SULTAN a MEDIATIzED RULER


On March 80, France inaugurated a
change in her political dealings with
Morocco, by the signing of a treaty
with the Sultan, Mulia-Abd-el.Hafd
establishing a French protectorate
France has had much experience In
the government Of the North African
countries. which line the Mediterran-
can from Tripoli to the Atlantic ocean,
and the decision to leave the govern
ment nominally in native hands is a
wise one. 1t is evidently based on the
success of her peaceful conquest of
Tunis where the externals of Arab
rule have been preserved In. Algeria.
on the other hand, where the admin
istration is directly and openly
French, her domination aroused the
bitter jealousy and hostility of the
natives who saw in the elimination Of
their native rulers a threatened sub

GOV. WEST TRUSTS coNWcTs

THE only honor lacking in the aver
age criminal Is that which is wrenched
from him by incivility, distrust and
inhumanity. Extend to a convict the
courtesy, confidence and trust due him
as a man and he will respond with
more honor than the average person
who has never seen the bars, the dun
geon or the dismal gray walls of
penitentiary"
Basing his action on this bit of
philosophy, Gov. Oswald West of Ore
gon recently threw open the barred
doors of the Oregon state penitentiary
and turned more than 200 convicts out
into the inviting forests and fields to
serve the remainder of their terms
without guards, stripes, chains or
stockades.
With one sweep the dungeon, the
dark cell, the striped suits, the ball
and chain and the gallows were wiped
out as unnecessary parts of the insti-
tuition and in their stead was estab-
lished a unique and revolutionary

USING x-RAY ON PRINCESS
Suspicious Of British Museums Off
cials Regarding Egyptian Mummy
Are AiIayed.

A distinguished scientist attached to
one of the government bureaus at
Washington suggests that there may be
such thing as using the X-rays too
much and too often, especially, he
contends, when the rays are made
the medium to pry into the antece-
dents of young woman of royal linz
cage, resting for the moment under
unjust suspicious.
Every one knows that spurious
mummies have been planned of upon
| the public. Recently doubt arose
In a London museum as to the validit,
of one daughter of the Pharaohs IL
the collection. 1t occurred to the
museum officials that, in view of the
general hoiTowness OF life, the young
woman In question might have been
manufactured in some up-to-date town.
| So the officials at once turned the Ro-
entgen rays upon her, with the re-
suit that they Immediately perceived
through her many-folded wraps the am
|ulets which the Egyptians placed upon
the bosoms of their dead. So the sus-
picions OF the museum officials were
allayed. One of them remarked: st
does seem little hard that after the
lapse of several thousands of years

ture."

An Early insurance Scheme.

A very early scheme Of insurance

Mr. lakewood summarizes the scheme
in his Good Old Times" Every la
borer between the ages Of twenty and
thirty years." he notes, earning l0d
day should contribute to a national
fund I'd a week, and every woman
earning e3 a year l I'D weekly, and
when sick or disabled should receive
benefit at the rate of as week, with
is week added for.each child. There
We're, of course, many other detaif>.
but the chief interest lies In the fact
that this was perhaps the earliest pro-
posal for the national insurance OF the
laborer against invalidity."
