DAWSON SAYS DOESN'T
FAVOR FLOGGING WOMEN
Wrong Impression Secured
in Stories Printed

Atlanta, April 23.-"I never said to
any newspaper man or other pers IN
that l favored a return to the fiogging
of women convicts in Georgia." was
the emphatic statement made here by
Chairman R. E. Dawson, of the prison
commission.

ment l made on the matter at all was
to a reporter in Savannah, who asked
me for an interview on that subject.

/ lct that within the past six months the
prison commission of Georgia passed
strong resolution opposing the pun
ishment of women, and the same is on
the minutes of the commission"
A statement was made in one of the
Atlanta papers to the effect that Chair.
man Dawson favored tlogging women
and Warden Meyer, of the Atlanta fed
eral prison, did not. 1t was used in
connection with the statement sent out
from Savannah to the effect that Chair
man Dawson was an aspirant for Moy-
els place.
Chairman Dawson also stated that
there was mistaken impression to tn :
effect that law existed forbidding the
fiogging of women. However, all the
legislature did was to pass joint reso-
luton condemning the practice in this
state and urging its abolition. Practi-
cally from that date the custom of fog
ging women was discontinued by or
ders of the commission AS stated,
there was recent further action by the
commission forbidding it.

Chairman Dawson has received an init

GOVERNOR DECLINES TO

declines to approve a pardon for
Thomas H. Jones, convicted slayer of

Commended by the prison commission.
In an extended statement issued yes

his reasons for denying the application.
He stands patty on the court record as
brought out by witnesses at the trial,
and draws the conclusion that Thomas
H. Jones was guilty OF firing the fatti
shot. in spite of two confessions AID

an affidavit from John B. Jones, in
which he confessed again that he was

Gov. Brown refused to read this afli
davit and frankly told the Macon at
torney that he could not entertain the
affidavits of man who had confessed
to the shooting once, denied it when his
own life and liberty was in jeopardy,
and now at this late date comes for
ward with still another confession.
Moreover, the governor read closely
the record in the case and concluded
from the testimony brought out in
Tom Jones trial that he was undenia-
bly, guilty
His statement, in part, is as follows:
The basis of this application is that
Wiley d. Bishop was not shot dead by
Thomas H. Jones, but by John B. Jones
hence the trial Enthusiastically shows
that Thomas H. Jones did the shooting,
hence was rightfully convicted by the
jury.

their hands on each other. Mr.. Jones

WOMEN GET DIVORCES
Refuse to Live Longer With Hus-
bands Who Say Bread is Not as
Good as the Bakers.

1t has just transpired that during
the past year several divorces have
been granted in Beltrami and Clear
water counties to women who have
refused to live longer with their hus-
bands because the latter criticised
the bread served them. The hus-
bands all insisted that a certain bak-
cry in Bemidji was making better
bread than their wives could bake.
That the judge favored the men
was shown when he told the women
that the bakery involved produced
better bread because it had employees
who made breadmaking their daily
study and machinery with which the
processes were standardized. He told
the women that they could serve
their husbands fresh bread every day
and save a great deal of time and
much kitchen drudgery by buying
bakery bread and using the time
saved to higher endeayors.
In order that the women might
themselves be convinced they were
told to visit the plant Of the Model
bakery, 315 Minnesota avenue, and
see the kitchens where cleanliness
reigns supreme and modern machin-
cry makes uniform bread. The bread
which caused the divorce cases is the
Model homemade bread. It is wrap

STORIES OF OUR STATESMEN

Senator William J. Stone, of Mis-

conversation in Washington club
turned to the merry sons of Erin.
He was reminded, he said, of Pats
poor memory

told by the senator, man was about

until the death of his wife. had very
high ideals and a lofty aim; man
who was extremely painstaking and
careful in everything, who would
never accept anything from himself
but the best he was capable of, but
who, when he lived alone, gradually
dropped his lofty standards, neglected
his appearance, and grew so slovenly
in his personal habits that he be-
came really repulsive, and yet he was,
apparently, absolutely unconscious of
the insidious change.
One of the most dangerous things
that can happen to people is losing
sight of the ideal-uneonsciousl
drifting down from a high level-until
they become half content with medi-
ocrity, inferiority, and practically sat
isfied 10 drift along in q humdrum
way. merely marking time" consci-
Gus of inferiority of purpose and aim,
and yet without the energy or pro-
polling power to force themselves into
higher condition of things. Oh, the
blighting, blasting effect which fol-
lows the loss of an ideal, or the fad
ing out of a purpose!
Wrapped up in every human being
there are energies which, if unfolded,
concentrated and given proper direc-
ton, will develop the ideal.
Not on some far-off height, in some
distant scene or tabled land, where
lodging without endeavor Is magically
satisfied, will we carve out the ideal
that haunts our souls, but near at
hand. In the humble valley, on the
boundless prairie, on the farm, on sea
or on land, in workshop, store or
office, wherever there is honest work
work for the hand and brain of man
to do-within the circumscribed limits
of our daily duties is the field wherein
our ideal must be wrought.
1.-THE situation that has not its duty.
its IDEAL" says Carlyle, was never
yet occupied by man. Yes, here in
this poor, miserable. hampered, de-
spicable actual, wherein thou even
now standest, here or nowhere is thy
ideal; work it out therefrom, and,
working. believe, live, be free. Fool
the ideal is myself
With eyes ever fixed on the ideal,
we must work with heart and hand
and brain; with a faith that never
grows dim, with a resolution that
never waivers, with a patience that is
akin TO genius, We must persevere
unto the end; for, as we advance, our
ideal as steadily moves upward.

Loves bright star aids
When mems hope fades.

Astrologers find this a doubtful
day. Jupiter is in friendly aspect
early in the morning, but Mars rules
strongly against the best interests OF
n1ortals.
The influences are read as likely
TO lead to quarrels and misunder-
standings, especially among partners
in business. They are believed to
incline persons toward headstrong
acts and rash decisions. The temper
is easily affected under this rule and
hasty words are common. Persons
born between March q and April 20
are most susceptible to the vibrations
of this planet.
Accidents during journeys are
numerous under this contiguration.
DELAYS, also, are common, while op-
stacles of various sorts are likely To
be met.
While this rule prevails persons
may become headstrong, egotistical
and domineering. They are some
times inclined toward rash and ven
turesome acts. The aspect bodes Ill
for domestic harmony
AS Mars governs the muscular sys-
tenn, the head, face and sense of taste
Illnesses are supposed to be numer-
Gus while the planet is in evil as

There lis a prophecy that because
the conjunction of Mars and Saturn
falls in the fourth house of Queen
Wilhelmina, the health of the ruler
of Holland will be impaired, while
troubles with foreign powers may
