BoRAH LOGICAL CANDIDATE

Contending that Senator w. F.
Borah is the logical candidate of the
Republican party, the Brooklyn Globe
says:
Neither democrats nor republicans
can afford to ignore the meaning OF
the manifesto of Senator William f.
Borah, demanding the reajustment on
broad scale of our tariff laws, with
view of meeting conditions sure to
develop when the European war ends.
Mr.. Borah, it is true, comes from Ida
no, small state. His personality is
larger than Idaho, however. And if,
as he hopes and expects, the republic
can party is to write next year "the
most advanced and liberal platform it
has adopted since 1860" then not
Elihu Root of New York, nor Senator
Burton of Ohio, nor Senator Weeks of
Massachusetts,, but Senator Borah of
Idaho is the really logical candidate
to run on such a platform. He would
certainly come closer TO bringing back
all the Rooseveltians to the organiga-
ton than even Justice Hughes, who
has been mentioned by Colonel Roose-
welt as acceptable.

PAMPERING PRISONERS.

We fancy Prof. Taft Of Yale i
having the time of his life, being able
to say what he thinks without any
chance of compromising his party
now that he has shelved all political
ambitions, and speaks merely as one
individual TO his fellows, and not as
the leader of a great organization. His
recent remarks concerning the com
mon tendency to treat prisoners as if
they were the guests of swell hotel
have much common sense TO commend
them, but common sense isn't as COM
mon as many imagine, and the eX-
president probably will be kicked in
the Stats by soulful sentimentalists
and sob squad artists.
The world has come some distance
since the old days of rack and thumb
screws and other plain and fancy in
struments of torture in the penal i'm
stitutions. and il is well that ii has,
yet there is a chance that il might
drift too far and make Imprisonment
a glad sweet song, joy forever and
such like. If such course would not
encourage the criminal tendency, it
certainly would not do a great deal
to discourage it.
Imprisonment should mean punish
ment, and the notion Of blaming soci-
ETY. for the visible supply of devilment
is overworked good deal. As a
matter of fact, there are those who
need to be punished as well as re-
strained, and the sentimental systems
of making penitentiary popularity
governed body won't work out very
well, if carried too far. Illinois pris-
on warden inaugurated an honor sys-
tenn which gave the convicts more lib
critics and comforts of home than
they had enjoyed under the old regime
and one morning not long ago the
warden's wife was murdered and an
attempt made to burn her body. That
was an instance of convict gratitude
for fair treatment, of the sort the
prison reformers are ardently urg-
ing on the several administrations.
And there are enough similar exam
Piles to make the authorities slow up
somewhat. Prison should mean pun
ishment, and not merely restraint, or
ii will fall short of IFS intended mr.
pose, which is to correct the fault and
deter others from going and doing
likewise. There has been too much
ush in the management of prisons

TOO MANY LAWS.

Every once in a while public speak.
ers and newspapers hold up legisla-
lures to scorn and often accuse them
Of being dishonest. We believe such
talk is unfair. Legislatures are not
dishonest as a rule. The members
thereof are not crooks. Occasionally
a dishonest man gets there, but crooks
are so scarce in the legislatures that
they are always In the hopeless mi
nority. The trouble is not with the
statesmen. II is with the system
they work under. The machinery is
too clumsy and too slow Of motion.
Sometimes it Is all airbrakes and
then again there isn't brake in work
ing order. They try TO shove the
machine up hill with all brakes
set and then start it down the grade
with all the brakes Off. We get some
good laws and we get some idiotic
measures. But that is not the worst
of it, We get too blamed much Of it.
That is all we do get Law, law, law
We don't need new laws. We need
enforcement Of few we already
have.

WON RICHES FROM THE LAND
Story of an Immigrant Family That
Went Farming Forty-six
Years Ago.

John Austin and his wife, Emma,
46 years ago came to this country
from England with their four sons and
settled on a 160-acre farm in the
Rocky mountains. Austin had been a
mill worker and he and his wife
scarcely had money enough TO come
to this country and take up the 160
acres which the government at that
time was willing to give any settler
Of the subsequent success of this fam
Uy Doctor Winship writes in Farm and
FiresIde as follows
Once established and the market
gardening scheme on it's feet, John di-
vided the 160 acres in halves, kept
80 acres and gave each of the boys
20 acres. They all worked the whole
Of it, but kept the expenses and in
come from each lot distinct.
Il know Mark Austin we'll; he is
one of the eminently prosperous men
in Idaho He furnishes sugar beets
for eight of the large factories along
line of 400 miles of railway, raising
many of the beets and contracting for
the rest. He is a prince among the
business men of Idaho.
"The other three boys, Thomas, Will
liam and John, are cattle kings IN
