demonstrators. Only in the counties
where the commissioners supplement
the salary Of the agent Is he making
appointments. An agent will be nam
ed within a short time for Carter
county and whether a home man will
be given the Ilace is not known.
Among the persons being considered
are Charley Davenport of Glenn, pres
ident of the Carter County Farmers
Institute, Sol F. Kimbrell, Felix X.
West and Paul Michael Mr.. Mich
ael stated last night that after talk
ing the matter over with Mr.. Bentley
that he had withdrawn his applica-
tion. The place pays salary of 500
a month with no travelling expenses.
1t necessitates continuous travel
over the county all during the year
and is not a very paying situation.
The county commissioners will be
consulted concerning the matter Of
who will be appointed and their wish
es will have much to do with it for
the reason that the county pays as
much of the salary as the federal
government pays.
The demonstration work in Carter
county has been worth a great deal
to the farmers. More interest is taken
i'm livestock, scientific farming is
being done and the yields are being
materially increased.

/ ton to the population.
1t has built up a professional
criminal class. In every country there
is a large and increasing class ol
professional criminals, practically all
a whom have served one or more
prison terms. 1t Is estimated that
the yearly earnings OF these criminals
in the United States exceeds eight
hundred million dollars. Every per-
son is necessarily a school for crime
and in the United States alone ap-
prox!mately 100000 persons who are
thus Imprisoned annually are given
a compulsory education in crime. If
there were no jails there would be no
schools for crime.
1T has increased disease and pov.
erty The creator did not intend that
man should live in prison. The most
deadly disease known TO civilization
is tuberculosis, whose greatest aids
are dampness, darkness and dirt, the
special characteristics Of most pris-
ons. 1t is insisted by the highest au-
thorities that there is three times as
much tuberculosis among prisoners
as among others. No estimate can
be placed upon the amount of this
disease disseminated by prison made
goods and discharged prisoners.
1T Furnishes the innocent as well as
the guilty. The greatest wrong com
mitted today is the Imprisonment OF
the breatd winner and the sale by
the state oF his labor to prison con-
tractors, or its confiscation by the
state itself, while the family OF the
convict is left to suffer. This crime
against innocent womanhood and
childhood Is as disgraceful as it is
IT does not reform the offender,
Forty per cent Of all prison graduates
are again imprisoned, many Of them
scores OF times. Petty offenders in
cities serve as many as two hundred
on more sentences. No process in
the arts Of manufactures, 40 per cent
Of whose product Is detective. would
be tolerated. It's failure Is logical
and inevitable. Not until roses can
be grown in a cellar can character be
d -yeloped in cell.
AS a means of reform the prison
has been the most colossal failure
in civilized society. The indetermi-
nate sentence and parole now adopt
Cd in twenty nine states are attempts
to remedy a system whereby it Is
sought to reform one man and pun
lsh another by locking both in the
same cell for the same term.
Because Of the inherent impossi-
billty Of improving subnormal men in
surroundings, the duty of
delinquents must be re-
moved from the prison and placed
elsewhere, and the prison be made
what It was intended to be and what
+: Is fitted to be-a place Of detention

BOARD FORCED TO
REJECT PARK SITE

Because of a lack of funds the
park commission yesterday found it.
self unable to take over the Brookside
tract in Essex Fells. Henry Y. Condict
who owns a portion of the tract, Of
fered his share of the land at cost
but the commission has no available
funds at this time The tract in dues-
ton is the most available and would
cost the least to develop for park
purposes.
The commissioners explained that
the freeholders, owing to the condi-
lions of the money market, have not
been able to dispose of the bonds
necessary to secure the money. The
tract of forty-five acres would cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000.
A large delegation of citizens from
the vicinity of the tract. headed by
Mayor John Espy, of Caldwell, ap>
peared before the commissioners TO
renew their urgings that the prop
erty be taken over by the commits
sion.
After the refusal by the commits
sion Mr.. Condiet stated that he would
still hold his offer open until the time
the commission could definitely de-
eide whether there was any hope OF
securing sufficient money. He saio
that he did not feel justified in cut
| ting the land UP for building lots ano
depriving his fellow townspeople OF
| the chance of getting a public park Il
| possible.

MARKET IS STEADY
AT CLOSING HOUR
Traders Quit Operations After
Making Several Small
Ventures.

NEW YORK. April 23.-The tend
ency of the stock market was down
ward when trading was begun today
Reading and Amalgamated opened
fractionally higher, but soon relapsed
below Yesterdays close. The rest Ct
the active list opened at fractional
recessions. New Haven again dis
played marked heaviness. 1t opened
at III, and on the next few sales fell
to 1O91s, loss of "a, and a new low
record.
II a. m.-Convincing testimony OF
the subsistence of speculative interest
was furnished by the meagre total
of transactions for the first hour,
which is usually the most active
period of the session. Sales aggre-
gated less than $1,000 shares, with the
bulk of fluctuations within a range
of a of a point. New Haven met
some support, and the general mar
ket also became steadier after the
opening pressure had been relieved
Noon-Further talk of reduction
in the New Haven dividend and the
attacks on the companys manage
ment during the Boston hearing led
to further selling of the stock, which
dropped TO the lowest point on record
since the formation of the present
system Bonds were irregular.
1 p. m.-Display of strength by
Reading. which gained a point, i'm
parted a frrner tone to other active
shares.
. D. m.-Pressure against the Har-
riman group caused the list to sell OFF
late in the day. Reading lost it's ad-
vance and some other shares sagged
under yesterdays closing.
8 p. m.-The market closed steady
Having made several small ventures
both ways during the day to the eX'
tent of half a point or so, traders
left the market severely alone in the
final hour

OUTLINES PLAN FOR
AN ELASTIC CURRENCY

PHILADELPHIA, April 2S.-James
g. Cannon, president of the Fourth
National Bank, of New York city,
speaking at the dinner of the Phila-
delphia Credit Mems Association, out
lined a plan for using the Clearing
House Associations of the country as
a basis for the issue of an elastic as
set currency, when required by the
demands of trade.
There are three functions, at
least" he said, (which must be per-
formed by some one body or bodies
before we can effectively eliminate
the possibility of panies in this eoun-
try. These are the massing, under
an unselfsh control, fof the banking
reserves of the country: the granting
of adequately regulated power to is
sue notes, and the option of redis-
counting good commercial paper held
by the individual banks.
