A Sensible Report

The report of the joint committee of the two houses of the legislature on the investigation of the charges preferred by citizens of Florence is conservative and the recommenda- tions on the whole are sensible and timely.
 Governor Hunt, by special mes sage having informed the legislature that prisoners will no longer be per mitted to go into the town of Flor ence and allowed the freedom here tofore given them, renders it un- necessary, in the opinion of the committee, to take any action in the matter further than to recom- mend certain legislation for the management of prison affairs and treatment of the inmates, calculated to improve the discipline and re- move all cause for further com plaint from the citizens of Florence, and criticism from other quarters in regard to the alleged lax manage ment of that institution.
 Among the important recom- mendations of which we approve are those providing that no person be made a ''trusty'' or placed on the honor roll except by action of a parole board, and the further re- commendation that prisoners under proper guard work on a state farm, to be secured for this purpose and maintained for the support of the prisoners; and under proper guard upon road work as at present, but to engage in no occupation compet ing with the free labor of the state.
 While The Record believes in the humane treatment of convicts and that there are many reforms needed in prison management, yet we also firmly believe that persons convicted after fair trial of heinous crimes and sentenced to penal servitude should be restrained of their liberty and made to realize the enormity of their evil deeds, not only because they deserve punishment, but for the effect upon the criminally in clined, to deter them from felonious acts.
 We believe that the governor was not fully informed of the lax man. agement of the prison, and when shown by the testimony of credible witnesses, he had the manliness and candor to admit that mistakes had been made. Globe Record.

Guides for the Poor Boy

Herbert Kaufn n who writes sen tences for The Times that resemble red hot shot from, the mouth of a cannon last Sunday handed a few to the young man who is not rich. Here are some of the sentences:
 The mind is a mint. Money does'nt make a strong man; strong men make money
 Dollars don't improve intellect; intelligence does create wealth.
 It is bigger advantage to begin with empty hands than an empty head.
 Count the Presidents of the Un- ited States, the heads of the biggest corporations, the proprietors of the largest stores, the executives of the greatest railroads, governors and members of congress-and the bal ance will be heavily in favor of the poor mans son.
 Education shortens the struggle, but schools only teach orderly habits of thinking.
 An A B. or Ph.D. are of little use to an A. $.
 Three-fourths of the most inn porant positions in every commun- .ity are promotions from the ranks.
 Everything that was ever accom- plished on the face of the earth was acheived with the same equip ment that you possess.
 Edison, Westinghouse, Rockefel- low, Carnegie, Lincoln had no bet ter tools.
 With their example staring you in your face poverty will always be a poor excuse for failure-New York Times.

WE would like to see the Arizona solons pass law making it manda- tory to award all contracts for county supplies called for by county officials to bona fide residents of the counties in which the contracts are given out. Men who spend their lives in the upbuilding of a county, and who pay taxes to support county governments should have preference. The state contracts should be carried out in the state and the county contracts in the county. The home contractor ex- bends the money at home, while the outside barbarian expends at his home.

Buying for the Baby

In devising the business-getting methods one of the Chicago mail houses has sprung new one that needs to be watched by retailers,as the scheme in the disguise of "some- thing for nothing produces a fine bait for prospective customers.

All any person has to do to possess copy is to write the mail order house, and the beautiful little vol tune, neatly done up and postpaid is shortly received.
 Now, what this bo k really con- tains is the nice things that can be provided for the baby and just what the mail order house charges for them. In fact it is a catalog in that it contains many helpful sug- gestions for the mother in the mat ter of selecting beautiful and ap- propriate clothing for the baby.
 The Baby Book" of the Chi cago mail order house may be a beautiful little volume, and be sent promptly ufon request and postpaid and all that, but fond mothers of ''our town" should re- member that if they keep on buying clothes for the baby or other clothes from big city mail order houses and do not patronize local merchants, who keep as nice deisgns, just as good quality goods and at as low prices as the mail order houses, tour town" will go to the bowwows commercially and 'Dad," the in- come producer, won't have job enough leftto buy any sort of clothes mail order or otherwise.

AN exchange tells the story of a boy who was sent to market with a sack full of rabbits, lingering around town all day and coming back with out selling them. When asked by his mother why he had not sold the rabbits, he said no one asked him what was in the sack. How many of our merchants are like this boy? They have plenty of goods for sale, but fail to tell the people what is in the sack. If you expect to sell goods in this day and age you must open your sack and

AT THE HOUR. OF TWILIGHT
Writer Well Says That Chidren's
Bedtime Should Be Made as
Happy as Possible.

This hour should be made as hap
Ply as possible, for no one can tell
what may happen during the night.
Accidents, which occur in the day are
quite bad enough in the opinion of
mothers, but any sudden illness which
attacks child at night is more or
less alarming, and If the little one
has been put to bed with an angry
word, or an impatient shake, the
mothers distress and remorse must
be most acute.
A little play, although not an ex-
citing romp, sends a child to bed hap
Ply, and the mother can settle down
to her sewing, knitting or reading
with a calm mind, especially if the
little one has knelt at her knee and
repeated it's simple prayer before go
ing to bed. Where can you find
more impressive sight than this?
There is something infinitely sweet
in the pictures of the tiny form ask
ing in it's infant tones Divine aid and
protection. 1t is sad to think that so
many little ones are not taught this.
Parents are perhaps only tnougnC-
less and ignorant, and the children
never hear the name of God except
in blasphemy. But there are other
children, living in comfort and even
luxury, whose parents allow them to
go to rest each night without one
thought of prayer.
When a child takes cold it is an
excellent plan to take some sweet oil
and rub the chest with it every night
and morning. The hand must be
warm before applying the oil.

one good recipe: Beat the yolks of

add a small cupful of sugar and very
gradually half a cupful of boiling wa
ter. Sift one teaspoonful of baking
powder with one cupful of flour, and
add this by degrees; last of all mix
in the stiffiy beaten whites of the
eggs. Bake in individual tins. When
cold cut a piece from the center of
each. Fill this with preserved straw
berries and put whipped cream all
around them and cut strips of lemon
peel to form handles.

The New Collar.

A feature noted particularly in
wraps, but also appearing in suits and
dresses, is the collar, which in its
original form is nothing more than
awkward uprising of straight piece
of goods, heavily encrusted with en-
broidery or jewels, which stiffens it..
In using this, however, designers make
use of stiffenings of collar bone or
wires.
This thick-neck, almost hump-shoul-
dered effect, will be very fashionable.
