in the statements as to the health
/. Ifulness of the Workhouse at Green
bank, Delaware, as a prison, ther'
can be no question. From a very
:, casual inspection of that institu
I ton we believe that il is con
Quoted along lines similar to Other
prisons Of similar character, and
that the men who are managing its
0 affairs are working for the interest
of economy. We have never felt
much pride in the statements which
have been given out from time to
time, OF the low cost Of meals served
to the prisoners at that institution,
and we believe that this very low
cost has in a great measure had
much to do with the present re-
putation which the workhouse has
as to its effect upon the general
health of the prisoners. Prisoners
are not unlike others of the human
race, so far as nourishment of the
body requires, and the statements
that an average cost Of nine cents
per day, or was it a meal, does not
lend much enthusiasm as TO the |
tissue building capacity Of the food |
served there. We know from per-
sonal observation of those who
have served terms Of imprisonment
in the wOrkhouse, that they have
left that institution in physical con-
ditiOn much worse then when they
entered its portals, and in several
instances in Milford and Dover re-
turned prisoners have been COM
PEELED to 60 TO hospitals to have
operations performed and tubercu- (
Iosis glands removed. Prisons are
to be reformatories, and the
people are asking many questions

HERE are some concrete facts
which it will be well for the people
of Delaware to consider and FIX in
their minds, as they will have to be
recognized as the basis from which
must come the good roads and
public highways of the immediate
future. Ina recent article the Press
commented upon theproposition to
build seven great highways by
National authority, and these roads
were to radiate like spokes of
wheel from Washington. This idea
it characterized as a dream but the
important part Of its comments fol-
lowed, and we quote the article be-
low:
There can be no real expectation
or even hope that Congress will
ever entertain such a scheme under
present conditions. No one can be
certain about the future, however,
and as it is conceivable that the ma
ton may embark in the business of
road building some time the dream |
ers who are ahead of their time and |
perhaps of all time make haste to
get their plans on record. These
plans are in the nature of seeds
which the sewers hope may sprout
and take root and bear fruit here
after.
The great practical objection to
the several propositions for Federal
road building is that they create an
expectation that the Federal Gov
ernment will take up this work and
this faith robs movements for State
action Of energy. Propositions for
Government road building are very
popular in some of the Southern
States which need improved roads
greatly but are indispOsed to tax
to secure them. If the
Federal Government ever returns n
to the business of building public
it will not be for a long t
lime to come and those State and n
ocalities which wait for Federal
-oads will lag woefully behind. +
It is the States that are willingi
o put up their own money and al
improve their roads themselves that o.
ire getting modern highways and oi
orging ahead. Such roads in
rease the value of real estate in a in
tate, making farm lands more
by decreasing the ex- ar
ense and shortening the time of
citing agricultural produce to an
larket. They make the State n'
lore attractive, keep people in it NJ
nd bring people to it. Those States
hich secure a complete system of IN
approved highways before their y
sighbors will gain population and toi
ealth faster than their neighbors
i'd in part at their less favored
,ighbors' expense. Waiting for
e Federal Government to do this t-ss
1rk means to wait indefinitely and the
rhaps wait forever. Senator

GOVERNMENT ISSUES
TYPOGRAPHICAL MAPS
Typographical Maps of This Quad
rangle Now Available-Repre-
sent Most Complete Survey
Ever Made of State.

The engraving of the new govern
rangle has just been completed by
the United State Geological Survey at
Washington, and the map is available
for distribution. This map repre-
sents by far the most complete sur
vey ever made of this section of the
state. 1t shows SO clearly every fea-
ture of the country covered that the
character of any part of the quad
rangle, as we'll as the shapes and
areas of the hills and valleys, can be
seen at a glance. The elevation of
any particular point in the entire area
can be easily determined This relief
of the country is graphically shown
by means of brown contour lines,
Zach of which represents a certain
elevation above the sea--that is, the
traveller following the course shown
by one of these contour lines will go
neither up hill nor down hill, but on
a level. The elevation indicated by
every fifth line is shown by figures
on the map, and it is interesting to
determine the heights of different
points, by simply counting the con-
tours up or down from one of the
marked lines. 1t is easy to under
stand how such a map is of prime
value to the engineer who may be
laying out railroad or a trolley
route, a highway, a drainage or irri-
cation system-in fact, any piece of
engineering work. The water fea-
lures of the quadrangle-str
lakes, etc, are shown in blue, with
the same eXactness of outline as the
lan1 features. In addition to the to-
biography, the map shows, in black,

w. 9. Morris, of Spokesman-Review,
TO Give illustrated Talk.
Admission Free-Auspices of TWEEN
tieth Century Club.

About the first thing we do on
taking up the Spokesman-Reyiew is
to look at the cartoon by Mr.. w. c..
Morris. Many of us, after compar-
ing the work of Mr.. Morris with that
of other cartoonists are convinced
that the man who has made the
SpOkesman-Review famous is not
only the greatest cortoonist in the
Northwest but one of the best in the
United States. Mr.. Morris has an
interesting career, and his life illu-
strates what men of determination
and ability may do. He was born in
Salt Lake City, in 1874. He did
not have the opportunities of a col
lege education which many of us en-
joy, and yet by study and reading
Mr.. Morris has made himself the Gull
tured man he is. From a very early
period he had to begin working for
his living. At times he clerked
in grocery store, acted as book
agent sold insurance policies, was a
sign writer house painter, reporter
advertising man, teamster, gold
miner, etc. Eut through it all he
kept his art in view and finally sue

Spokesman Review Cartoonist will

ceeded in getting a place on the
Spokesman-Reyiew, which paper he
has helped to make and the paper in
return has done much for him.
Mr.. Morris will appear under the
auspices of the Twentieth Century
Club, on Saturday, April /, at 8; is p.
m. in the auditorium, and will give
an illustrated talk on The Cartoon
list and His Work" A day or two
preceding his talk there will be an
exhibition of Mr.. Morris drawings in
one of the rooms of the college.
Just as in the case OF Henry
George, Jr., there will be no admis-
sion, and for the same reason-that
no one who is poor should be de-
prived of benefitting by such rare
opportunities. The club, however
would appreciate if those of the fac
ulty, students, and citizens of Pull
man who can afford it would con-
tribute toward paying the expenses
of these meetings. If you can not
give so cents, give 25 or ten. 1t is
not so much your money that the
club desires as your encouragement,
and approval, The club is planning
an extensive program for next year
and would appreciate encouragem ent
from the college people and citizens.

pay the railroad fare of four and will
pay the local expenses of the entire

governing this will be the same as in
former years, copies of which will
be mailed at an early date. The

The Faculty committee has found
in past years that the work connec-
ted with the meet was so great that
they needed help and so they have
asked the executive committee of the
Students Assembly to appoint five
members of the student body to help
with the meet and the following men
have been appointed. On advertis-

Prof. Thompson, Pat Crane. On

Washington and Northern Idaho.
The committee is working industri-
ously on the plans of the meet and
have every reason to believe that
this will be the best meet of the
series since the custom was started
light years ago.
Some time ago letters were sent
to the accredited high schools asking
them whether or not they desired the
meet to be continued and they were
unanimous in their affirmative reply.
In the last few days letters have been
sent to about thirty-five schools in
wiling them to take part in the meet
The following letter will explain the
conditions imposed upon the high
schools and will give an idea of the
scope of the meet this year.

JULY COTTON
SIXTEEN CENTS
NEW YORK BULL TRADERS ARE
ASSISTED IN MARKET BY DRY
WEATHER.

New York, May 1S.-Sixteen-cent
cotton became a reality today, when
the July option sold at 16.05c after
the call.
There was unusual activity at the
outset and all options were consid-
erably higher, ranging from points
on August to 10 on November. Not
only did the bulls appear to domi-
nate the old crop, but their influ-
ence was plainly visible in the new
positions.
The buying of new crops was as
sisted by a dry weather map. After
the call the room sold rather freely.
and this checked the rise, forcing
prices down a few points.

RACY FOR HIGH PRICES.
FIRST OF SEVERAL PLANNED
Government Charges Also Conspiracy
to Blacklist Concerns Not Regard

Violation of Sherman Law.

New York, \. Y, May 19.-Sweep-
ing charges of a gigantic conspiracy
to maintain high prices, to blacklist
concerns not regarded as proper
trade and 10 violate generally the
Sherman antitrust law, are made in
the government suit filed by At
toney General Wickersham in the
United States court here today against
the so called lumber trust
Ten trade organizations and more
than one hundred and fifty individ-
uals are named as defendants in
this suit, which may be the first OF
several planned by the department
of justice, against combinations of
retailers in staple commodities and
the necessaries of life to prevent
the ultimate consumer from buying
anywhere except from local retailers.
Charged in brief that by an elabo-
rate system Of blacklisting not only
the individual consumers but some
of the largest industrial corporations
have been prevented from dealing
directly with the wholesalers. BY
unlawful agreements, it is charged,
that all competition for trade of
contractor and builder has been
thrown into the hands of the retail
ers. For the first time a trust suit
is filed after the manner of the
Standard Oil decision, in that "un-
reasonable restraint" of trade is al
legged. All of the defendants named
are IN the Atlantic states.

DEBATE BEGINS
ON STATEHOOD
REPUBLICANS APPROVE NEW
MEXICO CONSTITUTION, BUT OP-
POSE ARIZONA.

Washington, May 1S.-A new orator
appeared in the ranks of the republi-
can minority in congress today. I he
opening speech of the minority on the
Arizona-New Mexico statehood resolu-
ton, a distinction accorded to Repre-
sentative Frank b. Willis, a freshman
from Ohio, turned out to be a two
hours running fire repartee and fight
with the democratic leaders.
In supporting the the New Mexico
constitution as President Taft has ap-
proved it, Mr.. Willis drew the fire Of
Chairman Flood and half dozen
prominent democrats. He was armed
with "A mass of constitutions and or
sanic acts of the various states and
whenever new proposition was ad-
yanced, he would say:
I've got it right here while the
republican side cheered.
Republicans Oppose Arizona Idea.
The republican speakers condemned
the recall of judges in the Arizona
constitution and approved the plan to
force Arizona to vote again on that
feature, but they declared no change
should be made in the New Mexico
constitution. The statehood resolution
will be before the house until Tuesday.
Chairman Flood of the territories
committee secured an agreement to-
night to have all debate closed on the
measure on that day. Mr. Stedman of
North Carolina reported the resolution
today.
Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson,
Madison, Roosevelt would have been
victims of the recall had it been in
cluded in the constitution when they
were in the presidential chain, said
Representative Kahn of California in
speaking against the initiative, refer
rendum and recall in the Arizona con
stitution.
when Washington sent the Jay
treaty to the senate to be ratified, -
said Mr. Kahn, there was such an
outburst of disapproval on all sides
that within twenty-four hours there
after the necessary recall petitions
would have been signed by thousands
of electors in excess of the required
percentage.
Lincoln would have been put to
the task of defending his title as chief
executive of the republic if during the
dark days of 1862 the recall had been
one of the cardinal principles of the
federal constitution.
Does any one doubt that enough
signatures could have been procured in
the south for the recall of President
Roosevelt Immediately after he had
invited Booker T. Washington TO lunch
with him at the white house,"
