Late that spring the Lambs
Club of New York came up to
the prison, fifty strong, to give
an evening entertainment and
were invited to take dinner In
the warden's residence. the
meal was served early so that
the show" which was to follow
in the prison chapel, might be
concluded at a seasonable hour.
When the guests arrived 1 as
sisted in entertaining them and
was more or less embarrassed
when several made inquiries OF
me as to the chances for getting
a drink" Evidently number OF
the gentlemen were accustomed
to being served liquor under such
circumstances, and there was
none In the house.
Some months before Osborne had
issued an order that no liquor or
wine should he kept in the resi-
dence. He had done this not
through personal scruples but be-
cause large numbers of those who
visited us were persons who did
not indulge. He felt it best, to
avoid possible criticism and to re-
move temptation from the prison
ers employed in the house, that
there should be no liquor avail
able there. 1, Of course, knew Oh
this: and had agreed that it was
good policy.
Lambs Are Insistent
Among the Lambs that night,
however, were several VINO were
really insistent about having a
drink, and, rather than have them
leave with a feeling that Osborne's
hospitality had been wanting, 1

phone and ordered some case
whisky and other beverages from
one Of the village saloons. Need
less to say, it arrived post-haste,
and 1 had Anoy, the waiter, fix
up an improvised bar in the back
parlor. where the guests could
help themselves.
A little later when Osborne came
In and saw that bar" he was
very much astonished-I saw that
in his face-but OF course gave no
evidence of his disapproval. 1t
was a gay party that sat down to
dinner. De Wolf Hopper, who
acted as leader, drew the attention
OF everyone when he declared he
wouldn't partake OF ''highbrow'
food and insisted on having a
ration" from the prisoners mess

thought Hopper's idea a noble
one. and pan Of beans, with a
chunk of bread and a tin of tea,
was brought up from the main
kitchen and set before him. He

Unique Entertainment in Chapel
The entertainment that night in
the prison chapel was unique. Men

WILL OF THE DRIVER

"A sweeping and effective reform in the driving of auto
mobiles could be effected by the insurance companies by the
adoption of a rule which would refuse liability insurance, for a
term OF years, to the owner of a n automobile whose negligence
N any manner contributes to an accident resulting in injury to
any person.
There is a close psychological bond between liability in
surance and unreliabilty in driving. The man who settles back
with the contented feeling that he is covered may get careless
and reckless, often without realizing it. The man who knows
he is personally responsible for all consequences of his driving
is almost invariably careful.
The tide in the number of accidents and fatalities, increas-
ing daily, will never be turned except by reaching the will of the
man behind the wheel. Penalties, regrets, funerals, come at the
wrong end of the accidents to be effective preventatives."-
Tampa Morning Tribune.
just what legal restrictions insurance companies might
encounter by such a policy is a question. But the suggestion
of the Tribune is a good one as the starting point toward &C
cident prevention. The responsibility required on part of driver
makes him more careful.

HOW ABOUT LOCAL ECONOMY?

much to the dsmay of the state department of Massa-
chusetts,' says the Boston Transcript, "the cities and towns
of the commonwealth, according to tax returns already received,
are not substantially needing the advice to cut expenditures to
the bone and practice economy"
What is true of Massachusetts is perhaps true of the COM
munities in the majority of the states of the union. Federal
taxes have been reduced and strict governmental economy is
being practiced. But if the real estate owners of the various
American communities are to receive substantial relief in the
way of tax reduction on their property, there will have to be
a revival of economy in the local community, where the greater
portion of the average mans taxes are collected and assessed.

LET THE FARMERS ALONE

,Roundly scoring the Legislative mania which has turned
our heads and depleted our pocketbooks," in a message to visitors
of the grange community exhibit recently held at Snohomish
Washington, Governor Roland H. Hartley declared that the
greatest favor the state can bestow upon the farmer is to "get
off his back and leave him free to go about his business unham
pered by an army of regulators, investigators, inspectors, adj
visors and dictators."
The farmer, Governor Hartley declared, is no different in
his relation to the state than any other citizen, since the state
rs the product of the cooperative effort of all citizens, regardless
of vocation or profession. He deplored any tendency toward
group government" Participation in government affairs is as
much the business of the farmer as his purely agricultural pur
suits, Governor Hartley pointed out, as all government activities
vitality affect the farmer.
