then was caused by tbs barbarities that was

offender was not responsible for the increase
of crime then, why should it be held re-

system did not deter people from commit

the new system be charged with inducing
people to COMMIT crime?

team with no punch ia reserve for their trips.
Boston is going steadily, not withstanding
the games lost at Chicago and the team $
percentage is just about what it was q year
ago, perhaps trifle better. If Bill James
can only get that old soup bone to working
as of yore, the Braves will WIN out with
ease. Without James in harness the out
look is not so rosy. Pittsburg, tools another
team which is moving along smoothly and
may be rated as formidable. One distinc-
ton they may claim is that of having twice
conquered the Pills in doubleheaders or
head -on collisions. as Honus Wagner calls
them. This feat was neatly accomplished
on Saturday last and once prior to that on
the Phils own grounds.
In the American league the first three
teams are still quite closely punched. but
Detroit has forced the White Sox out of
second place. owing to the slump of the latter
at Washington where the Grifmen gave
them a proper trimming. Boston somewhat
disappointed the home fans in the games
against Chicago and Detroit as they failed
to display their usual amount of life and
pep. They still retain the lead however
and will increase it at the expense of Cleve-
land and St. Louis. Detroit is making a
good up hill fight OF it in spite of poor
pitching. Cobb, and Crawford, are keeping
the team where it il, and show no signs of
a let down. Manager Jennings is certainly
getting the most out of his team and is
working all the time to get his pitchers in
better shape. The White Sox are not find
ing things easy in the east and to get an
even break for the trip will have to win all
the remaining games with the Athletics.
At that this is pretty late in the season to
find White Sox team in such rari6ed at
mosphere and they are displaying more
stick-to-it-iveness than on former occasions.
However they will have to display lots of
stuff from now on if they intend to pass
Boston and Detroit.
1t doesn't seem possible but the Sanity
City aggregation have lost the last three
games to indianapolis, while the juvenile
Millers were capturing the same number
from Cleveland. This will bring these two
teams quite bit closer in the percentage
table. although there is still quite margin,
the Twin Citys are just about sure of this
years gonfalon although which one will get
it is not entirely settled. St. Paul can still
be reached and the 1ext series between the
Twins should be just about the best ever
and jam the parks to capacity. With the
teams returning home this week we cannot
see where indianapolis or any of them have
a chance TO take the lead away.

CRIME

The degree of success or failure of any
movement must be based on the results OBJ
tanned from those who are effected by that
movement.
The assertion has been made often of late
that the main cause of increase in crime
drought this country was that imprison-
ment had lost most of its terrors under the
new theory of prison management. The
idea that more crimes are being committed
because the offenders are being treated more
humanely and kindly is the rankest kind OF
bosh
Ten or fifteen years ago there was very
little heard of Honor System, base ball,
moving pictures, lectures, music and other
amusements to help while away the dreary
hours of confinement Instead there is
quite bit heard of prisoners being beaten
to death, or hanged up by the thumbs cat
o-nine tails water cure dungeons and other
atrocities as being practiced by some of the
very prisons that are now leaders in the
carrying out of the new system of penology.
During the practice of those barbarities
there was steady increase in the. number
of crimes being committed and the number

The mad scramble in the National League
race was scrambled more than ever as result
of last weeks games. Sunday morning
found no less than five teams so closely
punched that three games would cover the
difference between first and fifth place. In
order, the teams were Philadelphia, Chicago,
Brooklyn. Pittsburg, and Boston. Reversal
of form on the part of four of these clubs
were responsible for the congo stion. Phil
adelphia, with nice lead at the beginning of
the week, lost two straight games to Chicago
and four out of five to Pittsburg. During
the trip they have won five and lost nine
games. most of the latter by small and Close
score of one and two runs. In addition their
star, Alexander, has been beaten his last
of runs per game led to his defeat. When
the Phils can't win behind Alex, well, good
night! The sluggers have quit smuggling
when hits count. But the men from the
Quaker CITY cannot yet be counted out of
the race. The Cubs, upon returning home,
took on a new lease of life and are in second
place, close behind the Phils when this was
written. Manager Bresnahan did some tall
raving at his players which may or may not
explain their sudden activities. At any rate
they have taken the last five games in nice
fashion, two from the Phils and three from
the Braves. But the Cubs don't impress
one as the team that will be out in front at
the finish. In fact the teams in the National
league this year, all of them, somehow fail
to show real class. None of them have
shown anything above average, except in
the cases of one or two stars like Mamaux of
Pittsburg, and, of course, Alexander,
Brooklyn, following their marvellous record
at home, has fallen down miserably in the
last two weeks. They are strictly home

A LAST STAND
By Blondy

Here in my prison cell for the last two
months have had ample time to think
over the things In my past that have ended
in my present plight. The causes taken to-
gether are varied; but the one most glar-
ing of faults was drink; and followed back
it can be traced to point where most OF
the causes originated and found to be the
pivot on which they all turned. l am not
alone among the boys in this institution
who have the same failing, and ] am sure
that they can find more or less truth in the
following lines.
The ordinary saloon has been called the
poor mans club, and | am sorry to say it is
in way; yes,i it is more than mere club for
some; indeed, it is his home; his one thot
is to be standing in front of a bar, buying
and drinking something he doesn't care af-
ter he has drunk so much, but he will cut
the glasses down so as to be able to pay
for more He is with his friends and likes
to talk on any subject, and also, wants to
be called ''good fellow and he is. But
why must his ood-fellowship be in the
saloon and drinking! The same man with
out liquor and the saloon would indeed be
the prince of good fellows if himself and
his friends would congregate in the home.
You perhaps say thar the saloon, being a
public place, licensed by the State and
City, he feels more comfortable there than

Government Cuts Cost OF
Radium Production,

Secretary Lane announced that
the production of radium from
Colorado carnosite ores by the bur-
eau Of mines of the department of
the interior, in connection with the
National Radium institute, has pass
ed the experimental stage in it's new
process and is on a successful manu-
featuring basis. He also declared
that the statements made to con-
gress concerning the ability of the
burenu of mines to produce Radium
at greatly reduced costs over other
processes had actually been verified
and the cost was less than predicted.
Secretary Lane SAID;
The cost of one gram of radium
metal produced in the form of a
bromide during March, April, and
May of the present year was SAG, $50
I am Informed by Charles L. Parsons

tons of the bureau. This includes
the cost of the ore. insurance, re-
pairs, amortization allo vance for
plant and equipment, cost of bureau
of mines salaries and all expenses
incident to the production of high
grade radium bromide. When you
consider that radium has been sell
ing for $4,000 and $1,000
gram, you will see wha. the bureau
of mines has accomplished along
these lines.

MOTHER

When the spring has spent her beauty
And the summer time is here
Then plan the sweet home going
AS plan it ev'ry year.
Rest and quiet there await me,
Freedom from all work and care,
But with sadness / remember
That my mother won't be there.
All around the house old fashioned
Are the flowers she loved so we'll,
And with fragrance, grace and beauty
Of her tender care they tell.
Near sunny western window
Stands her low-armed rocking chair,
But my heart with sharp pain warns me
That my mother is not there.
Years ago l left her guidance
Left the old home far behind,
But no tender true devotion
Like my mothers did / find.
And her faith in me unquestioned,
Saved me from temptations snare.
turn homeward now in sorrow,
For will not find her there.
All the house is sweetly haunted
By the records of her life
Shown in industry and labor,
Such membranes are rife.
There peaceful, restful feeling,
Rests me from the city's blare,
And I'd hasten there rejoicing,
If my mother were but there.
On little old oak table
Lays her bible worn and old,
On the pages are the precepts
That she proved as good as gold.
And it tells about that city
With its beauty rich and rare.
And I'll have the sweet assurance
That I'll find my mother there.
