Very many men attain wide rep
utation within the male circle OF
their acquaintances of being good
fellows" when the men themselves
know it is undeserved and that the
term bad fellows" would more near
ly suit the case.

The mistletoe, with its many pret-

wolf in sleeps clothing, whole for

venerated evergreen and it will no

demonstrations at Yuletide.

Dehs Predicts Failure.

Terre Haute, Ind, Nov. 7.-Eu-
gene V. Debs, socialist candidate for
president, issued today the following
reviewing the result:
"The outcome of the election is,
fortunately, so decisive as to place
the democrats in complete control OF
the government. After March 4
there can be no lodging of responsi-
bility.
THAT the democratic administra-
tion will be a flat failure goes with
out saying If radical tariff revision
or legislation in the interest of the
working class is attempted the big
interests will be heard from in a way
to make the democratic statesmen
hesitate. If such an attempt is per-
sisted in, which is unlikely, the in
terests will prec 'pitate panic which
will paralyze the country and will
utterly discredit the democrats.
Wilson will find himself face to
face with situation utterly beyond
the power of any mortal to control. -

The Truth About LAWSON and The Green River Job

Backers of Nicholas Lawson for commissioner
of light and water over Hamilton f.. Gronen are
claiming that because Lawson was recalled the city
lost 100000 in extra charges on the Green River
job.
Records at the city hall show conclusively that
large measure of the extra cost of the water sys-
TEN is due to the mistakes and Encouragement OF
Lawson in planning it.
This isn't political argument. It's solely a
statement of facts for the guidance of voters.
The city's light and water plants are vitaly inn
portant to the people, and the man who controls
them should be chosen carefully.
Here's Lawson's record on the Green River job

water, anywhere from "a hours
to six monthsl All other forms of
punishment tending to humiliate
a man and rob him of his self
respect were set aside and the
honor" system established.
And what the the results of
these revolutionary practices?
Instead of constant trouble, re-
bellion and disorder, with the men
disposed to take advantage,
shirk their work, and cause dis
sension, the exact opposite obtains.
The prison almost regulates itself.
Good will rules. 81.
The men are not only quick to
help themselves, but suggestions
come in for the public benefit. For
example. Waller Meyers, 1ifer, In

proved kind of sugar-cane and
make molasses enough o supply

BY JUDSON KING.

On the night of March 23 l
slep in the Arizona state prison at
Florence, locked in cell No. As
with a convict. On the tier be-
low me was Governor Hunt, sleep
ing In cell No. "a with felon for
company.
My bunk was first cousin to a
board plank. l awoke about four
in the morning with an individual
ache in every bone. Just enough
ngh came in from the corridor to
see the steel bars and walls of the
cage. Joe, my cell mate, slept
peacefully; he was used to it. The
night-cries, snoring and restless
turnings of my numerous neigh
bors were not pleasant. / heard a
sob and later the yell of some man
In a nightmare. 1t was creepy.
Why was the governor there?
To get vivid idea of what
prison life is like. To prepare
himself to better direct the penal
reforms he is instituting.
He slept with an inmate, got up
with the whistle at six, marched
In line, ate his portion of oatmeal,
bread. molasses, beans and coffee
out of tin dishes, with a pewter
spoon. observed the rule of mo
talking" and then spent the da.5
among the men.
On leaving he remarked, 81 feel
better every time l come over
here and what is more, he left
265 men behind him who also
felt better" because they knew
the significance of his visit.
Governor Hunt is ending a pub
lie disgrace, Under Governor
Sloan. recently appointed federal
Judge for Arizona by President
Taft, the inmates were "governed"
according to the most ancient, &C
cepted, safe and sane methods of
discipline" They were duly i'm

were conyicts, and were ruled
through force, fear, humiliation
and starvation. The place was q
