Emptving a Penitentiary.

Hon. Cole Blease, for four years governor
of South Carolina and who would have retir-
ed from that office today, sprung another
surprise by rendering his resignation on
Thursday. We have heard of a great many
things he has done during the four years,
one of which is that he has issued pardons or
paroles to 3,165 conVicts. In ante-bellum
days the Palmetto state did not have peni-
Tertiary. For some offenses a man was
whipped publicly, as is yet done in Della
ware; for the second commission of the
crime he was branded on the cheek with
red-hot iron; the third offending carried
him to the gallows. The South Carolinians
of that time said a state prison was waste
full expense.
We cannot venture at this distance and
with so little knowledge of the conditions
to say whether the wholesale clemency of
Governor Blease was not of wise nature.
The state prison population Of South Caro-
lima considered (for it is not large) the
number of pardons or paroles granted by
the retiring governor is indeed great and
calculated to arouse comment 1t must be
believed that he was profoundly impressed
with one or two things First, that the
South Carolina courts dispense more of in
Justice than justice, or that the criminal
code is unusually drastic as to penalties. He
may have planned to call attention, by his
wholesale clemency, to these conditions If
this be true the admonition is likely to be
affactiyn

IAN But Thou and Z"
From the Washington Post.

THE ordinary human being cannot help
telling a lie occasionally" said NJ A. Briss,
a lawyer of Columbus, Ohio. GA little while
ago was attorney for man in a libel suit
and the question of veracity was injected
into the proceedings. The other side called
an expert to prove that most everybody lies,
and he introduced some statistics. This
man declared that in six months he had
found that legislator in thirty interviews
had lied ten times. A doctor whom he had
interviewed told fourteen lies in twenty
five meetings, and a young lawyer in forty,
conversations had departed from the truth
twenty-five times An older advocate falsi-
fed twenty-eight times in forty converse
tions. Out of ten remarks by banker
five we're untrue, and one literally true state
ment was made with intention to mislead.
A grocer in fifteen talks lied forty times,
and the mans grandmother, he said, man
aged to get in seven falsehoods in eight con-
versatiOns.
Young married women, according to this
expert are more prone to tell little lies than
Others for the young woman whom he had
kept tab on told untruths fifteen times in
eleven calls. In six months this mans SER
want girl, he declared, told $50 lies. In all
he had kept account of 377 conversations,
and there were 324 lies. Of this number
100 were traceable to vanity; so were told
to advance the speakers personal interests,
fifty were put forth to conceal some embar
RAISING defect, fifty to injure some other
person, and sixty to make excuses for not
doing what had been promised"

Is Everybody Doing II?

Writers and public speakers are fond of
telling us that the world is growing better,
but the long and increasing list of inspectors
of various sorts in the public employ to see
that some Americans do not swindle other
Americans does not comport with that view.
Pure food and drug inspectors try to pre-
vent makers of food and drugs from de-
ceiving the public about what they sell,
postof1ce inspectors are constantly busy
trying to prevent the use of the mails by
swindlers, and now the Savannah News tells
us it is planned to station United States in
spectors in the live poultry terminals in New
York city to prevent sellers from stutfing the
crops of chickens with sand to increase their
weight and hence cheat the buyers. Appar
emily the buyers and sellers are not willing
to trust inspectors hired by themselves, but
think that if the government does the in
specting, through its agents, there will be
less opportunity for cheating. Not every
body, as our contemporary says, is dishonest
in business. hu+ 4 great many persons are
dishonest and do seek to swindle the ignor-
ant It is likely that the number of inspec-
tors will continue to increase for long
time to come.

THE EUGENTC BABY.
Fron the Savannah News.

The first baby born Of parents who were
married under the provisions of the Wis
consin eugenics law is a husky boy, very
much like husky boys whose parents did not
receive the O. K of eugenists. He is big
fellow for his age, fat and in the eyes OF
his parents no doubt the finest baby in the
whole world, but he deserves a great deal
of sympathy anyhow, although not quite SO
much as if he were a girl Think Of the
hopes that center in him, and Of the stand
ards he is expected to live up to! The eyes
of eugenists and anti-eugenists everywhere
are fixed on him. They will follow his
growth inch by inch. He will be constantly
under the microscope, as it were, and all OF
him from his chest measurement to his
bright sayings will be used as texts by both
groups.
If he reaches manhood splendid in ply
sique, in mind and in moral fiber the eugen-
lists will say, Now you see! we were right
about it, Hurrah for engenics!" And if
he comes to manhood a listless sort of be-
ing, without spunk, without moral back
bone and without even good health the
anti-eugenists will chortle, I'VE told you
so! We expected It'll" What heavy bur-
den is on the shoulders of that baby! The
little mite does not know what future is
before him, that the very circumstances of
his birth have set apart from ordinary Da-
bies, whose parents fell in love and were
married without having been told that from
a scientific viewpoint they were the sort o.
parents all children should have.
The baby, the eugenists hope, will be call
ed Eugene, but his future will be burden
some enough without using the childs name
to continually remind him of the perfection
that is demanded of him. The thought
comes that if he is called Jim or Jack and
is not told that he is supposed to be
shining example of the success or failure of
a great theory he will be happier, will be
more nearly q normal boy. If those who
hope he will be a world-beater praise his
good points too much and belittle his short
comings he is likely to be a spoiled little
prig.
If he is spoiled it will be very good evil
dence that it takes more than a high grade
in a physical examination to fit men and
women for parenthood. 1t is pretty hard
for doctors to say whether folks who come
to them for examination under the eugenics
law have common sense, which is the best
quality parents can have and without which
they are likely to rear children of whom
eugenists will not be proud. 1t is the duty
of parents, Of course, to give their children
a heritage of good health if they can, but
that is only the beginning of their duty.
Little Eugene or Jim, whatever his name be,
may have a good start, but there are long
years Of life ahead of him yet before it can
be said that he will be a success or a fail
ure. and before the eugenists can crow over
his victories or the anti-eugensts point to
his defects

Fewer Immigrants Coming.

One immediate result of the war is that
our immigration problem has become less
pressing, and has taken on new aspects.
During the first four months of the present
fiscal year. which include the first three
months of the war, the total number OF i'm
migrants was 1877 ,642; in the corresponding
months year ago it was 594,S11. The de-
crease continues, and it is likely to continue
as long as the war lasts. Moreover, the re-
turn flow has taken from the country thous-
ands of young men, who have gone back to
Europe to fight.
The decline has its advantages. Most
people are of the opinion that the coming Of
a million or more immigrants every year
has constituted danger to the country. We
have had more than we can Americanize,
and now the war has stepped in and for
time solved the problem. Both houses of
congress have passed a. measure looking to
the permanent restriction of alien immigra-
ton to the United States, but it is threaten
ed with the presidential veto. 1t is believed,
however and it is certainly to be hoped,
that it will survive the opposition at the
white house.

THE FARMER.
BY Ray /. Hoppman.


The farmer is a happy man, he lives" as
only farmers can, where natures on display
He may not know the citys ropes, as open
eyed and green he gropes along the Great
White Way. He gets up early in the morn
to feed the hens and pluck the corn beneath
the clear blue sky. When people say that
there's charm in living on well kept
farm | do not wonder why. He gets fresh
grub right from the soil and labors at an
honest toll with happy mien and vim. He
has his barn well filled with hay and gets
unwatered milk each day. Oh! how L envy
him. His good wife baketh homemade
pies that bring the lustre to his eyes OF ap-
Die. pumpkin. mince. The man who lives
upon the farm, where ROSTERS crow the
morn alarm, is equal to a prince He knows
Dame Nature to a "T," and how to treat
each shrub and tree-each flower, plant and
bud If food goes up he does not care. His
bin is filled with garden Ware-the onion
and the spud. He has a "hoss" to take him
when he must go to town again to sell his
choice produce. He sits within his bunga-
low and makes his healthy ''physog" glow
by drinking apple juice. He lives the back
to nature" life, away from city noise and
strife, where songbirds gaily sing. To live
within the city, where there's premiums on
clear fresh air, would make his belfry ring.
He may not measure up to snuff on city ways
or Broadway bluff, nor know the latest
slang Why should he worry? He's got his.
He's happy in the farming biz. So let
the town go hang.

Still Full of Fight.

Both branches of congress have declined
to submit to the states for ratification an
amendment to the constitution giving the
ballot to women. Nevertheless, the suffra-
gist leaders say they are going to continue
trying, believing they will eventually be sue
cessfuI
The question for votes for women is hav-
ing a disturbing effect upon political parties.
That is evidenced by the fact that some Of
the republican leaders are lining up on the
affirmative side of it, among them Mr.. Mann.
the minority leader of the house, who sup
ported the woman suffrage resolution. The
democratic leaders, or most Of them, believe
it is q state and not federal question, and
in that view all Of the Georgia congressman
concur. as not one of them voted for the
measure.
II congress should pass a constitutional
amendment it is not at all probable that
three-fourths Of the states would ratify it.
The people would have to be converted first
to the belief that women should have the
ballot
The women OF Georgia do not want the
ballot and the men are too gallant to force
It on them.

About the TERRIBLE Turk.
From the Worlds Work.

The popular Western conception Of the
Turkish army is something in the nature of
a wild Zouave marshaled in battalions and
fired with a fanatical, homicidal mania
But nowhere in Turkey will you find such a
conception realized. The great majority of
Ottoman regulars are singularly plain, I'M
picturesque, unpretentious soldiery. On
their heads they wear either gray bashlkys
wound turbanwise, or plain fezes or ''kal-
pakas'' of a yellowish brown color CORES
ponding to their German-made uniforms of
rough wooden cloth. Their legs are wound
in a bulky way with the same material in a
Turkish conception of a puttee, and on their
feet either short boots or the soft leather
moccasin-like shoes of the Balkans give
them a comfortable agricultural look.
Singly or in bulk there is nothing at all
smart about them but they look exceeding
ly equal to the delivery of the goods. Alto
gether they appear as well able to fade in
distinguishably into the landscape as any
thing human could. Many of them are Ana
tolians and some are ruddy-faced Kurds
from the Caucasus; others come from the
Taurus mountains, back of Knonia and Alep-
pc, swarthy Syrians and Arab types. Any
one of them will fight at the drop of a hat
He would not have to change anything.
There is nothing about him to polish or to
be kept clean. AS he stands he sleeps and
eats, drills, marches and goes into battle.
