HUMANITY AND PROGRESS At
STATE PRISON FARM

The Banner, under the name or
Frank Harris, it's owner, recently
printed an excellent article on the
conduct of the state prison farm at
Raiford.
The Banner, in it's issue of May %,
was taken to task by man at Tai
Iahassee for saying that the farm
soon would be on financial basis
such that it would be able to pay the
running expenses of the state institu-
tons.
Editor Harris went back with an
able defense of the farm, showing
that-as it is conducted by it's super.
intendent, J. s. Blitch-the farm is
rapidly increasing its revenue from
farm products, using convict labor to
produce fOOdstuffs.
| Mr.. Bitch has inaugurated a new
era in prison life in Florida, He has
put into effect an honor system at
| the prison farm Guards are not
needed. Convicts govern themselves
in highly pleasing manner-concern-
ing hours of labor, ETC.
The present legislature, too, has
abolished the old leasing system for
convicts, which will place all state
prisoners on state work and not have
the able-b bodied men EARNED OUT to
turpentine camps, etc.,-a system
that long was shame to the reputa,
tioR of our state
With convicts used for building
state roads and raising foodstuffs on
| a state-Owned farm, the state prison
soon will become what long ago it
should have been-a place where men
who have made mistakes in life are
| made better men and are prepared
to leave this penal institution as good
citiznes insteadr Tid?rbt gttt GA
citizens instead of hardened Grimm,
ais.
Florida has been a long time com.
ing to this more humane and more
sensible way of dealing with its prs
oners, but at last has been overcome
the influence of contractors who prof
tied by the labor of convicts, and the
states erring wards will be used
TO reduce the taxes of the people of
this great commonwealth, instead of
being burden because of the cost OF
their up-keep.
The taxpayers generally, rather
than a few turpentine and other op-
orators, will profit by the changed
methods of dealing with Florida's in,
generated wards.
The Cats administration in gener-
al, and Mr.. Bitch in particular, have
rendered signal service to both the
states convicts and it's taxpayers by
the most humane and more economi-
cal methods they have inaugurated in
dealing with our imprisoned unforh,
nates.-St. Cloud Tribune.

HOLDING BONDS is THRIFT.
Selling Liberty Issues for Less Than
They Are Worth 10 the Height
Of Folly.

Two things are true when a Liberty
Bond changes hands for less than the
highest market price. One person is
selling something for less than its
value: another person is lucky in strik-
Ing bargain; one is chump, the
other Is fortunate.
You may argue the ono is forced to
sell. Possibly true. but his banker will
lend him nearly the amount of his in
vested capital on his bond, or will show
him way to get the highest possible
value.
The record OF the sale and purchase
OF Liberty Bonds shows one thing
plainly, that virtually all the Liberty
Bonds that are sold are finding their
way into the hands Of thrifty persons
who realize that the bonds are selling
for less than their real value. These
purchasers will hold the bonds until
maturity when they will be ut par, and
undoubtedly at considerably above par
In Marty every case.

Of thrift than this. the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington would like to

Considerable controversy is being
had pro and con, concerning the mat
ter of discipline in the Arvada High
School, particularly in regard to the
conduct of the pupils out of school
hours. AS has been done in the past,
a dancing club has been formed by
some of the members of the High
School, and the parents and teachers,
superintendent and the board IRE in
doubt as to what should be done to
promote the best interests of the
school. There is law on the stat
ute books of Colorado, making it a
penalty for school students to form
themselves into societies that are not
sanctioned by the board. Superin-
tendent Wheatley does not look with
favor upon the dancing club, as he
believes that it seriously detracts
from the school interest, but is not in
clincd to take the initiative against it
unless he may have the full cooper
alton and support Of the boa

remains to see what will be the out
