should be. Sanitation. adequate

NEGRO PRISONERS
WELL CARED FOR
Washington Pleased With
Conditions at Wetumpka
PRISONERS CHEERFUL
Noted Negro Educator Declares No
Where Is tuberculosis Camp Bet
ter Kept Than That at the
Wetumpka Prison

MONTGOMERY, June 12-(Special)- Com
mendation of the treatment accorded ne
gro prisoners at the state tuberculosis
hospital at Wetumpka has been expressed
by Booker T. Washington, in a letter
which the noted negro educator has writ
ten to President Hartwell Douglass of the
state board of convict inspectors.
DIR. Washington declared that he was
greatly surprised at the cleanliness of
the hospital quarters, and expressed his
appreciation Of the good treatment ae-
corded the negro prisoners. while l
have had the privilege of visiting hos
pitfalls and camps of various kinds In
many parts of the. country" he declared,
'I have neeYr seen any one anywhere
which in my opinion is better kept than
is true of the one at Wetumpka.'
In giving DIR. Washington letter to
the press, Mr.. Douglass issued a short
statement to the effect that he was talk
ing that course in view of the fact that
the department had recently been much
in the limelight and had received great
deal of unnecessary criticism.
II deem 1t proper to give out the fol-
lowing letter received by me from the
recognized leader of his race and a man
for whom the white people of this state
entertain the highest respect" said Mr..
Douglass.

Washington's Letter

The following is Dr. Washington's let
ter:
ION yesterday ! had the privilege of
visiting and inspecting the Alabama tu-
berculosis camp under the care of your
board. and 1 want to let you know how
very much I was pleased and surprised
at what l saw in the tuberculosis camp
OF course, 4 was anxious to see just how
the prisoners were being treated, the
greater part of whom are colored | was
surprised at the extreme cleanliness. and
then 1 was equally surprised and pleased
to see how well the rooms We're venti
lated, and how bright and full of sun
shine they Were kept. In fact, while |
have had the privilege of visiting hos
pitals and camps of various kinds in many
parts of the country, | have never seen
any one anywhere which in my opinion
is better kept than is true of the one at
Wetumpka.
81 was greatly pleased too, to note the
fine relationship which existed between
the convicts and the keepers. There
seemed to be nothing of the strained or
stilted attitude that one finds especially
in northern prisons I was surprised in
the penitentiary proper not to see single
gun or pistol in the possession or ON the
person of any of the keepers. While |
know nothing, except by hearsay, of the
way convicts are treated in the coal
mines, lumber camps. etc. | do not hesi-
tate to say that in the tuberculosis camp

DOES ADVERTISING PAY?

To all people who question the
truth of the familiar expression
advertising pays" we would COM
mend an incident of the late politi-
cal campaign in the State, and
that incident is the election OF
John w. Kephart, of Cambria coun-
ty, to the high position of Superior
Court Judge.
Mr.. Kephart was comparatively
unknown in the State; but he began
judicious use Of printers ink early
in the battle, sending cards by mail
and publishing advertisements in
the country newspapers. After pull
ing down the nomination at the
primaries Mr.. Kephart continued
his campaign along the same line,
and he won the election, receiving
more votes than Webster Grim, the
man who was the regular Demo
cratic nominee.
Not only did Mr.. Kephart adver-
tise, but he pursued the "follow-up'
species of advertising by going be-
fore the people personally. Evi-
IDENTIFY he made a good impression,
judging by the large vote he re-
ceived.
There is an advertising maxim
that declares goods well displayed
are half sold" Mr.. Kephart's dis
play of his personality won him a
Superior Court judicial position.
Judge Kephart will undoubtedly
make most efficient officer, and
he won his election like true and
brave knight in the open lists.

preferring to use a three column lot

ganization in the realm of that pap
er's circulation.
Our neighbor first calls the matter
sent out in stereotype form by that
awful propaganda" advertising; !;
and in its jealousy of it's contempor-
aries that is supposed was getting
a big lot of "easy money" it really
believed what it said; but when it
learned that there was no more pay
behind it than there was behind the
Arthur Brisbane intemperance "ad-
vertisement," it became wonderfully
virtuous, and dropped the word "ad-
vertising' entirely.
AS a matter of fact The Citizen
published the good roads matter be-
cause we believed then and still be-
lieve that what it exploited is right.

A word about those awful boiler
plates" In the same issue of the
Independent that contained the
"Fooling Them With Boiler Plate
editorial article, there were exactly
TWELVE columns Of those same
wicked boiler plate" articles on all
kinds of subjects from "telegraphic'
news to farm notes. Wasn't that a
wicked way to try and fool" its
readers?
So, there you have it?
Why not be Linotype newspaper,
like The Citizen, and be strictly up
to-date? Ip that way there is less
danger of becoming an 'imitator."

on the charge simply to stir up an
other revolt against the Russian
Jews to drive them forever out OF
that country.
The acquittal of Bells has saved
Russia from a disgrace so great that
it is almost uncomfortable. In nc
other country could a Jew have been
tried on a charge of killing a Chris
tian in order to get his blood for
ritual use. The charge was made by
pagans against Christians in the
early days of Christianity, and in the
darkest ages it was sometimes made
by Christians against the Jews. The
fact has long since been repudiated
by official evidence.
