CATCH Es CAPPED PRI soNER
Former Workhouse INN ates "Spot
Fugitive Who IL Returned to Prison.

One of the peculiar workings Of the
honor system lately put into practice at
the Workhousc was told at the Joint meet
ing of the Workhousc trustees and the
officers of the Prisoners Aid Society
yesterday.
J. Frank Ball told of two men who has
been released from the Workhouse with
in the last few months, and soon after
discovered n man who had escaped from
the institution prior to the installation
of the honor system.
Naturally they thought ut once OF
surrendering him to the authorities, but
their training forbade such action: To
''snitch" on a fellow inmate is considered
bad form among such men. Still, they
could not get the idea out of their heads
that they were, in a way, in honor bound
to notify the authorities so that justice
might not be permanently frustrated.
They could not reason out the situation
clearly between them, but they felt that
the Workhouse have treated them with
unusual courtesy and in some way 1t
was up TO them to reciprocate.
They decided to play game OF cards
and let the cards decide They started
to play but soon reached the conclusion
that the cards could not settle the ques-
tion satisfactorily Whichever way the
cards fell, the result would not set their
minds at rest.
Finally they decided to go to one of
the Workhouse trustees and make n
clean breast of it. That, they concluded,
was the only road of honor open to them.
so they confded in Attorney Ball and
the escaped prisoner was caug htand
returned to the Workhouse to finish his

POWELL SAYS JONES'
ACT IS BENEFICIAL
Vice President Of Bethlehem Ship
building Corporation Says All
Needed is Wise Admins
tration.

'The Jones Merchant Marine act mere
ly places American shipping where foreign
shipping has always been, under the pr :
lection of its own flag" said j. W. Powell,
vicc-prcsident of the Bethlehem Ship
building Corporation, Ltd, of which the
Harlan plant is an energetic link, in dis
ctissing the new law.
Lack of protection and encouragement
is the vital reason for the decline Of
Americas s merchant marine" he oontin-
ued "The war demonstrated our inn
potency in this direction, and if the Jones
act is properly and wisely carried out, U.
s. shipping will bc realized. Every over
seas protest of the provisions of the act is
but additional proof of the soundncss Of
the legislation from an American view
point Europe has been feeding fat on
American shipping for years and ls rightly
apprehensive over the possible loss Of
Uncle Sans big trade plum. All OF which,
however, does not discount the act s
worth To the United States.
"Some have formed the opinion that IL
is only shipbuilders and ship operators
who are and should be Interested IN the
prudent administration cf the merchant
marine legislation. The entire nations
prosperity depends upon the broadening
of its transportation facilities. Only a
great ocean carrying trade will create
great terminal facilities, and only great
terminal services will improve interstate
and inter-country transportation. The
oountrys prosperity Is bound mp IN ITS
merchant marine. No one portion OF the
nation, or no one set Of peoples can hog
the benefits that will come If the Jones act
Is discreetly administered In my humble
opinion, il is the lreatest economic tri-
umph of the war.
Il don't pretend to say that there are
no drawbacks in the possibilities of the
act. The legislations itself is sound and
constructive The dangers, il any. will
come in its carrying out The dangers of
mistakes are the dangers il holds A solid.

The development of the beet in

says, has surprised the officials Of the

three or four years ago. So rapidly
has the industry grown that the "a

LEAGUE LEADERS
ARE PULLING
EVERY STRING

In Colorado there is deeper interest
over the effort Of the Non-partisan
league to secure control in state poll
tics than there il over the presidential
election. As a matter Of fact defeat
ing the league in any state Is Of more
vital consequence in that state than
the election of either Of the pfesi-
dantial candidates for president.
Either Mr.. Harding or Mr.. Cox
would mean the continuation of our
representative American form of gov
ernn1ent; while control of any state
by the Nonpartisan league means the
establishment Of class rule and the
setting up Of socialistic institutions.
Personalities and prejudices are the
stock in trade Of league leaders.
is by binding the public to the real
issues involved that they seek to se-l
cure power. Their speakers denounce
so-called "capitalistic" control of our
present political parties but no politi-
cal party in the history of hte United
States has had such autocratic con-
troll and direction as the Nonpartisan
league in its headquarters in North
Dakota and St. Paul. Neither has
any political party nor its leaders had
the unlimited funds with which to op-
crate, that the league has had.
These facts are self evident and
common knowledge and yet many sub
stantial citizens will be fooled by the
visionary promises of league candi-
dates and their false accusations like
a crowd of people would be fooled by
a pick-pocket crying "Stop thief" in
order to divert attention from himself.

Care Should Be Used
at u. p. Crossing

How foolish it is for drivers of auto
mobiles to not pay heed to the rail-
road crossing watchman at the Union
Pacific tracks in Julesburg. Just the
other day the writer witnessed an
auto driver pull off this foolish stunt,
and instead of stopping when warned
by the crossing watchman, the driver
speeded up and disregarded the warn
ing of the approaching train. There
was no accident, but there might have
been and then where would have the
blame been placed? The crossing
watchman is maintained for the sole
purpose Of protecting the lives of
the travelling public, and it certainly
is nothing but common sense for the
drivers Of autos and vehicles to stop
when warned to do SO by the watch
man.
