What would the prisoners 10 if they could
themselves keep the value of this surplus.
Many of them would send the surplus, or part
OF it, to their wives and children.
But do prisoners ever stop to think of wives
and children?
Are they really human like the rest of us,
When think of prisoners, we are apt to
think of them merely as prisoners. aren't we?
We forget that they first of all human and
last Of all human. And don't think much about
their human relations about the things that make
life dear to them. about home and families.
What is happening in those homes and to those
families while the prisoners in PRISON.
In most cases it the prisoners who kept
the homes and the families going.
When society seized the prisoners and threw
them into prison. it forgot all about those homes
and families. Society thought in each case, it
was just taking man and furnishing a man, an
individual
But there is such thing as an individual
man. There is no such thing as an individual of
any human kind. An individual is an illusion,
myth Each individual is part of other indiyidu-
ais.
If it can be said of any individual that he Is
not part of other individuals he is the most for
lorn creature in the world an anomaly, an express
sion of disease. being to be pited and helped.
When society throws prisoner into prison, in
flicting on him dire punishment, it takes other
people there, too.
1t Furnishes those others horribly
In many cases it removes the means whereby
those others live.
1t starves those others. 1t makes them 70 ill.,
clad 1t throws on them all the miseries that fol-
low from being ill-elad and hungry.
Society does this thing because this thing is
supposed to be fine thing to do.
Among other things society confscates the
earnings that belong to those other selves of prs-
oners the beings dependent on them.
And why does society make this horrible mis-
take.
For it is only mistake. If society realized it
would do differently. Society has no ill-feeling
about it.
Years ago all -feeling in the matter disappear
ed. At any rate. l like to believe that years ago
it disappeared One surely doesn't hear any more
about ill-feeling
Society does these things because it doesn't stop
to think about them.
At prison that I occasionally visit they are
going to give the prisoners more work.
The prisoners will manufacture all the supplies
used in public buildings. They will directly serve
the State. In this way they will avoid competing
before the public with the labor unions.
Here is good change. The prisoners will have
a chance to learn trades and to become more
servieeable members of society.
Meanwhile. however. their earnings viii be con.
6seated. Those dependent on them will have no
share

Prison labor is, of course, gratuity. 1t is
provided by the prisoners for nothing
In other words the State conhscates the labor
Of the prisoners.
Now. many people regard such coniscation as
just. They maintain with some reason that the
prisoners ought to pay the State for their keep
and lodging. Prisoners who work surely do that
And where, happens in many prisons, they
work every day. for long stretch. making each
day working day. they surely earn more than
their board and lodging.

HOLIDAY RUSH
AT POSIoFFICE
EVIDENCE OF THE APPROACHING
HOLIDAYS NOTED IN ACTIVITY
IN MAILING ROOM
Local POstOffice Preparing for Heavy
Christmas MaiIs-Stickers or Stamps
VIII be Allowed

The local postoffice is preparing for
evidence that the next few weeks will
find an unprecedented rush of both
incoming and outgoing mail. AS soon
as the parcel post service becomes pro-
nounced, Postmaster Cornwall will ar
range a special window for handling
this business Now is the time to en-
phasize the usual precautions in send
ling out mail packages. The sender
should have the package wrapped SOL
idly and securely and tied with heavy
string. The name and address should
be plainly written on the package as
well as the name and address of the
sender Where it is possible pack
age should be weighed and stamped
before being brought to the postoffice
window, at any rate if not, have it al
ready prepared for weighing and
stamping SO as to avoid congestion.
According to a bulletin received by
Postmaster Cornwall, Postmaster
General Burleson has suspended the
postal regulation making packages un-
mailable when they bear stickers or
stamps other than government posters
on the address side. This will permit
those who purchase Red Cross stamps
to attach them to parcels without fear
Of having the packages held up. In
suspending the regulation, however.
the postmaster general particularly
requested patrons to cooperate with
the department and not to affix such
stamps on the address side. The sus-
pension will remain in effect to Jan
uary !, inclusive.

The announcement that a company

COW. The Rhodes harvester is a prod
uct that has been under manufacture

and has been tried out in the grain
fields of this county in a number of
instances with marked success.
