WOMEN ARE TO GET

Illinois State Board of Administra-
ton Issues This Decree.
CHICAGO.-Equal suffragists were
iubilant today, according to Mrs.
Grace Wilbur Trout, president of the
Illinois Equal Suffrage Association,
over the action of the state board of
administration, which yesterday de-
creed that women employed in state
institutions shall receive the same
pay as men.
Mrs. Truot issued statement in
which she said that the new fecognf-
ton of the equality of women is an
answer to those who express doubt OF
the value of the franchise to women.
"IlIinofs women can vote, and stu
dents of political economy know that
no class of persons in history depriv-
ed of voice in the government ever
have received fair treatment by the
governmnt," said Mrs. Trout.

forced idleness during about four
months in the year. 1t is fact that
idleness breeds crime; busy people
seldom become criminals.
Of unclassified laborers we have a
total of 985. These are also subject
to periods of enforced idleness. A
study of the entire report on this line
will force the conclusion that people
who have regular employment are
not likely to become criminals.
Another interesting study is the
question of age. The number steed-
lily increases from 10 up to 22-the
numbers being Z and 210 respect
ively-when it begins to decline I'M
til at y only two appear. Life term
ers number 949.
One more item deserves notice. The
total cost of administering the prison
is $1O7,278.99, of which $25,717.63
is consumed by the pay rOll-being
nearly 25 per cent Or in other
words, every time we spend five dol
lars some employe takes out one for
his part Get the prison report and
read it; it will interest you.

islature had condoned such things at
a crisis had no little effect upon the
minds of rude frontiersmen in after
years. The precedent was remember
ed by men very different from the
law-abiding Quaker, and in situations
| having no semblance to the war of
independence. AS the rude frontier
OF civilization pushed gradually west
ward, its pioneers, always prone to
heady actions, justified many a high
handed deed and possibly many a
brutal murder by quoting the ire
proachable Lynch as an example, till
the details of this particular case
had been long forgotten, and his most
worthy personality had become a
symbol of infamy throughout the
English-speaking world.
Poor innocent Lynch has, in a SYM
bolical sense at least, grown more
| Odious with the march of time, and
never was more loudly and frequent
ly invoked as a man or horror than
in the present generation. He has
no defenders, poor man, being moth
ing but name once deservedly hon
ored and without living descendant.
Fortunately he and his family have
left a far wOrthier monument of
themselves to posterity than that of
adding term of ill-omen to the die
tionary. In short, they founded the
nucleus of a now thriving city,
Lynchburg, in Virginia.
The Founder of Lynchburg.
He acquired land on the Upper
James river, built house and start
ed ferry which by the time his sons
were grown had become the nucleus
of town automatically bearing the
family name, and with increasing i'm
portance to changing it from Lynch s
Ferry to Lynchburg.
The western county along the foot
of the Alleghanies was not like the
older and eastern half of Virginia.
1t had been settled through the first
half of the 18th century mainly by
Irishmen and an element of Germans,
Quakers and others who had fed
from unfair legislation or persecu-
ton in their own countries. 1t was
democratic, while eastern Virginia
was aristocratic, and purely English
in administration.
Fought Through the War,
1t was a regiment of mounted rife
men, composed mainly of these peo-
pie from his own district, that Lynch
led in the southern campaign against
CORVALLIS. He fought in most of it's
battles and was present with his eld
est son by Washington side at the
final surrender at Yorktown. After
III,
cording to the printed records of his
county of Bedford, led life of hon
orable utility, both public and pri-
vate, till his universally Iamented
death in 1895.
Such, in brief, is the true record
of man whose name, by strange
distortion of facts, stands in our Ian
guage for a form of punishment that
most of those who speak of it regard
with loathiEg and horror.

$4,000 TO STAND

About Only Appropriation By Gen
eral Assembly That Got Through
the Legislative Pitfall.

After the breaking up-not adj
journment-of the state legislature
it was found that the general appro-
priation bill had been knocked sky
ward.
The unanimous increase voted for
the Georgia Normal and Industrial
College, and considered a closed mat
ter, went down in the debris with the
rest of the wreckage.
About the only appropriation that
went through is that of 100000 APP
propriated for prison farm improve
ments. 1t will provide for sewage
disposal at the state farm and the
erection of more buildings to relieve
the ovrecrowded conditions.
The state sanitarium appropria-
tons, the state university and other
appropriations will all have to be

GEORGIA CRIMINOLOGY.
Junfus in the Dalton Citizen.

have been studying the 1915 re-
port of the Georgia prison commits
SION. Somehow the study of crime
and criminals, although a disagree
able subject, holds a fascinating in
terest for the mind, and careful an
alysis of criminal statistics may help
us to an understanding of some rath-
err unaccountable facts.
Cranky scientists spent a great
deal of time searching for the phi
losopher's stone and also for the Sc
cret of producing gold by artificial
means. Vast sums of money are now
being spent in the search for that
wonderful metal, radium, in the be-
lief that it will prove panacea for
almost all our physical ailments.
But in our search for these things
we are almost neglecting the mental
ills to which humanity is subject, and
about the only remedies we provide
against crime are the prison and the
mad house. However, my object in
this letter is to make public a few
criminal statistics which are not gen
orally known.
First, we are startled with the fact
that the entire prison population OF
Georgia on May 1st, 1915, was T.
376. OF this number 1922 were fell
ony convicts.
The whole number of misdemeanor
convicts on roads and at the farm to-
tails 1904. Quite a respectable stand
ing army this would make for the lit
file state of Georgia. If every state
in the union should furnish that
MANY men to the army we could face
orr enemies with an army of 334,-
| O4S men.
For the misdemeanor convicts no
statistics are given as to class OF
crimes but in the felony list some
interesting figures appear. For IN
stance, the total lawyers, doctors and
school teachers is only four, while
eleven ministers grace the list. May
he somebody can explain this; I can
not.
The figures on murder are start
ling: 939 muderers are the wards OF
tbe state. Capital punishment is evil
IDENTIFY unpopular in Georgia. 10
those figures may be added 1888 at
/ tempted murders. Consldei d Wy
more than one-third of our felo1y
convicts are murderers or WouId-Oe
murderers. s!.r
Now we come to the most dls@p-
! nointing fact of all. It is held thaC
farm life offers least incentive 70
cTime of all occupations, and that the
1 how on the farm is singularly nee
from criminal tendency and environ
mont Also that the farm is the prlH-
cipal fount of virtue from #hIcn ne TtIe

majority of the house was to prevent
action on the appropriations bill IN
order to force the governors hand.
Their declared position was to force
him to call an extra session whether
he wanted to or not, and then see if
they could force him to include pro-
hibition in his proclamation.
Governors Definite Stand.
The governor will not admit, while
he does not deny, that he will put
prohibition in his call. AS matter
of fact, the trend of his comment on
the situation would rather indicate
the contrary The definite statement
is that ne will include in the call the
appropriations bill provision for any
deficiency appropriations that may
arise in the interval as a result
of today's action of the legislature,
and one other thing is under cOnsid-
Grafton by him. He is debating in
mind whether or not he will include,
as Governor Smith did, a provision
for constitutional amendments now
pending, to submit them to vote
of the people and to pass legislation
upon such subjects" That he will
include this provision is highly prob
able, but has not been definitely stat
ed by him If he does it will be to
include Atkinson and Treutlen coun-
ty propositions and the provision for
constitutional amendment on the
Western and Atlantic parallel, which
was passed by the senate and not
handled by the house.
The fact that under that provision
some effort might be made to include
some sort of constitutional prohibit
ton. however, is causing thought on
the advisability of making it a part
of the call.
Senate Waiting When House Quit.
After the house had "disintegrat-
ed" today the senate was still in ses-
sion to do business and its president
had arbitrarily announced that he
would not consider a motion to ad-
iourn from anybody, that he and the
officers of the senate would remain
until midnight if nobody else did, but
he would put to vote to recess as
often as it was desired. Then the
matter of having the senate accept
the house mutilated appropriations
bill" as it was described, all in
lump and rushing it back to the house
for action was being considered and
a conference in the executive depart
ment was about to pass on that when
word was privately received that the
house had quit business and the mem
bers were leaving.
Another conference was held with
the governor and under the ruling
of the attorney general that nothing
the seate should do after the house
adjourned could become law, or be
effective in any way, it was decided
useless to hold the senate in session
any longer. President Persons made
a short address to the senate in which
he declared that the house had lille
gally adjourned, made it impossible
for the senate to do further business
and prevented the legality of any fur

Governor Debating What to In
clude in Call for Extra Session.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the flu
tility of any prohibition measures at
this session the house of representa-
tives Wednesday forced the calling of
an extra session upon Governor Har-
| ris by walking out of their chambers
for the session at l O'Clock before the
senate could get back for enrolment
and possible amendments the annual
appropriations bills. This was done
despite the protest of those members
who do not seem to have lost their
heads entirely.
The idea of the prohibitionists is
that now they have forced an extra
session they may be able to induce
Governor Harris to include the con-
lsideration of their pet measures in
his call for the extra session. Wheth-
err they will be successful in such a
bold and insolent move is entirely de-
pendent upon Governor Harris.
And as a result of the fight over
an ''ism," which amounted to very
little on June oath, Governor Harris
will call an extra session on Dec. list.
Treasury Is Depleted.
The governor was notified by the
treasurer that the state is, to that
extent, financially depleted, and if an
extra session should be called prior
to Dec. list there will be no money
in the treasury with which to pay the
per diem and other expenses. Yet in
the face of that condition an extra
session is an absolute necessity.
At the same time it is not at all
certain that the point" for which
the majority wing has played, and
because of which even a portion of
that wing has wrangled somewhat
among themselves and lost their orig
inal leader and strong advocate, will
be accomplished.

On the Menu at the Hot Suppers
of "Coondom" in the Rural Dis
tIicts. A MuIlet's Importance.
"Pop-eye mullet" will be added to
the menu cards of hundreds of ne
groes of the interior next week, and
the fact that a new season is at hand
is hailed with delight, as the advent
of the mullet is an even more import
ant occasion than the ripening time
of the watermelon.
Fish dealers have about concluded
arrangements for the opening of the
active season. The movement will
begin in earnest next week, though
the greatest activity is not expert
enced until the last days of August.
A Mullet's Importance.
The lowly mullet, probably most
despised of all fish, save perhaps the
catfish, however plays an important
part in the revenue producing COM
modities of the merchant, for while
surprising to the majority of people
it is none the less a fact that a good
many thousand cars are handled ev-
cry season, the values of which range
anywhere from $500 to 81, 900 a car.
Perhaps the most noteworthy fact
in connection with the movement of
this special kind of fish is that mullet
do not prove the best sellers until
the cotton season opens. The fish
dealers, therefore, make no special
preparation nor is there any demand
for the mullet until the first bolls of
cotton show their snow white con-
tents.
For Cotton PiCkers.
This is explained from the fact
that the farm negroes purchase large
quantities of fish. With the colored
people mullet is first choice, and the
dealers catering to this demand reap
rich returns. The closed season for
mullet, according to law, is from No
vember 20 to February 20. There is
during the open months more or less
offerings of mullet, but the recogniz-
ed season does not begin until mid
August.
From Florida.
A strange fact in connection with
the business, however, is that the
major portion of the stocks used is
secured from Florida waters. Fish
ing camps are maintained by the lead
ers in the business, and the express
is the means through which ''hurry
shipments" are secured, though as a
rule the mullet are packed in barrels
of ice and moved to a distributing
center in solid cars.

Snake Steals His Watch.

Overheated while cutting wood on
his farm at Kline's Grove, near Sun
bury, Pa, Charles r. Johnson, a we'll
known farmer, took off his vest and
hung it on low sapling. His watch
chain dangled near the ground. Hav-
ing occasion to go into the house, he
stayed a few minutes.
Returning, he put on his vest and
looked for his watch, but it was miss
ing. Blaming the theft on tramp,
he went into the house to tell his wife
of it, and when he returned he found
a huge blacksnake and killed it. A
suspicious lump prOtruded from its
stomach, and cutting the snake open,
he saw the watch roll out.
Johnson has the snake nailed to his
barn, it being feet 4 inches in
length. To doubling friends he de-
clared he was willing to make affi-
davit.

Frog In Raby's Stomach.


GOSHEN, Ind The Is month old
child of Mrs. Harry Wolf OF Chicago
is dead, following an operation which
disclosed conditions that many sur
geons had declared to be impossible.
While visiting her parents in SYRIA
cuse, Keosciusko county, last summer
Mrs. Wolf permitted the baby to drink
hydrant water. Within a short time
the infant became sick and lost flesh.
Treatment for indigestion was given,
but it did not reach the seat of the
trouble. Then an X-ray examination
disclosed a black spot on the stomach,
and an operation resulted in a frog
weighing more than half pound be-
ing taken from the infant.
Doctors who operated said they be-
lieved that when the child drank hyd-
rant water at Syracuse a tadpole was
taken into the stomach and the frog
developed and lived on milk, which
was given the patient in large guam
titles Following the operation the
child improved rapidly and complete
recovery was practically assured,
when pneumonia developed, causing
death.
