Solitary Confinement Has
Proved to Be Failure
SEES UNDERWORLD MENACE
"Solitary confinement as nraetiscd nt
,c UuHtprn i0nltnitlary here proved to
I. . ,, '
T, ",w
Thomas Mutt Osborne, former warden
of Ping King Prisou nnd now in charge
of the Portsmouth naval prison, tnnde
this statement in the course of nn ad
dress to 000 students nt the Wharton
School lit nnon todnv.
He said that solitary confinement as
conceived by certain religious sects was
nit right, tn that rase, he pointed out.
the person could commune with Qod
nnd profess sorrow.
"The tragic experiment of solitary
confinement ns carried on nt the East
ern Penitentiary showpd that the es
sence of its failure is that the man
runnot go out of his confinement once
he is repentnut," Mr. Osborne said.
"The great danger of the country to
day comes not for bolshevism nor ngi
tators, but from the lawless men of
the underworld. These men arc trnned
'by society nnd its institutions to lead
criminnl lives.
"Our prison managements spend their
efforts in trying to keep the men within
the wnlls nnd to prevent them from es
caping. Hut they do not prepare men
to come out of prison. Men in our
prisons should be trained ns mission
aries, to come out with the right Idea,
and work for that idea in the under
world. "In prison thy have regulations nnd
laws which every prisoner tries to
break. When I was in prison serving
as n convict to learn the conviet'H side
I mnde every effort to smash every rule
I could."
Mr. Osborne pointed with pride to
the Portsmouth naval prison, which
he termed "the prison without walls. "
In two years and u half, he said, only
eight prisoners were missing out of
0700.

BABIES FINE CLAY;
SAYS DR. GRAWIWiER
Little Ones Are Neither Angola
Nor Dovils, Holds Clergy
man at Sorvice3
CANADIAN HITS FORMALISM
Bsblcs nre neither derlls nor angcU.
in the opinion of the Her. Carl K.
Oramtner. who talked today at the St.
Stephen's Church lenten srrvicp.
"I don't, ngrrc with those who think
nn utibapllzpd baby Is n little devil,"
said the minister, "nor do I nerre with
srntlmpntallsts thnt babies nre nngrls.
They nrp so much clay, exquisite, to be
sure, holding the promise of much rich
ness. Hut they nre very nnorgnnlr.pd.
They arc very like little monkeys, pigs
and other animals.
"It rpmnlns for them to bp pducated,
to be given religious training and to de
velop into organized men nnd women.
"In shnplng these little creatures first
into animal nature, then human, (lien
dlvlnp nature." continued Doctor
(iraminer, "we need help from outside
ourselves. We arc entitled to drnw
power from nbove. Iteligion teaches
us such power is procurable. Why
should we pray or come to church it
we did not believe that'
"The Lord God is u strength nnd n
shield. Uellginn is nt one with science
in the belief that nur spirits can derive
power from tho eternal spirits. v p
should put faith and trust In God nud
receive strength from Him for molding
the lives of our babies."
Condemns Outward Forms
A fashionable wonian'a way of keep
ing Lent by wearing u purple town or
pinning u bunch of violets at tier belt
was condemned today by tho Very Hev.
Allan Pearson Shutford, of Christ
Church Cathedral. Montreal, Canada,
in his address at the noou Lenten serv
ices ut the Gnrrlck Thrntrp, under the
auspices of the Brotherhood of St. An
drew. Doctor Shatford said that more than
outward form was necessary for thp
proposer observance of Lent. Ho culled
for n true spirit of belt-improvement.
That, he ndded, did not mean abstain
ing from eating meat during Lent und
piling one's plate high with fish.
After telling ot thp formalism of
the Pharisees of old, be said : "We
arc In danger today of the sins which
characterlzpd the Pharisees. The great
thing in religion in not the external
act, but the internal motive."
He said thnt nothing was more plcns
ant than honest laughter, but that in
these days "drawing rooms are full of
the silly cackle of society.1"
lilts Fashionable WedJings
He then dealt a blow nt fashionable
weddings nnd ostentntious tuneruls.
"There is nothing," he said, "which
one to much hates as fashionable wed
dings." Doctor Shatford too., his text from
the seventh chapter of St. Murk, in
which Christ says that man is defiled
only by thnt which comes out of him.
He said that Christ was more con
cerned with the sins of the spirit than
tbu sins of the flesh. He warned his
hrarcrs that, eveti though they were
strong nguiust temptations to get
drunk or commit tbo grosser sins,
there wero sins of the spirit against
which they must steel themselves.
"There is no sin," he wild, "which
so damns n man us the sin of the epirit.
Out of the heart proceeds all evil. The
Muster said that by its fruit shall you
judge a tree. Some of us are trying
to tie good fruit to a rotten tree.
