ALDEN HELPS REMOVE HIS
DISEASED APPENDIX

San Francisco, Feb. 20.-Dr. Ber
tram F. Alden, chief surgeon of the
French hospital here, carried out in
part last Sunday his theory that self
operations for appendicitis are not
impossible On diagnosing his symp-
toms, DR.. Alden called in his skeptic-
al professional friends as witnesses,
in the operating room he injected the
spinal anaesthesia which left his
mind clear and gave him control OF
his arms. He made the necessary
abdominal cuts, but at this point the
matter was deemed too serious for ex-
pertinent and two fellow surgeons
completed the operation, removing the
appendix while DIR. Alden remained an
interested witness of their manipula
tions DR.. Alden is reported to be re-
covering rapidly.

CLEOFES ROMERO

/. DENsHIP OF STATES BIG
PENAL INSTITUTION.

Cleofes Romero after two years of
service as warden of the New Mexico
penitentiary, has turned over the
keys of that institution to his sue
cessor, ]. B. McManus or Albuquerque
and has returned to his home in Las
Vegas. Mr. Romero received his ap.
pointment as warden in the spring OF
1910, shortly after the appointment
of William ]. Mills as governor. His
record as head of the institution has
been one of which he may well be
proud. In the two years during Mr..
Romero's rule the penitentiary has
been well managed and now ranks as
one of the best penal institutions in
the west.
From the start Mr., Romero won the
respect of the prisoners, and was one
of the most popular men ever at the
head of the institution Mr.. Romero's
way of doing things brought results

Several reforms in prison methods,
were instituted at Mr. Romero's direc-
ton and all have been tried with sue
cess. One of Mr.. Romeros latest re-
forms was the honorary system in the
convict road camps which has been
unusually successful. With the var
ious changes in prison rule there has
been decided increase IN the eff
cheney of the different departments,
and Mr. Romero's term of office will
go down on record as one OF the most
successful in the history OF the state.
While the number of prisoners in
creased there was no increase in ap-
preparations, but Mr.. --omero. by care

that goal could be reached. He will
spend much of his Arne on his ranch

THE PEOPLES MONEY WASTED
THAT is ONE OF THE REASONS
PoPULAcE CALLS FOR RECALL
AND OTHER NosTRUMs

Frankfort, Kentucky, Feb. 2O.-Gov
ernor Judson Harmon Of Ohio today
warned the Kentucky state legisla.
lture and all public office holders to
analyze their own records and see
how far they were responsible for the
unrest which he said was making a
demand for innovations in govern
ment generally. Governor Harmon
spoke briefly in answer to a recent
invitation of the Legislature. He said
in part,
Whatever we may think of the
innovations in government we are
hearing so much about, it behooves
every one who holds a public posi-
ton to make dilgent self-search to
find whether any shortcoming on his
part figures in the unrest the pro-
posal of these changes signifies.
While some doubtless advocate them
for otherreasons. the greater num-
Der would not lend an ear without
some real or supposed ground for
diseoRtsnt with pubIie aseneies as
they are. NJ
Direct legislation is aimed at the
lawmakers as body and the recall
at the individual members as well as
at executive officers and judges. And
it may fairly be said that the sup
port these devices receive varies
with the real or supposed need of
them, as we'll as with opinions about
the balance of advantage in them"
Closing Governor Harmon said
'I believe the reform most sorely
needed now is in administration, bet
ter results at less expense.
'It ought not to cost a billion dol
lars a year, or over $11 for each man,
woman and child in the country to
maintain the federal government with
its limited functions
True, these are times of private
extravaganza, but that is no excuse
for public extravaganza. Everybody
may spend his own money as he
pleases but public officials spend
other peoples money, much of it con-
tributed under hardship and all of it
for purposes which make it sacred
for every patriot.
Federal expenses bear more heavi-
ly on the people than state and local
expenses, because the latter are rails
ed by taxes on property only, while
the former are chiefly raised by the
tariff on articles consumed.
I'VE need other reforms, too, but
this would bring quicker, greater and
more general relief than any others.
And reduction of the tariff with care
and economy in public expenditures,
which go hand in hand, are ready
means to secure it,"
