those who are not engaged in manual labor,
and this is the test. This is the thing the
Dill does. 1t will give employment to men
IN work where they can render effective
service, give them good environment, make
them helpful citizens, and release them
equipped with an occupation so that they
may return to society useful and helpful
people.
Mr.. ROGERS. l am in favor of employ
ing prison labor in useful vocatons Who
is not? am in favor of having our prisons
managed in such way that the needs of
the prison shall be met by it's own labor
as far as possible; favor the manufacture
by prisoners of their own utensils shoes
and clothing, the raising Of their own vege-
tables, the cooking of their own food
firmly believe that everything possible that
can be done within the walls of the prison
shall be done. By these means can the con-
victs learn useful occupations. Those out
side vocations also that do not come into
competition with free labor should be en-
spicuous of these.
Mr. TESS. If the opposition to this bill
should become the law, the poor unfortu-
mates behind the prison bars would be con-
fined under the curse of idlencss, which, in
my judgment, is the greatest sin that would
be enforced upon human being. The time
has come in the humanitarian movement of
the world, and l wish to say to my col
leagues there is no more farreaching nor
important reform in the last quarter CEN
fury than prison reform; that when the gov
eminent closes the door of the prison upon
an unfortunate, the function of the govern
ment is not performed simply by holding
him within prison walls. He is denied his
freedom for public reasons, it is true, but
these include with the punishment the b,Siv
possible efforts to save him from the life OF
a criminal to that Of useful citizen. His
suffering is demanded as an example, de-
terrent to others who might otherwise com
nit the crime. 1t is also protection of the

THE House
Il Talks Back

On Tuesday discussion of Mr.. Creevs
remarks took place. While speaking on
the Overman bill, Mr.. Cannon remarked :
"With our population, with our 110,-
100000 people, a free people, and on
the average the most intelligent people
on earth-we have some predetermined
folks; in your party we have Mr. Creel ;
We have people here who say embarrass-
ing things; we have people in the insane
asylum, people in the penitentiary-bu
we are great, powerful people, of the
Caucasian race, substantially, and we
understand, l think, more about govern
ment than any similar block of people
on earth"
Later he said:
"And if there be mistakes honestly
made as we journey along in this great
struggle the people will be magnani-
nous. They will Say, we could not
get ready in minute; we had to have
experience, we had to have preparation;
we were not ready" and there was not
any of us, as far as know, that did not
regret our want of readiness, thank God.
except Creel; and if l wanted to give
any advice to this Administration 1
would say take Creel by the seat of the
breaches and the nape of the neck and
throw him into space"
So much for that.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
TORNADO
VICTIMS DITVZI ISn

TO the Editor of the Telegraph:
The residents of Riverside who
are heavy losers by the recent
tornado are doing some deep think
ing at present. An appeal has been
made to the public for liberal con-
triutions in cash by the relief COM
mittee appointed by the Mayor TO
help these people meet their losses.
Quite a sum has been raised and the
kund is still growing. Now the re-
Aef committee has formed a plan
S9nich by the way" is known only
10 the storm victims and the COM
mittee. That they (the committee)
will allow the victims six cents out
of every dollar of a certain amount
they name which is usually less than
half the loss. In other words the
committee will loan the victim
enough of the money donated or
given by the public and others TO
pay half of his repair bills, without
interest for four years. which means
finally the victims will get six cents
and the committee ninety-four,
which they claim they will turn
over to the Associated Charities. The
following questions should be ans
wered by the Mayor or the commit
tee, as these are what is puZZling
Riverside:
/. Is it a discredit to borrow
funds?
2. Why should it be a secret be-
tween the victims and committee if
the plan is all wool?
8. Are the subscribers advised
of the plan when asked. to help
Riverside?
4. Why should the Riverside resi-
dents be advertised as objects of pity
and charity to procure funds for
some other charitable institution?
5. Is is not obtaining money nm
der false pretense?
6. What would the Mayor do with
cripple on crutches or an old man
with cane pulling the same
stunt?

ROLLING MILL ON
PEACE WORK SOON
Units of Bethlehem Steel Co,
Plant Have Finished
War Work

on Monday morning the rolling
mills of the local steel plant Will
turn from war contracts for the first
time in two years. Since 1915 the
mill has been busy rolling shell steel
for the Allied countries, and after
Americas entry into the war worked
on an indeterminate order of a SIM
liar nature for this country. The
mills will finish on this work to-
day and on Monday morning will go
back to the old work of rolling rails.
What is taking place In the rolling
mills is but an example OF what Will
be done in other departments OF the
local plant, and shows the ease with
which the local plant will turn from
its war contracts to peace work. The
company anticipates sufficient work
for all its employees.

NEWS OF STEELTON
Anxious to Be Arrested
He Repents in Morning

A well-dressed man last evening
walked into the local police station
and asked to be arrested, He could
give no good excuse for his arrest
but insisted that it be done. He gave
his name as Charles Anderson, OF
Altoona. Not having any charge
against him he was not arrested but
elected frosl the station. A short
time latC>s lie was found to have
made his bed on the sidewalk be-
fore the police station, and to all
appearances was enjoying his rest.
He was then taken into the station
and locked up for the night. After
spending the night In the lookup he
was cured of his desire to be arrest
cd and locked up. Evidently 1t had
been his first experience In the local
lookup. At any rate, he said he
had enough and vowed Steelton
would never seen him again.
