90 Argues Flickertail Senator Because,

Washington, July 31.-Characteriz-
ing the democratic tariff bill as
''neither fish. fowl. nor herring" a
measure not framed scientifically on
either free trade or protection. and
declaring that 1t will rot benefit the
consumer because it will injure, II not
destroy the producer. Senator Gronna
progressive republican. Of North Da-
kota, attacked the measure In the ta-
riff discussion in the senate.
"The great industry Of agriculture. "
he said, again is the subject Of un-
Just onslaught and discrimination. l
call attention to the fact in my state
alone. where, In 1912. we raised over
143,000,000 bushels Of wheat. with
the short crops of foreign countries,
under the provisions of the bill our
farmers will lose in single year over
$1k.00o,o00."
Gronna declared that in discrimi-
mating against the farmer. the demo-
Gratis found themselves in a difficult
position. having two sets Of reasons
inconsistent with each other.
IF the removal of the tariff on
farm products is going to give the
consumer cheaper foods" re declared,
then the tariff on these products
gives the producer a better market
and the producer is benefited by 1t.
On the other hand. If. as contended.
the tariff on farm products is no ben
eft to the producer. then 1t can only
be because the tariff does not increase
the price OF these products and If it
does not increase the price. then
where is there any excuse for stating
that the removal Of the tariff is going
to benefts the consumer" He said the
counteryailing duty provision on
wheat and flour is no value to the far
mer as the countries which find their
interest to maintain duty on wheat

no wheat and want to sell u.s.

There are no dark cells at Great

ninety-five became insane at Sing

guards patrol high walls. armed with
rifles. The only wall at Great Mead
ows wouldn't be q fair bunker for a
goat. Approximately 500 convicts are
held there by the single restraint of
their word Of honor. Any minute of
any day the entire 800 could fade into
the landscape like water in dry sand.
None of the guards so much as carry
stick. Warden Homer doubts If
those who carry rifles could hit n
moving object once in S11 times. Good
conduct doesn't earn any especial re-
ward-but there hasn't been man
punished at Great Meadows in four
months. Only two men have ever es-
capped. Every Saturday afternoon the
convict body marches half mile
across the fields to the baseball ground
headed by the prison band.
"They do their best to march pretty,
too." said Warden William ]. Ho-
mer's charming wife. But when they
get within about block of the dia-
mond they can't stand 1T any longer.
You Just ought to see them break
ranks and tear for the best places on

The members Of the band hold that
this is most unfair. Not only does

Meadows. Here is a farm---two miles
long, a mile wide, containing 1.16h
acres. All round are wooded hills,
very sparsely inha abited. The men GO
out in gangs and singly to do the
work of the farm. Sometimes the
gangs are guarded and sometimes
they are not. There isn't sign Of a
an alarm whistle such as they have
at Sing Sing. and the men do not even
wear distinctive uniform.
Most Of them are dressed in thin
jeans trousers. out Of which all the
original color has been washed, and
which were not colored alike any
how. Their shirts are of all sorts and
conditions. Some wear gray prison
caps. and some wear straw hats. and
some wear the other shelters to which
their fancy draws them. One gang
OF guardless men take their lunches
and spend almost every day fixing
the water line" They are criticized
at the cell block because they are Oft
en- delayed in getting home and the
others are disturbed. About one hun
dred men work at solitary jobs and
only see guard when they come in
night to be locked up. The 'hay
gang" has been working until dark in
the fields this week. After they put up
their horses they stroll down to the
mess hall and get supper and then
smoke pipe in the cool of the yard
before going to the cell block for the
night. 1t is all very unusual and
somewhat confusing.
Homer wasn't hampered by any
theories on prison management when
ne took charge two years ago. He
didn't know anything about the sci
ence of penology and didn't care
about 1t. He simply had a theory that
IN you treat man right that man
Is going to treat you right" He did
not see any difference between Tom
Jones on the inside of stone house

So he sent for the men by groups

and made good. Homer didn't tell
them what his plan was, because he

his way. step at time. AS fast as
some new scheme occurred to him by
which he could make the lives of the
locked-in men a little more pleasant,

been called foolish by some one. But
they have. for the most part, worked.
