HAS FAITH in
HONOR SYSTEM
Warden Plummer Tells
What Has Been Accom-
pliShed at Workhouse
MANY PRISONERS
WORK ON OUTSIDE

Warden M. S. Plummer, OF the New
Castle County Workhouse says there
are 800 prisoners at the worlhouse
with practically no sickness. TWO
men are suffering with slight at
tacks OF rheumatism and another is
at the Delaware Hospital, where he
has been successfully operated on for
appendicitis The present excellent
physical condition OF the inmates Is
attributed by Warden Plummer TO the
untiring efforts Of DR.. Robert w.
, Tomlinson, Jr. and the fresh air
treatment under the outside honor
system in vogue at the institution.
A thorough inspection OF the SAM
tary condition Of the wOrkhouse Is
made three times each week All in
mates suffering from Infectious dis
eases are segregated. even at meals
and their clothing is washed sepa-
rately by especialy-assigned per-
sons
Mr. Plummer says no guards are
placed over prisoners working on the
outside and that the men return at
night in a pleasant from OF mind and
singing popular airs No inmate trust
ed on outside employment Is search
ed on his return to the institution, as
. he has the utmost confidence in the
men under his charge, says Mr..
plummer.
The honor system. as instituted by
the warden has changed the disposl-
tion Of the most disgruntled inmates
to an attitude OF perfect satisfaction,
Mr.. Plummer says.
Mr.. Pmmmer said: TOO much
credit cannot be given the Harlan
and Hohingsworth Company for the
great help given prisoners leaving
the workhouse. at the expiration OF
their sentences.
The honor committee recently
passed a resolution expressing theil
appreciation OF the help extended By
the Harlan and HolDngswOrth Com
pany 10 their fellow prisoners on
their reliese from the institution.

"The men have organized a sixteen
piece brass band, composed OF eight
white and eight Negro inmates, who

are now allowed yard privileges until

When asked concerning their per-
sonal altitude toward each other, the
warden said:
"Of course, these men have their
petty differences and iealousies, but
these are readily adjusted by the
honor committee, with The advise

HUNGER STRIKERS

PARIS, Oct, 26- The long hunger strike of the late McSwiney of Cork, has caused much discussion here as to how long it is possible for q man to fast. Dr. Socquet has told the Paris Midi that the record is 63 days without food set by William Grsnier in 1881.
 "Granier had been sentenced to death and was confined in the prison of Toulouse" said Dr. Soccquet. "He had horror of the guillotine and to save himself from death by that in strument determined to starve which he 3id after 63 days.
 Many hunger-strikers have lived longer than could have been expected" he went on. "There are the cases of Tannr, Succi and Merlatti the latter of whom starved for 48 days while he lost .ne-quarter of bis weight. Taylvr t.lls cf the case of a worker who was imprisoned in mine for 60 days with. ut ft od. He lived three days after his rescue and died as g result of be- ing excessively fed. Many lunatics have refused to take food for 20, 30 or even 40. days.
 "No rule can be established as to length of time man can fast: His endurance will depend upon his pre- ,ious health, his constitution and also upon his spiritual condition which is very important. It is we'll known that 2 straving man may increase his en- iurance a great deal by drinking wat er."
The Seward gateway daily edition, and the Alaska weekly post., 1920-10-26
tell these same powerful men just

What Is what regarding the things Alaska needs and must have if she Is ever to become the Forty Ninth State of the Union. The election of a President the question of League of Nations, the chaos in Europe and the industrial unrest caused by the period of reconstruction all fade for us peo- pie of Alaska before the one big and important question, "Will John Noon Succeed in getting for Alaska those things we must have before We can forge ahead?" The answer is this. He will succeed if We can keep him there. But he cannot succeed unless we are all willing to help keep him there by contributing our mite to the fund that is absolutely necessary to enable hin, to ultimately succeed. The bill will be a large one. Some of this bill has al- ready been paid by small number of Alaskans. These men have done their bit and are only too willing to continue doing all in their power to advance the cause of Alaska, but the burden is too great for few individuals to carry. They must have help. Are you willing to kelp with dollar or so to assure ;.,r u!rlmate success of John Noon's journey to the seat of the powers that De or are you willing that he should :etarn to Seward and Alaska with his :uisSion ia:lureo
 If you want to see Alaska and Sew ard forge ahead you will help renew the purse that is rapidly becoming empty and by so doing you will enable John Noon to continue the good work
 le has already done, which is more, tv date than that done by any other maA or bunch of men whom we have ever sent to Washington from Alaska. If you do not want to see Alaska como lo the front and take her rightful place with the other states of he Un- Ion, pass the buck and John Noon will be obliged to return home with his mission uncompleted. There is no If or But or Why about it. It's q simple pro- olem in black and white. Are we Alas kans to become known as pikers and people who io not want or care for the things worth while throughout ev- cry state in the United States or are We going to demonstrate to the people of the United States tha we are people who DO know what We want and who DO understand how to get it. Most every man in Seward will raise the ante in a poker game just to see what the other fellow is holding. How aany of you will raise the .,
 Alaska Publicity Game of Draw Poker, , lou can see the hand that John .Nooi 1 Is holding. It will win the pot for you all if you will furnish the money to en- able him to win all he can while he is sitting in the game.
