RANN-DOM REELS
By Howard l.. Ram
Socrates

Socrates was thick wasted
Athenian citizen who invented the
thinking habit. Prior to the birth
of Socrates in 40 B. c., there was
very little thinking done, and most
of that was put up in canned form
for the use of the ruling classes. So
crates changed all this by introduc-
ing number of original thoughts
into the language of the country,
which caused him to be regarded as
a suspicious character and finally
led to his death.
If Socrates had been willing to let
other people furnish the material for
his thinker, he would have lived
longer and died with less personal
discomfort. He was a proud man,
however, and preferred to die in a
lingering and unsatisfactory manner
rather than swallow a lot of indigest-
ible opinions for the sake of peace.
This teaches us that if there were
more Socrates on earth today there
would be fewer people who have to
have their ballots marked for them
on election day.
Some very good pictures of So
crates have been preserved in statu-
cite form, all of which give intense
pain to lovers of the beautiful So
crates had set of highly intricate
features which did not harmonic
with the landscape, and was Justly
considered one of the homeliest men
who ever wore the graceful Grecian
knee-strap. In early youth he took
the precaution to cover these fea-
lures with profuse clump of sec
ond-srowth whiskers, which gave
him the subdued and melancholy
aspect of the weeping willow As
these We're allowed to grow only on
the surface, however, they did not
interfere with the workings of his
mind. which was of the twin-six
variety with overhead valves.
Socrates was married man, but
was never heard to complain of that
fact in the presence of his wife. Mrs.
Socrates was an unpleasant person
with a knee-acting tongue and
coarse but ready wit. and she was
said to be able to draw blood with
her vocabulary three times out of
five. This may account for the look
of perfect peace on the face of So
crates while in the act of dying.
Socrates was sentenced to death
for thinking too much on subjects
which had not occurred to anybody
else, and passed away soon after by
the hemlock schedule, being sur
vived by his immediate relatives
and large collection of robust ora
lions.

They may be imprisoned for five
years or fined $1,000 A similar pen
atty has been imposed on anyone who
works convict more than twelve
hours day in certain states.
Colorado was one of the first of
the states to realize the need of
change in convict labor and of pris-
on reform. When Thos. j. Lyman
was appointed warden of the Colo
RADIO penitentiary, he knew nothing
OF prison rules, yet he is now regard
ed as one of the most successful
prison keepers of the country. His
only recommendation for the job was
that he had an unshakable faith in
humanity and strong belief that
obscure methods in prison were
wrong. and he has proved that the
main essentials are placing the pris-
oners in charge of men for their
responsibilities, who are equipped
mentally, temperamentally, or by
special training or social vision
otherwise no value to the convict.
Mr.. Lynan's humanitarian methods
insid" the penitentiary walls would
be enough to make him a national
figure, but it is his system of work
ing oCnvicts on the public roads that
is most widely talked of. He en-
ploys them for blasting out good
roads through the Rockies, and they
work under unarmed overseers, with
no stockades. no barbed wire, no ball
and chain. At nine O'Clock at night
the roll is called at each camp; then
the gang climbs into it's tented
hunks and the camps solitary rifle is
shouldered by a night guard, a.
'trusty." Less than one-half of ten
per cent of the convicts so trusted
have escaped since Colorados first
road camp was pitched May II,
1905 In additional to a liberal
good behavior allowance. there is
given Q ten-day reduction of term
for every thirty days in a road camp.
Thus, Colorado convict sentenced
to ten years is enabled to earn his
release in four years and three
attempted escape puts him
through the full ten years. Some
thing else which is better than tho
clank of chains or the menace of
rifles, keeps the convict to his camp;
and when his sentence expires, his

If everything was sold in as liberal and
fair manner as the below named drug
gists are selling Schiffmann's New Con-
centrated Expectorant, absolutely no
cause for complaint or dissatisfaction
could possibly arise from anyone. These
druggists say-"Buy bottle of this rem

Cough, Severe Cough, Group or any
Bronchial Affection, and we will return
your money, just the same as we do with
Schiffmann's famous Asthmador, if it
does not give satisfaction, or if not found
the best remedy ever used for any of
these complaints" Why not take ad-
vantage of this guarantee and try this
medicine, and get your money back, rath-

exaggerated claims of it's manufacturer
or on the strength of testimonials from
others and run the chance of getting
something worthless and also wasting

Prison Reform and
Convict Labor

The following interesting essay
was written by Miss Reva Fletcher,
daughter of Mr. c. G. Fletcher,
supe rintendent of convicts in Polk
county. Miss Fletcher is attending
Columbia College at Lake City:
One of the greatest social prob
lens confronting us today is the con-
vict problem Many questions arise
as to what we must do for the pris-
oner before he is allowed to re-enter
society. The Commissioner of Agri-
culture asks in his report, What
has the State done for the convict"
And answers it himself by saying.
Nothing. We, as nation, should
begin to realize that something must
be done. Since slavery, the term APP
piled to, involuntary servitude-
state of bondage, the owner of man
kind as chattel, or at least the
control of the labor and services of
one man for the benefit of another
Involuntary servitude without WAGES.
when convict earns more than his
keep, is slavery; whether he be
forced to work by the state or con-
tractor The contract and lease
system means punishment, slavery
and disease instead of reform, op-
portunity, undertaking, efficiency,
and cure No legislation of the past
years provides either for their learn
ing useful trade by which to live
on after getting out in the world or
for their earning in prison even
small sum with which to aid in the
support of their families or others
dependent upon them,
Convict slavery may be abolished,
for willing, efficient and honest la
Dor, which should be the founda-
tion Of any prison system that aims
to render the criminal fit to return
to society. In order to labor will
lingy and efficiently, he must receive |
adequate remuneration Therefore, |
to be effective, it must be voluntarily
and fully rcmunerated. and if the
prisoner receives full pay, he should 1
pay in full for what he receives.
Treating human beings worse than
animals is less popular today than
it once was A penalty has been i'm
posed on officers or guards guilty Of
"crnel or inhuman treatment to any
con ict by neglect or otherwise"

MODERATE.

Consignments OF evergreen Christ
mas trees were received by mer-
chants in the city yesterday and to-
day. Other dealers had previously
gotten their trees, as well as holly
for Yuletide decorations.
Dealers said today trees and holly
were two of the few items pretty
generally used during the Christmas
holidays. which have not gone up in
price. More than that, the trees are
we'll "branched" and the holly is
o luxurious than usual, being ex-
tremely well berried.
The Christmas trees range in
height from about four feet to six
teen feet, and they vary In price
from Is or 20 cents to "a each. The
larger trees are used almost exclu-
sively by churches or by societies.
1t is said that little IL any mistle-
toe, under which a girl may stand
only by taking wide chances, has ar
rived in the city. 1t is told that mis-
tletoe is extremely perishable, and
for that reason it is seldom listed in
stock earlier than two or three days
before Christmas. and 1t then comes
by express. Mistletoe will be sold i'm
10 and 15 cent packages. Holly may
be had In 25 cent parcels.
