This article reports on political and economic problems affecting the U.S. The riots in the New York State prisons at Daneemora and Auburn and the Federal prison at Leavenworth have stirred a languid public interest about the question of the treatment of criminals. Few men are willing to face to implications of any real plan for improving the lot of criminal population. In spite of the publicity given to pajamas as summer street dress for men, the Americans have no stalwart hope of the arrival of such a fashion. When the weather is hot enough they may walk around the streets with coats, though they still get a dirty look or a request to mend their habits when they enter a restaurant of any pretensions in that mode.
