THOMAS MOTT OSBORNE

Thomas Mott Osborne. the "golder
RUE" warden of Sing Sing prison. New
York, has resigned his position at that
institution, driven. he says, by the
Vaccinations of politicians and pris-
on graft"
His work, since he became warden
in November 1914. has shown clearly
the soundness of his principles and
presages the dawn of a new era in
prison methods. 1t is Mr.. Motifs firm
belief that humanitarianism will sup
plant the selfiishness, distrust and po-
litical jobbery which characterize
phases of the present system. He re-
CARDS most criminals as being merely
mentally or morally ''unwell" and has
proved by his reforms at Sing Sing
that better results are obtained
through decent treatment, exercise and
compassion, than by ironclad discipline
and punishment.
The Osborne system at Sing Sing
has proved its efficacy. The output
of the prison industrial plants has
increased one-fifth. Development of
insanity has been reduced by half. The
number of cases of insubordination re-
ported for disciplinary punishment
was more than cut in two. Although
much freedom was permitted the in
mates, there was no increase in the
percentage of attempted escapes. The
honor system" of permitting prison
ers to attend funerals of relatives was
seldom abused.
Thomas Mott Osborne is not the los
er through the severing of his re.a-
tions with the country's greatest penal
institution. In a sense, his work there
is finished. He has demonstrated be-
yond challenge the efficiency and prac-
ticability of his humanistic methods at
Sing Sing. He now has the whole
country as laboratory for his endeav-
ors. And everywhere there is need of
the splendid work to which he is de-
voting his life.

AMERICAS GREAT DANGER

That the danger of America is in
considering itself too grown-up when
in reality its gravest problem is that
of completing the process of nation
building was the theme taken by Mich
olas Murray Butler in a recent ad-
dress. And it is the theme which en-
phasizes the over cock-suredness of
the American people.
There are people today who have SO
lost their sense of proportions behind
a pseudo-patriotic spirit that they
would contend the United States has
no peer in any field Of human activity.
In a braggadocio manner. the result
OF a perverted early training. they
would maintain that were the United
States to enter the European war. no
matter on which side. the end could
be certainly forecast.
o Whose is the fault that they are
taught to reason this way? Is it the
fault of the biased, often untrue, ac-
counts of our nations dealings within
itself and with foreign powers set
down in books given as texts to the
youth of the country? Or is it be-
cause of the framed-up Washington
never told lie" bunk which is con-
cOcted to give the unreasoning mind a
basis from which to assimilate other
equally unreasonable bunkum?
ours is the one idea of an Ameri-
ca free, just. powerful, forward-facing,
that shall stand out in the history of
nations as the name of a people who
conceive their mission and their true
greatness to lie in service to man..
kind" said President Butler.
That idea cannot become supreme
until we place our minds and judg-
ments in the balance and make public
sentiment reflect truth rather than
perversity.

Field Work of the Playground and
Recreation Association of America

Chas. 3. Weller, associate secretary
tof the Playground and Recreation
association Of America, who delivered
an address in Keokuk November 10th.
on the aims and purposes Of the
organization, sends to The Gate
City the following article which will
not only serve to give information
concerning the movement but will in
all probability enlist the interest and
support Of the people Of the United
States In this most worthy effort to
afford ample and safe grounds for
amusement and recreation Of the chill
dren. Mr.. Weller's article Is as fol-
lows and is divided into subjects:
OBJECT-The object Of the field
work is to help cities establish com
prehenstve recreation sy-tems so that
all the people may have an oppor-
ity for play and recreation. What
forms OF play and recreation do the
various groups OF children and adults
in any neighborhood need and desire?
how many opportunities for these
leisure time activities be organized?
The association finds 1t essential in
working out a recreation system to
meet the needs Of any community to
have a man or woman employed to
give full time to the municipal recrea-
ton problem, Just as each city has
school superintendent employed to
give full time to the educational prob
lem. Even places of less than nine
thousand population have found It
wise economy to secure such a recre-
alton secretary. Thus far 1t has been
the experience Of the association that
nearly every city, when the municipal
authorities are given an opportunity to
understand what other cities are do
ing and what results they are &C
complishing, is ready to arrange for
recreation centers to be open through
out the year under the direction Of
recreation secretary.
INVITATION-The Playground and
Recreation association Of America re-
ceiyes invitations to send a field sec
rotary from city governments, recre-
alton commissions. school boards,
park boards. other municipal depart
ments, chambers of commerce, recre-
alton and playground associations. CIV

KEEP URIC ACID

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than

keep the feet dry; avoid exposure;
eat less meat, but drink plenty Of
good water.
Rheumatism Is direct result Of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which
is absorbed into the blood. 1t ia the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast It out
in the urine; the pores of the skin
are also a means Of freeing the
blood Of this impurity. In damp and
chilly cold weather the skin pores are
closed. thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work. they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate the
uric acid which keeps accommodating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
m uscles. causing stiffness, soreness
and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge Of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
full in a glass Of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
