Editoi I'KISONS AM) I'RISONEKS There is little likelihood of a cessa- tion of the public inlc-rcst in the dis- cussion of TOodtrn punishment of wrong-doers until such time a.s the matter is fully considered by an in- dependent comnii-ssion of inquiry and It.s recommendations for improvement of institution.-* and inmates are giver, a fair trial. It is not enough to ap- point commissioners and to have then' make sugpestions; that has been done before and the report has been pig- eon holetl, with scarcely a serious recommendation hiedcd. Not even repeated outbreaks in penitentiaries have influenced government or of ficials to devise reforms and remove »11 reasonable cause of complaint. Mr. Nickle, a former attorney gen- eral for Ontario, who, living in Kings- ton and taking a humanitarian in- terest in the nearby Penitentiary in a recent address, showed how great is the need for a thorough over-haul- ing of the entire system of trying, convicting and punishing wrongdoers. Mr. Nickle rightly urges the British tradition that a man is innocent until be is proved guilty. That in every trial the accused should be given all warranted assistance, instead of as is now too often the case, finding public prosecutors making common cause against him. The prosecutor should scrupulously aim to bring out tht facts; he represents the public prim- arily, but hi-.5 duty is also to see that the accused person gels fair play. The public interest in delinquents does not end with their conviction and sentence however, and if there is neglect here we must all pay the penalty. We cannot overlook the fact that a very large proportion of the inmates of penitentiaries arc under 20 years of age â€" many of them first offenders. Hence the need ol the authorities seeing that these youths are seiiarated from the seas- oned criminals, and special efforts made to surround them with special opportunities for instruction, educa- tion and sympathy, thus providing them with incentives to right living instead of sui)plying affiliations lead. ing to the downward road. The new prLson for first offenders, outside the big penitentiaiy at Kingston, was pro- vided by parliament for thue youth- ful offenders and was a grave mis- lake to keep these youths with the recidivists and make the new insti- tution a place of comparative repose for favorite brokers, and kindred fav- orites. Our attention has been called to another grave mi.iapplication of penal regulations. We refer to the habit of Ontario magistrates making the penitentiary a place for sending per- sons convicted of escaping from local prisons. It would be interesting to ascertain how many of these offend- ers have in the last few years, been sentenced to a penitentiary term foi decamping from provincial institu- tions. A friend of ours took a mag- istrate to task for imposing so severe a sentence as two years imprison- ment, when he knew that there was :=tatute, passed by the Provincial Leg- islature, fixing the sentence for un- iawful escape from provincial custody nt imprisonment for one year. Tht It-ply was the production of a circulai from the office of the Attorney Gen- eral directing magistrates to ignoi the provincial law and convict under the criminal code. Thus we have had youths, sentenced to a few months I'etention at a provincial prison farm, given every opportunity to escape, and •mbracing it to gratify the natural love of liberty, and longing for hom« sentenced to the long prison term in the penitentiary, and to associatioi with the wor.-it of criminals. Undei the circumstances, it was a grave mistake to have an offender of this rank .'subjected to such treatment and the taxpayer mulct of the greatly incroasied cost of hid maintenance. Why should a prisoner who escapes from jail or jail farm not W subject to the Ontario law? For .such a mis- demeanor a yearV additional impris- onment at hard labor would surely meet his case. The Penetentiaries retjuire a thor- ough going over, but the manner in which they aje filled up must not be overlooked, if oUr penal institutionp are to be made rl! Ihnt the public have a right to expect. renders the farmer a prey to a hig:hly efficient and well-informed organiza- tion from which he cannot hope to ecurc a just or adequate price," A^ . A. Amos, president of the UnittTi Farmers Co-operative said in an in- terview by The Weekly Sun on the ^'attle situation prevailing in Ontar- io. He described the present mark- eting methods a.s chaotic, and con- demned 4unregulate<l, direct trucking of cattle and hogti from the farm to thp packing plant. The Weekly Sun is conducting an investigation at the present time on the marketing conditions in the stock yards. They claim that the trucks operating direct to the abattoirs ha^ lost the former bargaining powers which they enjoyed in years past, by removing the largest portion of live- stock offered for sale from the com- petitive market. If the stock was shipped direct to the stock yards, in place of to the packer The Sun stated Hockey Broadcasliog For the arm-chair hockey fan, and h's name is Legion, there is a thrill of anticipation in today's announce- ment from headquarters of the Gen- eral Motors Hockey Broadcast.s. First game to go on the air over a Central Ontario network, with Foster Hewitt and Gordon Castle at the microphone is scheduled for Thursday, Novembei 'J, when Boston plays Maple Leafs at the Gardens. Second broadcas-t will be Saturday night, November 11, when the New York Hangers pay Toronto a visit. As far as Ontario radio farni are concerned, they will hear about the .same number of games as last year, but hockey by radio "caught on" to such an extent last year, that the General Motors Hockey Broadcasts are to be extended considerably foi that prices would be more stable and the rest of the Dominion. Games the slock owner would benefit. The Sun is instituting a great crusade anil •should be successful if lliey could only bring the facts of their Investi- gation to the great army of stock raisers, whose interests they are so well attempting to .serve. ••••VV** •*^» • • • • • • • • • • * v*rw I Other Paper's I . Opinions . ..M"i..:~:-:. Somebody Failed â€" Not Orphan In commenting on an item in The Advance about a young boy being taken into a wealthy family on trial for adoption, and then being returnee to the orphan home, the Toronto Stai Weekly ha.s the following to say: "Somebody failed, perhaps, but we are not sure that it was the orphan. Being a ?mall boy he jirobably put on no pretence, but was just himself. Perhaps when he grows older, learns guile, hears of the big chance he missed of being adopted into a fam- ily of great wealth he will wish that he had shown some cunning, some hypocrisy and had pretended to bt exactly the kind of boy others want- ed him to be. Had ho done this he would have been a poorer bit of stufl than he is. In order to judge the case one would need to know some- thing about the "wealthy couple" who took thii orphan on trial. What kind of people were they and what did they expect of a boy who had noi known them and was unfamiliar wilri th-'ir v,ay of life? Did they not want the impossible when they wanted to make over this strange boy into a replica of the .son they had lost â€" a ';on they now idealized, exaggeiating his virtues and furKetling every fault he had over posossed? The scheme would not have workcet am: it wa^ probably just as well that the small boy was set free to live hi:; own in- dependent life. THE OTHER WAY OP SEEING THINGS Some young people are always look" ing forward to the good tiri-.e they will have when they have finished a task They study their lessons in school, oi do their work at the office, thinking what a good time they will have when the work is completed. Often it goe.s oven farther. Some students are thinking how much they will enjoy themselves when they have finished ichool. Having a good lime is more of a habit than anything else. Some- people never enjoy themselves be- cause they formed the habit of being discontentc-d and gloomy when they were young. They growled about their .ichool work, and when they left school, they growled about their jobs; '•ven though the time has come when they neither have to .study nor to work, thty still growl anel giunihle. If you want to have a good time, -tait now, right where you ai-e. Learn the joy there is in washing dishes mowing the lawn, wre.-.tling with al- gebra problems, or hunting for errors that keep your books from balancing. The fact is, there are possibilities of enjoyment in almost everything. â€" Ex. Minneapolis coiiftt decided that when a man left his wife he could alro take the family car along with hir.i. That is more than can be rlaimed for the happily married man who has a grown-up family. CHAOS IN MARhFTING "Every privaie - -* . reprcsertativfe or un expor. .

Committed Suicide By Using Employee's Rifle A young man named Mervin Dav- idson committed suicide by shooting himsj'lf on Monday night at the home of his employer, Wm. Crockford, who lives on the east-back line about a mile south of Mt. Zion church. The young mar^ wa-s 20 years of age No reason has been assigned for his rash act. He was a son of Robt. Davidson of Wareham. Mr. Crock- ford on going to the stable Tuesday found the body with one hand still clasping a rifle and with a bullet hole through his forehead. Nursery Stock Fakirs "Be on guard against Nursery Stock Fakirs," warns J. A. Carroll Superintendent of Horticultural Soc- ieties. "One community recently parted with several hundred dollars S.Z advance on nursery stock to be delivered next spring. It has now been learned that the firm supposedly represented does not exist." "There are many reliable firms in Ontario," states Mr. Carroll, "and no one should purchase from a stranger without being sure of his credentials." AN INDIAN TRAIL How many curves, big and little are there on No. 6 Highway between the Elora Road in Guclph and Main Street, Mount Forest, inclusive? Motorists driving up one day last week took the trouble to count and nrvade the numibeir sixty-one, three every two miles, on an average. Some- times there is a straight road for three or four xnil-.J, at other times there are several cuives within a mile. From Ouelph to Fergus, 13 miles there are twenty-two; From Fergus to Arthur, twelve miles there are twenty, and from Arthur to Mount Forest, 15 miles, there are nineteen, so that on the whole the Indian trail impression is pretty evenly maintain- ed.â€" Mt.

Protection of Roses and Other Plants For Winter In the parts of Canada where the .snowfall is heavy, comes early, and stay.s all winter, ordinary perennials need no other protection, but in dis- trict.i where the ground becomes bare in winter a covering of straw, corn- stalks or pine boughs is advisable Bulbs such as tulips and daffodils .-â- .hould be covered with old manure. At the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, it has been found that daffo- dils sometimes kill out in the winter but a mulch of old manure seems to give the needed protection. Except in the mildest soction.s of the country climbing roses, Hybrid Teas and Hybrid Pc-rpetuals should be covered for winter. As climb- ing roses bloom on last year'-., wood the canes must be kept in good health or there will be very few if any flowers. When the weather turns cool the canes should be taken down from their support and tied together. The bundle of canes should be laid on the ground and earth mounded up around the roots to the height of twelve to eighteen inches. In some varieties the canes are stiff and should be bent over as far as possible and lied to a stake that has been driven into the ground. After the ground i-s frozen the canes should be covered with dry leaves or straw and these covered with boards, placed together to form an inverted V so that water will drain off. It 'is im- portant that the canes should be kept dry as moisture may freeze on the bark and damage it. Building payei is sometimes used. In -spring the covering should be removed gradually. In places where mice are troublesome some wheat soaked in poison should be placed under the covering as they frequently damage the bark of the rose. Bush roses such as Hybrid Per- petuals and H.vbrid Teas bloom on the new wood, so that it is not necessary to keep the whole of the stems alive as the plant will grow and flower if cut back to three or four eyes. The earth should be mounded up around the stems a* recommended for climb- ers and after it is frozen, straw manure, straw or leaves placed over the bods and covered with pine houghs, cornjlalks or chicken wire to keep it in place. As the a«iount of protection re- guired for plants varies according to the climate it i-s advisable to find .out what method has proved success- ful v.-ith other gardeners in the dis- trict. The police of this province are a shrewd and daring lot of men. The one who at present occupies the most prominent place in the hall of fame is the Oshawa upholder of law and order who captured a skunk alive without receivin.g a scent ifor his daring deed.
