End of Hating.

My heart is full of joy and
mirth, l do not hate a soul on
earth. Before the ar1nistice was
signed, hate of the Teuton filled
my mind; l hated everything
that bore the German trade
mark, more and more. Alas, the
hate I used to feel, before and
after every NEAL! And when to
bed l 'journeyed late, I'd lie
awake and hate and hate! l
thought that l should never live
to see the time when I'd forgive
the cruel Hun of evil works, the
Bulgars and the beastly Turks.
l don't forgive them even yet; l
won't make any Teut my pet,
or carry lilies, pure and pale, to
any Hun who is in jail. My aunt
shall not become the bride of
any Turk with sallow hide. I'm
willing that the Turk and Hun
may have forgiveness-when it's
won; but years must pass-in SOL
emn train before they can our
trust regain. Now l don't hate
them any more; I've found that
hatred is a bore. The tyrant's
taken in his sign; he goes his
way and l go mine; and if l
hated him by day, and hating
passed the night away, l
couldn't add an ounce, trow, to
that huge load he's bearing now.

Osborne Puts Welfare Plan in Navy Prison
Ex-Warden ofSing Sing

Sends Two Men a
Day From Detention

By John J. Leary, Jr.

<xrr%OM BROWN" is at it again!
Those who are familiar with
= the prison history Of the State
of New York for the last few years will
immediately recognize "Tom Brown"
a Thomas Mott Osborne, some time
warden of Sing Sing prison, always a
thorn in the sides of the reactionaries
and prohteers of the prison world and
inst now, by the grace of Josephus
Daniels, Lieutenant Commander Os-
borne, u S. N. R., in charge of the
naval prison at Portsmouth.
He has been in the navy since Au-
gust last, at Portsmouth, and in that
lime, as at Sing Sing, he has turned
the prison upside down, shocked the
oldtimers who stand for "iron dis
ne"-whatever that may mean-and
turned what has been described as a

the navy, and in a very short time a
building such as the organization main
