The American Magazine For July.

Unusyal Interest aetion and strong
feature articles contest for preSemin-
ence iu the Jhly number oT the
American magazine. There is a story
of rare fascination by Willbm u,
Locke. an out of the ordinary ghost
story by Samuel Hopkins Adams, and
a really extraordinary story by Edna
Ferber.
Julian Leavitt, in Something for
Nothing" tells how great manu-
facturer uses the convict labor Of FIVE
states, thereby saddling an annual eN-
pense of St0S.000 on the taxpayers.
"In the New Ideas in Child Train
ing" II. Addington Bruce tells of a
number of youthful prodigies among
the foremost American families; a
boy who learned his alphabet at two,
one who wrote plays in Esperanto at
nine, n tot Of three who operated a
typewriter intelligently and boy who
was graduated from college at four
teen.
Hugh Fullerton. i'm Between
Games" gives an intimate view Of
the ball player off the field and Al
bert j. Mock In "Why Natures Way
Is Best" points out the advantages of
raising revenue by taxing only those
things that do not encourage industry
and development.
The regular departments: 'The In
terpreter's House." Interesting Peo-
ple" and THE Pilgrims Scrip are,
as usual. full of helpful Information
and interest.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.
How Great Manufactory Gets Its
Goods Made In > States by Con-
NiCts Who Are Made to Work

for 80 Cents nay.
In the July American Magazine
there is an article by Julian Leavitt
which ought TO create a disturbance
In a good cause in at least five states.
1t is the story of how great chair
manufacturing concern the Ford
Johnson co. of Cincinnati, has been
getting its goods manufactured In our
prisons at an average wage OF "a
cents day for convict labor. Boss
Cox of Cincinnati is Interested In the
concern. Indeed. until within year,
he was president Of II.
The wage which has been paid for
this labor, an average OF "a cents a
day. does not pay anywhere near the
cost TO the state of feeding. housing
and caring FOR the prisoners who spend
their time making chairs for this pri-
vatc concern at the price named. In
i've states. where this has been going
on, taxpayers meet total loss of
S1OS, 900 year. That Is, $1OS.000 is
the difference between what the states
receive for the labor of the cunvicts
SO employed. and what IT costs the
states to take care OF them. The states
are: Indiana. Kentucky, Illinois, Wis
consin and Connecticut. There is no
doubt. however, that prison contracts
In many other states need a searching
investigation.
II is understood that the facts about
the Ford-Johnson prison contracts
will be news to everybody, even to
competitors of the Ford-Johnson Co,
which have to pay from $3.50 to $500
day for labor as against the -
cents dag paid for the work 90 . 900
convicts.

Threat to Sing Duet Wins Judgment

excerpts from Ten Nights in a Bar

eide without further argument.
Murdoch and PanacOast stated their
willingness to submit the case without
argument, but before doing SO thew
wanted permission to sing a duet. A
settlement was reached by conference
and a substantial judgment agreed
upon in favor of the plaintiff.
Murphy one year ago won an i'm
portant suit by singing to the Jury
after he had completed his argument
He sang a few stanzas Of a familiar
old song. Without leaving the box
the jury returned a verdict for his
client. Opposing attorneys appealed,
alleging that Murphy in singing went
outside the record, that his conduct
was improper and that having a fine
nd well-trained voice, he took undue
Vantage of counsel on the other
ie. The Supreme court held with
Murphy, deciding that an attorney
could talk or sing his arguments to
the jury and that there was no statute
against such proceedings.

D PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The recent
1 raids on opium smugglers made
In New York and other cities by fed
eral officers are preliminary to a ma
tion-wide crusade by the authorities
in Washington to check the ravages
Of the opium habit.
Government statistics reveal that
more opium is consumed in this coun-
try per capita than In China. -Four
hundred thousand pounds Of crude
opium are imported annually and the
raids show that vast quantities are
smuggled. The population of the
United States is 91,000,0O0. The an.
nual consumption of opium IN China
in all forms is 100000 pounds.
China's population is more than four
hundred million.
One Of the largest importers of
opium In the United States called the
attention Of the National Civic FEEDER.

evil. "The figures speak for them.

subject at a banquet Of druggists In

immigration, and he declares that
there are now certain factors working
against a continued increase.
In the first place, DR.. Laidlaw sees
a continuation in the decline in the
share Of New York in the foreign
commerce of the nation. In the last
thirty years It has fallen from 54.8 to
AIT. Canada is becoming an import
ant competitor and other American
ports are doing their best to overhaul
the metropolis. Providence, Boston,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and other
ports are formidable rivals The pro-
posed intercoastal canal, the develop
ment of the Mississippi, the compile
tion of the Panama Canal and the
favorable positions of cities to the
south of New York City to engage in
