WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Senator
Hoke Smith has Joined Congressman
William Schley Howard in demand
ing a probe of conditions at the Unit
ed States Penitentiary in Atlanta,
Senator Smith in his public utter
ances consistently has RETAINED from
any comment indicating his attitude
in respect to the prison scandal, bat
he made it plain in q letter sent TO
the Civil Service Commission that
he considered it imperative that a
thorough investigation of affairs at
the prison be made.
He cited the fact that seven guards
had been discharged from the peni-
Tertiary in December and suggested
that this was a circumstance that
called for an Immediate inquiry by
the commission.
This investigation, IL made upon
the demand Of Senator Smith and
Congressman Howard. will be entire
ly Independent of any made by the
Department of Justice or by a Con-
greSSlon1l committee.
Morse Allowed to Gamble.
Charles w. Morse. the ice trust
head, has been brought into the In
yestigation it became known Friday,
through information gwen to the De-
partment of Justice that he was ac-
corded every facility to continue his
stock manipulations while in the pen
itentiary. in defiance of all the prison
rules, and that he was in other re-
spects one of the favored convicts.
Additional charges were contained
in a letter written to the Department
of Justice by Ovid V. Shaw, a for
mer guard at the prison, who now is
living in Washington.
Shaw represents that he was forced
out of his job at the prison because
of the Vaccinations of an unscrupu-
lous clique the members of which
preferred charges against him. He
was suspended while the charges were
being investigated, he says, and then
after his dismissal the only way he
could get back home to his family was
through the kindness of the board OF
charities.
Ex-Guard Names Clique.
The exguard named as members
of the CLIQUE Captain Tucker, Guar I'd
Guerney, Guard Evans, Guard Nc
Clure, Guard Cobb Night Captain
Schoen and others. Shaw told of acts
of unnecessary harshness he had wit
messed on the part of some Of the
guards.
His letter continues:
From April 4. 1912, tn Sep
TENDER IS OF last year (excepting
few weeks when I was sus-
pended) ] was guarding. during
which time a general complaint
was made by prisoners to me and
other guards about their not hav-
ing enough to eat--no sugar and
their bread raw. One prisoner in
particular. whose name Is Bun
van Bradley $50. with HON I
came in daily contact. because he
was engaged in moving grass
abo.t the wardens lawn and
field where | was guarding pris-
oners, stated that he could hardly
stand up on what he ate for
breakfast--a few "grits'
because Of this faction, dis
sension arose among the guards
and subofficials and persons Nv
ing in proximity TO the prison
because they were dependent up
on the guards for a livelihood, in
that they ran boarding houses ex-
clusively for them, and conse-
uuently the whole prison was
thrown out of harmony, involv-
ing the murde" OF Connors, the
prosecution Of Vance and my dis
lnissal from the service.

And now Indianapolis produces federal judge
who rules that the workers for street railway COM
pany for private profit may not strike if con-
ditions and pay are not satisfactory.
This ruling, too, like the anti-picketing ruling in
Chicago, carefully postponed until AFTER
election when abors chance to protest at the polls
was far removed.
We must expect lot of such rulings, now that
standpatism thinks it is cock of the walk.
Very well; they will simply hasten the pendulum
swing the other way
History teaches one uniform story. Toryism never
learns.

The Kind Of Teaching That
Is Remembered

One night, in big city, lone woman, wearing a
gold bracelet studded with diamonds hoop ring
set with five diamonds three gold rings set with two
diamonds, diamond brooch and gold bracelet set
with three diamonds, was displaying her $500
worth of gems beneath bright lights when she was
seized by a rude person, chicken and robbed.
The rude person was promptly caught, the loot
was recovered, the community duly thrilled and
shocked and the machinery of the law set in
swift motion to rush the robber to long term in the
"pen,' whereupon society breathed sigh of relief
Nobody apparently thought to ask why any wo-
man, in the midst of unemployment and want, should
go about at night looking like walking advertise
ment of jewelry store and unconsciously inviting
robbery.
The jewels were hers by every right and title of
man-made laws. Why shouldn't she flaunt them if
she wanted to?
Perhaps she won't want to again.

Lords and----

Of course it's regular and all right, but it does
sound funny to hear King George open parliament
with, e.
"My Lords and gentlemen =
Should President Wilson, in addressing congress,
say, Senators and gentlemen" there would, be
folks who would take it that gentlemen" applied
to members of the house only. But King George is
right. The lords are his. A king can made lord,
but no king can make gentleman.

Newspaper Don'ts

Don't take your home paper. 1t is
the most active and powerful factor in
building up your town, and to support
it would involve you in the work.
Don't pay for it if ron take it. News
papers are run on wind, and the editor
wouldn't keen the money anyway.
He'd most likely pay it on his bills.
Don't fail to tell the editor how to
run the paper. He has nothing to do
but to listen and keep his temper sweet
Don't put your name to what you
want published. It's the EDITORS BUSH
ness to espoese unpopular causes and
take your chestnuts out of the fire.
What hurts your business might also
hurt his--but that's different.
Don't notify the editor when you
change your postotlice address He
may lose track OF yon and you will es-
cape paying the last two or three years
Of your subscription.
Don't forget to write on both sides
of the paper. The printers might for
get how to swear.
Don't write your communications
legibly Deciphering them keeps the
editor busy and he is able to make an
occasional blunder, which promotes
good feeling all around.
Don't imagine that the newspaper
man has anything to do. Newspapers
print themselves and the ravens feed
the printers.

There are 10000 known varieties of
flies in the world. A single house fly
lays 100 eggs in excrement, rotten re-
fuse. etc. The maggots hatch in six or
eight hours and the maggots become
flies in eve or six days. The life cycle
of fiy in midsummer is ten DAYS. So
a single fly may have 100 children, Ia,
400 grandchildren, l,72s.oOo great
grandchildren. eo7, 100000 great great
grandchildren within two months.
What the married ones are capable of
