THE LAND OF THE FREE So multitudinous are the regulations and rules for the government and control now being pushed fellow" other the of reform moveby leaders of ..various ments for enactment into law by the several state legislatures, that well may the Chicago Tribune remark, as it did editorially in a so-call- ed recent issue: J 'h willbeaskedto-signitrorthejudgesan- d juries before whom, violators will btTtaken for ' sentence. This measure is typical of many , of the growing number of criminal statutes. It is a law proposed for the governance of the. whole people and undoubtedly is meant for the .benefit of the whole people, but which is to be put on .the statute books by a small minority or , ' the people. Perhaps the most significant development of our government is that lawk, are not made by the people or the representatives of the pebplerbut by smalt cliques,"tremendously energized over particular questions. These cliques are determined to force their views on such questions upon the multitude, oblivious of the fact that other cliques are forcing views on other questions upon them. The number of new ways of getting a , man into jail is startling, and the question does not seem" to be asked whether the offenses against the community are half as bad as. the penalties imposed. There seems to be a positive mania to find new ways of imprisoning American citizens, and yet there is "hardlyMyone'thingtbatcairte as bad for the individual or the nation as a man in jail who can possibly be kept out. It is not irrelevant to "remark that the growth of democracy in this' country has not resulted in greater, but rather in less freedom. The1 land of the free, the sweet land of liberty, is now infinitely less free than France much 'less free than the kingdom- - of England, hot as free in some important resempire" of Germany, and. we hesL pects as'-thdraw a distinction between the United tatejto States and Russia. - 4 Political offenders in parts of M ongolia are punished by lifetime immolation in coffinlike boxes .stored away in dark dungeons. The horrors of this are graphically punishment portrayed in. the cover design of the Popular Mechanics Magazine. The boxe& are only large enough to contain a man. There is. but one aperture, and that no larger than Tiishead. His lands are manacled, and twice a day atendants bring food and drink, which are, placed in the shackled hands outstretched through these round windows, which are his only communication with the world. Many high- ly .educated .Chinese, so IT said, are imprisoned here.. ititis bul-qui- te The Tribfine expresses no opinion on the eugenics measure indorsed by the city council, for the reason that the Tribune does, not know any, more about the ultimate desirability of of the city such a law than do council, the committees, before whom the law will be discussed," the members ' of either CLOTHES branch of the legislature, the governor who -- Boston, the-membe- MOST TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT IN THE WORLD WORK ON LINER STOPPED BY WAR.

Their aim ought to enlist all womankind but it wont. They seek to make womens garments comfortable as well as pretty, to read sense as synonymous with style, and to have utility, pass as chic. It might be done, of course. It is not for us to throw the cold water of doubt on the idea. But women are altogether likely to go on wearing those extraordinary devices which they call clothesand to blamejtheTnen for them,, hugging to themselves the delusion that the men want them thus arrayed.
