BosroN, Nov. 30.-Predictlon that a
reorganization of the penal institutions
Of tn State which would place the ad-
minlstrations of county jaiis under a
central State department Instead of
County Commissioners as at present,
was made by Representative S. Loring
Young at the annual conference OF Pro-
baton Officers at the State House to-
day. Representative Young, who Is r
candidate for Speaker Of the House,
argued that to maintain an equal stand

throughout the State they should be un-

He pointed out that the Republican
party In It's platform this fall gave lab
solute promise that the jails and houses

counties, should be consolidated and
hereafter managed by the State"

that the latter are merely uncaught."

Martyrs to the X-Ray.

The death Of DR.. CHARLES INFRoIT.
a well known French surgeon and one
of the most distinguished x-ray spe-
cialists, was reported yesterday from
Paris. He died, like many men be-
fore him who devoted their lives to
The study Of the mysterious rays dis
covered by DIR. RoNTGEN, a victim of
his own jealous efforts to reveal the
secrets Of this strange agency and to
convert Il into a safe and disable
power for mankind.
Ever since their discovery the full
scientific value and power of the
R0ntgen rays have puzzled scientists.
TO the man who made them the sub
sect of special study they we're pecu-
iiarly fascinating. His researches as
often proved that much which had
been accepted regarding their power
was not borne out by careful and
thorough experiments as they re-
vealed the wonderful possibilities Of
new and unthought OF uses for the
marvellous rays.
These researchers all recognized
chat they were pioneers in the study
Of a powerful agency. That they were
constantly baffled Just as they thought
they were on the point of making
some great discovery seemed only to
add 7est 10 the continuance OF their
investigations. There was none Of
these men but recognized that IN

TURNING SUNDAY Blue.
The Rev. Mr.. Bowiby's Aspirations
and His Plan of Operations.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The Rev
Harry L. Bowlby has some interesting
ideas as to the methods OF pushing the
as saying:
We shall work in every Congress dis
trict In every State. We shall agitate
and spread propaganda and cause vot-
ers 10 write increasingly TO their Repre-
sentatives in Congress until no Con-
gresham who cares TO stay In Congress
win dare refuse to vote for our meas
ures. These were the methods used by
the Anti-saloon League and they were
effective.
Representative government is a fall
ure under such plan. The merits oil
the laws passed by Congress are not the
issue. but questions are to be decided
solely on the ground whether "a Con-
gresham cares to stay In Congress" a
political bride for votes. a truly noble
conception of a Congressman's duties.
1t is the adoption of the same slogan as
the Anti-Saloon League, Results are the
acid test of any policy"
After having given a list of things
to be prohibited by national law on
Sundays, he adds that the result would
be that people naturally will drift back
to church." What commentary on the
churches IL It is true that after 1000
Years they are to be filled by drifting,
as place of last resort!
Generously, however, this bluest of
blas gentlemen kindly permits the peo-
pie to do on Sunday the following: I'VE
should have no objection to the people
taking decent recreation. such as walks
IN the country or reading good books
or healthy conversation" Where will
the city people walk? How many miles
and how many an hour? VIII the Con-
gress pass a law giving a list of good
books which will be allowed? What is
healthy conversation? Will the CONVEX
sationalIsts have to use a photograph
to report on Monday to the nearest po-
lice station for approval of the enforce
ment officials? j. " HALsrEAp.

The Advocates of Radical Sunday
Closing.

To THE New YORK HERALD: The more
haste. the Jess speed. Before passing
further reform laws should we not wait
to see the actual benefits resulting from
the Eighteenth Amendment? Indeed, we
may yet come around to thinking the
Eighteenth Amendment tackled the liq-
uor question at the wrong end. that 1t
should have aimed to eliminate the de-
mand for liquor. Demand governs sup
ply: supply does not govern demand
The Rev. Mr.. Bowlby. secretary of the
Lords Day Alliance, in advocating rad
ical Sunday closing as a means of in
creasing church attendance says that
sixteen Christian denominations are
Joined in this movement, another is on
the fence and only Roman Catholics,
Unitarians, Seventh Day Adventists and
Jews are outside of the movement. But
how about the attitude of some consid-
cradle number OF people not strongly
affiliated with any denomination?
AS to thesixteen denominations favor
ing the movement. have they consulted
the individual sentiments of such o. the'r
members as are engaged in any of the
many trades and vacations which would
suffer, directly or indirectly, through
Sunday closing? Have they consulted
the working men and women attending
their churches?
1t is interesting to note the boast that
the movement is well financed and will
have an effective and experienced lobby
in Washington, and further to note the
explicit threat to Representatives in Con-
gress who may not favor the movement.
However. Congress is body of men
who are not to be influenced by threats
In fact. threatening is generally very
stupid action.

Nat'on-I Tax Revision at Once.

President WILSON is right In his
Judgment that Congress should not
wait for March to begin the needed
revision Of the revenue law, but
should pitch in next week. The days
will be few between early December
and March, when Mr.. HARDING viii.
call the special session of the new
Congress to give full legislative effect
to the whole Republican programme.
But there Is always time enough to
do something in the way of good work
when sound minds and skilled hands
are on the job, and President WILSON
deserves credit for his stand of ''do
1t now"
The Republican leaders who will
have charge Of framing the temporary
and permanent revenue measures are
intimately familiar with all the de-
tails of the law now in operation and
ell the financial problems of the Gov.
eminent. They know the funds the
Treasury must have. They know the
relief the industry and business of
the country need. They know the
faults and dangers of the existing
law. While it would take them many
months to work out the best that can
be done In the way of revenue leg
,slation. whatever they can do-and
they can do a great deal-between
now and the time the next tax state
ments must be made out will be a
godsend to the American public.
Tariff legislation in particular, by
the very nature of things, is going to
require so thorough an examination
of the country's economic condition
md so deep study and so careful a
framing of the schedules which will be
required to leave American Industry
safe and yet not kill imports and
thereby dry up customs revenues. that
we should be lucky to have a mea sure
anywhere as good as DINGLEY or AL
pRIcH could make inside Of a full
year. This is the very reason Con-
gress should give us what else II can
within three months.
The Treasury can't wait on distant
tariff revenues to pay bills that are
knocking at the door. American bust
ness can't wait TO be relieved of re-
strictions and burdens that are throt-
Ting production and distribution.
American wage earners can't walt
when their bread and butter depends
upon work which itself depends upon
the productive machinery of the ma
tion running full speed.
Let the country get all the help
that can be given IL now. Then give
Il the rest as fully and as soon as
possible.

of 1899 had committed themselves the

of 1899 had committed themselves the
other way.
This singular fact deserves empha-
Sis whenever the question of future
methods of fighting and future mill.
tary and naval armament is in focus.
Whatever the United States has done
or may decide to do in the perfection
and employment OF those deadly and
effective appliances for shortening the
period of war agony, It has been and
will be immune to such reproach
as Germany, for example, incurred
when her General staff. tore up the
declaration OF 1899 and turned her
remarkable laboratories to the pro-
duction, to the limit of scientific pre-
cisicn, Of the paralyzing and death
dealing missiles of chemical war.
This freedom Of action the country
has owed to MAHAN's attitude at The
Hague. His long range vision has
been certified as exact by the deci-
slons Just now OF the Advisory Com
mission of the League Of Nations at
Geneva that 1t Is useless to seek to re-
strict the employment OF gases In war
time by prohibiting manufacture in
peace time. While tpis does not
amount to a straight Endorsement Of
that which the Hague declarations
positively prohibited In the case Of
the nations catalogued above, 1t is a
long step toward their enfranchise-
ment from the restrictions they de.
liberately undertook to respect. But
as to the United States, as we have
shown, the new Geneva decision has
no bearing whatever.
With what keen professional inter-
est would Admiral MAHAr have read
last Sundays article, printed twenty
one years after his defence of the mill
tary morality of chemical warfare,
qualified by the statement that mo
shell emitting such gases Is as yet In
practical use or has undergone ade-
fuate experiment"
