HE UNDERSTOOD

An automobile was going up the
mountain. A man, driving a team
Of. mules, was coming down.
There was not room enough, to
pass, and, of course, the motorist
felt that it was up to him to back
down and give the mules right of
way. But there was an obstacle. In
the back seat of the automobile sat
a woman, the wife of the driver.
You'll not back down." she said.
But my dear, the man can't back
his mules up the mountain"
81 don't care. Well not back
down."
There was a pause, then the man
with the mules sighed, shook hands
with the motorist and, looking to-
ward the woman, said:
"That's all right, old man. I'll back
the mules up the mountain. I've got
one just like that at home"

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, WELL
KNOWN NEGRO, DEAD
Tuskegee, Ala, Nov. 15.-Booker
T. Washington, leader of the negro
people and principal of the Tuskegee
Institute for Negroes, died yesterday
as a result of a nervous breakdown.
He was believed to be Sc or 81 years
old, but no one knew the date OF his
birth His funeral will be held at the
Tuskegee Institute Wednesday morn
ing.
Booker T. Washington was born
on a plantation near Hale's Ford, a
slave. His father is believed to have
been a slave from neighboring plan
tation. AS the boy had no last name
he adopted the name Washington
when he first went to school.
When the slaves were freed in 1865
he went to work in a coal mine to
support his mother and himself.
Hearing Of the Hampton Institute,
Virginia, he walked 500 miles, was
admitted to the classes and did
chores and janitor work for his Hv-
ing. While in Hampton he conceived
the idea, which he worked out in
Tuskegee, of an industrial school for
negroes.

REMEMBER THE MAINE.

VIII there be another destruction
of the Maine? Some OF the editorial
expressions OF the country say there
will be, and predict that the United
States will become involved in this
world wide war. II is reasoned out
that an American vessel with its
passengers will be destroyed, and the
cry OF Remember the Maine will
be heard in this country again, and
the people will demand retaliation.
Ii does not seem reasonable that
such a thing could occur England
started in TO starye Germany TO death,
the German empire either had TO
submit TO starvation or TO retaliate
and the people Of this country will
conclude that it had right TO re-
taliate rather than to submit to the
starving OF its people.
Germany's retaliation was begun by
a declaration that the waters sur
rounding England would be in a war
zone. that vessels entering do so at
their peril. Sufficient notice was
given to the shipping interests Of
the world before the zone was de-
clared.
While both nations will be held to
a strict accountability to the United
States. yet the American people at
this time feel that II vessels enter
the war zone they do so at their
own risk and are not entitled to a
form of protection that would mean
war for this country. Germany is
using its best efforts TO protect AM
erican vessels, and there would be
so much difference between the de.
struction of a vessel in the war zone
from the wanton destruction OF the
Maine that war zone destruction
would not arouse the people of this
country to point where war would
be demanded.

A MESSENGER BOY.

He was Just a mite of a boy and
with his mother occupied rooms in
the basement OF their mortgaged
home so greater revenue could
be derived from the renting of crops.
To add to the income of the family,
the boy was working as a messenger
for the Western Union Telegraph
company. While out on an errand,
his bicycle collided with an auto
mobile. his head was thrown against
the track OF the street railway, and
the boy was killed. The coroner's
Jury said he was on the wrong side
OF the street and no one was TO
blame for the loss.
But the Western Union. which has
established a benefit plan, did not
ask who was responsible for his
death. The boy was gone and that
was enough. The benefit plan does
not include messenger boys, but the
precedent was established in this case
and the big telegraph company ad-
anced to the widowed mother what
the boy would have drawn in salary
checks for three years The money
was not given TO the woman to be
used as she liked, but the mortgage
on the home was paid, surgical at
tention was given to child in the
family and the balance was placed
in trust, to be used at the rate of
500 a month.
The incident occurred in Kansas
City, and illustrates the difference in
the attitude OF great companies to-
ward their employees now, from what
it was few years back, and ii shows
that the Western Union is taking the
lead in the work, as it made its
benefit plan extend to the boys
mother, when under the original plan
the messenger boys were excluded.

SYSTEM OF REWARDS

The state highway department
should hire convicts from the state.
prison department in exactly the
same way as it would hire free Ia
borers. and at the same price per
day. During the hours of work the
men should not be thought of as con-
yicts. but simply as employees of the
highway department. No payment
should be made for a single hour
not worked and a man discharged
should be removed at once and per
manently. while the highway depart
ment should have no responsibility
for nor authority over the convicts
at any time nor in any manner except
to conduct their work or to discharge
them"
This need for co operation between
the state highway and state prison
departments is strongly urged in a
report made TO the New York state
highway department by David j..
Shorer. who was in charge of the
convict road work in Green county,
New York, during the summer Of
1914.
Mr.. Shorer's practical experience
has demonstrated the Importance of
the recommendation for cooperation
between the highway and prison de-
partments in conducting convict road
work. which the national committee
on prisons and prison labor has ad-
vocated for a number of years and
has been instrumental in embodying
into the laws of the state OF West
Virginia.
The work in Green county, New
York. was carried on under most diff
ficult conditions. The men arrived at
the camp before the organization and
equipment were completed. They
were sent there without regard to
their suitability for the work and
almost one fourth were totally unfit
and had to be returned TO the prison.
ARRANGEMENTS for feeding the men
were unsatisfactory, while winter
made efficient work impossible fully
two weeks before they were removed
from that camp.
In spite OF these difficulties Mr.
Shorer reports that, taking the SO
conyicts who were retained at the
camp. and comparing them with u
civilians also working at the camp.
the convicts averased better than the
civilians and as good as any ordi-
nary contract gang Under proper
conditions he maintains there will
be- no difficulty in using conyicts for
this type Of work with good results
for the money expended
The national committee on prisons
and prison labor calls special aJten
tion to this report and its conclusion
that two factors are essential TO the
success OF convict road work. Re
sponsibiity for administration must
be placed in the hands of those COM
peteut to meet IL. and the men en-
couraged through a system Of re-
wards so that they feel they have
something TO gain through good
work.
