WOOD SHOP NOTES
BY HAPPY HEINIE

Chief Schatz held an electrical test in
the wood shop the 7th. He wanted to find
out the exact amount of power it would
take to run the wood shop at the new
prison.
Uncle Johns tomatoes are ripe, and he
claims it takes all his spare time watching
them. Says the place is full of crooks.
Honest, Uncle, the boys wouldn't steal from
you-if you were looking.
During inventory week one of our men,
son of Sweden, asked the foreman how
he should make out his time slip, and af-
ter being informed he handed it in as fol-
lows: INVENTOR. Dagen stok

kick coming On the paper cabinets we
made for you am afraid you will have to
get your predecessor back, as he was the
architect, and / don't believe we should
call him back for such trihe.
Since the departure of Napoleon for his
native heath, the Deputy has picked yours

and if anyone feels strong just come and
run them for while. 1t gives person
chance to get around though.
Paddy, of street commissioner fame, has

the band in the park plays. He calls il

that he is going to make mint of money

gets out.
Talk about being "busier than amonkey

RrHinrt,t Officials

A few years ago, what may now be
termed the clark ages schools for the
education of prisoners confined in prisons
and jails were unthought of. At that
time prison was supposed to be placs of
punishment and nothing else. Anything
that was done, or even suggested, to make
life more worth while to those confined,
was frowned upon. The publication of
newspapers in prison was not to be thought
of, and if any warden had the spirit to go
ahead and do thing after it had been
frowned upon, he was severely and un-
Justly critized.
In the later years, the people as a whole,
have looked upon any suggestions for the
betterment of the confined, as benefit to
those at liberty. Newspapers, published
in the prisons, was one of the first sugges-
tions to meet wholesale approval. Next
came the Prison School, in most cases
taught by the better educated prisoners and
generally superintendent by civilian prin-
cipal.
The school has proven a success WHEREBY
er tried; the inmates, for the most part,
Icing willing and anxious to secure bet
ter education.
Some people have expressed the opinion
that the prisoner only attends school be-
cause it kills the monotony of prison life.
This is not the case 1t is impossible to
go through prison, where schools are al
lowed, and not find, in the majority of
cells, books of learning from the first
"A, b, C,-reader to some of the highest
studies in mathematics, besides law books
and books on shorthand and bookkeeping.
The prisoner is putting in his spare
moments fitting himself for something
better than prison existence.
1t has only been within three or four
years that schools for those confined in
county jails have been thought of. The
contention against county Jail schools was
the fact that the majority of men sent to
Jail only had short time to serve, and the
expense would hardly be repaid in the
good the school would do. This conten-
ton is being rapidly overcome and the
people are awakening to the fact that even
though man has only a short time to
serve, in that short time he can be brough,
to,a realization of the fact that better ed
ucation will be better for him, and the
seed once sown will grow, and the chance.
are very favorable that he will go out and
still continue to put in his odd moment.

REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
ELECTION, MONDAY, SEPT. s, 1918.
For Representative to Congress, Third
Maine District,
JOHN A. PETERS, of Ellsworth.
Cheerful Tidings.

Ever since the present political
campaign began most unwarranted
claims have been made as to the
strength of the third party, and no
amount Of evidence to the contrary
seems to have any effect.
The Lewiston Journal daily figures
out that Lawrence is elected, Pattan-
gall is second, and Peters bad third.
This claim virtually makes out that
Lawrence is even "biger man than
old Roosevelt, for last November's
vote in this district gave Wilson more
than it gave Roosevelt.
And all this Is given out in spite OF
the statements of hundreds OF promi-
nent men in the district who voted
for Roosevelt in November, and who
now declare they are for Peters; in
spite of the municipal election returns
of last spring, which show a tremen-
dous falling of of the third party
strength; in spite of even democratic
authority that Peters leads Lawrence,
and has from the beginning-and this
In the face of the fact that the demo-
Gratis are encouraging the progressives
all they can, well knowing that If
votes enough can be DETECTED to
Lawrence, Pattangall is bound to be
elected.
AS the campaign progresses, the
fact that the tariff--the policy of pro-
lection versus tariff for revenue
only-is the supreme issue is becom-
ing realized; that democrat can be
elected only by division of the anti
democratic strength; that of the two
anti democratic candidates Mr.. Peters
is in the lead, and that the only hope
of defeating Pattangall is to vote for
Peters.
Under the conditions as they exist
to-day, vote for Lawrence is a vote
for Pattangali. Are there protection
lists in this district who are prepared
to 60 on record as having assisted in
the election to Congress of q free
trader?

1t was too good to keep, and 1t has

In order to create the impression
that the audience was large and
enthusiastic, group of wicked demo-
Gratis attended, located themselves in
different parts of the hall, and when
an opportunity offered for applause,
they whooped her up.
This trick made the applause seem
general and genuine, and had a ten
dency TO hearten a hating Roose-
veltian. Great schemel
Every vote for Lawrence 10 in
directly a vote for Pattangall; the
foxy democrats know 1t; hence their
fellow feeling for the progressives,
many OF whom haven't yet dis
covered that they are being worked.
