AT THE PARKWAY

THE Son of Wallingford," the big
Vitagraph special production. which
will be seen at the Parkway Theatre
this week, is the latest of the series
Of "Get-Rich- ck-Wallingford"
units which have been unrivalled in
popularity in America.
The character OF J. Rufus Wal
lingford is a household word. 1t is
a name related to anything along
that fascinating topic of making
money without working for it. The
American public may love TO be
humbugged, but it always loves the
humbugger. Thus the popularity in
hction form of the great Walling-
ford.
George Randolph Chester, author
and creator of this famous charac-
ter, personally directed the screen
version. Into the new story he has
put all the elements required to
make a picture successful. 1t is
sparkling with comedy, replete with
spectacular sets and filled with that
other necessary component of
big feature, we'll dressed women in
beautiful surroundings.

MORE ROADS FOR
STATE LIKELY
Josiah Marvel Drafts Bill
to be Presented to Next
Legislature
TAX GASOLINE TO
PAY FOR HIGHWAYS

Construction OF hard surface roads
in rural sections to cost not more
than $1,000 a mile. will be author
lied under terms Of bill being
drafted by Josiah Marvel for intro
duction in the next State Legislature.
which will convene in January.
1923.
Mr. Marvel drew the present State
Highway Commission act. and served
as a member of that body until sew
eral months ago. when he resigned.
Cost Of the main concrete system of
State highways is approximately
$40. 900 a mile.
In reference to Mr.. Marvers pro-
posal, # is pointed out that in Sussex
Courty, there are, aside from the
main State Highway system, many
miles OF roads through the spasely
settled sections OF the county, that
are practically impossible during
the months OF the year In which the
seasons change. This condition re-
suits in great losses 10 the farmers.
TC finance he new roadway
project. a bill will be presented 10
the Legislature having for its pur
pose tax OF cents a gallon on
gasoline. which money will go to
tho counties to maintain the pro-
posed roads. Such measure has
boen under consideration at previous
sessions OF the General Assembly but
has received scant support That
It will be strongly opposed next
year is gathered from the view Of
Charles C. Guyer, secretary OF the
Delaware Automobile Association.
I'VE are preparing for the contest
now" says Mr.. Guyer in commenting
on the proposed gasoline tax. I'VE
are willing to have the bill passed
II every farmer who owns a horse
or muie. and which is used to haul
vehicles over the State highway s.
will pay a tax Of two cents a
pound on the feed he buys 10 keep
the horse or mule. At the present
time we are called upon to pay ex-
cessively as compared with autoists
OF other states and we certainly do
not intend to have this law passed
without a fight unless the farmers
are made TO share the burden OF the
levy. It's too early now to talk about
what we shall do. but when the time
comes we shall be found at Dover
ready to fight the bill. II the tax is
only on gasoline"

HONOR SYSTEM
WORTHISSH0WN
Only 8 of 1000 Prisoners
Back to Workhouse, Says
{ Warden Plummer
SEES BENEFITS
OF PROHIBITION

". s. Piummer, warden OF the
New Castle County Workhouse, ad-
dressed members Of the Y. NJ. II. A.
in their hall. Third and King streets,
last night on the Honor System" in
vogue a; the worlhouse. The the
ory OF the system he held was that
a man may be taught to lead a re-
spectacle life II properly treated and
as nroof cited the records Of the
workhoues which show that but
eight men had been returned to the
workhouse out OF 1000 prisoners who
have been released.
Mr.. Plummer said that dope"
addicts had no place at the Work
house. These people need special
treatment and ought to be sent to
special institution such as hos
pital he thought. They are not Grim
inals and usually cannot be cured.
The strongest basis of the refor-
nation Of the criminal is religion.
Warden Plummer said. The Grim
inal must be reached from the heart
He said It was wonderful how the
men locked up at the Workhouse
responded TO the religious influence.
Services for Catholics Protestants
and Jews are conducted at the in
stitution.
He explained the honor system
by saying that each new prisoner
was taught 10 respect the rules OF
the place and given 10 understand by
the other prisoners that proper con-
duct affected the entire community.
If a prisoner does not conduct him
self properly at any time the senti-
ment of the place is against him.
Just as in any community outside this
"public opinion is one OF the
strongest influences, Warden Plum
mer said.
The prisoners work hard for eight
hours a day and they receive proper
food. sufficient sleep and some op-
portunity for relaxation. They have
plenty OF exercise and have an op-
portunity to spend a portion OF the
evening in the yard. These things
show in the result There is not a
single man. the warden said. who
wants to stay permanently in the
Workhouse. They want to go, but
they realize that they can not go
out until they have completed their
terms. They are made to appreci-
ate that they have violated the rules
OF living" and must pay the penalty.
The men who have families try to
earn extra money and almost always
send it home
Warden Plummer said that Della
ware was the only state in the union
where persons accused OF crime
were sent to the Workhouse and
locked up without a trial or held
there on a mere warrant sometimes
for months waiting for a trial. II
they are then tried and acquitted
they nevertheless bear the brand OF
criminality for they. have worn
prison suits Thirty-four states, in
cluding New York and Pennsylvania
have parole laws. but Delaware is
one OF the few states which have
none.
Promptness and certainty OF pun
ishment for crime in Delaware is one
of the reasons for the low percentage
OF criminals here. he said Prohibi-
ton has also had a great effect in
reducing the number Of persons con-
fined at the Workhouse. There now
are few more than 500 prisoners
there. whereas, there used to be 500
and 500.
The audience was greatly interest
ed. Those present asked many ques-
tions OF the warden concerning the
various phases OF the work at the
prison.
