The liquor interests have made
elections a study for many years
past, because they realize that the
existence of their business depends
upon the results. They are we'll
nigh perfect in the art of manipula-
ton now, while the temperance peO
pie are still playing the part of
noVices. They never begin a cam

GENTLY familiar with election laws to
prevent making mistakes, and they
are not on familiar ground anyway.
Most of the best men in country hold
themselves aloof from politics be-
cause of graft, corruption and mud
singing, and general unpleasantness
mixed up with it. But it is, never
theless, their plain duty to face all
this, and use their franchise for the
good of the home and community.
The man who can vote and does not
vote for any reason he can over
come is the betrayer of sacred
trust. Is it any wonder that politics
are dirty when clean men keep out
of them? If we had many men like

GRIG6s HAZED THE CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY
Late Congressman Made More Laughs Than Any
Often Disconnected the Speaker. Ways Hearings


The death of Representative James
M. Griggs of Georgia took from the
house one of it's drollest wits Mr..
Griggs made more quiet laughs than
any other member of the body. His
keenest delight was to make remarks
soto voce while some other MEM
Der was speaking which completely
disconnected the speaker and made
those who heard him laugh uproar-
iously, while the house wondered
what the joke was.
Mr. Griggs was a member of the
ways and means committee, and dur
ing the hearings on the Payne tariff
bill he hazed every captain of indus
try who appeared. Mr.. Griggs would
sit with solemn face and listen to
the pleas of the sleek, well-fed citi-
zens for more protection regardless
of the fate of the ultimate con-
sumer. When the hearing was about
over Mr.. Griggs would lean forward
and in a confidential tone ask;

coat worn by each man, which in
Morse's case reads ~. S. P. PALS"
Absolute cleanliness is one of the
first principles within this institution.
1t is demanded both of the men and
thelr surroundings. There is a PEN
atty attached to throwing food on the
floor in the dining hall. Yet during
the meal so much of it somehow gets
there that the floor is scrubbed twice
a day.
In this hall 500 men gather three
times a day-7:30 a. M, II noon
and 4:95 p. m, for break
fast consisting, for example, of hash,
bread and butter and coffee; dinner,
beef stew sweet potatoes, bread,
butter and water, and supper, of
lima beans, salt pork, bread and cof-
fee, as the bill happened to be one
day this week. Sunday the bill may
be extended by coffee and perhaps
one other vegetable, as Dreaded to-
matoes for dinner.
Meals Without Conversation.
But simple as it is everything is
of the best quality No table gets
better meat than that at which
Greene, Gaynor and Morse now sit.
And there is no complaint here about
the high price of living. Warden
Meyer gets report on the cost of
feeding daily For Sunday, January
End, it showed 7S7 prisoners were
fed at total cost of $87,849, of
which products valued at $50,8SS
came from the prison farm, leaving
the net cash cost, $36,961, or .046964
per prisoner, or gross cost of
.111625 for three good. substantial
meals for each man for the day
Where else could one get three such
meals at total outlay of 11.2 cents?
Speaking or conversation is forbid
den in the dining room, SO here are
some rules which every convict
learns quickly:
Hold up your right hand for
more bread.
Hold up your cup for more cof-
fee or water.
Hold up your fork for meat.
''Hold up your spoon for soup.
Hold up your knife for vegeta-
bles," and you may even complain
of food or service, if it is justified:
Hold up your left hand for per-
mission to speak to any officer about
the food or service in the dining
room.
But frivolous or groundless COM
plants are discouraged by penalties.
New prisoners go in as first grade
convicts. If they obey all of hun
dred or more rules they may remain
in that grade and have certain privi-
leges; breaking any of the rules is
liable to put them in a lower grade
or cause them to lose some of their
privileges. Second grade convicts
have fewer privileges; third grade
convicts none.
Some of the privileges of first
grade convicts are: One ration of
chewing and one ration of smoking
tobacco each week for those who con-
tracted the habit before they came
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1910-01-19

to the institution; they are not al
lowed to contract it there. Privilege
to write once every two weeks to rel
atives or friends. Privilege to re-
ceive proper letters and one daily or
weekly newspaper. Privilege to re-
ceive visits from relatives or friends
once III two weeks. Privilege to re-
ceive from friends certain articles
for the toilet or other personal use.
No Corporal Punishment.
Sometimes the warden may au-
thorize more frequent visits or let
tiers, as in the case of Morse, who
was allowed to see his wife on more
than one occasion during this week.
There is no corporal punishment.
The punishments include reprimand,
loss of one or more privileges, reduc-
ton in grade, loss of good time, con-
finement in solitary cells at hard
labor and confinement in dark cells
on restricted diet.
There have been only nine es-
capes from the prison since it open
ed. Seven Of these were recaptured.
One of them, who is still in the pris-
on, was a small, wiry barber, who
squeezed through the window bars in
his workshop.
'"That man beat the institution;
he exposed one of it's weak points, y
Warden Meyer said. But no man
can do it today. The only way they
can escape now is to sneak off when

Morse has not yet been assigned
to any regular employment. He will
be given time first to settle down,
to get his bearings and to accustom
himself to his new conditions. 1t
may be several days or week be-
fore he does any work at all. He
has not yet undergone full and de
tailed physical examination. A lame
ness in his right leg will prevent his
being put at any hard labor. He
may be given light work in the tailor
shop, or he may have nothing to do
but take daily exercise; the prison
has more men than are needed to
perform the daily duties. Warden
Meyer might like to have him as a
clerk, if he wrote good hand. But
men accustomed only to signing let
tiers and checks are not noted for
their penmanship.
A novel feature of the prison is
it's tuberculosis hospital series OF
tents set in a half square about q
sun parlor. The tubercular prison
ers do no work; they never enter
the prison itself A number of cures
have been effected.

the evening of Saturday, September 3,
at the Nixon. For this event the best
local talent has been engaged, and ev-
eryobdy knows what the Winnemucca
young people can do in the show line.
The contest for the Carnival Queen
opened this morning and considerable
interest is being manifested in the
event. With its characteristic enter
prise Loveloek has announced a can
didate, and the Winnemucca Young
ladies will be obliged to look to their
laurels or they will lose the great
honor. Any young lady in Humboldt
county is eligible, and it is expected
that. in addition to Lovelock. there will
also be at least one candidate each
from Paradise and Golconda.
Votes may be procured at the lead
ing business houses of the county at
five cnets each. Announcement of the
standing of the young ladies will be
made every other day. beginning with
Saturday of this week. and the result
will be published in the local press.
