Oh, come, ye lords and ladies of the realm, Come keep the watch with me, the show is yours. Behold the source of all our joy and pride, These beasts ye harness fast and set to draw The chariots of your pageantry and pomp. It is this blood ye shed to make your feasts, It is their treadmill that moves all your world. Come sit and think how it will be with you When God shall send his flaming angel down And break these bars, so hath he done of yore. So doeth he to lords and ladies grand, Who feed upon the blood of other men And loose these beasts to raven in your streets. * * * * * _American Prison Association._--The American prison association will hold its annual meeting at Omaha, Nebraska, from October 14-19, 1911.

Editor, _The Review_, Sir--Referring to the article in _The Review_ for July, regarding “Parole in Maryland,” the reporter of the Baltimore _American_, from which paper this was taken, drew a great deal upon his imagination and as a result did not make correct statements.
