PRACTICAL PRISON REFORM.

Illuminating were the remarks O | Governor West, of oregon. on the in humanity of man to man in discus
 sing the prison system recently. H
 admits that in his long battle for re form he has met with some dIsap | pointments. but he says he has bee,
 repaid thousand fold by his work il
 trying to give unfortunates 'an equa
 chance"
 There are three classes of crim
 inals." declares the governor: "degen
 crates for whom there is little hope criminals from choice. invariabl, bright men whom it is possible to re. form, and the most unfortunate of all the fellows good at heart but led by circumstances to commit crime These last are the ones I trust fully. I get them away from the institution as quickly as I can find them positions and literally give them freedom.
 There is no law in oregon that permits me tO do the seemingly ir- regular things I do. but also there ia no law that says I shall not do them"
 Tho .@oia-"p "s coua-.o- vuos.'. system is evidenced by the fact that of 426 men now paying the penalty of wrongdoing in oregon. 200 are outside of institutions earning their livelihood and supporting their families.
 
 And the moral of it all lies in the governors own words: You will never have any success with prison reform until you abolish the prison stripes. relic of barbarism."
 Which is a good idea for the people 1f all the states to think about.-New York Examiner.

extraordinary If some rich deposits du not exist between Nome river and Topkok, especially since gold bearing h,1,h sands are found several milez back near Seattle creek.
 Anyone who knows the Alaska min ing camps will surely concede that m placer territory known in the North today presents greater possibilities than the flats stretching around Nome city on every side. Sure enough 1t Is much easier to speak about coming finds than to make finds. It is no snap to go out on the tundra and start dig Eiu- without the least surface ind cation that pay lies beneath. IL re- guires lots of grit lots of work and lots of supplies.
 Of course all these are required everywhere else also. and the tundr. Is certainly the nearest field to base of supplies in Alaska.
 The most dlscouraging thing in the world is to fail a few times in finding gold. With each failure ambition grows less until 1t dimlnishes to the vanishing point and lies apparently dead altogether until a new strike by some one else revivifies 1t. A new strike fructifies. if one might say so. like a seed vegetable. From one veg etable come many and nothing couId do more for Nome's winter population than this same seed.

.BUB0N|C PLAGUE NOT
4 PRESENT DANGER
Or. Mohr Says Preparations For
Future Are Necessary,
However.

bonic plague in this city in the nes
future was the statement made b
Or. Charles A. Mohr, city healt
officer, to the board of city commits
sioners in weekly session Tuesday
If the plague now exists anon
! the rats of this city, DR.. Mohr said
it will be anywhere from two to fiv,
years before if will appear anon,
human beings, provided, of course
it should ever be transmitted from
Mobile rats to Mobile people. Thi.
statement was the first made By
DR.. Mohr after his return from tht
conference in New Orleans Monday
and which was attended BY health
officers and other physicians from
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Florida and Georgia and rep.
reSentatives of the United States
public health and marine hospital
service.
FUMlGATON AFTER DISCHARGE.
DR.. Mohr said during the day that
he had been informed that the ma
rine hospital service will soon inaug-
urate an extra precaution against the
introduction Of bubonic plague into
the country through this work-the
fumigation Of vessels here after their
cargoes are discharged. This will
mean that vessels will be fumigated
twice in this port-once at the quar-
antine STATEN and once in Mobile
river.
By his statement to the city COM
mission DR.. Mohr did not seek to
minimize the Importance of the work
of eradicating rodents, but merely to
allay the anxiety of persons who
may apprehend the appearance Of
bubonic plague among human beings
here in the near future.
WAR ON RAT IMPERATIVE.
The work Of fighting the rat, DR..
Mohr says, is just as important as
it evekwas. Although human plague
may not appear for years after the
introduction of rat plague, it is i'm
perative that the disease be kept out
of the port. After the rats Of San
Francisco were attacked by the
plague, it cost mnre than S3,000,-
600 to rid the city of the disease.
The doctor also told the commits
sion that it was decided in the health
in New Orleans that the
rat plague had reached that city from
England, where it has existed for
two years among rodents. The in
fected rat examined by the govern
ment psychologists came from Stuy-
vesant docks, at which no vessel
from any tropical port has landed
since the discovery of the disease in
the West Indies.
DR.. E. A. Thayer, the new pro-
fessor of pathology at the Medical
School Of the University of Alabama,
worked with number of rats at the
school Tuesday, but at night he was
unable to report anything out of the
ordinary Mobile Register.

Get Her a Through Ticket

Then it occurred to me that if the laws
are unjust they might be corrected by wo-
mans indirect influence.
He laughed. Say" he said, eff your wife
had to go to New York tomorrow, would
you try to induce her to go around by New
Orleans? This indirect process of doing
things is always long one, and your chill
dren will be grown up before her influence
could count for anything"
eyes, that's So" said 'but can I not
represent her at the polls?"
"You certainly can, but wouldn't you like
to double your influence in the community
by having her vote with you? And besides,
don't forget that just as soon as she gets
the vote the officials who are doing things
that they should not do in this community
will hump themselves mighty sudden. They
will try to keep you from insisting upon
her voting as long as they can, because
they know that when she votes she will
bring to your attention things about which
they have kept you blinded
''Well," I said, what do you mean by
that?'
"I mean that the woman is the publicity
agent Of the home. She gets all the news
from all of her friends, and when you are
absorbed in your business she is finding out
what is going on around the town.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1912-10-31
They Fear Publicity

"The bad politicians only fear publicity,
and they oppose suffrage for the same reason
that they would like to have it rain on cleo
ton day to keep away the better class Of
voters"
isn't it a fact" said 7, shat there are
too many voters now and that this would
increase the number of ignorant voters?"
"The number of ignorant voters would be
increased" he replied, "but this number
would be as nothing compared to the num-
Der of good voters that would be added"
But" I said, "aren't there just as many
ignorant women as there are men?"
"By no means" he replied.
"Of nearly three million immigrants who
arrived in the United States during the
three years ending June 80, 1904, only one
fifth were women. The majority of igno-
rant voters come to this country alone and
go back when they get money enough"
"But," I said, "don't you think women
are too emotional to be trusted with the
BALLOT"
He smiled again. "Do you know" he
asked, "what started the Civil War? Was
it cold, hard business sense or sentiment?
What sent those thousands of American
soldiers to defend the Cubans against the
tyranny of Spain? It wasn't cold logic
it was sentiment Did you ever attend
game of the national baseball series, and
did you ever sit on the bleachers when three
men were on bases and the batter had two
strikes? Then, tell me, are men emotional?"
That's So" said, they are emotional"
But then I thought of the bad woman.
"How will she vote?" asked.
"The bad woman rarely votes, he replied.
"She wants to keep her identity secret.
Of thirty thousand women who voted in the
city of Denver during the last election only
one hundred and sixty were known to be
bad women"
This was convincing and I asked, "Where
do women now vote and what is the re-
sult?"
He said, women now have the full bal
lot in California, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah,
Idaho. Washington, New Zealand, Australia,
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1912-10-31
Now Get These Reasons

"Wel1," I said, eff all this is so, why is
it that women have not demanded it BE-
fore? Why is it that they are not all de-
handing it now?"
He said, "There are two reasons. First,
you admit that you have been too busy
to see how necessary it is that you insist
upon your wife voting. This is true of the
majority of men. You are too busy to paw
any attention to it. She recognizes that.
but she doesn't know what to do. Take my
advice, Tell her to go after the vote and
see what happens"
But why do not all women demand the
vote?" I said
"Well," he replied, smiling again, "the
politicians have tried to keep the men think
ing about things thousand miles from
their homes.
1.-THE women have never known what the
ballot was really intended for The average
woman thinks it has something to do with
the election of president, but she is not
quite sure. Just as soon as she finds out
what the ballot can do for her right in her
own back yard, then the child of the working
man in this community will have show
for his white alley

mothers control and into the hands of some
city department. His mother once con-
trolled these departments. Today she has
absolutely no control over their conduct"
But" I said, "the men have the vote
Can't they exert the proper influence
mo man can hold two jobs at one time"
he said. "You can't get good man in this
town to pay close enough attention to any
public Office to do the community any good
unless he neglects his own business. This
the average man positively refuses to do"
"In that case" said I, "do you think it
would be good thing to have women in
Officer"
II think" he replied, 1--WE want good Off
GERS, and it doesn't make any difference to
me whether they are women or men as
long as they do their work right"
But" I exclaimed, Il never thought
women ought to have anything to do with
those things"
He laughed "You didn't object when
your mother used to inspect the milk on
the farm. Don't you think your wife ought
to have something to say about who in
spects it now?"
