Habits of Industry
Not Formed i'm Prison

New York, Nov. I'm their cam
paign against prison-made goods, the
United Garment Workers refute the
claim that prison labor trains the con-
Wet in habits of industry. This is a
leading defense advanced by profteers
of prison labor.
Human beings can not be taught
habits of industry by brutal punish
ments, or trained to respect honest
labor by being made a chattel slave
says Mary Kate Richards 0'Hare,
who is assisting the garment workers
in their anti-priSon labor campaign.
THE production of garments in a
prison factory does not teach the men
employed at it anything that will be
useful in earning an honest living
when released. Garment making, par
ticularly the type of garments made
in prison, is not mans job, because
practically all Of the operating in free
factories is done by women. A man
can operate a power sewing machine
making shirts for 10 years in a prison
factory and have learned nothing that
will be of the slightest value to him
in normal life.
THE production of commodities for
privte gain by convict labor in tax
subsidized prison factories places free
labor and legitimate manufacturers In
competition that is grossly unfair
The unionists point out that the
label of the United Garment Workers
is the only guarantee that garments
are not prison made.

Irrigation Project
Caused Much Waste

Washington, Nov. More than
$4,000, 900 has been wasted in the
federal irrigation project and the sys-
TEN must be revised, according 10
Secretary of the Interior Work. TIE
statement follows repeated attacks by
western senator's and congressman,
who have subjected the irrigation
policy to much criticism. The state
ment intimateS that these lawmakers,
through political pressure are re-
sponsible to large extent.
UNLESS settlers can be attracted to
the project and are able TO remain on
them," the department says, there Is
no reason for building them. The gov
eminent can construct irrigation pro-
iects but il can not draft settlers.
"To date the government has spent
$500 900, 900 to irrigate 100000 acres
of land which support almost 100000
people. Il was believed that if the
government built dams and canals
agriculture would follow.
More than two-thirds of the land
under works constructed by the gov
eminent were privately owned when
construction started The political
pressure To have works built in the
various states frequently determined
the location of many of the projects.
"As a result canals were built to
water unfit land and where the cost of
development was more than agrleul-
ture could stand. A survey recently
conducted by fact-fnding committee
on federal reclamation show that an
amount estimated at $4,000, 900 had
been expended for the irrigation of
worthless and unfertile lands, much OF
which had been abandoned by set
tiers"
When congress convenes, it is an
nounced, recommendation will be sub
mitted by the department that will
go a long ways toward solving the
reclamation problem"

Though the Old Guard in the Sen

much as possible, it is pretty certain
that he will fight manfully for the
common good The progressive people
of the United States believe that he
will tread the path blazed by his faith
er and they are congratulating them
selves that his election was a victory
for progress and enlightenment
About the most severe criticism dl-
rected at the young Senator and his
program is that he is not emphatic
enough in his stand and his plan not
radical enough. This seems like a
strange commentary since many leac-
tionary papers have been "Viewlng
with alarm" the action of the MiSc0L-
sin voters in electing him with huge
majority.
The election of LaFollette Is fore
runner of the downfall of the reaction
airy Senator Lenroot next year and
the probable accession of Governor
Blaine. Since young Bob's' election
is a presager of even more important
events to come. it is certain that MS
career in the Senate will be watched
with the closest attention by the IN

MAYHEM Solomon gave utterance to
w the bon mot that "A soft an
swer turneth away WRATH he was
making no personal reference to Mrs.
Tobias. She had what Is known as
carrying voice." She could readily
have addressed the Democratic con-
ventIon without the use of I'M amph-
FER. and could have been heard as
easily as William Jennings, himself.
She really had no need to employ a
telephone when engaging in a CONVEX
sation with her remote neighbors.
Whenever she did call that instrument
into use. II her windows were open.
all the people within four blocks
could hear her quite as distinctly as
the person at the other end Of the line.
II is true that nature sometimes
plays us false. and starts us out into
the world with harsh or high-pitched
voices, that Irrltate people and get on
their nerves and give an indication OF
lack OF training and refinement. The
loud voice Is temperamental In pretty
large degree, however, just as the tenn
per Is. II can be trained, modified,
brought under control, and made 10 act
properly. The loud Soice suggests ir-
ritatlon. lack OF polse. the absence OF
self-control.
Whenever Tolliver became angry or
distressed. or when he was surprised
by something untoward or unlocked
for, his voice became loud and bolster
Gus. IL he ran out Of gasoline when
driving his car. or lost collar-button
when getting ready for dinner, or saw
one Of his clerks come In late to the
Office. he began. No one paid much
attention to him usually. His loud
tones were so common as to have no
emphasis, and so people set him down
after while as weak and unre-
strained and out OF balance.
Coleman was one of the most effec-
tive men ! ever knew. He was big
and strong and healthy, and his voice
was low and well-modulated. When
he spoke over the telephone 1t was In
a natural tone, as II the other man
was In the room with him. When the
unexpected happened, he was calm.
and quiet and self-possessed. one
who knew him could easily tell when
he was angry, for then his voice be-
came even lower and quieter ana
more restrained than in ordinary con-
versatlon. One felt the power and
strength there, as one feels the re-
strained power In big car throttled
down. He was most Impressive when
he was quletest. When every one else
became angry. Coleman's voice was
low, and we ali knew that he had him
self and the situation in hand.
Solomon was right, soft answer
does turn away wrath. and a loud
voice gets us nowhere.

MECHANICS

NICKNAMES are as inevitable as
taxes. They are protest against
the bad judgment of parents who start
their children into the world with
name that indicates neither character
nor personality. You can start your
boy out weighed down and handicapped
by the name of Reginald or Percy or
Poindexter. but II he amounts to any
thing the first day he goes to school
or college he comes home properly
characterized.
Mrs. Mason hated nicknames. and
when her first-and-only-born arrived
she named him Wilbur. and never
deigned to call him anything else or to
let anyone else do so.
Wilbur was blue-eyed and stub
nosed and freckle-faced and red
haired and wide-mouthed. He had a
sturdy body and a permanent smile.
and he could play baseball, II not as
well as Babe Ruth. at least well enough
to skin all the fellows Of his age.
"Hello Nike" the leader Of the gang
called to him the moment he stuck his
face inside the playground at school.
and Mike he was from that time on
through grade school and high school
and college. and still is today though
he is president of one OF the largest
corporations in the Northwest. and the
name fits him today as well as II did
then.
Mechanics often suggest physical
characteristic as Fatty, and String. and
Curly, and Sawed-off. Sometimes they
show temperamental qualities, as Pep
per- and Smiley. and Speedy. Often
without any special reason boys
name is changed simply because II
does not seem to fit him properly.
NV two roommates in college were
christened William and George In In
fancy, but for some reason, which
do not now recall. we always called
William, Jimmy; and George went as
regularly by the name of Pete. II
would have seemed ridiculous TO have
called them anything else.
When SWEET came to college he was
at once called Perspiration, but this
proved too cumbersome for the under
graduate tongue, and was soon short
ened to Perse. l supposed for years
that his real name was Percy and was
so accosted. Wyre We always called
Barb. Sudbrink, Suds, which was after
wards changed TO Soapy.
There is something human and per
sonal and friendly in nickname.
There is something wrong with a fel.
low whom no one has ever nicknamed.
He isn't quite a democrat; he lacks q
little of being q good fellow. He
seems aloof from the crowd. He hasn't
quite sold himself to his constituency
