THE TRUE TASK OF WOMAN

Pierre Lott, the famous French naval
officer, author and playwright, whose
writings Lacfcadio Hearn admired and
translated with such consummate skill,
on whose book, Madame Chrysan-
theme, the opera Madame Butterfly, -
was founded, and who has just collob-
Grated in play to be produced in New
York, recently told an interviewer that
he did not believe in the modern idea
of enfranchising woman.
-Four walls" he said, ought to en-
close, the home to limit, the activities
of woman. They were happier when
their interests were concentrated here;
the home itself was sweeter. In rend
ing the veil of mystery that hereto
fore has enclosed her, to bear part in
public affairs, woman has surrendered
the secret Of her greatest charm"

House of the Dalai Lama.

The Dalai Lama's late temporary
residence at Kallmpong, the Bhutan
Durhar house, is now occupied by
Raja Ujen Dorjee's sister, the Kazini
Waugmola. The Lamas three rooms,
the audience chamber, sitting room
and bedroom, are just as he left them.
Hundreds of butter lamps lie about
on tables and mantel shelves and. the
windows being closed, the smell of
rancid butter is sickening A large
shrine is being erected in the Lamas
bedroom. This room will thus be-
come a kind of holy of holfes in the
estimation of the northern Buddhists
The dais in the audience chamber is
beautifully painted in Tibetan fash
ion, with a gorgeous colored silk can
opy overhead
Cclored Chinese silk cancpies were
also hung above his bed and couch.
There vas also some fine European
furniture in all the rooms. The name
Of each room was written on the Intel
outside in bold cursive Tibetan char.

THE SUMTER COUNTY JAIL

1t should be matter Of regret to
every citizen of Sumter county that
the county Jail has been allowed to
fall into such bad condition as the
report of the recent grand jury shows.
In fact, the condition of the Jail has
long since been truly shown by the
escape of prisoners.
Only great negligence on the part Of
those who are directly responsible for
appropriating money for these expen-
ditures is the cause of this state of af-
fairs. The Jail should have been re-
paired long ago The fact that such
has not been the case is merely an in
dication of gross carelessness and
negligence
Several times has the county jailer
requested the repairs which he knew
we're needed. These requests have been
disregarded, and the escape of about
seventeen prisoners has been the di-
rect result of the wretched conditions
that now exist. These escapes could
have been prevented in either of two
ways. by an early and complete reno
walton of the prison or by the main
tenance of an additional watch when It
became known that the escape of
prisoners in this wav was rendered
probable. Certainly it is not the jail
er's fault, as no one could have made
prisoners secure under such condi-
tons, especially when it had become
generally known among the prisoners
that the iail was insecure, fact which
was readily manifest upon examination
anyway
So the declaration by the county
commissioners that the Jail will be
speedily repaired and made secure
brings with it a feeling of satisfaction
to all concerned. II is hoped that this
work will be done as quickly as pos
sible and as thoroughly and as perm
anently as may be done under the cir
cumstances. The Jail has been too long
2 mere plavthing in the hands of
criminals, who have escaped from the
building almost at will The big bull
dog in the back yard has probably
been a greater deterrent agency in
some particulars than the building it
self, as it is pretty certain that the
dog kept two prisoners from reaching
the open who had already escaped
from the prison. But these conditions
are to be remedied and corrected
speedily This is the intention of the
county commissioners, and in this
project thew will have the sympathetic
support of all the law-abiding citizens
of the county,

40 PEACE PRIZE THIS YEAR
Washington Post.)

The advocates of a powerful navy
and a large army in the United States
could find no more potent argument
than in the single announc ement from
Christiania that the Nobel peace prize
will not be awarded this year For the
first time since the establishment of
the Nobel Foundation the committee
of the Norwegian parliament can find
no person worthy of the award 1t is
quite evident that, despite the theo-
rists, the millennium is not yet at
hand Indeed, the outlook for peace in
the world in the last month of the year
1912 is not a cheerful one. There are
wars and rumors of wars in every part
of the globe
Our own boosted preference for ar
bitration rather than the sword may
be put to a severe test. Can there be
any doubt that the American people
will refuse t. submit to The Hague 4
matter touching the national honor Sc
closely does the question of manag-
ing our own canal which We have
bought, paid for, and built in our own
way? Perhaps the Nobel prize in 1913
this problem.
In Mexico the Madero government
is still in hot water, and the revolu-
ton continues with diminished fame,
but still burning fiercely enough to
threaten the peace of the western
hemisphere. In Europe the war clouds
are dark and threatening, one conflict,
among the bloodiest in modern history,
terminating as even greater one looms
sullenly on the horizon China, be-
ginning new epoch as republic, adj
vancing upon program which may
embrOil all Asia.
Out of existing conditions may well
come a situation calling for a peace
maker who shall win international
fame and the plaudits of the world.
Meanwhile Secretary Meyer and Gen.
Wood have stated plainly to the ma
ton what the United States should dc
by way of preparation for what may
await us behind the curtain of the flu
turc. This has certainly been bad
year for the dove of peace. Is the
present good time to stop building
battleships and strengthening the
army?
