One Benefit of the
Tariff.

The new tariff has the good effect
of reducing the cost of syrup-one
step at least in the lowering Of the
high cost of living. There are a good
many ways of using syrup and there
is place for it on every table at any
meal Breakfast will be tastier and
more inviting with plenty of hot bis
cults, griddle cakes or mullins with
syrup. Syrup can be used on a good
many desserts at dinner, and for sup
per with waff1es or hot bread. Syrup
is fine food. 1t is good for old or
young-especially children who con-
tinually crave sweets.
The one best syrup is Velva, in the
cans with the red or green labels.
Green Label Velva is pure country
made ribbon can syrup without any
thing added or taken away. Red La
bel Velva is the pure juice of the
cane modified in flavor by corn syrup
both are delicious and full of fine
flavor. Velva is lower in cost now
than ever, while other foods are Ell
Their higher in price or unchanged

1t is this humane spirit on my part
that has been construed as an usurpa-

the Talley & Hayward partnership.

for human weakness and depravtty,
and send forth their patients strength
ened instead of weakened for the
further battle that awaits them.
Problem Is Complicated.
THE whole problem of prison pun
ishment is a complicated one, but the
sentence which Dante inscribes over
the gates of Hell-"All hope aban-
don, We who enter here!"-should not
be written over the doors of our pris-
ons. This inscription can be left on
with 'pampering prisoners
1.-THE idea prevails in most prisons
that they are for the purpose of pun
ishment and getting even, instead OF
retaining those unfortunates who
have fallen by the way; and with this
idea in the minds o. prison officials,
prisoners are not made useful mem
bers of society, but are made con-
firmed and hardened criminals.
THE writer has no thought OF
'pampering' when he suggests that
prisons should be regarded as a place
for Withholding a man temporarily
from the companionship Of evildoers
and from his own worse self. Why
should not the object of prisons be to
preserve and build up rather than to
destroy the prisoners manhood and
self respect; to teach him that po-
tentialities for good are dormant and
may be awakened in him, and to af-
ford him every available means for
their awakening and development?
Give Convicts Fitting Work.
Instead of despair and resentment
as cell companions he should be given
rational hope for the future and intel

rehabilitating himself
Then his hours Of solitude will not
be spent in cursing his fate and plot
ting his revenge on his enemies-real
or imaginary-but he will take stock
of his own instruments for useful CO.

polishing those he finds that he pos

ran its course some fifty years and
more ago. Revival is hardly the

NATIONAL BANKS Of COUNTY
TO APPLY FOR RESERVE STOCK
Notification Has Been Received Here, Indicating That
New Currency Law in Being Put Into Working Shape
.-lnsttutions Preparing to Carry Out Plans.
Under the New System

That the new reserve bank system
provided under the currency law is be-
ing gotten into working shape is shown
by the fact the national banks of this
county have received notifications to
apply for stock in the Pacific Coast
reserve bank and are now preparing
to do so.
Under the currency law it is COM
pulsory for each national bank to SUBJ
scribe an amount equal to six per cent
of its capitalization and surplus. the
subscription being for capital stock in
the reserve bank. Under this require
ment the First National Bank of Pen
dleton will purchase $4,000 worth Of
stock in the reserve bank. the Ameri-
can National Bank $4,000 worth Of
stock while the other subscriptions
from this county will be approximate
ly as follows: First National Bank
of Milton $4,000 First National Bank
Of Athena. $1,000 First National Bank
OF Hermiston. $3.50. the fatal sub
scriptions from this county being
close to $4,000.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1914-04-14

The stock subscriptions by the Pen
dleton banks are much heavier than
from the banks of any other town in
eastern Oregon The total of the
subscription from all the national
banks of Union county amounts to but
$4,000, the same identical amount as
the subscription of the First National
Bank here.
The banks having Joined the re-
serve association are notified that
their subscriptions must be paid to
the secretary of the reserve bank or
ganization committee within 80 DAYS,
Prompt compliance with the require
ments is asked for in order to ex.
pedite the organization of the reserve
banks. 1t is not necessary for banks
to pay their entire subscriptions at
one time howeved. A one-sixth pay
ment is required at this time one sixth
within three months: one sixth within
six months thereafter and the re.
naming half of the subscription when

that the city authorities have no right

WHITMAN THINKS BECKER
WILL Be RECONVICTED At
P0L|CEMAN'S End TRIAL
STATEMENT OF CIROFICI IS En-
PECTED TO AID THE PROSE-
CUTION.

NEW YORK. April 14.-DistricI
Attorney Whitman expressed the
opinion today that the statement of
Frank Cirofici before his electrocu-
ton yesterday would aid materially
ir reconvicting Becker at the second
trial on charge of instigating the
murder of Herman Rosenthal.
1t is true. Whitman remarked, that
Cirofici said 80 far as | know Beck

but he pointed out that circumstan-
TALLY the statement contradicts no
essential part of Bridgie Webber and
Harry Vallon's stories on the witness
stand at Becker's first trial and that
it confirms Jack Roses version.
Whitman added he didn't intend
to act against Vallon, despite Croft
els statement that he had "been
told he was one of the men who
shot Rosenthal. He considered the
assertion. toe, vague to warrant an
arrest.
Whitman's personal opinion in view
of Cirofici's story. he said. was that
"Gyp the Blood" Horowitz and
Lefty Louie" Rosenberg did the act
ual killing.
Whitman is expected to move to-
morrow for setting Becker's second
trial for May 4. 1t seemed likely
that Becker's lawyer, Joseph Shay.
would withdraw from the case. He
had an interview with his client in
the Tombs yesterday and afterward
