The Christian Guardian reviews Inspector Stewart's diatribe against prigdn reform and adds: ~ The truth is that prison reform has largely come™rom without, and has in not a few cases been forced upon a reluetant staff by an awkward pub- lic sentiment. In Ontario our prison farm has taken the place of the jail, and it has been a great benefit, and someone, either some "self-constitut- ed reformer' or some penitentiary official, should raise his voice loudly enough 'to secure for all our convicts the privilege of toil. It is a standing disgrace to us that in our dealing with our criminal class we are so far| behind the knowledge of our day. | For the sake of the state, for his | family's sake, and for his own sake, every convict should be suitably em- ployed. This is one of the teforms which is already on the way, and our penitentiary farms are a great step in | curiosity: of their friends at home, AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE ON THURSDAY NIGHT } "The Black Feather," Was Appreciated--Galléry Calls and | Late Comers and Goers Cause An-| noyance, 3 | The presentation of "The Black | Feather" was greeted by a large, en-| thusiastic audience at the Grand | Opera House on Thursday night. The! play itself was written for the pecu-| liar "eccentricities of character d | lineation that Albert Brown indulg | in, and for the most part is a very | capable piece of work. | | Albert Brown as Dick Kent, a Brit-| | { ish secret service agent, plays the | jrote of a monocled English Johnny | { very cleverly while it, is necessary, | and then throws off the cloak and appears in his true self. As a French-| man in one part of the play he is| superb and demonstrates his versa- | tility. ! For a play dealing with the ways| of diplomatic circles a strong cast is | always necessary, and Mr. Brown has | a most capdble company with his. | Gladys Hopeton, as Countess Wan- | da von Holtzberg, plays a difficult | role with remarkable facility, and | assumes the Austrian mannerism and | accent cleverly. Sara Perry and | Charles Welsh-Homer as Lady Ven- etia Claxton and Sir George Claxton take their respective roles, she as an old fashioned and narrow minded aristocrat'and he as a blustering, blunt old English gentleman in an interesting fashion, Clemence Randolph won her way into the hearts of the audience and many comments on her charm and grace were passed. / Altogether the play is' most credit-| Able, and should have the warm sup- port of theatre-going Canadians. One of the disagreable features of Thurs- day night's performance was the im- polite calling from the galleries of some ignorant persons at crucial times in the play. This offence seems to be becoming more preval- ent. Another thing which annoyance is the late entrances and || early exits of people who certainly || have no regard for the pleasures. of || others. It is to be hoped that these] impolite occurrences may be elimin-| ated. { { "SOMME WHERE IN FRANCE" How Johnny Canuck Eludes the Cen- sor In His Letters, One of the things that parents wish to know about their sons at the front is their whereabouts along that great battle-line that stretches from Switzerland to the English Channel. At various times the Canadian troops at the front have attempted to elude the rigid censorship, and satisfy the At times success has met their efforts, but generally sepaking failure | to have the information passed was the result. Recently, however, since the Canadians have been transferred Johnny Canuck, unaware that the people at home know just about where they are situated, has hit upon the idea of heading their letters, "Somme where in Franée" instead of "Somewhere in France" as has Much | Men's Fall Shoes $4 to $750 .Shoes are getting higher in price every day.

'A "Tommy" is always supposed to be resourceful, and this is one of the ways he shows it.

But w¢ need to go farther still, B And while we recognize that dis-| cipline must be maintained, and that | the men who are not conversant with all the facts should be slow to offer advice, yet at the same time we sub- mit that the introduction of humane methods into prison management is no_longer on trial, but has abundant- Iy justified itself by results, and when it comes to a comparison he- tween the "physical Toree" methods and the "moral suasion" ones, we think it will be found that the latter have abundantly justified (hem- selves, and if Insppetor Stewart's re- marks mean that the management of our Canadian penitentiaries stands committed to the older and more brutal methods of force ahd terror- ism, we can only express our regret that such is the case. We have no plea for "goody-goody" reformers who would make heroes of crimin als, but we unhesitatingly endorse every effort to- make "men" out of them, and this cannot be done by any form of terrorism, even when done in the name of the law. | DATES OF FALL FNRS Dates of fall fairs in Eastern On- tario as announced by the Agricul tural societies branch of the Ontario .
