PHYSICAL WORK IN PRISON

Sing Sing has been the testing
ground Of SO many theories of
prison reform that we are inclined
to grow impatient with any sugges-
ton of new experiments on the in
mates. However. this latest-physi-
cal culture for prisollers-is worth
consideration. The mission, con-
ceived by group of women reform
ers, of youths from local branch of
the Y. M. C. A., to institute a pre-
liminary course of training at the
prison, is a long stride in the right
direction; better than the movies and
better than the other privileges for
prisoners, which do not reform but
only afford diversion.
Improve the body and the mind
prospers; if the body is sound then
the brain will take care of itself.
Prisoners sitting inactive in their
cells as rule grow morose and
dyspeptic, and such men are likely
to become vicious, sul;en, and degen-
crate. Consumption generally turks
near such a creature. The basis of
cure is usually right muscle, and if
the chest and lungs are developed
the tendency to consumption is less.
ened; likewise other diseases are
avoided.
The hollow-eyed, sunken-cheeked
exile from prison is in no condition
to stand the bruises and blows Of a
workaday world. His chances Of a
job are mighty slim, and without a
job the road back to ;he old haunts
beckons. Physical preparedness cul.
tivated within the prison walls
would go long way to change all
this. At the same time physical
training might be applied to the
"hard labor" phrase of the prison.

authorities encourage physical cul

BRANDRIs REPORTED OUT

The political machine which is de-
termined to force MIR. Brandeis into
the Supreme Court at any cost put
the screws on the Senate Judiciary
Committee yesterday and got every
member of the Democratic control
of the committee 10 vote out the
nomination favorably. 1t was a
strict party vote Of ten for favor
able report to eight against.
1t has been accepted generally in
Washington that certainly two and
perhaps three of those ten Demo
cratic Senators were very loath to
give their votes in favor of Mr..
Brandeis. They would have pre-
ferred either to keep the appoint
ment locked up in committee or to
send it to the Senate without any
recommendation at all. But either
course would have been evasion.
While it is deLlorsble that mem
bers of the Senate can be compelled

convictions, this paper, for one
thinks it is better, 10th from the
point of view Of the public and from
the point Of view of Mr.. Brandeii
himself, to have The nomination

rather than with negative action

THE HOSPITAL SITE ISSUE

Most Of the intelligent opposition
to the placing of the proposed
municipal hospital or either of the
sites considered is due to the pres
ence of dispensaries. Objection is
made that those who go to these dis
pensaries would be on the street
cars, and might be disease carriers.
If the dispensaries are to have
their widest possible usefulness, and
if the opposition to any site is to be
overcome, provision must be made
to have these dispersaries in the
downtown section, There they could
be reached easily by the people who
will use them. II would be a hard
ship to these folk to have the dis
pensaries at either Of the proposed
hospital sites.
With the dispensary feature re-
moved it is hard to see what objec.
ton can be found to the hospital

A JURY VERDICT OF TEN MEN

What the lawyers think Of 1t we
do not know, but the layman will
applaud the decision of the United
States Supreme Court that the
Minnesota law is constitutional
which permits five-sixths Of jury
to return a verdict after It has been
out twelve hours. and the Virginia
law is valid which authorizes trials
before seven jurors. The public will
view this as an encouraging symp-
tom of trend in the courts toward
simplicity and directness.
It is an anomaly that in most
States one man can "hang" a jury.
We doubt that it safeguards the
rights of the defendant any more
effectively than the Minnesota law.
1t is quite as likely to put him I'M
necessarily to the expense Of a sec
ond trial as it Is to initiate against
him. Certainly the old system has
permitted stiff-necked jurors to cost
the State goodly sums.
AS for the Virginia law, what is
there of mystic virtue in the num-
Der twelve? Why not seven men,
indeed?
1t is far-fetrhel provision, too,
which makes new trial necessary if
one of the twelve jurors fall sick
during the trial-on the lastday, for
example, when perhaps thousands
Of dollars and weeks Of time have
been spent on the case.
We must not forget that the right
Of trial by a jury of peers was a
thing to be fought for and priced in
the days when the bench was under
the thumb of rulers and aristocrats.
1t was a great step forward from
the law which permitted baron to
hang a serf withou; trial on the
mere suspicion of theft. Perhaps it
is we'll we should keep it as insur-
ance against the possibility of a cor
rupt judiciary in the future. But
certainly no one will be harmed by
a few common sense notifications
and it is up to other States to follow
the lead of the two pioneer Common
wealths whose acts have been up
held.

Of the municipal hospital, the most
undesirable portion Of II, has not
hindered building In its vicinity.
The Times has advocated building
the hospital soon, because Of the
great need for II. II has taken no
part in the site controversy. An in
spection of the plans for the insti-
tuition would convince many people
that the hospital will be distinct
improvement to any section where 1t
may be placed. The mistake Of those
who are fighting tho measure Is in
assuming that the new hospital will

aALLrNoHR's SHIPPING PLAN

Senator Gallinger's tonnage tax
Plan, as introduced by him in Con-
gress, to build up an American mer-
chant marine with heavier tonnage
charges against foreign ships than
against our own, vii! surely do the
work II there is any way to get the
United States Government to adopt
the plan and put it into operation.
We say this with full considerai
ton Of all the objections which will
arise over our existing treaties with
maritime powers. But in the first
place every one Of those treaties can
be revised in due course by us. In
the second place, every one OF those
treaties, after the war, is going to
be revised by the European power
which has made It
Senator Gallinger's plan will do
the work because It will put bust
ness into American bottoms. That
Is all any shipping needs-business.
1t will put business into American
bottoms because it will be cheaper
for shippers to go into American
bottoms than into foreign bottoms.
Nothing will ever create a first
class American merchant marine
and nothing will ever maintain such
q merchant marine but business.
Subsidies will not. Government pay
sments Of steamship deficits will not.
Such devices and arrangements can
make some sort Of merchant marine
able to worry along in some sort Of
fashion; but only something that
will fill American ships with paying
cargoes will ever make a great
American merchant marine. And
that thing Senator Gallinger's plan
would do if only the United States
Government would adopt it-some-
thing this present Government
never would adopt-that thing, we
say, Senator Gallinger's plan would
do Just as surely as lead will sink
and cork will float.
