WORDS OF APPRECIATION

To the Editor of The Press, Sir:
 I like The Press. Have taken it from the first copy. I like the vir- ility of it's editorials, though some times, as would be natural, l do not agree with it's line of argument. But think it's editors are trying to help emancipate the grand, stable, loyal common people from the grip of mo- nopoly. I'm an optimist, and l hope am not too much of "crank" but there is tremendous task before the American people if government by the people and for the people" is to characterize our nation. The present tendency "back to the farm" Is a good omen and yet there will be a continuance of the massing of hordes of unAmericanized people in the cit ies, which calls for the united effort of every true patriot to help edu- cate and assimillate.
 Your editorial on the U. s. Lottery hits the bulls eye. I do wish some- body could or would pound some sense into the General Land Office; enough of 1t that a small particle might filter down in the local land offices. That Yuma Lottery" and this expensive and foolish trial now going on in Los Angeles makes one wish something sensible and com mensurate with the dignity and best good of the nation might be brought to pass.
 But that first carload of cotton shipped out of Imperial Valley was

PRISON REFORM
A Book That Tells How Criminals Are Treated and lndicts Penal
 System.

Crime and Criminals is the title of a book about to be issued by the the Prison Reform League, 443 South Main street, Los Angeles. It is dedi- cated to Tolstoy and bears on it's title page a quotation from Presi- dent Taft, in which he says that the administration of the criminal law and the prosecution of crime are a disgrace to our civilizations
 This dedication and quotation give the key to the contents of the book which is a plea for the abolition of the revengeful spirit in connection with the treatment of crime and cri- minals, and the substitution of that humaner and more modern philoso- phy which regards the wrongdoer as the victim of unavoidable eviron- ment.
 The book contains a life sketch, San Quentin as I Knew It," by Grif- filth J. Griffith, secretary and treas urer of the Prison Reform league Colonel Griffith has lectured and writ ten so much during the last three years that Californians have become very generally aware that the condi- tions in San Quentin have not been such as to reflect credit on their State; but the detailed account now given by him, and founded on his own personal experiences cannot but make a profound impression.
 The book is illustrated and hand somely got up, although put on the market at low price of one dollar It is clear that the league has no in tention of making money out of it, for it is announced specifically that all profits will be devoted to a fund for the release of prisoners unable to raise the amount needed for obtain ing the paroles to which they are otherwise entitled.

SOUTH SIDE ROAD ID
 TEMPE IN FINE SHAPE
Statement That Road Will Have to Be Built to Connect With Center Street Bridge Site Denied by eusi- ness Men.

Exception was taken by Dwight B. Heard and others to statement made in the Tempe department of The Republican of Thursday morning. The statement, which was generally criticised by business men of Phoenix as inaccurate and false, was as fol- lows:
 The taxpayer should bear in mind that the cost of constructing a road from the south end of the Center street bridge, if built, to the Mesa road, will be about equal to the bo- nus that has been raised by the Cen ter street faction
 MT. Heard, who was corroborated by a number of others who have been over the road many times, said: That road has been in use twenty five years and is in excellent condi- ton. It is a splendid road and one of the best in the county. It has been used in connection with Gray's crossing, and the portion of 1t neces- sary to connect with the south end of the Center street bridge-a little over a half mile in the middle of section 2O-has been Iaid out by the board of supervisors and is in first class shape The road is being i'm proved in boulevard style and lined with palms There is hardly better road in the valley"
 To set all doubt at rest in regard to the condition of the road between Tempe and the southern end of Cen ter street, a committee from the board of trade proposes to show the prominent citizens of the valley. who are doubtful about it, over the course in the near future. probably some time during the coming week.
