URGE LAWS
To PREVENT
ABUSES
Grand Jury Fixing Responsibility
for Camp eIties-Commis-
sions Blame Each Other.

with the Grand Jury pledged to fix
the responsibility for the terrible con-
ditions that prevail in Fulton County
convict camps when it resumes it's
investigation Friday morning, the
State Prison Commission Thursday
took active steps toward the reor-
ganization of the system, which it is
charged has been responsible for the
cruelties to the shackled convicts.
In a letter addressed to the County
Board Of Commissioners, the State
Commission suggests that the posi-
tons of County Warden and of Su-
perutendpnt of Public Works, that
are now held by one man, be sepa-
rated and two men named to fill the
positions.
Warden Urged for Camps.
The letter sets for the the belief
of the commission that the work of
the warden should be devoted solely
70 taking care of the convicts and
seeing that they are not mistreated
and that they are provided with COM
Portable sleeping and eating quarters.
The commission declares that it is
impossible for one man to attend to
the duties of the warden and super
intendent of public works in a coun-
ty that works as many convicts on
the roads as does Fulton.
The action of the Prison Commits
sion in sending recommendations for
reorganization to the County Board
followed a conference with Philip
Weltner, secretary of the Prison Re-
form Association.
Change Likely To Be Made,
Mr.. Weltner took the letter to the
County Commissioners, and also will
call the attention of the Grand Jury
to it when that body convenes Fri
day morning.
II is generally understood that the
County Board will adopt the recon-
mendations of the State Commission
IN which event the warden will re-
oeive salary of 500 per month and
the superintendent of public works
probably will have his salary reduced
small amount. The amount of the
salary is suggested by the Prison
Commission.
The positions of county warden and
Of superintendent of public works
are now held by S. H. Donaldson, a
brother Of Captain T. j. Donaldson,
VINO was appointed to the position
When Captain Donaldson was de-
noted.
The State Commission also is work
ing on a number of other plans of
reform which will be presented to the
county Board and to the Grand Jury.
Reforms Proposed.
among them are: A plan to dis
pine the convicts without so much
nogging; separate bathtub for each
convict; a system of numbering the
tothing so the convicts can have
.neir clothing changed when it goes
~ me wash; to provide a mess hall
70 Inc convicts will not have to eat
.n sleeping quarters; to remove the
Nght boxes from the bunkhouses and
pace them outside
neforn1 Inadequate, Says Wsltner.

A MAY BASKET.

Among other ways of celebrating
the first day of May is the giving or
May baskets. These are usually
small baskets with long handles and
are filled with flowers, candy and
dainty gifts and are hung ON the
front door knobs either very early
at dawn of day or after dusk so the
recipient will have to guess who be-
slowed the gift. In some countries
there is a May-walk, also, which is
A formal picnic with queen o'the
May at the head of the procession.
Just before May day there was a
basket on this editors writing table
neatly covered with light blue tissue
paper through which vivid colors
could be seen and on top was a bou-
quet of fragrant red pinks and sprays
or bleeding-hearts with their pretty
foliage. At the point of each Grim
son heart is a tiny white pendant
like frozen tears and these hearts
cling to the stem for weeks and
change to faint pink and then to a
dull purple that is quite pathetic.
When we had placed the flowers
in a vase and unpinned the filmy
Wrapping behold there was a lot Of
deep green spinach, clusters of flow
er-like radishes, lettuce hearts. 4
dozen eggs in nest and pound of
Jersey butter wrapped in oiled paper.
Was not that a May-basket to set be-
fore a Queen? And some of the eggs
and butter went into the lovliest
birthday cake any editor ever had.
And the May-basket came from Mrs.
{. NJ. Head because there could be
no installing "the fine Irish hand"
of her husband who wrote the ad-
dress
What delight to livein a beauti-
full home always full of green things
growing and with flocks of happy
fowls and pigs and contented cows,
not to mention the flowers and vines
and birds and butterflies. And vet
all these things cannot make a man
happy unless a woman presides over
them. The many make the house
hold but only one the home"

ORIGIN OF THE WORD DIXIE.
From The Christian Observer

From The Christian Observer.
In reviewing the history Of the
Citizens Bank of Louisiana. at New
Orleans. which was in 1911 convert
ed into the Citizens Bank & Trust
Company, theFinancial Times, of
London, tells of the interesting ori-
gin of the word Dixie" as applied TO
the South
The Times comments on the pros
perity of the old Citizens Bank. a few
of the unusual provisions of its char
ter and the manner in which the
institution weathered the storms
throughout the civil war, it SAYS:
The Citizens Bank was so closely
identified with the South that it gave
it the name, Dixie Land, " since pre-
served in the famous Southern war
song, Dixie. 1t came about in
this way; Prior to the Civil War
in the states the Citizens Bank had
the power to issue paper money notes
Just as the bank of England has to-
day. These bills were issued in the
denominations of $40 and $40. pre-
ferably $40 to the extent of a few
millions. They were known and good
all over the country These $40
bills were engraved in French and on
the back was the word DIX" very
prominent, and the ignorant Ameri-
cans living along the upper Mississip-
pi river, not knowing how to pro-
nounce the French word called the
bills DiXies, or Dixie Land.
Afterwards the term was made
to apply to all the Southern States

Experts declare that the reason

FEDERAL BANKING SYSTEM.

As successfully as at the launch ling of q ship where the ways have been properly greased and everything moves along without 8 hitch, the new national banking law was put into operation this week. It was a step Tor which preparation had been un- ,derwsy for a long period of time. It means the putting into effect or @saanges which have been demanded by conditions and the placing of the control under 8 system which is cen tralized in the federal board instead of distributed among individual banks throughout the country.
 It has been realized t1rougfout the preparation and enactment of the new legislation that a great deal depends npon the men selected to direct the new system and with the idea. of non- political, able management selections have been made, both as to the di- rectors of the regional banks and as to the central board.
 With a view to greater elasticity, that a sufficient supply Of money should be available for the business needs of the country at all times, that there should be a better distribution, or reserves available for such distrt- button, and that there should be a more even rate Of interest, this plan gives prospects of needed relief By the Improvements claimed, it should he able to overcome much Of the un- certainty, eliminate the tight money periods and establish a much more positive basis for handling the big or tho small volume Of business. It has now reached the stage where it's mer- it's are to be given the acid test.

A GREAT LEADER.

Great Britain has reason to mourn the loss of it's valiant and wise war strategisL, Lord Roberts, for far be- yond the bounds of that empire were the accomplishments and ability of that great leader known and admired. Though not shot down in battle dur ing the nine wars in which he par ticipated, it seemed destined that his end should come on the battlefield even though it was not as a participant or by ail enemy's missile that he was taken away.
 Not only through the years in which he saw service in the field, directing military operations on several con- tinents, but in the later years of his life even up to the time of his death was he devoting all his energies to Inc service of his country. He was a firm believer In constant preparedness and never shared in the idea that the limo of international peace had ar- rived. Conditions have demonstrated Ahe correctness of his policy. Events

eurlERREz,s POSITION.

It is said that If wishes were horses beggars might ride" and cer- tainly under those conditions Mexico would long ago have been extrioated from it's deplorable condition. For months now it has been wobbling be- tween a, firm determination to set up a government and establish peace, and the continuation of revolutionary tae- tics which have been so demoralizins to that republic. Even now it Is i'm possible to tell what the outcome Is going to be down there for while a truce has been declared in a second endeaxor to etraighten things out there is still present that disposition to fonent trouble instead of encour- aging peace,
 In his letter to this country Gutter reg, who is tine choice of the peace convention looks with confidence upon the course which he hopes to follow. Nothing more important is needed in Mexico than the thorough recognition of the fact, which he claims in his communication that the time of dic- tatorships born of violence and per sonal ambitions has passed forever, Such is what Mexico has lacked and in view of the fact that it has been impossible to set up even a, temporary stable government there, there is a grave question whether the time has really arrived that Gutierrez refers to- Certainly Carranza still stands in the way of it at the present time, even though such was what he fought long and hard for. Gutierrez seemingly stands in a position similar to that which Carranza bore to Huerta. He talks we'll, but in Mexico it is faT different thing when it comes to con trol.

A BAD EXAMPLE.

When Bouck White, an ordained minister with a church of his own, sought to debate with the pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church in New York city, during the Sunday morn ing service of the church several months ago. he set bad example. He gave warning of his intentions and made an effort to carry them out, but it resulted in his arrest and convic- tion on the charge of disturbing re- ligfous service, for which he served 8 term in jail.
 His sensational endeavor came at a time when other similar disturb ances were being caused in church meetings. Having completed his sen- tence and returned to his church, it is significant that in his first service an alleged anarchist should attempt to debate with him from the floor of the church during the morning service. As if inspired by the example of Mir White he sought to test him by the very same methods that MT. White employed, barring the advance notice that he intended to do so, and, strange to say, it was strenuously opposed There was no disposition upon the part of NIT. White to hear the mar then and there. His efforts were drowned out by singing, the service ended and the fellow was dragged from the church, and yet he had attempted nothing but what the preacher on a previous occasion had set the example for It was only what he had encour- aged by his own actions, but which when applied to himself in his own church he was quick to suppress. He refused to take the medicine which he prescribed for and attempted to force upon another. It was from start tl finish a bad example, set by one who knew better.
