Tlio results of a special Investiga
tion prosecuted for six niontlis past
by a committee of -which Professor
Charles R. Henderson, of iho univer
gity of Chicago, is chairman are be
fore the public. Its largest general
ization' sums up the prison practice
that it finds followod throughout the
country in these words: 'Forco a
man into idleness and give him
thieves and degenerates for com
panions." Well does the report
characterize this as a "satanic recipe
for manufacturing 5rlme;' but it
goes on to demonstrate that this is
the policy literally and systematically
followed in this country. Especially
are the county jails in the United
States "a national shame." "The
very structure of the typical jail is
wrong," says the report. "From
ocean to ocean one uniform plan 1ms
been slavishly copied from bad mod
els a cell or cave of cells surround
ed by a corridor." In most cases
this corridor is the only spot where
the prisoners a'ro permitted to walk
or take exercise, -and ibis must be
necessarily in an atmosphere full of
taint both physical and moral. As
the report points, out, "No man
builds a pig pen Or a--hen coop on
such a plan; much less a residence;
the modern barn or- chicken house
has an outside court for daily ex
ercise." Boston Transcript.

. STATE AND FEDERAL KATE
CONTROL-
" TKestatp railway commissioners,
in their'natiorial convention in "Wash
ington last week, got' upon firm
ground in their protest that "the
besi interests of the people would
nOt:be served to place .thQ en tire re
sponsibility for rate- control" in the
federal government
"' TjlYQuj)bf as 'he "bommisVibneri say,
no general "reduction .of .rates has
followed, action by the federal au
thorities, it will not' be denied that
in the equalizing at rates, the efforts
to suppress rebating ,and in other
ways federal action has accomplished
no little good in interstate com
merce: . '
But the commissioners are right,
and President Roosevelt is wrong,
with respect to traffic which moves
wholly within .a single state. Condi
tions vaty too widely in different
states for the interstate commerce
commission or any other federal
body to deal intelligently with them.
Each state possesses the power to.
name the conditions under which a
corporation shall do business'within
it, and the state is 'best capable of
knowing what those conditions
should be.
In behalf of Its citizens,, and of its
own authority, 'there is every induce-

legislation, if there were no remedy
for it, would bo as harmful to the
people of tho state; as to tho trans
portation compaiiies. But thoro' Is
no desiro on the part of tho people
to injure these companies r and If,

acted, both the state courts and the
federal courts are required by tho
constitution to declare It void.
Tho more our dual form of gov
ernment is studied In tho light of
tho president's now theories, the
more perfect Is its adjustment seen

cessity for stato and federal co-op6r
ation, each retaining and exeroifeing
its full powers. St. Louis Republic.
DUPES OP THE BOSS
The strongest and most unscrupu
lous man can not carry on. his, gamo
unaided, says a writer in Collier's.
In his ruck lie men who have served
his purpose for a day and been
thrown aside. Eyefllling as.tjic big
sinners are, these by-products claim
attention for a moment when tho
crisis comes that reveals 'thm as
guilty tools. Quay died in 1904, a
member of the United States senate
from Pennsylvania, cynically defiant
of his critics, contemptuous of the
men who had tried to convict him as
a criminal. Since his death, the roll
of tragedies traceable to his regime
has increased to nine. Tho last man
to commit suicide, just tho other day,
as the result of such connection was
George W. Delamater of Pittsburg.
Wealthy, a bank president at Mead
ville, a state senator, and ambitious
politically, Delamater was given the
republican nomination for governor
by Quay in 1890. Quay forced his
name on the convention, then took
no further interest in the campaign:
Delamater wrecked his bank trying
to buy victory. Criminal proceed
ings were brought against him; then
Quay abandoned him, and for years
ho led a hand-to-mouth existence in
an alien community. Four Pennsyl
vania state treasurers have died in
disgrace, an auditor general died of
worry, a cashier in the treasury com
mitted suicide, the cashier of the
wrecked People's Bank of Philadel
phia committed suicide, the cashier
of the International National Bank
of Allegheny sought in a self-made
grave refuge from shame. All of
these men were, in some way, Quay's
tools. They served him in. his pur?
pose to control the finances .of. tho
state, and through that' ch ami el, the
politics of the state. ThdyM'acked
the supreme nerve of their leader.
Threatened disgraqo did not stimu-
late them to fight back jpoliticswas
a chess game, they said, in Pehnsyl-'
vania, and Quay was a fine player.
Perhaps. But how reckless jof the
pawns. There are mJn of promise
whose ambitions quicken at .the flat
tery of notice from the local boss.
In Pennsylvania, history lietf a, lesson
for them. :Cincinnati Citterns Bulle
