THE LIST STILL OPEN.
Jome Along and Take Your Subscrip.
ton to the Park-NOW is
the Time.

The subscriptions 10 the park for
Newberry continue to come In, and,
while none Of them are large, in the
aggregate we can make up the amount
if We can secure enough small ones.
We would prefer 70 have the amount
made up of small subscriptions rath-
er than in one or two large ones. This
lis to be the peoples park, and if ev-
rybody is interested, Of course, it
lows that everybody will take more
bride in keeping the park up to the
standard.
We already have a sufficient amount
subscribed to assure the park, and to
begin operations. Of course, we
would prefer to have a little more, but
it is the hope of those who are in
terested in this movement to organ
ize the Park association, and to begin
laying out the grounds in the very
near future. Let everybody who is
interested come along now and get in
on the ground floor and help to push
the enterprise along.
The following is the list of sub
scriptions to date:

Swift Justice.

Last Wednesday morning a man was
sentenced to ten years in the peniten-
tiary by judge in Prince George Coun-
ty for manslaughter committed exactly
seven days previously. The example ot
swift justice was one that deserves to
be commended and ought to find dupli-
cation in this city.
There are at present confined in the
District jail no less than seventeen per-
sons charged with various degrees Of
murder. Some of them have been kept
waiting many months for trial
1t would seem as if the machinery OF
the courts might be expedited so as to
bring accused criminals to the bar ot
justice within a reasonable period after
the crime has been committed and be-
fore testimony of witnesses becomes
confused and indefinite through the lapse
of time.

MAN FROM SOUTH
FOR COURT ROBE
Democrat May Be Chosen as
Harlan's Successor.
Photo By C1inedinSt-

That a Southern Democrat will be
chosen to fill the vacancy in the United
States Supreme Court caused by the
opinion of a comfortable majority Of the
gossipers who have been making con-
lectures about the appointment.
Senator Hoke Smith, OF Georgia; Sena-
tor Claude A. Swanson, of Virginia; Solic-
itor General Lehman. Of Ohio, and Dis
trlct Judge Gordon Russell. Of Texas, are
the Democratic favorites in the race for
the post. There are three Democrats
on the Supreme bench now, Associate
Justice Lurton. Associate Justice Lamar,
and Chief Justice White Politicians say
it would be a courteous move, as well
as good politics, for President Taft to
appoint a fourth Democrat associate Jus
tlce.
Another rumor that is going the rounds
is that the Middle Western insurgency
stronghold will get the judicial plum.
What more logical move, say the wise
acres. could be made than the appoint
ment Of one of the score or more dis
tinguished judges OF the district that is
to be the firing line for the next two
years, to the Supreme Court?
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Nagel and Attorney General Wickersham
are also prominently mentioned. If the
next associate justice is taken from the
Cabinet, the almost unanimous opinion is
that the choice lies between these two,
though Secretary OF State Knox also
has supporters.
1t is expected that the appointment
will be made within thirty days.

Daily Routine of the Arab.

From the Kansas City Star.
The daily routine OF the Arab Is simple
and well ordered. He is up with the day
break, and as soon as possible loads his
camels; then he rides for some four or
five hours before he has his first and
morning meal. which usually consists OF
dates and water; then he is on again
until late in the afternoon. when a halt
is made for the night. Supper usually
consists OF warm bread. with an onion
or dates as a relish. Bread is prepared
in as simple a manner as possible. While
the coarse -four and water are being
kneaded into dough a large fire is made,
which provides a good heap OF hot ashes.
On part OF these the aattened dough is
laid, then covered With the remainder Of
the ashes. In about fifteen minutes the
dough is sufficiently baked 1t is then
we'll beaten to free it from ashes, broken
in pieces and divided among those who

made by some member of the party and

Equal Pay for SchOol-teachers

Mayor Gaynor has signed the bill
which places the salaries OF the women
school-teacherS OF New York City upon
an equality with those Of the men The
new law will add SS,5ooooo 10 the
amount now expended fer pay OF
teachers
1t is the opinion Of Mayor Gaynor
that the new law, instead OF decreasing
the number OF men teachers will in
crease it, because the economical reason
for appointing women teachers has been
removed. While this is an admission
that the latter have been employed be-
cause their services could be more cheap
ly obtained, we believe that the good
sense of the New York school authori-
ties will not be in favor of substituting
men for women teachers, especially in
the graded schools. Experience has
demonstrated that women are natural
teachers and are generally more sy1npa-
thetic and effective in their management
of children.
In Washington, fortunately, there is
a rule which provides that absolutely
no discrimination shall be made between
the pay of teachers because of sex. Con-
sequently, the women teachers here have
little cause for protest upon that score
1t may be that they are not sufficiently
paid, but otherwise they have received
treatment of which they cannot and do
not complain.

Where The Herald Stands.

The Washington Herald called atten-
ton few days ago to the fact that The
Washington Board of Trade had finally
awakened to the importance of urging
upon Washington people the wisdom
and justice of spending their money
with Washington merchants. It's action
is in line with the policy which this
paper has persistently urged.
1t is difficult to see, however, how the
Board of Trade is to make any head
way when its efforts are neutralized by
newspapers which publish advertise
rents announcing the sales of goods by
out-of-town concerns.
Perhaps this is the reason why the
Board of Trade ignores the newspapers
in presenting its appeals to the Wash
ington public and uses street cars as its
advertising medium.
The Washington Herald, however,
does not belong to the class of news
papers which help these outside firms.
We absolutely decline 10 print their ad-
vertisements. We believe that it is not
fair to the Washington merchants,
whose money is invested here and who
are in business here all the year around,
to give assistance to the itinerant mer-
chants who come to Washington for a
brief season, pay minimum tax, and
then depart, with the money of Wash
ington people in their pockets to spend
elsewhere
Washington merchants are responsible,
and they are permanently located here.
They cannot, if they would, afford to
sell merchandise under false Pretenses.
Their credit and their reputation are at
stake. This safeguard is not attached
10 people who come and go almost over
night.
We are for the Washington merchants,
and we will help the Board of Trade
in its laudable object. We will not, like
other newspapers here, directly or indi-
rectly injure Washington merchants by
giving aid and comfort to itinerant con-
Germs.

PLEASED AT HEARST'S ACT.
Democrats Believe 1t Insures New
York to Party.

In speaking OF the announcement by
William Randolph Hearst that he had
registered as a Democrat, Edward A.
Newman, Democratic national commit
teeman for the District Of Columbia, said
last night:
Il am always glad to see people who
are really Democrats at heart come back
into the party, and am particularly de-
lighted 10 see a man Of Mr.. Hearst's in
fiuence back. His action will have a
tremendously good result, as well as a
large one, in New York and in the West.
His action means that the Democrats
will surely carry New York in the ma
tional election"
Senator George E. Chamberlain, of
Oregon:
IT am very glad. indeed. to note by
The Herald that Mr.. Hearst has come
back into the Democratic party, and the
reasons he gives for doing so are rea-
sons that will appeal to a great many
people and make them do likewise. 1t
is perfectly true, as Mr.. Hearst says.
that the Democratic party has done good
work in Congress, and believe that It
deserves to have rally to it's standard all
of its cohorts.
II might also say that there have been
good many Democrats disgusted, as
Mr.. Hearst was in days gone by, at the
way the Democratic party conducted it.
self. Mr.. Hearst Is a strong man, and
his influence and example in thus re-
establishing himself as a Democrat will
do a great deal of good"
Representative Albert s. Burleson, of
Texas:
81 am very gratihed to see that Mr..
Hearst has returned to the party. He is
highly influential factor in New York
State politics, and his action will mean
thousands and thousands of votes to the
ticket he is supporting in New York now,
as we'll as a good effect so far as the
national elections are concerned"
The Washington herald., 1911-10-21
The Campaign in New York.

The local campaign in New York
City is assuming an interesting phase
With the notification of the Levy cleo
ton law, the fusionists have an oppor-
tunity to defeat Tammany, provided
they can secure a majority at the polls
and the vote is then fairly counted
Consequently, they are working with
tremendous zeal.
Mr.. Hearst, who has thrown himself
into the fight with intense enthusiasm,
announces his return to the Democratic
party. He has registered as a Demo
crat, is speaking as a Democrat, and
as a Democrat he is going to fight.
The commendable course of the ma
tional Democracy" he says, ''has
brought me back to the fold" Mr..
Hearst demonstrated long ago that he
is no small factor in New York politics,
and this year, with an excellent ticket
nominated by the fusionists, and with
the New York voters confronted by an
ministration and increased taxes, he be-
lieves that Tammany can be overthrown.
There is no doubt that the fusion
ticket is we'll chosen. John J. Hopper,
candidate for sheriff, was State chair
man of the Independence League and
successfully overthrew the Levy law. OF
the candidates for justices of the Su-
preme Court, Mr.. Shearn is a prominent
member of the bar and conducted the
legal assaults upon many trusts, while
Mr.. Scott, Mr.. Ottinger, and Mr..
Mathewson are all honest and able men,
with admirable records. The candidate
for surrogate, Mr. Baldwin, has long
been identified with the movement for
a better city government The ticket
IS nonpartisan and was framed with the
express purpose of appealing to the in
dependent element in all parties.
Whether Tammany, strongly in.
trenched, can be displaced as the result
of brief campaign is, of course, an
other question. If, however, the fu-
sionists shall be successful they should
learn lesson from the experience of
the last anti-Tammany victory While
they viii not control the city admins
tration, they will be in position to DEM
onstrate that they are not mere theorists
in government 1t will be remembered
that Tammany was returned to power
because the people actually believed that
corrupt government was better than

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
BY A. w. MACY.
IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
In 1895 a man named Miller
was incarcerated in Queens pris-
on, London. for a debt which II is
doubtful IL he ever owed. For
ty-seven years afterward he was
still there. being at that time
seventy-six years old In the
debtors prison at Sheffield. John
Howard found a cutler working
at his trade who had been i'm
prisoned for 80 cents. The costs
of his trial were about s., and
this sum he had been for several
years trying TO earn in prison.
He was confined in the same de-
partment with thieves and muir
derers. Imprisonment for debt
was abolished in England in 1869,
except in certain cases of default,
&c. It was abolished in Ireland
in 1872; in Scotland in 1880: in
France in 1867: in Belgium in
1871: in Italy in 1871, and in
Switzerland and Norway in 1874.
There is now practically no such
thing as imprisonment for debt
in the United States.
