The last showing of "Fatherhood" and Neal of the Navy will be at the Lamara Theater today. Both of these pictures are thrilling from every view point. The one deals with the great American desert, the sand worn slopes of Arizona's mountains, and the baked patches of dry land that have been the stamping grounds of the cowboys for many years past. The other deals with the Vasty deep and the proud navy of the United States that rides upon it's bosom. The pictures make a splendid program.

Washington, the Capital, VIII patrotcally
celebrate tomorrow the birth IS3 years ago OF
Washington, the Nations first President. The
day will be observed with more or less ceremony
throughout the country but nowhere with quite
the fervor that this city will evince in paying
homage to the memory OF the great patriot,
soldier and statesman whose name was given to
the Capital of the nation, toward the foundation
OF which his strength and wisdom contributed
so magniicently In the almost two centuries
that have elapsed since the birth of George
Washington the United States has become great
world power. At peace today its place may well
be regarded as at the head OF all the nations of
the earth. Its destiny looms grander and more
inspiring than any previous anniversary OF the
birth OF the Father of His Country that it has ever
celebrated The greater problems now confront
ing it are not its own problems. except so far as
they concern its duty toward the peoples engaged
in the greatest conflict OF all times. 1t is time
when these words OF Washington. who was no
greater in war than in peace, apply with striking
force:
1.-THE nation prompted by i'll will and resent
lment sometimes impels to war the government,
contrary to the best calculations of policy. The
government sometimes participates in the national
propensity and adopts through passion what
reason would reject. At other times it makes
projects of hostility instgated by pride, ambition
and other sinister and pernicious motives. The
peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty. OF ma
tons has been the victim Against the
insdiuous wiles OF foreign influence q conjure
you to believe me- fellow ctizens) the jealousy OF
"a free people ought to be constantly awake, since
history and experience prove that foreign lntu-
cnce is one of the most baneful foes of Republican
government"
On this anniversary the American people have
reason to be thankful because their countrys
course amid the difficulties which now beset 1t
as the result OF the conflict abroad, is guided by
the calm Judgment of Woodrow Wilson and his
firm determination to preserve peace at home with
due regard to the rights OF the United States. and
do equal justice to the nations now unfortunately
at war; In the same spirit his countrymen will
do reverence tomorrow to the immortal American
whose name adorns the proud pages of its early
history.

NEW WAYS IN SING SING.
Honor System Prevails and Con
victs May Write Letters.

Warden Osborne gives his prisoners
| unlimited use of the United States mail.
Until very recent times the inmates in
Sing Sing were allowed to write only one
letter a month.
After five years in prison. IL there were
no black marks against you. you We're
allowed to write one letter a week
| Needless to say. a man in prison who
/ is only allowed to write one letter a
month has lost all of his friends inside
of five years, and there is no one to write
| to. He is dead to the world
II the intent of the old prison system
| had been TO render a man absolutely
| unfit for a useful life as citizen 1t could
\ not have done better.
| 1t stabbed the soul of the man. and he
became helpless walking mummy.
ANY prisoner in Sing Sing who trans
crosses the rules is tried by q court COM
! posed of his peers.
! Prisoners apprehend him. prisoners try
! him. prisoners find him guilty, IL such Is
\ the case
| lie then has the privilege of appealing
! to a court of which the warden is chair
man. But thus far every sentence Of the
court made up OF inmates has been af-
firmed by the warden with but one ex-
1 ception.
The men in prison seem to have q bet
| ter sense OF justice on the whole than
! the men who are out. One thing, they
| have time to consider a case from every
standpoint.
A single prisoner exalted to a position
! OF power might be tyrannical. but a Jury
made up of prisoners is always lenient.
Yet these men realize that their hap
piness turns on making life tolerable for
the warden and his immediate assistants:
that is, IL they make life difficult for
the people the State has placed over
them they, in turn. will suffer.
The inmates are more interested in
making the honor system a success than
is the outside world. These prisoners
have more at stake than Warden Osborne
has. and they cooperate with him In
every possible way.
The intelligence and influence among
the inmates is focused on making the
dreams of Warden Osborne come true,
this just as a matter OF self-interest.
They realize that they are trying out
an experiment which is being watched
by every warden in the United States

Senator Root, in opposing the increase OF pay
Tor clerks to Senators and Representatives, de-
cared that if increase in salaries TO be given
they should go 10 the undcrpaid employees in the
executive departments The assertion that the
government clerks arc undergrad no longer meets
contradiction in Congress. 1t is recognized a
fact. Some day. it is to be hoped members OF the
Senate and House will realize that it their duty
TO see that the civil employees Of the government
are justly compensated for their services. Money
that is extravagantly appropriated for all of
projects matter of fact belongs to these clerks
and the government has no right to withhold it
from them.
