Then comes the sallow complexion; conn sa 1s the pimply face: the dull the blood. etc. A very quick and sensible way to stop the trouble as well as to cure 1t is by the use of pr.

VIEWS PAROLE AS A NEED
Rev. Zed H. COpp Points Out Good
of Proposed Law.
Declares IL Has Many Features That
Appeal 20 the Economist and
Make IL COmmendabIe.

The best features OF the bill to pro-
vide a system Of probation and parole
for the District. according TO Rev. Zed
r. Copp are four.
THE system would save the prisoner
10 himself and family" said Rev. Mr.
Copp. would save the State citizen,
would diminish that university Of vice
and crime in the prisoner among other
offenders, and would reduce taxes for the
maintenance Of the prisons
''The bill has passed the Senate and is
now In the Committee on the Judiciary
Of the House. II is one Of the best legis-
lative measures ever constructed. and
promptly commends itself TO the econ
OmIst.
Parole would save what little self
respect the man might have after con-
vict0n, and would give him an oppor-
tunity 90 redeem himself. Il saves him
from the degradation Of prison life and
the sohriquet Of Jail bird after he has

its members to more respectable society.

tons.
From experience with hundreds Of de-

unued Rev. Mr.. Copp I am satisfied
that the adult offender VIII prove his
appreciation of this measure by respond
ing in manly way TO its provisions.
"The saving Of 80 per cent Of all pro-
bationers In the District Of Columbia

saving Of $4,000 to the government here

CITY REFORM GROWS
DeS MOineS System a Great
Success, Says Mr.. Shibley,
DESCRIBES PROGRESS IN YEAR
Main Feature of Plan Is Small COun-
ell Elected by People, Which Elm
fnnfes Graft and Conducts City'S
ARnirs en- Business Basis, Declares
President of Home Rule League.

In an address before the Secular
League yesterday afternoon, Senator
Shibley, president of the Peoples Home
Rule League OF America, described the
progress Of governmental reforms in the
United States in the last twelve months.
In 1903 the initiative and referendum
were established in a number of cities in
connection with the Des Moines plan Of
city government. he said. According 10
Mr.. shibley, the Des Moines system is a
gIeat success. and is rapidly spreading
throughout the country.
People Elect Council.
I'm Iowa Kansas, South Dakota, North
Dakota, and Mississippi the legislatures
have authorized the larger cities TO adopt
II. The main features of the improved
system is a small council Of FIVE mem
bers, elected by the people. after having
been nominated by nonpartisan open pri-
martes. Members Of the council are the
heads OF the executive department. AS is
the case here in Washington. Under the
Des MoInes plan the action of the !egis-
lative body is subject to a veto power
in the voters through the referendum.
Under this system graft is practically
unknown. it is claimed. and the cities
affairs are conducted by business men on
a business basis. Other improvements In
governmental machinery that were In
stalled during the last year We're direct
nominations in New Hampshire Mich
igan, California, Nevada and Idaho.
Direct Selection Adopted.
Direct selection Of United States Sen
ators by the people was established in
Michigan. California, Nevada, and Idaho.
This makes a total of twenty-nine States
"a remarkable showing.
In Colorado the legislature adopted
the idea advanced by President Roose-
welt in 1866, that IN the contest between
the nominees the people should pay prac-
tically all of the campaign expenses. In
Nebraska "a law was enacted providing
for publicity before the election for the
names Of all contributors IN excess Of
So. In Oregon in 1903 the people, through
the use Of direct legislation, established
a stringent law concerning the use of
money in campaigns"
Machine Rule Doomed.
Mr.. Shibley told Of the use Of the re-
call in Los Angeles and In two small
cities in Oregon In conclusion. he
claimed the movement for more power
in the voters Is on the Increase. and
therefore machine rule IS doomed
1t is this growing power OF the peo-
pie" he said, that accounts for the
presence Of insurgent Republicans in
congress. and 1 predict a regeneration Of
the Republican party within itself as the
result Of the direct primaries"
