A story was circulated at one time
that when Robert Louis Stevenson first
came to America he went TO the office

was not cordially received. In 1897
Richard Watson Glider wrote to Tai

PARAGRAPHS.

New England apple growers are just
beginning to discover how necessary it is
that they should grade and pack their
apples nicely, if they are to compete
with the Western apple man. There are
more Western apples on the market than
ever, and we are tempted to buy them,
even if they cost twice as much money,
simply because they look right, whether
they are or not.-Westerly Sun.
Smithfield and Scituate apple growers
had the business sense to grade and pack
their fruit so that it would appeal to the
eye some years ago.

German Writer Is Ordered
Deported and Is Now on Way

But after a few weeks reports lnd1-
Gated he had become holder and less
discreet. He did not openly criticise
the American policy but seized upon
the sporadic outbreaks Of peace talk
to emphasize the importance Of an
early peace.
Encouraged by a few Americans
who sought to boom the early peace
idea Barthelme gradually became
more and more pronounced in his ex-
pressions of opinion. He pictured
the Kaiser as a man sincerely deslr-
Gus, for the good Of humanity. of
stopping the European slaughter
and stated that the people of Great
Britain, France and the United States
were ready to follow the Kaiser's hui
manitarian lead and were only held
back by their respective governments.
1t soon became apparent that DR..
Barthelme's seemingly harmless peace
talk had assumed the form Of discreet
criticism of the American war policy.
This governments action against
Barthelme has followed his recent ar
rest at Wichita. The authorities
found in his possession a mysterious
trunk containing German peace pro-
paganda, a letter from former men,
Der Of Congress and several speeches
of Senator LaFollette with extracts
carefully marked.
1t develops that DR.. Barthelme was
found looking things over in a strictly
prohibited zone for alien enemies
and was promptly arrested. The au-
thorities gave him the benefit of the
doubt as to his intentions, but the
Department of Justice had not fully
advised he authorities as to his status
when he was sent from Washington
to Wichita.
The deportation Of Barthelme
marks the beginning Of more vigorous
action by the authorities against ef-
forts of enemy aliens to help the
Kaiser by spreading sentiment in
favor Of an early peace.
It is said here that there are a
number of other cases of enemy aliens
who have been following the general
line of Barthelme's activities. They
are all being watched and the govern
ment will not hesitate to take action
whenever it proves necessary.

SECRETARY TELLS
OF CONVICT LEASES

Tallahassee, Fla, Nov. State
Treasurer j. G.. Luning, who in the
meeting of the Board of State Instruc
ton, made q fight for letting the con-
victs to the highest bidder, has stated
to your correspondent his reason for
the position he took.
Mr.. Luning said: "The board makes
certain regulations and rules for the
leasing Of the convicts and their
care by the persons who lease them.
There are laws as to the proper feed
ing and clothing of the convicts, and
the governor has inspectors whose
duty it is to see that the convicts are
not mistreated. If the rules are broken
the board has the power at any time
terminate the contract. The legis-
lature has told us to lease a certain
number of convicts to private indl-
viduals or private corporations. The
legislature said that the prisoners
should be leased to the highest bidder.
We must presume that q bidder will
fulfill his contract until we have EVIL
dence to the contrary. see no other
for the board to pursue except to
leasethe convicts to the highest bidder
provided. the board has no evidence
that contractor will not do what he
says ne VIII do.
Asked further what he thought of
the statement made to the effect
that all money received for the hire
of convicts over $3.50 per prisoner per
year, Mr.. Luning said that someone
else might consider all over $50 per
men a year was blood money. '"That
Is not a matter for the board to de-
termine," said the state treasurer.

run the business of the state on a
