EASY TO SKULK IP-. There lias born some .sporadic talk o? enjoining thu Southern und Blue IlidKo from rearing the cation ul of tho way a? ?ONS thc "cut" on North Malu street. Th.- station I? to fill thc entire Kap.and to face out upon thc new bridge which ls under construe- i (loo. This work would permanently block I Ul? ulley leading from North Main and would lut? rf or o with thc hauling to the roar of ntorOH faclug North < Malu si n et mid also un the public square. Among ih?ae affected would be o ?..Anderson, Parker & Holt, thc Anderson Furniture company the People's Kurnltnre company and others. '. lt docs s'ecin Abai as there has long boen foreknowledge of this matter th? persons affected should have enjoin thc railroad company before this time. For it would hje a serious matter to have the work stopped. And yet it is a serious mutter for the merchants. We take the liberty to suggest tliut thc railroad company might make use of tho material from the old Main Btreet bridge and cross the cut with a trattlc l>r,idge just in the rear of The Intelligencer oflicu huildiug.* We believe the property owners pn the north side of th? cut will be gen erous enough to give thc needed room to get to the bridge from Earle street in the rear of Hubbard's jewelry store. In fact Hie city should insist upon something of this kind for fire protection. We have no authority to speak, but we offer this suggestion ami believe the railroad company will be as lib eral as the merchants in making some kind of agreement upon a reasonable baals. lt Kt LAIMS Pit ISON KI'S A few years ago in a certain county jail there was confined a defaulting bank ofilciui. Thi? prtscSir small, kept in a kindly, common sense way. The "trusties" worked on a farra^ They were allowed to run er rands about the town. On a few occasions this man was allowed tn drive a wagon delivering chairs. Some of the metropolitan pa pers featured ?the story, lt strack them ns a primitive method of jail keeping, that a man shut up for a csriouo offense should bc permitted drive a wagon in the open air a use ful service. ..o doubt many people feel that such an offender should sit in his cell reflecting in a repentant manner on his misdeeds.' This mood, .however, 4ra*^*?tf%*i?n?a'1^ What waa called for then was a different kind of experience. People who follow magazine liter ature must be impressed by the amount of space given within the past few months to studies of prison life. One thoughtful man recently in jail says CO per cent of thc criminals could be reclaimed. !t is claimed tho great majority-return to crime.'' Many prisons are classifying prison ers and those giving promise of re formation ar? allowed more freedom. They work on farms or at trades that will some day give them a good living. Tiley are finally let out on parole, and the probationary experience tends to fix a sense of responsibility. As we have said before, we disap prove of tlie wholesale releasing of prisoners and shutting down of the stete farm !n this state, but we mu?t admit that few and rare have been the cases- where the convicts who wer? treated with mercy have gone back to lives of crime. We have been told that the Instinct is latent, thia the . monster ls Bleeping, ready to spring' noon being aroused. There is no evidence to prove this, but even should lt ,b? true, our advice ls tho proverb "Let sleeping dogs He.." Itt other words don't kick them. Give Immunity a chance to reclaim itself. Of course there can be no real reformation based upon human effort unaided. -1-s ^ -j THE BEAUTIFUL It is almost a* self evident fact that the great white way will be a good thing fdr the city. Why should lhere De anything beautiful? It ls to ele vate, to ennoble.. The sordid, the un ambitious, the selfish see no more' need for the beautiful than they do for the good. The two go together, the beautiful and Lie good, "kal agaton, ka? agathes.V ?
