PRISONS.

A man who writes under the name
of Donald Lowrie" has recently is
sued book telling us his experiences
in San Quentin prison, California, a
place made rather notorious as the
enforced residence of Abe Ruef and
the McNamaras.
We believe the book should be
placed in the hands of every state
legislator and every prison commits
sioner. Packed to the brim with
facts, with no false whine Tor pity,
but often with the saving sense of
humor, it nevertheless constitutes a
tremendous indictment of our prison
systems and so-called civilization.
Penologists say prisons are main
tanned in order that men who commit
offenses against society may be made
to see the error of their ways and
come out of durance as future good
members of society. AS a matter of
fact, most of our present prisons
make beasts of the prisoners and
brutalize the keepers. They are poi
sonous in every way.
So long as we lock men into mar
row cells with practically no ventila-
tion and little cleanliness, so long
as we force them to eat food under
conditions that are disgusting, Sc
long as we permit punishments that
are savage, our boasted twentieth
century is not very far in advance OF
the tortures and prisons of the mid
die ages which we so love to call
dark"
The very beasts in the menageries
are treated better than most inmates
of state prisons. We will begin to
make men of offenders against the
law only when we begin to treat
them as men. If we continue to
treat them as savage beasts, they
will continue to issue from the grim
walls of our penitentiaries with a
raging desire to avenge themselves
upon society which has taught
them only the hostile spirit of the
laws vengeance.

ROOSEVELT AND WILSON AS
PUBLIC MEN.

Both Wilson and Roosevelt are re-
markably versed in the two kinds of
political knowledge. They know
about governments through vast his
torical study and reading, and they
know about political matters in their
working manifestations. Obviously,
Mr.. Roosevelt has had very much
more practical experience than DR..
Wilson. But they belong to the same
class. They would both of them be
great public men and leaders in Eng
land, or Canada, or France, or Ger
many, where public life is a career.
Woodrow Wilson, as writer and
speaker on political matters, has al
ways been before the American pub
lie. AS administrator, he has carried
on the affairs of great university, a
position which in our country trains
for governmental administration bet
ter than almost any other kind Of
experience. As governor of New Jer-
sey he has shown that he can meet
the exigehcies of practical politics
with firmness and upon high ground,
He has admirable qualities of person
ality that would make him most
worthy and welcome occupant of the
White House. The American people
like to have their political leaders
men of learning and culture. One of
the reasons why they are fond of
Roosevelt is the unceasing industry
he has. always shown in the pursuit
of many kinds of useful and interest
ing knowledge. Woodrow Wilson is
man with a zeal for what is right
in public matters. There is one great
test we should learn to apply to every
aspirant for public place in this coun-
try-namely, is the man public
minded, or is he predetermined?
And this is not so much quality of
character as it is quality of intel
lect. Wilson and Roosevelt are es-
sentially public men, They act upon
public questions for open, public
reasons. Their minds are trained to
work in that fashion. Others who
might be named are essentially pri-
gate-minded. These others have al
ways some personal, private reason
for public acts.

REPUBLICANS NATURALLY PRO-
GRESSIVE.

The reason why the progressive
party must of necessity be developed
principally out of the republican
party becomes apparent after a little
thought In the first place, the evo-
luton has already been accomplished
in a number of states. In the second
place, the democratic party is who'll
ly different kind of entity from it's
chief opponent. The republican party
has always been comparatively homo
geneous. The present split in the
party is temporary and transitional.
Fundamentally, the republican party
has always been progressive, but in
order to keep alive it is compelled
from time to time to accept new
views of what progress means and to
adapt itself to new conditions. 1t is
now in the process of a healthful
transformation from within. Pre-
cisely as it threw off machine domi-
nation in Pennsylvania few weeks
ago, so it has been struggling to
emancipate itself in many other
states. Whether it keeps the name
republican or not, the progressive
movement will be made up of men
who, like Roosevelt, have been the
leaders in the more radical wing of
the republican party.
The democratic party has some ele-
ments of unity but in the main it is
a coalition of groups. Its largest
factor is the solid south. Its second
factor in permanence is Tammany
Hall. It's third is the old-line democ-
racy represented by men like Gov
ernor Harmon of Ohio, and it's fourth
is the radical democracy represented
by men like Bryan and Hearst. The
democratic party finds its opportun-
ity not so much in its own shining
virtues as in the faults and failures
of the republican party. The i'm
mense democratic wave that struck
the country in 1910 was due to the
weakness and failure of the Taft ad
ministration and the action OF a re-
publican congress in passing the
PayneAldrich tariff. The recent
progressive movement in the republi-
can party, as led by Roosevelt, was
a confession of these mistakes.

The city waterworks department is
in better shape today than it has
been in the history of the city. 1t
has been thoroughly checked up dur
ing the past three months and more
than $1,000 per year has been added
TO the income, in finding service taps
that were not on the city books. AS
a rule this season of the year, when
irrigation demands are the heaviest
the pressure has been kept up to the
standard, an average of about lac
points in the lower city districts, and
with pressure enough for service on
the hills. AS a whole, the system
is in splendid working shape and Mr.
Hurt is to be congratulated for his
systematic work in getting these re-
suits.

WATER IN HIGH COST OF LIVING.

We all know that one of the big
gest items in the high cost of living
is railroad transportation charges.
Every time we drink a glass of milk
we cough up bit of change for some
railroad company's cash box. But
what would you say to getting your
milk in powder, weighing about 81
per cent less than the liquid milk?
You'd pay no freight on the water
Mrs. Moo-Cow put in it-in fact,
you'd add the water yourself when
you wanted your glass of milk.
Millions of dollars year could be
saved in freight charges alone if we
took the countless tons of plain wa
ter out of lot of the things we eat.
A start has been made by a Chi
cago concern which is drying out 81
per cent of the weight of milk. The
powder which results is at present
used only by bakeries
The department of agriculture in
a forthcoming publication is to pro-
claim its support of this plan of low
ering prices and has selected as an
example the immensely important
German industry of potato drying,
believing that conditions in this coun-
try are more than ordinarily favor
able for the rapid adoption of an
European eXpedient of economy.
Only 20 to 25 per cent of the po-
tato is solid matter and upon every
ton shipped the freight is paid upon
rs to so per cent water, and the
cost is borne by the farmer from his
profits and the consumer from an
already overtaXed pocketbook.
The optimism of the exponents of
the potato-drying industry is based
upon the fact that the same ma
chinery used for drying sugar beet
leaves and pulp can be employed at
other seasons for drying potatoes.
AS sugar-beet growing is already an
important industry in about sixteen
states, but little extra expense would
have to be incurred to test the prac-
ticability of this plan. Most of the
important beet sugar states are also
great potato-growing sections, and
the two industries can go hand in
hand, as they have in Germany,
where the great development Of the
beet sugar industry has led to a tre-
mendous development of potato
growing. 1t has been found, more
over, that the cultivation of sugar
'beets increases the yield of all other
crops grown in rotation with them,
this increase varying from 25 to so
per cent with different crops and
amounting to 46 per cent in the case
of potatoes.
The sugar beet itself is one of the
products to which this process of
economy through extraction of sur
plus water has been applied and a
business of 100000 year has
been built up in the past few years
in dried beet pulp for stock feeding.
Another advantage that will come
from the introduction of the drying
industry in connection with such a
crop as potatoes, as is pointed out by
the department of agriculture, is that
the present uncertainties of the crop
would be removed and both the pro-
ducer and consumer would be bene-
fitted. The grower would have a
more reliable market and the pres
ent wide fluctuations in prices would
be avoided.

THEN AND NOW.

Senator Joseph w. Bailey must
have many quiet laugh with him
self when he casts his mental vision
backward and thinks of the Joseph
Weldon Bailey who came from Texas
as the youngest member of the house
of representatives. That was the
Bailey who gained notoriety by his
refusal to bow to that aristocratic
custom which prescribes evening
clothes" for certain dinner occasions.
Mo- He represented the common
people; he would not demean himself
by encasing his body in a spiketailed
coat and mingling with aristocrats!
He came from Texas, where a man
was a man for a that. His heart
throbbed in unison with that of the
man in the checked shirt; and no So
ccial custom could induce him to go
beyond a frock coat, black SLOUGH,
and a white lawn tie! He scorned
the rich and denounced them fiercely
on the floor of the house. Trusts
were an abomination. Honest pow
erty was the keynote of great states
manship and the constitution was
glorified in its preamble and it's guar
antees of liberty to the individual!
At that time Bailey had not pene-
trated the inner mysteries of the
constitution, wherein are found pro-
lection for property as well as for
personal liberty. He had not gath
cred that vast respect for our judicial
system which now is the foundation
of his mentality. He had not en-
tered into secret correspondence
with Standard Oil or asked tempo
rary loans from the representatives
of the Waters-Pierce company. He
had not set up a stable of racing
horses. He had not become the open
champion of Lor inner and the de-
fender of Taft's policies. He did not
view so often with alarm; he did not
see an American edition of the
French revolution lurking behind the
next turn in the road; he did not
abound in solemn warnings against
the encroachments of the mob. He
was not so stout, not so rich, not so
sleek and well-fed as he is today.
He had that same baby stare and the
same ingenious tone in opening up
his argument; that same appeal to
the frankness and the fairness and
the candid impartiality of his hear
ers; but he had not received the final
brand and stamp of ownership which
he now bears. He was plausible and
was believed and was followed by a
large membership of his party and
was admired by others not of his
party. He played well his part and
by hypocrisy rarely equaled in
American public life he won for him
self riches and the confidence of the
great corporations which he now
goes from the senate to serve.
AS remarked by Senator William
Alden Smith, Bailey will be missed.
But it will be the corrupt and sinis
ter interests who have used him who
will miss him. He must serve then
now from the lobby and the Wal
street office, whereas before he ha'
served them from his seat.

1t is extremely unpleasant for a
sensitive woman who, before mar
riage, had been earning her own liv-
ing and had been accustomed to
spending her income as she pleased,
to ask a man for money to buy every
thing she needs, such as cotton, nee
dies, pins, etc. 1t seems to us no
more than right that man should
give his wife, for her own necessities,
at least half as much money as he
would a servant. She keeps his
house, provides for the comfort of
himself and children, not for hire,
but because she loves them, and she
cares for her husbands interests as
no hired housekeeper would, and is
she not entitled to pay for her ser
vices? Yet some men would think
it a hardship to pay a wife the
amount he would be obliged to pay
servant girl. There is many a
woman among the working clases
who would think herself highly ia
vored if she were sure of fifty cents
per week of her husbands wages to
spend as she pleased. The above
hints are for the husbands who need
them, and written in consideration of
their good wives.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen

Solomon did not set up one stand
ard for the girls, and another for the
boys. He says, Train up a child"
One child in the dear home nest is as
lovely to us as another, and yet there
are but few homes where the boys
are as tenderly shielded as the girls.
we are not quite as careful to watch
their daily formation of habits and
their conversation as we are that of
the "girlies." They are more exuber-
ant in spirit, and we send them out
of the house for the sake of quiet
after that the girls may practice their
music.
Says father of a small family to
us, My boys and girls do not leave
the dooryard after Z O'Clock unless
especially detained" We know of
others that adopted that same rule
years ago and their sons and daugh-
ters are today a credit to the town
and community. There is nothing
elevating in street education.
Plan ont your life on a big scale,
whether you are farmers daughter,
or shepherdess among the hills, or
the flattered pet of drawing room
filled with statuarV and pictures and
bric-a-brac. Stop where you are and
make plan for your lifetime. You
cannot be satisfied with a life of
frivolity and giggle and indiscretion.
Trust the world and it will cheat you
II it does not destroy you. The Re-
doubtable was the name of an en-
emy's ship that Lord Nelson spared
twice from demolition, but that same
ship afterward sent the ball that
killed him, and the world on which
you smile may aim at you its deadli-
est weapon.
Poor, mdescribably poor, is that
girl who has gifts, clear mind and
active hands, and VINO has not been
taught how to use them, wandering
aimlessly through life, mediocre in
everything, without definite aim,
seeking vainly for occupations to
amuse or distract, perfuming her
body to crafty ignorant vanity, in
juring herself by late hours and bad
food, sparkling dimly in the struggle
for wealthy husband, and then as a
wife realizing her weakness and lack
of WORTH; as mother, weeping bitter,
stinging tears as she sees the results
of her miserable life magnified in
her children, and wailing piteously
for help and strength when it is too
late. No sarcasm this; the scientific
man turns to his work with a heavy
heart after studying such case. But
object teaching is natures teaching,
and many repetitions are necessary
before people will take the lesson
and its full meaning to heart.
Nothing is better calculated to
ruin small boy than for him to
have two homes, to either of which
he is permitted to go at will. If
mother reproves or chastises him for
his naughtiness, he takes his hat and
goes over to grandmas or aunties
house. There he is received, cajoled,
petted and permitted to remain day
or two, or perhaps a week Then,
because of some overt act, he is re-
proved and he picks up his hat and
goes off home, where he is kindly re-
ceived and no reference had to his
| former misconduct. In this way he
is permitted to oscillate between two
homes, all the time developing his
disregard of the restraints of right
