Yearly on a parity with prisons run
on humanitarian lines are contained in
the report of the state board of chari-

assembly. The section Of the report
devoted to the state penitentiary con-
tains great deal of information gath
cred by the board and its agents since
the first visit of the board to the insti-

regard to Inc administration, the treat

mendations.
Chief among the recommendations of
the board in regard to the state pen

The board declares that the adoption
of this policy by the authorities in
charge of the institution will remove

penitentiary authorities work out
plans by which the prisoners shall be
kept steadily employed in productive
labor the report continues. For in
stance, We suggest tnat the old cell
house, not now used and indeed un-
worthy of use, be torn down and re-
built into adequate quarters fer Wo-
men," Repairing the present quarters
for women, the erection Of a rev
kitchen, dining room and chapel are
suggested as other means of utilizing
the energies of the idle prisoners.
"While We think that life out in the
open on the farm is better in most
cases." the board asserts in its re-
port, "stiH state directed and state-con-
troIled manufacturing for state use
would probably give some Of the pris-
oners training they could better real
ize upon after their discharge. To this
end, we suggest that the board OF dl-
rectors of the penitentiary look care
fully into the needs of their own In
stitutions and of others, both state,
county and municipal, for things that
the prisoners themselves might man
ufacture, such as convicts' clothing,
brooms, brushes, furniture, shoes, ETC.
These industries would probably re-
quire, in some cases, the employment
of workmen competent to train and
direct the prisoners, and would entail
more or less outlay in equipment But
if the articles to be manufactured are
properly selected, production can be
!! attained on a basis profitable to the
state.

Consequently, the report continues,

WHY NOT SUPPORT H SOCIALISTS

In a letter published in II OF the Reno papers a Martinette Of that
city states her purpose of not voting for the reelection OF Senator Pitt
man, giving as the main reason:
Il should like o advise you that the question before the Democratic
convention was this: Will you endorse the Susan B. Anthony amend
ment, granting national suffrage to all women? You did not urge the
adoption OF this national amendment. We women OF Nevada, still
nationality disfranchEed, are far more interested in what you did not do
Tor us at St. Louis than W c are in the suffrage speeches which you claim
to have made during the campaigns Of 1910, IL, IA. OF these latter we
seem % have NJ recollection o record
In all of which the writer displays an ignorance that no school child
OF perceptve age should be guilt OF. In all the campaigns mentioned
Pitman upheld the suffrage amendment then before the people of Ne
vada, though friends warned its support would do his candidacy no good.
But he believed in the principle and supported it to a extent far greater
than did the gentleman who will oppose him on the Republican ticket
in the coming election.
But these charges against Senator Pttnan, as against President
Wilson, by the so-caned Woman party are mer subterfuges. 1t is
merely to give the latter a II excuse to vote the Republican ticket, whose
kite they are playing tail to. If they were honest and sincere i'll their
motives they would support Grant Miller and the Socialist party. The
Socialists are the only ones that have declared themselves freely for the
socaled Anthony amendment.

Hughes is vtroic. He is a partisan more bitter than Roosevelt
much too biased for the Supreme bench. He is unfair in his remarks.
The plunderbuDd. is following him This was the gMt OF remarks made
in st. Louis a few days ago by William J. Bryan in discussing the cam
pagn speeches Of Charles f. Hughes. He added:
Mr. Hughes assais the removal OF so-caned diplomats in Latin
America. He forgets to say that they were experienced diplomats in
the Dollar Diplomacy that President Wilson overthrow. 1t a in Latin
America, more than anywhere else, that the diplomatic service had been
conmercialzed, and it a hardly to be expected that the president
would use Republicans of this type to carry out a new policy built on
the theory OF friendship and fair dealing.
"PhutoCracy is in full cry. The punderbund, angereN by the reform
measures put on the statute books by a Democratic president and a Dem
oErathc congress, are out for revenge. Every member of the plum
derbund is following Mr.. Hughes, checkbook in hand. Ii the Republ-
a party can regain control of the federal government, there will be a
return to the wanow in the mre OF special privilege, and another national
awakening will be necessary"

SETTLEMENT OF MEXICAN PROBLEM

The essential thing in the Mexican negotiation is that Carranza n
nounces the appointment of three commissioners to treat with Ameri-
cans yet to be named. Instructions to devote Themselves preferably to
the resolution of the points mentioned in the previous note of this de-
partment' are anything but a refusal Of President Wilson's proposal that
general matters of Importance be discussed at the conference. Naturally
the retirement OF the American troops the Columbus raid, and the pro-
lection Of the border will be first discussed, but a dispatch from Mexico
City say that it is believed there that a way will be found at the joint
conference to aid the de-facto government to solve its financial and LEGO
nomic problems.
The conference will last several weeks and all the while matters on
are less and less subject to irritation, and more and Vorc appreciative
