Alabama is ending its convict-labor
leasing system, and a blot that has
stained the record Of that State for
more than twenty years is removed.
The prison gangs, rented out to COAL
mine owners and to other enterprises,
have been returned to the direct charge
of the State and put on public works.
A dispatch 70 The Star from one of the
mining towns of Alabama tells of q
pathetic scene as the convicts emerged
from the shafts and sang in rejoicing
that they were restored to freedom"
The leasing of convicts has proved one
OF the most shameful of abuses. These
men have been virtually sold into slav-
cry. They have been exploited without
regard for their health or, indeed, their
lives. They have been cruelty treated,
with the most savage of disciplinary
measures. Nobody viii ever know how
many OF them have persisted in conse-
quence.
But one Of the worst phases of the
convict-leaSing system has been the
practice OF corralIing men as prisoners
by outrageous methods for the making
Of convicts. An uncounted number of
men have been framed" with false EVIL
dence in order to swell the number of
those who might be leased out for forced
labor
Public sentiment In Alabama has
been evoked against this cruel system,
but it has taken long time to over
/. come it. AZ last law was enacted TO
put an end to it at the close of June,
| 1923. and now at last the prisoners Of
the State are to be dealt with directly
and exclusively by the State itself and
not turned over for profit to contractors
and mine operatives.
1t is desirable that those who are
taken by the State in punishment for
crimes should be made TO work, but
not that they should work in competi-
ton with free labor. 1t Is desirable
that the punishment for ofienses should
| include some form of toll, making i'm
prisonment unweIcome, but not that 1t
should be cruel and tyrannous. The
| freeing OF the Alabama convicts from
the unreguiated. unchecked slave-driv-
| ing of the contractors Is step for
ward by that State in the direction OF
civilized government.

A garden enemy often overlooked is
neither insect, bug nor beetle, but
| simply the human being who calls him.
self the gardener.
| Pure laziness is at the heart of more
| garden failures than all the fungus
Vrowths whatsoever. and the sad part
| of IL is that there is no known remedy
except will power.
One cannot spray laziness out of
himself DIS he runs the aphids off the
| rosebushes. Indifference Is as sad a
mischief maker in the garden as else
where in life
This human factor comes more and
more home to one as the Summer adj
vances. Up till now there has been
little inclination to shirk the necessary
tasks among the flowers and vcge-
tables.
Despite the alternate rain and humid
heat. every gardener has still enough
OF the Springtime energy left to go
about the required mulching. pruning
feeding. spraying and so on with a
fair amount OF Vlgor.
From now on. however, unless one
takes thought and puts his will power
vigorously to work he will find that
nature exerts depressing influence
upon him, in so far as duty in the
old back yard is concerned
He will one day find himself saying
to himself: oh, it's too hot to put in
that fertilizer today; I'll wait until to-
morrow"
The next day being exceedingly
sunny, he will dismiss the thought OF
garden work with a gesture--a reach
ing for a book or to turning on the
radio set.
Or perhaps he will get in the car
and let the yard take pot-luck with the
weeds. He will know. of course. that
the weeds will win hands down. but
he cannot help that.

HOLLAND TOWN BUILT
 FOR THE RED MILL"

The legend of the Dutch by who stuck his finger in the hole in the dyke will never be repeated in the dykes constructed for Marion Davies in her latest Cosmopolitan starring vehicle, "The Red Mill" playing at the Liberty theater tonight. |
 The dykes were built in a huge concrete canal constructed at the troIGoldwyn-Mayer studios for the picture. and lined with quaint Dutch villas, taverns, mills, and a complete little Holland town, one of the largest sets ever constructed at the studio. for the new picture.
 It is Hitting comedy romance of Holland based on the famous stage hit of the same name, and with Miss Davies, in pigtails and wooden shoes, in the role of quaint little Dutch girl in whirlWind adventure with an Irish lover, ghosts in haunted mill, villainous uncle and a queer tangle of mislaid identities.
 It is tragic and farcial by turn, and lis staged on a spectacular scale. Owen Moore plays the hero, and Louise Fazenda, snitz Edwards, Karl Dane, George stegman, William Orla- mond, Russell Powell, Fred Gambold and other notables appear.
