LOOKS LIKE "GAG" LAW

We do not know what Senator Ackeson is aiming at in his bill
No 11. but it looks very much like an attempt at gag" law.
1t prevents any person who visits any prison, reformatory, or 9TH
er place of detention from carrying out any information whatsoever
without the consent of the warden or superintendent in charge.
In other words, should this bill become a law any person visiting
any of our state institutions and finding conditions not as they should
be could not tell of such conditions outside without being guilty of a
misdemeanor
Any inmate claiming to be unfairly treated or suffering any kind
of injustice could not get redress or relief by complaining to friends
or relatives because those friends or relatives would be prevented by
a.
= - III arryl scil information outsSft1ne INSTITUTION IN per
sol in charge could do Is he pleased with his wards and laugh at
threats of exposure.
We believe that the people of New Jersey want their state lnst-
tutions M in a way that the utmost publicity is welcomed at Ill
times If inmates feel that they are being treated cruelty they ought
TO have the right to tell their friends and their friends ought to be free
10 tell what they have learned and to demand an investigation.
Senator Ackerson may have had some good reason for mtroduc-
ing such a bill as No. 11, but in its present form it merely protects
al kinds of graft, corruption and incompetency in the state instItu-
tions and the law would prevent anyone who learned of such conditions
saying anything about them.

EVEN A GENIUS NEEDS TO PUT UP A
GOOD FRONT
BY REV. CHARLES sTEIzLE

Most of us are willing to take a great deal from a genius or a mn n
is justor ordinarily great so far a peculiar annersm and practices are
are SO detached and different from the resto of u.s. you know-these mn
have unusual talent.
They Ia look souchy their trousers bagging al the Knees their linen
frayed at he edges their hat battered over their heads, their socks
hanging down, heir shoes unpublished, their coat collars twisted, IN Ill
the other things hat are permitted geniuses-even to the oup that is spat-
tered over their vests.
We forgive them these little things because, after all. what do they
matter When those who are guilty OF them have composed a thrilling play,
painted a stirring picture, or produced something else ht will bring joy to
and inspiration to their souls?
But the trouble of it is tina their amateursh imHatos are Sc impress
ed by their slouchiness that they mistake it for a sign IF eatness-a
these imtators the go in for the things which nave been a hndrance
Eth q help to III geniuses
They cannot~aaord to be -aauches- hese- they have proven to the
world that they are geniusesa
The fact is however, h Did Bohemhnism is passing away-and the
who are doing the worthwhile things in life a a are for their
personal appearance, because life is 20 organized today that these great lei
are no longer permitted to do their work in seclusion, but they are being
asked to make their Hvese count in a social way-uey are expected to meet
others SC th these ay catch h inspiration of their genius.
old stuff must be put away-an their easy manners of living must be dis
pensed with, for we are living in strenuous lays

Where's That Gideoni

DR.. Lockhart Nelson, of Hillsboro,
Ohio. informs US that DIR. II. S. Fuller
ton, father of the present Hugh S. Full
lerton. made the following marginal
note in his Bible at Matthew XVI, 60
rs. 40 years ago:
For the probable explanation of
Peters conduct on this occasion see
Matthew wifi, 14-15."
Luke never writes mother-in-law
jokes, but Biblical students will be in
terested in Dr. Fullerton's explanation
of why Peter denied Jesus. Now, boys
go TO the desk. get your key. go up to
the room n hunt up the old Gideon.

The CLEAN TOWN IS
THE HEALTHY One
Germs Lurk in Filth and Clean Up
and Paint up Will Chase
Them Away.

The following warning has been is
sued by the National tuberculosis
association:
"Tuberculosis and other germ dis
eases are generally brought about by
dirt and filth. The germs Of tubercu-
losis cannot live where there is sun
light, cleanliness and fresh air. The
scrubbing brush, soap and water, paint
and whitewash are deadly enemies OF
tuberculosis. The easiest way to get
rid of the germs that have nested in
YOUR house and around the premises
is: CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP"
1t long has been a we'll known fact
that dirt and disease walked hand in
hand. Influenza, typhoid, pneumonia
and other germ diseases exist because
iirt exists. Get rid Of dirt, and mos
diseases will be wiped oat.
Cleanliness and the liberal use OF
the paint brush and mop and broom
will make it hard for dirt to exist. II
YOUR town is spotless it will be g
healthy town. And there is no better
advertisement for a community thar
a low death rate.
Make Glasgow a clean town and yor
will also make it a healthy town.

THE MINERAL INDUSTRY.

The mineral industry is still in a
stage of reimbursement. Markets are
quiet and production is still largely
curtailed. The various industries are
gradually using up accumulated stocks
while the government has been dis
posing Of it's supplies. Prices are
reaching lower and more stable lev
els and it's is expected that conditions
and production will improve. Build
ing activity is being resumed. While
prospects for foreign trade are i'm
proving and ocean rates are declin-
ing, the shortage of ocean bottoms is
still acute.
Freedom from strike and increased
labor efficiency are absolutely nee
essary to keep many of the vests
mines in operation even on a greatly
curtailed output. Production is still
in advance of consumption in most OF
the staple metals and prices are below
cost of production.
The mines are marking time now
waiting for their second wind, in the
shape of orders due to increased
building and industrial activity in this
country and gradual beginning of re-
construction work in Europe.

Judge Julian w. Mack Of Chicago who
came to Washington as a sort OF vol
unteer war worker. The department
ct labor took the idea up at first. 1t
was then proposed to have the army
and navy look after allotments and
allowances, the pension bureau to
handle compensation and the war risk
bureau which was already in exist
ence for marine war risks, to handle
the insurance feature.
The plan came to Mr.. McAdoo's at
tention and it looked too good to nm
for the glory to be divided. 50 IN a
short time he put up to congress the
present system of having the whole
enterprise handled by the wal risk
bureau in the treasury department.
The job proved too big for that en-
bryonic establishment, and it finally
broke down in such a sea OF admins
trative and clerical confusion and in
competency as probably never has
been equaled in American history
Then Colonel Lindsey was called II
to clean up the mess.
May Be Up to Pension Bureau.
1t is now suggested that the best
way to handle the problem is to turn
compensation over to the pension bu'
reau. 1t was said at the bureau thai
it was capable of handling the whole
compensation job with but slight ad
dition to its present force of abou'
900 persons. The compensation dl
vision of the war risk bureau employ
ed about the same number. Som
members of congress are now gather
ing information to the advisabilit.
of such a change or consolidation.
On the other hand, it was state'
at the compensation division that tn
difference in principle between com
%pensation and pensions is so great tina
the pension bureau, with it's genera
lions of experience in administering
pensions, would not be able to adjus
itself to the compensation idea, bu
would try to administer it as it ad
ministers pensions.
