Farm Is the Place,
Farming the Thing For
Reformation of Men

The house of correction inspectors
adopted the wiser course when they de-
cided Friday to cease their opposition to
the better plan for a prison farm and
consented to a joint farm and workhouse.
Mayor Marx held the high trump IN
his suggestion that the needs Of the city
could be better determined after the
state and city have gone dry. with the
tendency 10 a lower crime rate under
prohibition, and the inspectors could not
well contradict his point that to proceed
mt this time upon any positive plan would
be poor policy. likely TO result IN fool
ish waste of money, and serve as great
handicap to the institution in maintain
ing it's high standard of efficiency.
The Times was only recently in con-
versation with leading penologlst Of
the state and of the United States, who
said that seven years experience had
convinced him of the advantages OF the
prison farm if it served no other pur-
pose than that of cure for the phys
icaIly. mentally and morally unfit.
The state prison at Jackson, under Its
present able regime. has achieved great
success in the reformation Of men and
the fact is attributed by its officers TO
the prison farm.
They are agreed that it has been the
greatest factor In the institution toward
returning men to society, reclaimed.
II is the opinion of the Jackson ON
cials that the prison farm is absolutely
indispensable to the obligation OF the
prison to its inmates and to society.
Men received in Jackson in UNIT phys
Zeal condition as a result of having been
confined in insanitary county jails, with
out proper and sustaining exercise, have
been restored in short order on the farm
Further, the farm at Jackson prison
has been operated at financial pront,
and the land used has been increased
1YQIn a RaTQtn Ol dOOlb OAhy az -
acreage of nearly five thousand.
Aside from lessening the burden on the
taxpayers of our state, is the fact that
men who are paroled after serving on
the farm invariably make good.
All kinds of men are selected to work
on the farm in Jackson, ranging from
one-year men to lifers.
The prison that equips man for IN
telligent farming performs service OF
inestimable value as part Of the back
to-the-soil movement, the economic need
of which. for the very preservation OF
the country, being widely conceded.
The mayors idea was worthy OF in
dorsement.
Now let the farm be located on high,
dry. fertile land, at least 20 miles from
the city, away from inflated values, away
from meddling neighbors and farthest
away from the evil influences that are re-
sponsible for men being sent to prison.

Everyone has had those uncanny mo-
ments when what is taking place around
him seems as if it had taken place exact
ly SO before.
There! and you come to yourself with
start. You were sitting so by the
window; outside was brown hen and
'wo chicks; child was crying across the
way. and Mabel came to the door. in
that same blue Bingham, too, and said
Georges here!'
Did you dream it once, or live it, or Is
the mind sometimes in a peculiar state
IN which it records impressions dually,
as a letter or line is doubled on the print
ed page when the paper or the press is
Jared in printing!?
There is also strange duality in the
objective world Two things are alike
that have no business to be.
The chances are million to one that
there is no human being looks exactly

once wrote a story which was pub
lished in a magazine II was pure fic-
ton. based upon not an atom of fact It
was about a man whose real name was,
let Us say. Davis. and who changed it to
Thompson when he was sent 10 the Ne
braska pententiary He had sacrificed
himself TO save woman named Emmons,
with whom he was in love The woman
in the course of the story secured his
release and pardon. She lived in Illinois.
Some months after the story was pub
lshed | happened to be in Lincoln, Ne
braska, 70 speak at the commencement
exercises Of the university. | was the
guest of the chancellor. and while sit
ting in his house, awaiting the hour to
go 10 the university, a caller was an
nounced II was woman who wanted
TO see me-
When she came in she said she was
a visitor to the penitentiary, and read
10 the convicts and wrote letters for
them. She wanted to know how found
out about Davis.
| replied that | knew Of no such man,
but had made my story out of whole
cloth She did not believe me, | think,
and hardly blame her
For she made this amazing statement;
that she knew man named Davis in the
prison. and that his real name was
Thompson. Further that he was in love
with woman named Emmons in Illinois,
who had secured his pardon When she
read my story in the magazine she rec
ognized the facts as she knew them.
How do you account for that? | had
used the names Davis. Thompson, and
Emmons because they popped into my
mind And how did my entirely mag
mary story come to tally so amazingly
with the truth?
Perhaps Plutarch's remark, in his Life
Of Sertorius. is in point:
1T is no great wonder if. while for
tune takes her course hither and thither,
numerous condolences should spontane-
ously occur"
And Poe, in his Mystery of Marie
Roget says: There are few persons,
even among the calmest thinkers, who
have not occasionally been startled into
a vague yet thrilling half credence in the
supernatural by condolences OF so SEEM
inRly marvellous character that as
mere condolences, the intellect has been
unable TO receive them.

 Hon Carl Hayden,
 Phoenix, Arizona. "Quartermaster corps promises that the heating plants will be completed by the middle part of this month. Men are not suffer ing, although there has been discomfort. Weather has moder- ated, and no apprehension is felt for the health of the men.

WILL FIGHT TO FINISH.
Senator Mark Smith Addressed Mo-
 gales Citizens at Club.

This war must be fought un- til the abdication of the Kaiser or to an unconditional sur render" Thus spoke Senator Mark Smith of Arizona to a gathering of prominent Nogales citizens at the Santa Cruz club Saturday evening.
 have been in favor of war with Germany since the sinking of the Lusitania. Germany brought war with the United States upon herself and we will win even should every one of our allies lay down their arms. This country will fight to the last man and to her last dollar. Germany is the only nation on Gods green earth that ever denied the Monroe Doctrine and has always wanted to take Uncle Sam by the 'scruff' of the neck" Senator Smith, the man that serves so efficient on the Foreign Relations Committee, fired his listeners to undaunted patriotism as he unfolded to them why the United States was at war with Huns. Won Bernstorff," con- tinued Senator Smith, "spent $40, ,OOO, ,OOO in spreading German propaganda through the country. He was nothing but a common spy and crook. He disobeyed all International laws known to diplomats of the world which resulted in this nation asking him to vacate immediately" The Senator's praise of the Liberty Loans was high. He said that Arizona did far more than her share thus showing the patrio. tism of the citizens of Arizona. He said that he could rent Alaska (if allowed) and pay the interest on the entire National debt at the end of the war. Said that the United States owned enough resources in the name of the Government, not the posses sions of individuals, to pay of the total debt, interest and all should the war continue for five years, and not even feel it. He said that the stacker and the pacifist were tools of the Kaiser and the nation has no use for either. The Senator made very interesting informal talk which was enjoyed by all present. Later short talks were made by Col. Hardy and his son Leslie. Herald.

The warm welcome accorded Mark Smith, Arizona's beloved senior Senator, by Nogales citizens-Republlcans and Demo- crats-last Saturday, will long be pleasantly remembered by Senator Smith, who has a host of friends in Santa Cruz county, who are for him against the field, politically or otherwise.
 Last Sunday Mir. and Mrs. Marshall Bird, who spent several days here with the Renrleman's parents, Col. and Mrs. A. T. Bird, departed for Los Angeles. their home, making the cross- country trip in Mr. Birds auto mobile. Marshall resided in Mo- gales many years ago. He is now travelling representative of the National Meter Company, with headquarters at Los Angeles. During his visit here, Marshall met many old time friends and acquaintances.
 Kurt Groth, a German sub- ject, for long time connected with the Sonora Bank aud Trust Company, of this city, was placed under arrest last Monday, by order of Van c. Curtis, chief of the United States department of justice, at this place. Groth is accused of violating the Pre- sident's proclamation by visiting Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. He will be interned in a government detention camp until after the war is over. Mir. Van Curtis says he is going to enforce every article of the espionage act, and the Presidents proclamation. From now on all alien enemies who disobey the law, will be arrested and interned in military camps until the end of the war.
