Deliver us from sentimental notions of pity for convicts! De liver us from the silliness of "scientific penologv." Excess of this stuff produces results like that of Tracy in Oregon last year and thatof the California affair. "Prison reform" has gone far and away be yond the bounds of common sense. The prison should be a hard place, The harder the better. Theoretically "prison reform" and "scientific penology" may serve for a senti- mental exercise, to those who have nothing better to do; hut they would better be fishing or cutting nnrdiv.m.?

The time has come to enforce the penalties. It is up to the judges, juries and executives, and to that public opinion or sentiment which controls all. Wrungell, (Alaska), St-ntinci.

Time to The rains of Monday and Tuesday did very little damage in the hop yards around Dallas, and should the present warm dry weather continue, a fine crop will be harvested. The damp weather caused much, alarm among tho growers, many of whom an nounced their intention to begin pick Ing ns early as Saturday of this week if the rain continued. But the showers ended with the very weather that the growers have beon praying for, and picking will not generally begin be fore next Wednesday. Hops In West ern roiK uounty are or excellent quality, and an average yield is promised. J.

For a thing of comparatively little intrinsic value, the America's Cup, for which the contest between the yachts, "Beliance" and "Shamrock III" Is now on, appears to be attract ing the attention of much of the civil ized world. It is described as an old tarnished flagon of silver, not un. mixed with pewter, and is neither useful, or, if experts are to be believed,, ornajnental. In the first place it has no bottom, being a hollow cylinder, incapable of holding liquid. Seamen consider this a disqualifying feature, and artists say so far as beauty is concerned it has none. But while all this may be true, there never was an old metal pot in the world's history that has excited such eager competl. tion or occasioned the expenditure of so many millions since 1831,' as has this tarnished flagonthe prize of the yacht, "America." Formerly the yachtsmen of Boston and New York bore all the expense of defending America's pup, This year the money ed interest of the whole oountry, in eluding bankers, railway magnates, Standard Oil, steel trust and other magnates entered into powerful com bination to prevent Sir Thomas from "lifting" the antiquated trophy. If Sir Thomas Lipton does not "lift" the cup, and it would seem that he is about to score another failure to capture the coveted trophy, he will have the satisfaction of knowing that he has spent more money, worked harder and behaved better thn any body who has had designs against the much desired prize. Besides, be gets a bit of advertising out of it all for his business. Of all the yacht men who have challenged for America's cup, Sir Thomas is easily the most popular with every one. His visitors' book on the "Erin" Is filled with the names of illustrious and dls tinguished men and women who have enjoyed bis hospitality, including King Edward of England. ; Dr. M. L.
