and gave to Sarajevo a place In his

never dreamed.
Why Bosnian Serbs should have
sought the death Of the Austrian
Crown Prince, the one prince of the
Hapsburg house who apparently
really wished to grant their national
demands, was much discussed ques-
ton. Why now they should attempt
the life of the Serbian Grown Prince,
the head Of the only long established
Serb Government, and prince who
made a good record during the war,
and who has since labored necessarily
for the upbuilding of the new Serb
State, is a question as puzzling. But
the Balkans remain to-day, as In the
past, law unto themselves. So they
are specializing If the would-be as
sassins were not Montenegrins who
thus manifested their opposition to
the Incorporation of their country into
the Serbian kingdom, or Croatians
who gave vent to an ancient racial
animosity; or If the attempt on the
Serbian Crown Princes life was not

Defining Quitting and QuibbIinr

There are cutters AND there are
quibblers. Both are contemplate.
We know cutters are because we have
II so proclaimed by Exalted Author
ity. Quibblers are contemplate In the
estimation of all fair minded men.
But as TO cutters, there Is need OF
interpretative definition. In order to
be a gutter you must have been a
beginner. You must have been 'in
the game" You may have been in It
voluntarily or you may have been
thrust into 1t by Irresistible force Of
circumstances. But you must have
stayed in 1t and seen It through. 9th
erwise you are a gutter.
On the other hand, II you fatty
refuse to go in; II you serve unequiv-
ocal notice beforehand that you will
not 60 in; II On direct appeal for au-
thority to commit you TO whatever the
appellant may choose to "let you in
for"--to use the language Of a now
retired statesman-you meet that mp
peal with an unqualified and peremp-
tory refusal, then to say you are a
gutter and, above all. contemp-
tible gutter Is, in the language Of re-
ceQt exalted utterance, simply IAN alb
solIite and unqualified falsehood."
You may be ignorant. You may be
lmpudent. You may have a pygmy
mind. But you are not n gutter,
contemplate or otherwise, for you
have never been beginner. but, on
the contrary, have served positive
notice that you would not begin.
But a bubble and q quibbler need
no such lnterpretative reservations.
Both stand out clearly and sharply
defined on the record. III you have

ITALY AND THE LEAGUE.

mler Orlando resigned from the Peace

Barter away their rights for promises of
American coal and wheat"
Did the American Congress authorize
and empower any one to go to Europe
and promise American coal and wheat
or other commodities to foreign nations
to induce them to Join the League of
Nations? If 1t had done SO. would the
promises have been binding on the
American people?
Who owns this country? Cox ought to
be skunked. The few Southern States

their attitude and make Harding's cleo

When Jenny Lind Sang Before the

is not generally familiar Is preserved

this time 1t possesses peculiar in

THE popular Captain WEST, an

mine that during a voyage from Eng
land to this country. when he was
bringing over the wonderful Swedish
singer-JENNY LrND--for. believe.

her earnest desire to behold a sun

''As the sun itself Ieaped UP from

mo wonder that Captain WEST,
when describing the scene. should
have exclaimed:
"'No one will ever hear IT Know
That My Redeemer Liveth" sung as
I heard 1t that morning."

prison because deportation warrant

had not left the prison. Franz Bopp.
former German Vlce-Consul in San
Francisco, indicted and convicted with
Setback. left Leavenworth on parole sew

The paroles for the two Germans were
issued, Mr.. Palmer said. after the Swiss
Minister to the United States had agreed
TO stand as FIRST friend to them and be
responsible for their acts.
Bopp, the Attorney added, had
expressed desire to return to Germany,
but Setback wished to stay In America.

PRISONS OF REFORM.
Suggestions for Turning Some of the
Inmates Into Good Citizens.

To THE New YORK HERALD: We have
made great strides in the industrial and
economic field, but in the treatment of
prisons and prison ers we have only COM
rnenced to make Improvement and to
make useful that which was formerly
wasted.
little while ago I saw convicts at
work on tire roads in Florida with ball
and chain and man watching over them
on horseback with a loaded gun. All
these Anticipated methods do not de-
crease crime. and on the contrary are
brutalizing in their effect
What we want to do is to try to cure
prisoners, set them to work, teach them
power, and At them out so that they will
be able to make an honest living and are
likely to be able to take care Of them
selves and their families when they are
released from prison and not likely to
spread disease, either physical or men
tai. to the rest of the community. In
that case there is chance for a good
many Of them to be restored to the nat
ural condition Of self-respectlng citizens.
What in my opinion is most i'm
portant factor In tho whole matter Is that
those in charge Of the prisoners, like the
wardens keepers, probation officers and
others, should be of n high order, should
receive fair remuneration, and should
be taken entirely out of politics. so that
they will show a good example and will
be Just and a good influence. some
thing on the order of the Judges. who on
an average are Of high standard and
generally have the confidence OF the
public.
I am in favor of paying wages to pris-
oners for work which they perform. A
wage for prisoners is not only just but
to my way of thinking Is exceedingly
good business. I do not. however, be-
lieve that wage should be paid unless
1t Is honestly earned. and the money
realized from the earnings of the pris-
cners' work In shop and farm should be
used for the payment of their wages.
believe that part of the wages earned
by the prisoner should be used for his
maintenance and part for his family or
dependents. I believe that the prisoners
dependents should be given a chance and
that the man in prison should be allowed
to earn so as to help them. If the in
mate has no dependents would 1t not
be an insurance against future wrong
doing IL he has laid by sum of money
with which he could make a fresh start
on his release?
Work is a healer Of many scars to
know how to work and feel its impor-
lance is lesson which we must all
learn IL we are to succeed In life.
Among the most important features Of
prison reform is the necessity Of keeping
the prisoners regularly employed in such
kind of work as will be useful to them
when they are released from prison.
or course a sense of Justice must per-
wade the whole matter. The public must
DC made to feel that its interests are not
sacrificed to the interests CT the prisoner.
and the prisoners must be made to I'm
derstand that justice is done to them.
Justice and feeling of brotherhood and
cooperation between all the people will
bring the best results.

Row Long Can a Man Fast?

With due respect to the opinions Of
the learned physicians who refuse to
believe that man can fast sixty days,
we are compelled, for the sake of the
record, to bark back to letter which
this newspaper printed on September
%. 1t was written by Mr.. ARCHIE
RICE, a correspondent whose occa-
sional letters to us have been marked
by conservatism as well as interest.
In the letter to which we refer Mr..
RICE declared that he was personally
familiar with the performance Of a
tailor in Palo Alto, California, VINO in
1914 tasted for sixty-ave days. This
faster scarcely could be accused of de-
ceit, as he was abstaining from food
with the idea of curing a physical all
ment. Mr.. RICE conversed with the
man on the forty-elghth or forty ninth
day of the fast, just after the tailor
had been compelled by weakness to
take to his bed, and could but marvel
at "the clarity and quick comprehen-
sion of his mind"
According to MIR. RIcE's record of
the case, in which he had a Journals
tic interest, the faster took nothing
except water until the sixty-fifth day,
when he drank little orange juice.
On the sixty-sixth day he died. This
case is the most protracted of which
we have heard. The distinguished
French Psychologist, DR.. JOSEPH #.
BERARD, declared that he knew a con-
Wet who went slxty-three days on
nothing but water.
