NO PLACE LIKE HOME.

"A keen observer of business conditions
is authority for the statement that nearly
cry moderate sized town and village
in the southern states actually needs hous-
-es to quarter its people. The boom in far
distant land schemes, now on the wane,
has taken money away from home, the
westpa investing in the east and easterner
in the west There is lure about things
distant that the average man finds it hard
to resist Distance lends enchantment,
especially when properly played up by the
skillful advertising writer working for an
ingenious land promoter
No one can deny the wisdom of land
investments when the investor buys lapd
for home for cultivation and actual
development. But much Of the money
placed in circulation by land schem b dur
ing the last two or three years has gone
into proAerty which the buyers knew
nothing about beyond what he read in a
prospectus. This sort of investment, as
rule, is gone forever and thu expert
ence is expensive.
Now that the land man has harvested
his crop it is time for every community
to get back to first principle, to develop
the home place to build houses and i'm
prove the farms and promote the welfare
of the home community.
To do all this there will be no better
time than thu present. Money Is plen-
tiful. Invested in home it cannot get
away. Put into farm Improvements it
will return dividends. Truly, there is
no place like home when it comes to lay
ing by safely the savings that are to
provide far a rainy day. Every mova
that tends to make the home community
better is a move in the right direction

INDRIDULAISM
AND ISM

Let US differentiate. individuality il
not individualism. Individuality will
stamp itself upon the common effort. In
dividualism kaeps aloof from the common
purpose. One is force: the ether an Oh
structor of force. One is unit of enei gy !,
the other is-well, to be deplored.
Combination is the Interchangeable law

ments in combination to form the air we
breathe. the earth from which we draw
our daily bread The bear sleeping his
torpid sleep in winter, and preparing a
lonely way for anoth r winters topper.
is a perfect example of individualism.
No combination there to improve his own
condition by enhancing the common good
The tortoise got there in. way, but how?
BY getting sleeping hare. Not much to
his credit to beat dead ont.
No great enterprise was ever put ofloat,
of kept afloat, save by combination of
energy. brains and capital. 1t takes 80, :
900 men working together TO run great
railroad system. Sidney Smith said !:
If the A MS were unanimous they would
| pull me out of bed.
The KEY to the greatest community suc-
cess is the combination and assertion OF
| the DYNAMIC force of individuality and the
suppression of individualism. Work for
the common good This is not altruism
it is common sense. No matter how
succ sful man may be, he is not doing
the best for himself if he is only working
for himself. The more he can make
the other fellow make, the more he stands
to make out of the other fellow. You cans
make mons where there is none. Nc
sentiment in this.
Assume that by joint effort 100 farmers
are secured as settlers in Yazoo County
Suppose each settler produces from the
soil $500 a year. There will be $4,000
spent for hardware, groceries, dry goods,
etc., distributed among the merchants,
| The cotton men will have more cotton to
buy. Some of the incomers will need
lawyers; some doctors. and it is bare
possibility that some may dir. and there is
where the undertakers come in. There is
no class of trade which will not be bene-
fitted. Now, 100 farmers, and many
more. NAV be gotten by concerted effort,
it will take a long time for any individual
activity to secure one-tenth of that num-
Der The same thing applies to the in
Auencing of the planting of manufactur-
ing industries. Ten men by combined
effort will secure greater results than 100
men by individual effort.
Then let US go together. cit us for
sake the she'll of individualism. The
carapace of the tortoise is snug and suf-
fcient cover, but it is the cover of sloth
and atemptation to lethargy. Then let
us abandon the she'll of individualism; get
together and HUSTLE.

PRISON REFORM.

That prisoners, though convicted of
crime, are human beings and have a right
TO human treatm VT in the penitentiaries
is idea that we are glad to see steadily
gaining ground. Under the old system
man convicted of breaking the law was
considered to have forfeited all his rights
at the hands of his keepers that any good
in him was crushed out and his criminal
tendencies irrevocably confirmed.
recent editorial in the Commercial
Appeal has the following about prison
reform:
1t is reformation not punishment that
our moral and legal delinquents require
This is the view that Warden Meyer of
the Atlanticm federal prison takes of the
,cvriminal situation in this country. In
this he is right. That law requires that
a man who violates the statutes of the
country must suffer punishment for doing
So This cannot be evaded. The guilty
must suffer.
In inflicting punishment it can be so
managed that it becomes a system of re-
formation instead of the drastic punish
ment dealt out in the past
Prison reform is an issue that is arous-
ING all countries. In heav VI angels re-
ioice over the salvation of a soul. On
earth men seem to glory in conviction.
There are some criminals who have al
most ceased to be men. They are social
society that they must be closely con-
fined For such men there is little hope.
There are others who become criminals
through the stress of circumstances,
through weakness through misfortune or
evil association. They are not naturally
criminals al heart.
They can be made So through criminal
environment, but why not save them in
stead?
This is the logic of Warden Meyer and
therefore he should BIZ heard.
More humanitarian methods in the
treatment Of prisoners in the federal pen
itentiary are to be inaugurated as the
result of his earnest efforts. Reforma-
ton rather than punishment is the cen
trail idea of the warden's plans. If Sue
cessful in Atlanta other similar institu-
tons will quickly follow the example.
Recreation and educational opportuni-
ties will be given all prisoners of good
conduct in hope Of relieving the burden
of prison life.
Some men become legal offenders
through ignorance. When they serve
their sentence they will leave prison with
an educg.ioa to their credit which might
never otherwise be gained. They will
know the difference between right and
wrong and education will opm their eyes
to the great possibilities of life.
The prison library will be enlarged
and there will be schools of trades and
sciences. and there will be the elementary
school for illiterates. The teachers will
be selected from among the prisoners.
Open air concerts, by thu prison band
and games of baseball between prison
teams will have tendency to create
healthy growth of mind and body.
TIE plan Of Warden Meyer seems
wise one and should ba encouraged.
