Secretary Fall has many ideas
for the betterment Of the service
in the Interior Department. and he
is pegging away with these ideas
in mind. making improvements as
he gets to them. He has plans for
reorganization and better co-ordt-
nation of the work of the bureaus.
He is convinced that the Interior
Department must play its part In
the development of the great nat
ural resources of the country and
that these natural resources must
be developed If the tax burden, due
to war expenditures. is to be borne
successfully by this and future
generations.
AS a matter of historical inter-
est, when the Department of the
Interior was first projected back
in 1S49 an investigation showed
that the United States, young
country then. had expended since
its birth about $700,000.000 for mil
itary purposes, and the average
and Navy departments was $13.-
100000. The same investigation
showed that in the same period the
government had expended only
about $1,0O0,000 for the develop
ment of the arts of peace, includ-
ing agriculture, mechanical arts
and education. And now today the
government has recently been
through a period Of tremendous
expenditures for war purposes and
IL still expending billions Of dol
lars for Army and Navy, war penn
sions and other matters connected
with war. It is necessary for the
government to curtail expenses at
every turn In order to relieve the
people as far as possible of the
tax burden. It is pointed out by
Secretary Fall that by proper de-
velopment Of natural resources the
situation can be much ameliorated.

It is the opinion of Secretary Fall
that the government has some-
times interferred too much with
persons desiring to develop the
natural resources Of the country,
and that some Of the restrictive
legislation has had a bad effect
He is especially interested in the
development Of Alaska and its
huge resources. So far practically

AN IRON HAND MAKES coNvlcTS
RIGHT TREATMENT MAKES
MEN

The following comes from Joliet,
ILL.,, where the state prison has been
operated on all lines which made
those confined within its walls more
hardened when coming out than when
going in:
An iron hand and mere confine-
ment make convicts and no more; a
progressive scale of privileges and
freedom within a prison makes men, =
according to John l.. Whitman, super
intendent of Illinois prison, under
whose supervision the new state
penitentiary at Statesville, is being
constructed. The architecture of the
building is designed to facilitate ap-
plication of the illinois idea,9 for
progressive merit system. Prisoners
will be grouped according to their
grade of advancement under the sys-
tenn, and each group will be assigned
to one of the eight cellhouses, the
second of which will be completed
and in use within few days. Prison
ers will move from dollhouse to cell
house with their advancement in
grade
The plan provides that prisoners
may pass through the following
stages: confinement under strict pri-
son discipline; increasing opportunity
to merit more confidence on the part
or prison authorities; positions of
trust within prison walls; life in cot
tages outside the prison but under the
supervision of prison authorities;
parole; freedom.
The system is an outgrowth of psy-

(By Agnew Welsh)


Many Floridians are aware that the
second Seminole war was precipitated
by the slaughter of Major Francis L.
Dade and all but two men of his COM
mand at point days journey by OK
team from Ocala. the site of Fort
King. This military achievement on
the part OF the Indians was the first
instance wherein a command of Unit
ed States soldiers had met with such
humiliation. II was repeated in much
the same manner and by red foe
when General Custer and his command
was surrounded and slaughtered in
the valley OF the Little Big Horn.
The men involved in. this Florida
military movement were members of
the Second and Third regiments Of ar
tillery, and the members of those or
ganizations who were not assigned to
that military movement erected, in
1s45, on the grounds of the U. S. Mill
tary Acadamy. at West Point, monu
ment TO their comrades who fell in
this ambush. This monument was
later placed in a more favorable situ
ation-in front OF Memorial Hall OF
that institution. Within it was placed
a synopsis OF this event. copy OF
this document reads as follows:
"This monument is erected by the
officers and men of the Second and
Third regiments of artillery and the
Fourth regiment of infantry, and by
the medical staff. in memory OF their
comrades who fell in battle with the
Seminole Indians of Florida on De-
cember 2S, 1885. The detachment left

King, Fla, distant one hundred miles,
on the 23rd of December. The force

that they would allow no armed force
to pass through their country with
out attempting to destroy it. Fully
aware of the danger of the march and
expecting a severe conflict, though
with a hope that portion of the COM
mand would get through. this little
hand departed in obedience to orders
by those who knew not so well the
strength and disposition of the enemy.
The writer of this accompanied the de-
tachment to their first encampment
and received directions from two of
the officers to settle up their affairs
in case they did not survive. Thus
forewarned and on their guard they
advanced into the country.

people such as those engaged in
