J S-------- \ Industries a Disgrace The industrial conditions in the penitentiaries are a disgrace to the dominion. An honest attempt is made by the officers to keep all the prisoners employed at somethimg, but it is only an attempt. As far as the cominissioners could learn, there is not a single well-equipped, well- managed, ¢ontinuously busy shop in the whole circle of prisons. The rea- son is not far to seek. There are no goods to make, and if goods were made, there is no place to market them. The possible solution of the labor difficulty in the penitentiaries na- turally groups itself under two head- ings (a) outside work, general farm- ing operations, clearing land, quarry- ing stone, making brick, building roads, etc.; (b) inside work, em- ployment in the various departments for the proper upkeep and manage- ment of the prison. Employment in the making of goods for the state. The farms at Kingston should af- ford means for the employment in summer of a great deal more of the surplus labor than it now uses. From twenty to twenty-four is the maximum number engaged on the arm, even in the busy time. It was idle to say that from fifty to one hun- ired men could not be profitably en- zaged on the land. There are mar- ket gardens all arolind the Kingston 'arm, and all kinds of vegetables, with the exception of potatoes, can be grown in abundance. It might be possible to treat it as to make it pro- iuce a good yield of potatoes. The difficulty on the farmcappears to be 10t in the land, but in the prison management. More men are not at work on the farm because of the fear f the officials of eseape, and the trouble in looking after the workers.

Prison {management should not be measur od in inverse ratio to the number of vearly escapes, A trusty gang could be recruited from almost any prison but must be carefully selected. il { Prison's Chief Troubles commissioners stated that {they were forced to the conclusion fiat the state had been' grossly {negligent in not providing proper | work for its prisoners. Public opin- lion forced the abandonment of the | contract system and the closing {down of the shops operated under it {but public opinion did not bar the | way to the employment of prisoners {in work for the state. The lack of {proper employment at Kingstan has { been the cause, they believed, of the institution s chief troubles. i Under the state use system many lines of industry might be profitably 'ntered into. - One of the most suit able for the prisoners and the most profitable to the state, would be a furniture factory for the manufac- ture of all kinds of office furniture Other industries suggested them elves, clothing, boots, shoes, blank- tents, ete, for the mounted police and militia; tinware utensils for all services; mail bags and re- pairing same; rural mail boxes, etc., hospital beds and tables. Other lines of manufacture for the government could be successfully carried out. The system should be given not a stinted but a generous application Private interests have made it im- possible for the government to allow its prisoners to labor for the open market. Such a course marked the only sure way to the reform of the penitentiary system in Canada. The * "Payment of Prisoners It wis strongly urged on the com- missioners that prisoners should be paid wages, or that a portion of their earnings be devoted to the mainten- ance of their families. At the pres- ent time, the prison population of Canada, far from earning anything for the state, costs the government for maintenance over $300 a head. Even if a well selected circle of state industries were established, and suc- cessfully operated, it is not likely that they will ever mabe the prisons self-sustaining. They shou how- ever, very materially reduce the an- nual burden on the country and at the same time, provide a fund for the remuneration of prisoners or assist- ance of prisoners" families. A Parole Bom The commissioners were impresg- ed with the idea that a parole sys- tem could best be administered with the assistance of a small board ap- pointed at each institution. That board could meet monthly and con- sider the applications for parole, see and interrogate the applicants, hear the reports from the warden, and the other officials, and advise the minister of justice on each case. Membership on the bedrd would be purely of an honorary character. -- Systenr'at Fault That the unsatisfactory conditions at the Portsmouth penitentiary are the outcome of the system of admin- istration, was the opinion expressed under the heading of "management of penitentiaries It was stated that the place is per- vaded by a spirit of distrust and sus- picion amongst the -- Fdinate of; bes antmosities 4 fo such an 'extent, that they bave seriously af- fected the welfare of the inmates, It is difficult to see how any refor- matory work can be carried on where such a spirit prevails. When officers are quarreling, nursing personal grievances and imaginary wrongs, and making them the subject wf prison gossip from day to day, their influence on the prisoners cannot be good. Many of the guards are not qualified by education or character for the positions they fill. Guards: who obtain their appoint- ments by misrepresentating their age and other sinister means, are not men whose influence will tend to uplift those in charge. When they carry on illicit traffic in tobacco and rob the convicts in doing so, they cannot help to make the prisoners honest men. Their influence must have an evil effect which nothing can overcome. The possible effect of the petty tyranny over the prisoners of ignorant and brutal guards are pain- ful to think of. The moral standards pervading the prisons are to be esti- mated from these facets. These con- ditions result in a great measure from (1) The present mode of ap- pointing guards through political in- fluence, and (2) From the warden's hands being tied so that practically he is impotent to control or dismiss an official who has political influence, no matter what his offence may be. Formerly, it appears that the war- den was invested with full authority to employ and dismiss guards. Some fifteen years ago, this .power was taken away from him, and the result has been the lessening of his influ- ence as an administrator; the em- ployment of men utterly unsuitable for the work, and the consequent de- moralization of the penitentiary ser- vice. As to the conditions we are dealing with, and the causes which produce them, there is a concurrence of opinion among prison officials. The commissioners believe that no lasting improvement in the condition of the penitentiaries can be looked for, so long as the present system of management is adhered to. It is impossible, apparently, to fix the responsibility for many of the evils complained of. . The warden dis- claims responsibility, and the inspec- tors say that they are not respon- sible, in many cases. What is need- ed is a- management, unhampered by political influence, vested with full power to reorganize the system, and held strictly responsible for the cous can duct Jf the pgenitentiaries. The\jmpoftance of the work scarcely over-estimated. At the very outset, a line of industries must be established. To place each of these industries in the most suitable institution and fully equip and officer them, are important undertakings. More important still, is the better adjustment of the routine and dis- cipline of the prisons to the moral and intellectual improvement of the prisohers. Responsibility there must be, and in the final analysis that responsibility must rest on the de- partment and the government. But in 'the working-out of re-organiza- tion and the subsequent management of each prison, those charged with the duty should be given a free hand. To no other department of the pub- lic service is the commission system so well adapted. Wherever it has been tried the results have been gratifying. A penitentiary commission of three members would meet every re- quirement of the situation. To that commission should be given full power to re-organize the prisons, in- dustrial and otherwise, make regula- tions for their management, select men for the administrative officers and then hold these men responsible for the results. As a body, the com- niission would control the whole circle of penitentiaries. Individually they would perform the duties of an inspectorate, The department of Justice, while exercising supreme authority over the commission would be relieved of the details of management and the pressure of political appointments. CARRIES FIGHT TO QUEBEC John H. Roberts to Consult Revenue Department. Quebec, April 23.--John 1 Ro- berts, secretary of the Dominion Al- liance, was in town yesterday for the purpose of seeing the provincial re venue department in reference to the fight against license reduction being put up in Montreal. He explained a large number of the liquor dealers in Montreal were changing their business into limited companies with a view to perpetuatipg their licenses. The matter will be looked into by the department here. and a stern re- sistence offered to: the tactics of the liquor dealers by the Dominion Al- liance. Mr. Roberts said that if necessary further legislation would be sought to ensure the enforcement of the lnw in-the manner the govern ment intended it to be enforced when it was passed. that Swat the Flea Suznicion has fallen upon the flea as responsible for scarlet fever.

Mothers are well aware how quently children contract sores, ringworm, ete., at Some little sufferer is sent with a sore of this nature. At 'play the children change caps, and right there the infection is spread--the da- mage done. : Some children are particularly ble to scalp sores, etc., and often these break out with anmoying fre quency. Such a case was that of the daughter of Mrs. Albert Gaedike. of 485 Amberst street. Montreal. Mrs. Gaedike says: "My little three-year old daughter suffered frequently from scalp disease, and try as we would, we copld not rid the little one of this. We tried everything we could think of, but failed to effect a cure, until we were advised to try Zam- Buk, This balm seemed entirely dii- ferent to anything wé had ever tried before, and from first applying it there was a marked improvement. The sores became less inflamed and less irritable. After a few days they ceased to trouble the child; and in less than a fortnight from first com- mencing with Zam-Buk they were completely healed. In view of these facts I feel it my duty to let mo- thers know how beneficial Zam-Buk is," There is no doubt that sores, ringworm, Mlcers, cold cracks, chapped hands, bite, and similar sores, Zam-Buk absolutely without equal. It is as good for piles, varicose poisoned wounds, ents, burns and scalds.

NEW YORK "Sweethearts" Drew a Large Audi. ence on Wednesday Night It was a "standing room house' that greeted "Sweethearts," an op eretta by Victor Herbert, last night at the Grand. The fact that Her bert wrote the music for the pro duction, and that the cast included "Tom" McNaughton, the English co median, and Miss; Nella McCoy, was sufficient to assure a capacity house Jesides, there was a special Victor Herbert orchestra, whose playing was delightful. Queen's students were very conspicuous in the "gods," and be came merrily familiar with the bald headed row and the orchestra. So pleased were the students with the or chestra that they shouted to Director Kantzembach that if his musicians would remain over until next wesk they would be engaged for the final dance at the university. Three hours of excellent comedy and delightful music were enjoyed by the audience, - Besides the inimitable "Tom" - McNaughton there was Leo Stark in the role of a bally-ass Fng- lishman, which . was filled to perfec tion. Two splendid tenors were heard in Carl Gantvoort and Fdwin Wilson. The chorus. was the best heard here in some time and the settings were exceptionally good. To-night "The Red Widow."

"Mutt and Jefi" are too well known to need further introduction to local patrons of the theatre.

In the new play, which wad written by Owén Davis, "Mutt and Jefi" have plenty to do. They. are here, there and everywhere and what they do is the signal for merry laugh- ter, hilarity and mirth.
