Miss Emma Davis then gave a most
excellent talk on Prison Reforms"
topic In which she Is well vcrsod
and Thoroughly Interested She spoke
of her visits TO the penitentlary OF the
state at Moundsyille and the conditions
existing there. and reports that the
officials OF that institution arc fairly
awake to the best methods of the times,
that the prison is rapidly being put
In a class with the most up-to-date
penal institutions OF our country, and
that the reforms which she advocates
are being taken up by those in au-
thority us fast as conditions will allow.
The chaplain Of the penitentiary
gave the following statistics, which
seem to prove that illlteracy is the
primal cause OF crime: Out OF 1000
men. sixteen per cent could neither
read nor write. thirty-four per cent
could barely read or write. thirty-ninc
per cent had only reached the fifth or
sixth grade when leaving school.

Only three per cent of the conyicts
were high school graduates. and among
the 1000 men. only seven were col
lege graduates.
Forty.per cent OF the men in prison
are negroes. and as tho percentage
of negroes In the state Is only FIVE and
hree-tenths per cent, this Is warn

1000 volumes. and the books are at
the service OF the prisoners to such
an extent that each man Is accredited
with having used on an average OF
fifty books a year. The schools
OF the prison are eagerly attended,
and an effort is being made to ar
range them so that every prisoner
roay have the advantage of them.
As it Is now. life termers are exclud-

THE CANNING INDUSTRY

Baxter Beck is getting ready
to put his home cannery into OPP
Grafton and will put up any kind
of fruit or vegetables for the pub
lie, but mainly peaches and to-
matoes. Those who have fruit or
vegetables to can, and do not care
to bother with it themselves, will
do well to turn the work over to
Baxter and see how easily and
cheaply it can be done. Large
quantities of tomatoes that have
heretofore been allowed to rot in
the garden can easily b e pre-
served for winter use, and so with
peaches and berries. Give this
matter a trial, thereby encoura-
ging an enterprise that might
grow and be of vast benefit to the
community. Most successful en-
terprises have small beginning.

IDEAS BORN IN THE WEST
San Francisco Newspaper Thinks
sttle Of Imagination Displayed
by the East.

Like so many western ideas, the
jitney is gradually making its way
eastward. 1t has reached Philadel-
phia, it is an issue in Washington.
1t is dipping its tires in the surf at
Atlantic City. The East never had
imagination enough to invent such
a simple matter as the jitney.
The jitney is merely an illustra-
ton. There are no new ideas of any
KIND IN the East, except ideas among
a limited circle concerning ways of
getting peoples money away from
them. The West is Americas great
idea factory. The West can invent
and popularize everything necessary
from the jitney to the judicial recall.
The East is classic, the West roman
tic; the East is tory, the West lib
eral; the East stands pat, the West
keeps hopping right along.
New York city is not the nations
literary, artistic and musical GEN.
ter; it merely happens to have its
hands on money enough to buy lit
erature, art and music, which is
quite different. thing. The New
York idea ought to be dethroned.
Why should New York pass on our
plays and our books and our public
policies when it hasn't sense enough
even to invent jitney? New York
ought to get down on its knees and
thank heaven that there is a West to
furnish the salt to give it such SAVIOR
as it has.-San Francisco Bulletin.

have to say. Mr. Kruttschnitt, exec
utive head of the Southern Pacific.
has written an article dealing with
the financing of railroads. He said
in part:
"The financing OF a railroad is a
function which the people, through
their servants, the Railroad Commits
sioners and the Legislators, have
never attempted, but it is a most i'm
portant problem, especially to sec
tons Of a State where new railroads
are needed. The placing Of securities
has been left entirely with the po-
moter and owner of railroads.
THE immediate determination Of
what earnings the railroad shall b.
permitted to receive and what buzz
dens it shall have put on 1t Is in the
hands'sof other servants Of the public
