propmeues that all gentlemen are
hounf TO observe in giving to the
press an account of recent coniiden-

Of pcrverting the facts about the con
ference.
Not long ago Mr.. Tumulty was called
upon to defend the President against
attacks made on his Mexican policy by
prominent Catholic leaders. AT that
time he made it plain that he would
not permit his own religious convic-
tons 10 bias his judgment and that he
would support the President even when
such action would bring criticism from
leaders Of his Church.
Mr.. Pratt came TO Washington re

In his letter 10 Secretary Tumulty
Mr.. Pratt alleged that the secre'esiry
could give no better reason for Mr.
Sinnotts selection than that he was
Catholic. and that his delegation was
forced TO he content with that answer
to its pleas in favor Of Mr.. Armitage.
In replving TO this charge. Mr.. Iumulty
said he favored Mr.. Sinnott, among
other things. for the open and manly
fashion" in which he had defended the
President when. a. Governor OF New

MISS DRAPER WEEDS A PRINCE.

Washington, Oct. 25.-(By Union
Associated Press.)-Miss Margaret
Preston Draper, whose father once
represented the United States Gov
eminent as Ambassador to Italy, to-
day became the bride Of Prince Bon
compagnie of Rome, at the Draper
home in X street. A nuptial mass
was celebrated in the home of the
Diapers, who are Protestants. The
bride-elect has become a Roman
Catholic convert. The ceremony was
performed by Cardinal Gibbons, who
has been a lifelong friend Of the Lu-
family Of Rome, Of which
Prince Boncompagnie is a member.
Through his family connections and
the fact that this family has given to
the Church two Popes, the bride was
permitted to have the ceremony per-
formed in her own home. The altar
was erected in the tapestrial ballroom
and the guests numbered about seven-
persons. Breakfast followed
the nuptial mass.

PUNISHMENT NOT REFORMATION.

Edward E. budding, of Huntingdon, W. Va,
himself an ex-convict, claims to have secured en-
ployment for three thousand ex-convicts. He
also claims that of that number less than one
hundred have fallen down" on their jobs.
Mr.. budding has gotten hold OF the right
wire in twentieth century reform.
Strange that otherwise kind-hearted and hu-
name people will persist in furnishing" the GRIM
inal, even after he has paid the uttermost far
thing of his penalty.
Why can't we all see that the logical end of law
is not to punish but to reform the evil-doer?
Pause a moment and consider that word
punish" Doesn't it smack too much of ven-
~geance? And who ever heard of vengeance re-
forming a transgressor? Perhaps when the VEN
geance has so completely broken the poor wretch
that he has lost the power of resentment we may
consider him reformed, but God save us from such
reformation.
As men of enlightenment and mercy, we
should look on the law machinery of the land
merely as the means by which we may reform or
re-make the human character which untoward
circumstances have warped and twisted out of
its original symmetry. The very idea of punish
ment is repugnant to the soul of the merciful
man, and should have no place in our scheme of
life.
We insist that the idea of punishment as ap-
piled to the evil-doer is unworthy Of the enlight-
ened citizenship of this great country.
Reform the ~evil-doer, re-make the warped and
twisted character; restrain, if necessary, the in
curably vicious, but punish-never.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEDDLER.

Most neighborhoods have her. She is the
most noticeable feature Of the landscape. She is
always on the job. It matters not that the job is
self-assumed, she never sleeps on it.
She is frequently the widow of some man
whom the community held in high esteem. In a
moment of fatal weakness annexed her to his
life, and very soon that life became worthless to
him and he was glad to lay it down.
Since worrying him into his grave, her ambi-
ton seems to be to send him plenty Of company
for fear he may become lonesome, deprived as he
is of her presence.
Nothing is begun, carried on or completed
without her meddlesome interferences. She
knows the full family history Of every man, wo-
man and child for miles around, and if an ill-tim-
and destroy a promising career, she furnishes it
with glee.
Having long since parted with any youthful
charms she may have once possessed, the possess
sion of attractiveness in the young people seems
to fill her withered heart with gall. The boys of
the community are all triting and vicious, the
girls weak and silly. Their mothers and fathers
are no better, and really one cannot imagine what
the world is coming to.
No affairs OF community or private life is too
big or too little for her meddlesome tongue to dip
into. She annoys us, but we tolerate her. She
nags us, but we bear it. At times she almost
drives Us crazy, but we endure it.
And there is no remedy, no recourse
Yes, there is one. DR.. Ossler suggested it,
and was frowned out Of court. But, honestly,
wnen contemplating the tyrannical rule of this
neighborhood meddler we sometimes wonder if
the world was not too severe on the doctor.

NEWSPAPER AND PRINT PAPER.

We have seen a good deal about newspapers
and the white paper scarcity which mas Iesutteo
in the increased price OF that commodity, put no
wrere nave we seen anything like a senslole el-
,or5 @ cope with the problem, except a lew spas,
,a,1ic SIZE reductions by several groups III special
cities.
There are reasons, Of course, why the situa-
ton IS serious. A man Of the trade has informed
us that he believes that one-thlrd OF the small
papers will go out Of business as a result OF the
nlgn cost of white paper. Whether he knows any
thing about it or not is an issue, but the state
men1 shows to what an extent the price OF TINS
commodity may affect people generally and news
papers particularly.
One 1ault with the modern newspaper is that
it prints too much junk. You can take up the av-
erage newspaper and find it full or trash about
almost anything, and very often, about news, in
stead OF news. The word newspaper" is apt to
become a misnomer if a change IN the materials
the papers are made are not contaminated.
We cannot believe that the reading public
wants any one hundred pages a day, or even thir-
ty, or even twenty, or even sixteen. 1t isn't the
reading public which asks this, but the advertis-
er. The thing for newspapers to do is to cut out
junk, put in news, reduce the space OF advertise
ments and collect cash in advance for subscrip-
tons.
OF course every publisher is entitled to his
W opinion, especially about the management OF
his own paper, but we offer the suggestions
above, not as a remedy, but as an incentive to
some effort on the part Of papers in this State
for a correct handling of the situation, says a we'll
posted exchange in a recent issue.
