Would you be bitter? How many sweet thoughts would you have towards society—how many beautiful fesolutions would you resolve—as you lay, lashed face down ward to the floor of your cell, in the silent, holy night? We are every one of us children, thank God, whether we are convicts or of the unconvicted. It is child-like to respond to kind treatment and that is why you hear no more of such dreadiul occurrences as Jackson's in the penitentiaries of Col orado and Oregon and Arizona, where the state authorities have appealed to the humtn and better natures of their convicts. In the meantime, as the floggings go on monotonously at Jackson, are the convicts in that prison the only “devils?” IT TAKES more than ideal weather to produce standpat voters in this neck of the woods THERE'S one thing about a passenger agent convention that gives it a place of its own.
