49, WE WILL NOW HAVE --
A Felu Remarks

By WALTER B. HILTON

WHEN THE ELEVATOR sky bound, stopped in the
midst Of its ascent and the operator engaged in
with the operator OF the other elevator bound in the oppo
site direction while the passengers wated-then every
body knew it Philadelphia.
This is regular in the Bourse, Philade
pha Board Of Trade where the only sign of life is not
the trading floor but in the basement underneath and
is produced by the humping of gas engine.
Philadelphia is regarded the sleepiest city in
America but Philadelphia has been rocked in thecrade of
Liberty for 1877 years. and it would make anybody sleepy
be rocked any cradle for half that long The people
there look at Independence Hail. that achievement of
the dim past and they think there to hustle for
the future can hold nothing important.
Philadelphia is regarded as the crookedest city in
America because the people have thought that With
their eyes upon the past they have not the manpua
lions OF those whose eyes upon the main chance and
capitalists has gone through the pockets of the czenry
while the aforesaid citizenry peacefully dreamed Of the
time when the Declaration of Independence signed
right their midst While they stood looking at George
Washington and Thomas Jefferson they sandbagged
by Matt Quay and Boise Penrose.
Philadelphia is regarded the lowest wage city in
America because the workers not organized It
town. has been hard to organize because the
unemployed float in from the SOUTH with the steamers
filed with fruit Besides the pirates Of big business, hav
ing gotten the start have always managed to keep
body in Office to keep the people suppressed
But Philadelphia is awakening. After its long sleep
there signs of returning consciousness,
science. The march Of capitalism is bringing Industrial
ism inevitably in its wake and the great of the people
will be in the Industrial and political participation
that will mean genuine declaration Of Independence
There signs all about One Of them can be at
the of the 100000 City Hail. which still build
ing and which has already feathered the nests of full
many CRATER. There, the broad side walk be
seen knot of at midnight discussing the Labor ques
ton. Any speaker allowed five minutes and the meet
ing becomes joint debate between the L W. w. A. F. Of
L. Socialist Party and Socialist Labor Party. Which is
healthy sign.
Liberty was born in Philadelphia, but good many
people beginning to realize that it born dead But
new birth is about due.

Wonderful Methods Of the uRiteo

Success and i'll health in life do not
go hand in hand. It cannot reason
ably do so, for who In physical pain, in
mental depression can make use OF
their maximum ability towards the
goal of-success? Without having used
ones full ability one cannot obtain the
share allotted the man or woman who
has not been able to strive to the
utmost, if through physical ailments
the person has been handicapped.
Those few who have found financial
success at the cost of health or in
spite Of i'll health cannot truthfully be-
lieve themselves successful if they
cannot enjoy the ruit sof their striv-

but discomfort and misery?

ISLE OF
DESPAIR

Surrounded by Shark In
tested Seas and Deadly
Swanps, the French Be-
liepe Escape from Their
Penal Colonies at Devil S
Island and San Jean de
Moroni, in French
Guiana, Is Impossible.
Yet Here Is the Confess
sion of a Conpict Who
Thrice Eluded the Arab
Sentries and Is NOw in
Jail in This Country.
The San Francisco call., 1913-07-27
BY George Carteret.

IA
IL place that it is the envy OF
Satan. If there is a hell on earth
it is that wretched rock. Direst mis-
cry, incessant toll under a tropical
sun is the lot of the French convicts
who are sent to that penal colony off
the coast of French Guiana, on the
Atlantic side of South America. There
the blood boils and the brain burns.
1t is the Island of Despair!
Staten Island Is now lush with
roses and fragrant with clover. Ver-
dure fringed lanes lead to the county
Jail at Richmond. Only a few houses
surround the prison. From its barred
windows there Is pleasant view of
fertile farms and of the lower bay,
whose glinting waters are churned
by thousand craft There is tang
of the sea in the breezes that sweep
through the cells and corridors.
1t is a jail on an Island of Hope!
This contrast appeals vividly to
two prisoners in the Staten Island
Jail because one is an escaped convict
from Devils Island and the other
Il mi
other nearby penal colony. One at
least faces the certainty that he will
be sent back. He knows the cruel
fate meted out to men who have es-
capped and once more fall into the
clutches of the French warders, for
it is necessary to give the other suf-
ferers an object lesson! To get away
from DEVILS Island is to endure dread
full tortures. To be returned is far
worse!
One of these captives is Albert
PIeuchot and the other is Armand
Fauchon. 1t is Fauchon who is to
make the return voyage to Devils
Island in chains 1t is possible that
Pleuchot, in view of important in
formation that he has given to the
District Attorney, will be sent to a
prison in this country for crime
committed in Staten Island. Even
Sing Sing will be a heaven compared
to DEVILS Island.
Both of these miserable men, for
offenses committed in France, are un-
der life sentence. They are unique
in that out of the thousands sent to
the penal colony very, very few have
escaped alive. In fact, out of thirty
eight thousand prisoners sent to
French Guiana since 1852 it is de-
clared that the amazing number of
thirty thousand have died in that
dreadful exile! There are more than
six thousand enduring the glimmer-
ing heat of the colony now.
Thirty thousand victims of an in
credible punishment system thrown,
when dead, to the sharks, for that is
the way they dispose of the bodies!
A sentence for life nearly always
means sentence to a death by slow
tortured
No wonder the ape-like Fauchon
presses his face nearly always to the
bars and drinks in the lovely pano-
rama that is spread out before him!
Sullen and snarling, he RACES at the
keepers. He is type of the Apaches
of Paris. His head ie small, his fore
head low and deeply furrowed and
his frame slight, but his muscular
development is extraordinary His
long arms are hooked and hang like
those of a gorilla; his steely. blue
eyes stare without winking, watching
without appearing to notice. Low
cunning is obvious; there is deadly
hatred in his glare.
Pleuchot is somewhat milder, but
known to be desperate criminal.
There is that mocking and contempt
uous look in his eye that Is familiar
