EDISON DENIES HE'S A GENIUS
Tells Reviser Of Latin Bible "I'm
Only Mechanic and Couldn't Do
Your Work"

Thomas A. Edison listened intently
at his home at Llewellyn Park, in
Orange, n. j.. as the Abbott Francis
Gasquet, president OF the English
Benedictine Monks. unfolded to him
the gigantic task in which the COM
mission appointed by Pope Plus X, OF
which he is the head, is engaged in
revising the Latin Bible
The inventor. accounted an agnostic,
had asked the abbott to dinner to hear
of the work he has undertaken. When
the abbott had finished telling of the
tremendous scope of the task, involv'
ing as it does the minute analysis OF
ancient manuscripts wherever they
may be found in Europe, Mr. Edison
turned to him, saying:
Father Gasquet, l want to tell you
that | wouldn't like your job. It's
more than l could do"
But you, Mr.. Edison, are the genius
of the age" protested Abbott Gas
quet. "My work does not compare
with yours"
Oh" replied Mr.. Edison, with a
wave of the hand, Il am only me
chanic."

without guards-some 300 miles away from the
prison-have created national reputation for
loyalty. Less than one per cent have violated
their pledges by successful escape. Communi-
ties no longer fear to have convict camps
established near them. We have made manhood
as well as money by this healthy, hearty out
door labor. We have built the prisoners up both
physically and morally. Men discharged from
our road camps do not have the prison pallor,
the physical weakness and the hesitatng hang
dog appearance of the typical discharged con-
vict. They are bronzed, sturdy, healthy, efficient
laborers and are in demand SUCH About so
per cent. of those have sent from the camps
on the completion of their terms have made
good. The other 20 per cent. have mostly found
their way back into prison elsewhere"
Under the Colorado system, the convict is
allowed ten days off his sentence for each month
OF labor performed on the roads. This is in
addition to the usual reduction made for good
behavior. There are other incentives for the
convicts to SO conduct themselves that they will
be put at work the roads, according to War
den lyman. For one thing" he says, the man
who is allowed to leave the prison for the road
camp practically has seen the last of prison il
he conducts himself properly. His food is bet
ter his clothing is better. He has not constant
ly before his eyes the guns of the guards to
remind him that he is convicted criminal and
has no place in society. His sef-respect re-
turns, he is taught self-reliance and sustained
application, and these things enable him to take
his place among other people and do a mans
work when he is released from prison"
AS to the economic side of the question, War
den lyman is just as optimistic He declares
that the state has saved large amount of
money and that 1t will save hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars during the next ten years
through the use of convict labor on the roads
With reference to the cost of maintaining the
convicts In the road camps, Warden lyman gives
some statistics.
In one Of our camps" he says I'VE worked
S5 men, not including the camp help one month
The maintenance OF each of these men cost the
state exactly 25 cents per day. The total cost
Of all the work for the month"; including salaries,
care OF stock, feed for teams and cost of equip
ment, was $515.15, or 47h cents per day per
man Had this number of men been employed at
the standard wage rate of 81 per day the cost
OF wages alone would have been $1,6S2.5O"

ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST

Pierson, N. Dakota.-"The eczema
started on my scalp. 1t finally went
on to the back of my neck, then on to
my back, arms and chest. 1t broke
out in pimples first and then seemed
to run together in some places, max
ing sore about the size Of dime.
At times the itching and burning were
SO intense that it seemed unbearable.
The more l scratched it the worse it
became, and there would be slight
discharge from it, especially on my
scalp, so as to make my hair matted
and sticky close to the scalp. The
hair was dry, lifeless and thin. My
hair was falling so terribly that l had
begun to despair of ever finding re-
lief. My clothing irritated the erup-
tion on my back. The affected parts
were almost a solid scab.

In New Jersey the convicts handled a lit.
tie differently but the object Is the same Here
the guards have not thrown away their guns,
but the firearms are not in evidence and the
casual visitor to the convict camp scarcely can
tell which are the keepers and which convicts
Woodrow Wilson, when he governor Of
New Jersey, thought he saw way to solve some
of the problems presented by the state prisons.
He outlined his idea to the state prison labor
commission and turned over to that body, togeth.
er with the state road commissioner, the task
of working out his ideas. The result of President
Wilson's suggestions lis Don't Worry Camp" the
first of the road convict camps to be established
in New Jersey.
This is very much like any other summer
camp, except that it is better equipped. One
large room holds the convicts' beds, while in a
projecting ell there is space for five guards,
whose beds are so placed that every square foot
of the convicts quarters can be seen through a
glass partition. This is the only suggestion of
surveillance; except for the locks that are placed
on the doors at night The conVicts room con-
tains showerbath and other facilities. The
ventilation is scientific and the floor walls, cell
ing and beds spotless. Two former chefs,
now convicts preside in the kitchen and prepare
the meals, which include meat twice day and
plenty of fresh vegetables.
All the buildings in the camp were construct
ed by the convicts themselves, without any out
slde help, save Where expert workmanship such
as could not be furnished by the copvicts, was
needed. After the camp completed the con-
vcts were put to work the nearby roads.
Asphalt roads to be laid and culverts and
bridges constructed. and in this connection is
seen one of the chief benefits of the new sys-
TEN, so far the convicts concerned. The
prisoners will have an opportunity to learn the
masteries of scientific road-making; a profession
which is not overcrowded. Those prisoners who
show an interest in the work will be promoted to
responsible positions and will be in position to
secure wellpaid jobs when their terms expire
the authorities believe
While these few states have been taking the
lead in the efforts to solve the problem of con-
vict labor, other states have been studying the
question Of how best to direct the labor of the
states ward both for his own interest and that
of the state, and rapid progress is predicted
along these lines during the next few years by
those familiar with penal conditions throughout
the country.

Once upon time there lived and
hourished in a small city a worthy
nan. He was devoted to his native
place; he loved its streets and stones,
its strange odors, its smoke, its high
rates, its Indifferent water supply, it's
clubs and cafes and everything about
it. Nothing could induce him to leave
it even for the briefest period. In
vain did the railway companies spread
their holiday arrangements before his
eyes; he returned with the more salts
action to his favorite seat overlook
ing the central square. And, then, one
day, the king of that country, who was
full of capricious impulses, issued a
decree that no one in this little city
should ever leave it again, under pain
of fearful penalties. And Immediately
our friend began to be consumed with
a longing for travel.-Punch.
