Are You Guilty of This?

The following on the mail or
der question is worth reading:
A dry goods merchant was
starting down town when his
wife reminded him OF his most
important duty during the day.
Snow, my dear, don't forget to
send to the city for that new
Stanhope, so we can have it by
Sunday. You know our old bug
gy is getting so that it is not fit
to be seer"
Just a few blocks away the
merchant who handles vehicles
and implements Was sitting at
breakfast with his family. The
conversation drifted to the near
approach of school. "And that
reminds me, John" said the lady
who sat at the head OF the table.

later than next week. ] must get
goods for the children's school
clothes, and then while | am
there I'd better see about a new
rug for the parlor and lace cur
tains for the front windows
An hour or two later the towns
leading grocer stepped into the
bank to buy a draft, which he
was going to send to a eatalog
house for a "swell'' bedroom
suit. "How's business2" asked
the banker so, not so very
good" replied the coffee and su-
gar merchant, resignedly. BUS
mess is a little dull just now"
Before the banker had finished
writing the draft a dapper young
man stepped in and asked
how everybody was. The bank
er seemed glad to see him-he
was the representative of a big
printing establishment in anoth-
er state. He and the banker
chatted pleasantly for a few
minutes, after which the young
man inquired casually of his
friend behind the window if he
wanted anything. Il believe /
do. Print us 5000 drafts. s.
600 checks and 1000 letter
heads. The young man thank
ed him cordially for the order
and hustled out.
That night the local business
men had IA meeting in the town
hall to discuss the growth of the
mail order evil. All of the gen.
tlemen mentioned in the narr9-
tive delivered short talks. They
ali agreed that the farmers were
guilty of treason to their home
merchants when they persisted
in buying their goods of mail or
der houses, and the meeting
closed by adopting strong reso-
Iutions against trading away
from home Exchange.

James R. Linn, of this city, will be
appointed a member Of the new pa
role board by Governor West, ac-
cording to political gossip about the
capitol building, and by those who
claim to know 1t is predicted that the
appointment will be made in the next
few days. The law creating the board
was passed at the last session of the
legislature, and goes into effect on
May 20.
In addition to providing that the
board shall consist of three members,
one of which shall be the superin-
tendent of the state penitentiary, It
also prescribes the duties of the
board and changes the parole law. It
is made the duty of the board to keep
in touch with conditions at the state
prison, and to ascertain what pris-
oners are worthy of parole, and to
submit such report to the governor,
who is vested with the parole power.
The board is given power to pres
scribe its own rules and regulations.
Must Impose Indeterminate Sentence
Under the old law it was optional
with Judge whether he imposed the
indeterminate sentence or not, but,
under this new law, 1t is compulsory.
The law provides that at the time Of
sentence the judge must advise the
prisoner that he Is sentenced with
out Limitation of time-what the
maximum and minimum sentence Is,
and of the fact that after he has
served the minimum he may be pa
rolled, providing his conduct has been
good. The law is made to apply to
those now serving definite sentences
in the state prison. AS in many cases,
under the old law, judges imposed
definite sentenres upon prisoners who
we're not really criminals at heart,
and who, were they given parole,
might reform and become good cit-
zens, the new law is considered an
improvement upon IT,
Seventy Wanted in Other States.
AS the law applies to those now in
the state prison there will be gener-
al wedding out when it goes into ef-
feet. There are now $50 prisoners
who have served the minimum SEN
tence and all of them will probably
make application for parole. Those
whose conduct has been good will
no doubt receive one, but out OF the
$50 it is estimated that there are 10
who are wanted in other states for

ment to take hand. The sufferers
at Tecarte and Tia Juana are not all
refugees, IL the estimate of their mum
ber is correct. Immigration officers
in San Diego, and other persons ac-
quainted with the border rountry,
agree that there are not 25 families
at the most who belong along the bor-
der on the Mexican side between Tia
Juana and Campo. AS many of the
members of the 25 families are men,
1t is difficult to account for 200 refu-
gees.
