'AND BiAJmHY. Were there o prisons now in existence it ia incon
ceivable that enlightened society would adopt such an UNNATURAL
AND TJETSCIENTTfTO rvstem for the treatment of defective members.
The prison has BUILT UP A PROFESSIONAL CRIMINAL
CLASS. In ev! j eatmtrj there is a large and increasing class of pro
fessional criminals, practically all of wisom hare served one or more
prison terms. It is estimated that the yearly earnings of these crimi
nals in the United States exceed eight hundred million dollars. Every
prison is necessarily a . SCHOOL POR CRIME, and in the United
States alone approximately eight hundred thousand persons who are
thus imprisoned annually are given a compulsory education in crime.
IF THERE WERE NO JAILS THERE WOULD BE NO
SCHOOLS FOR CRIME.
Although Holding Property in, -Mexico,
Would Not Send Soldiers.
(By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner.)
Washington, Aug. 8. William Kent
is a member of Congress from Cali
fornia. He belongs neither to the
Democratic party, the Republican
party or the Progressive party. He '
votes sometimes with the one party ,
and sometimes with another. He is
an independent, and is officially listed ,
as such. ' j
Mr. Kent is a millionaire and has
larira financial bnlriincra In TVT pvi-n !
Naturally, therefore, he is tailing keen
interest in the solution of th evexa
tious " problem '- of what attitude the
United States is to take . concerning
Mexico. But he does not agree with
some "of his' fellow American million
aires who are anxious to have our
troops invade Mexico, in order that
our soldiers may do duty as police
men in the protection of mines and
other physical property owned by
Americans in Mexico. ',''"'
Mr. Kent has taken the trouble to
write a letter to every member of
Congress. . In part, this letter reads:
"The lives of American soldiers
should not be sacrificed, the people's
treasure should not be wasted, in pro
tecting the property rights" of those
of our citizens who, having gone be
yond our borders, have ' "taken a
chance" on the laws and conditions of
peoples beyond our control.
"As one financially interested in
Mexico, , inasmuch as I would not
jeopardize my own life nor the lives
of my sons to protect m yproperty, I
would be a coward and a murderer ir
I should send any of my countrymen
to death in behalf, of that - property."
People Averse to Lobbying. - ;
The man in charge of :the document
room 'at the Capitol Building in Wash-j
ington declares that demand for- bills'
by non-members of Congress has fal
len off remarkably in the last few
months. He explains his decreased
business in .handing '--out . bills intro
duced in Congress is due to the fact
that nearly all of the lobbyists have
left town, as a result of the fight made
upon them by .President. Wilson. '
In driving the lobbyists out of
Washington, President Wilson has un-
aquuieaiy maae a great nil witn trie
common people. -.- They are natural
ly averse to lobbyists. .This may be
easily understood. v .
If a man living in California had a
lawsuit before a judge in . far-away
New York, and knew that his rival
in the litigation was in the habit of
dining with the court and spending
an hour or two daily In private con
versation with him "in chambers'Vhe
would, if he was an average human
being, be inclined to be a little ner
vous o-er the situation.. . And that is
about the way it is with the consum
ers of the United States. "The were
just ' a little bit nervous over the fact
that special .privilege was paying men
$1,000 a month to persuade their rep
resentatives to vote for the Interests
of the tariff trusts instead of the in
terests of the consumers. '
But thanks to President Wilson, the
lobbyists have been frightened away
from the National Capitol, and it is to
be hoped they will not return.

Trying to Trace Uncle. - ...
A fortune in England is said to de-
volve on the search whjch Edward
Morris, a Danbury hatter, is starting
to make for his uncle, a sea' captain,
who has not been heard from for many
years. Last fall, William H. MorrlB,
the father of Edward Morris, died and
left an interesting history behind him
It was then revealed that Mr. Morris,
who was a gardener at the time of hie
death, had been educated as a scenic
painter early In life and had run away
from the .'home of "Wealthy parents in
England, taking to the sea. ' After
many years of voyaging about the
world, he had finally come to America,
where he had settled down without re
vealing to anyone his past. About' the
time of his death he told his son the
story of his Jlfe and adventures. From
these facts it was disclosed that Mr.
.Morris had a brother, who was a sea
captain, and had run away from home
atoout the same time that he toad.
Nothing had been heard from him in
years. It was supposed that he ' had
full information about the estate of
the family in England, and that it
would be necessary to find him in or
der to esttablieh title to the family es
tate in England. For several months
young Morris has been trying to get
trace of the missing uncle, tout he has
been unable to learn anything of his
whereabouts.
