a large number of these citizens
were without a sufficient affection for
the American ideal. But ! am in a
efarfy 10 have a line-np,">he explained,
land let the men who are thinking first
OF other countries stand on one side
and those who are for America, first,
last and all the time, stand on the other
side"

Prison Reform Grows

Under the heading, Reform at Sing Sing" we print this week an article taken from Claw Notes," which deals with the advancement now being made in this most med ieval of American bastiles. This naturally reminds us of the advanc- ed stand taken by our own govern or. Some have termed MT. Hunts attitude, "Humanitarianism run wild'. They would certainly be able to find equal cause for apply ing the same expression to the atti. tude of MT. Osborne, and yet MT. Osborne has been made warden of Sing Sing. New York has certain ly tried the old medieval idea of compensatory punishment, long enough to give it a thorough test. It has proved such miserable fail- ure that now she is to try reforma- tion as the object of her prison.'
 It is a matter of no small satis- faction to the supporters of our executives policy, to have old New York follow in the foot steps of our young state. Itshows that we have been leading in the way of advanced civilization. Once state has taken this advanced step there is little iklihood of its ever going back to the old order, and of this progress i've attitude on the conduct of pris- ons which is rapidly spreading the country, we may soon expect re- suits that will be beneficial to the country in general. We may ex- pect on the growth of crime, which has continued in spite of all the severity of the old attitude.

States Attorney Making Good

Wiley B. Jones, together with his assistant, Geo. w. Harben, are certainly making good. They have made a most excellent de- fense in the case of each of the amendments which have been tested before the Federal court, and they have already won a number of cases for the state in state courts. The eighty per cent. law was lost because of a violation of the Federal Constitu- tion which rendered it impossible of defense. Wiley Jones cer- tainly put up the strongest de- fense possible. The most prom inent among local cases recently won is the whiskey case in Tue son which has just been decided in favor of the state. The state needs the best legal talent this year with so many new laws, and it certainly has it in the present attorney general who is receiving able assistance from Geo. Harben.

Reform at Sing Sing"

FROM LAW NoTEs:-
 Prison reform in the State of New York has received a considerable impetus by the appointment of Thomas Mott Osborne to the post of Warden of Sing Sing Prison.
 MT. Osborne is a member of the New York State Commission on Prison Reform, and some months ago, as will be remembered, spent week in Auburn prison in volun- tary servitude for the purpose of getting first-hand knowledge of prison conditions. As warden of Sing Sing he will now have an op- portunity to put into effect what ever plans for prison improv ement he may have cogitated during his self-imposed incarceration. Some reforms that he will institute are already fore-shadowed in a-publish- ed interview had with him at the close of his first day as warden.
 Here are few of the things he said:
 ''The cells in the six-tier block must go. They are not fit habita- tions for pigs. They are damp and productive of disease, especially of tuberculosis"
 "The coffee is the vilest stuff I ever tasted. I tried to drink some, but had to take COCOA"
 "There is not work enough to go around. I think the best way will be to put the men on two-hour shifts, and allow them opportunity for athletic exercise in addition"
 "I am going to allow the prison CTS to talk. I think the policy of silence is diabolical. It is as bad as the dark cell treatment, which has been abolished at the demand O. an outraged civilization"
 "Before I leave the prison I hope

Paper Coconno County and of the Town Williams

to see capital punishment abolish ed."
 From these observations it -is plain to be seen that MT. Osborne intends to mark out new lines for himself in the conduct of the fam ous, or shall we say infamous, bas- tile on the Hudson. In SO doing he will undoubtedly encounter considerable opposition, especially from that portion of the community which is still obsessed by the med i@val idea that compensatory pun ishment and not reformation is tte main purpose of prisons and peni- tentiaries. It is to be hoped, never theless, that MT. Osborne will be given a free hand at Sing Sing in carrying out his reformatory meas- ures. He may err on the side of a too lax humanitarianism, but the State may well take the chance of this in view of the lamentable fail ure of the oppressive and punitive prison policies of past years.

PAUL SALzMAN DEAD

The sad word of the death of little Panl Salzman, son of MT. and Mrs. Jocob Salzman who used to reside here, was received this week. Little Paul was operated on 2 year ago for Hotchkiss disease, the origin of which is unknown and for which the medical profession seems not yet to have found cure. Dropsy set in afterward, and the doctors were forced to resort to tap ping a number of times. The fun- eral took place last Friday, Jan. 8. Interment was made in Jew ish cemetery at Los Angeles.

One Concrete Argument Against
 Capital Punishment

In the daily press, last Saturday, was told the sad story of an inno- cent man being convicted on a charge of murder and being sen fenced to death by hanging. Later the sentence was changed to life imprisonment. After seven years imprisonment the prisoner was re- leased upon the discovery of his innocence.
 Would it not be better for society to substitute life imprisonment for death in all cases, rather than murder one innocent man?
