A HE TTE ll DAY FOU PRISONERS
A great deal had boen said and
much han been done to BOIVO the
problem of the prisoner who has been
convicted of crime and Is serving his
sentence In a penal Institution. Some
of tho efforts to better conditions have
been well meaning enough, but they
have not always been rooted in sound
judgment or carried out with sound
common sense.
it may ho laid down as a fundamen
tal principle of safe und orderly gov
ernment that crime riiiist be punished,
for only thus can society be preserved
in ?io progress to higher levels of
living. Kldness to prisoners and bet
ter treatment of them In the way of
improved mclhods of dietetics, sanita
tion and moral instruction, liuve been
tried and have proven eminently suc
cessful. These efforts in the main
have been as tbo seed tho husband*
man sowed' On good ground, maturing
rapidly Into a bountiful and satisfac
tory harvest.
There is one method of reaching the
prisoner-and tho most promising In
our Judgmont-tiiat lias be-- the least
tried of all reform ideas. What we
mean is tho effort to befriend the man
whom tho law Uas published with
stripes at tho time when ho most
needs It-when ho finishes bis terni
In prison and is ready to bo turned
out Into tho world whoso laws ho
has violated. If be ever needs a
fri.nd, it ls at this time, and sonrn
few of the stales have employed true
and experienced men to look after
prlsonc: s ?oing out from prison walls,
to get them Jobs, to revive confldenco
In their hearts, to establish friendly
relations with other men, and to start
them again lit the world as men to
bo judged alono by tho worthiness of
their deeds.
Tho machinery of our courts grind1
slowly but surely, sending men by
tho BcoreB to prisons for their ic!s
decds. This ls necessary for society's
protection, but generally the prison
er's moral wei faro 1B lost sight of as
soon as bis conviction IB obtainer; and
tho majesty of tho law vindicated. To
reclaim him beforo bis time Is up, or
when It ends, is a problem that ought
to command tho best thought and thc
warmest support all good citizens,
and a sincere, honest and unceasing
'<ffort should be mado to glvo tho
down-and-out what he most needs
friends who will Blick' to him with
moro than cold lip service.
Tho act passed by tho last general
assembly creating^a_ amie board of
charities and corrections will take
up thia Important work, it I? to bo
hoped, and organise lt upon an ef
ficient and practical basis. It may bc
that man's inhumanity to man makes
countless thousands mourn, but Just
as certain it ls that man's humanity
to man will .stir tho, wellsprings of
shattered char v- ter In tho hearts of
men who have broken the law and
start thom on..tho high road to dc
cent and upright living.
EQUAL' PAY FOB EQUAL SERVICE
This is an old, old subject, and yet
Its agitation today ls as new and
fresh as lt was whop, it was first
started. It is one of' tim leading
planks In tho platform of tho now so
cial order, and slowly "but 8urely
some improvement in tho direction of
equality ia being made. '
Thin iniroou?uon might very weil
lead up to ' on assault upon tho in
equality existing between the salarie?
paid malo and female teachers, but we
are going to fall asleep at the switch
this Umo andfiet vour^tiaJfc1.of our
rambling thoughts run Into a aiding
While wo discuss something entirely
different.
A very gross inequality exists in tho
matter of tho compensation pnid to
county officials. Some of-the officers,
Uko those of the supervisor, tho aup
erin tendent af education and . others,
are paid a straight, salary, . whllo
others aro based partly or wholly on
the fco system. . Tho method of pay
ment works an injustice, as s om o of
our hardest working official.;*, whose
positions are l?rgoly administrative,
aro getting a sorry pittance whon
compared with Die compensation, re
ceived by others out of fees.
The fee system is regarded too lit
tle In the light ot a burden because
lt ls ah Indirect.tax, and yet the foes
come out ot U?e people just aa much
as the taxes they pay directly out ot
their: pt ekets for the support of H tato
and county government What We
really need ls to ascertain what the
offices actually pay atm then place
them all on eateries straight. In thia
way equality ot compensation for tieri
vices rendered could be brought about,
and the county would bo able to save
money in the administration of- ita
. The foo system is out ot dato. It
waa originally based upon cou ditmas
that ar^yd^.';p't;b^rmony with > eondli
tiona auch as wo have today.;: It If
undemocratic and unfair? and, It oi&tj;

BACK TO THE LANI!
"Back to tho lund" is a cry that
has boon Bhouted through megaphones
and heralded with tho heating of tom
toms for a long time by those who
arc deeply concerned over the grad
ual movement of people from the
rural districts to tho cities. That the
cry hus not been heeded to any i;on
sldorublo extent, 1B causing ccono
mlstB io put on their thinking caps
and try to ligure out the reason that
their words have falen on unrespon
sive eura.
Tho reason IB apparent to those
wno stop to think. People are not
going to leave the easier life of the
city to go hack to tho farms until ibo
opportunities on the farms are as in
viting as they are In town, or until
the prospect of making conditions as
bright or brighter aru Bhown moro
conclusively than Kley ure today.
Agriculture is undergoing a Blow
revolution, but only the surface has
been touched, as it were, in stirring
up the rich soil of progress. If pres
ent activities continue as they ure
now being conducted In this and other
states, the turning point will soon bs
reached, and then men and women,
especially thc younger set, will be
eager to go to tho farms where more
freedom, more advantages of a health
ier sort, and more genuine happiness
can bo enjoyed. This Hmo will come,
but it has not yet arrived.
High-sounding words and iridescent
pen pictures aro too often employed
to paint conditions that do not exist,
and th's habit of glossing over tho
trutb has been hurtful. Farm lifo
must he rmde profitable and more at
tractive, for upon Its full development
depends our prosperity as u people.
Will wo let lt como In iSouth Carolina,
or will wo permit it to bo held In
chock by reactionary forces?
FBEJUOICE
Romo obscuro early EngliBh writer
speaks .of prejudice as the child of
Ignorance. His definition is simpler
and more to the point than tbo ones
in thc dictionary, for it hits tho nail
squarely on tho bead whilo tho loam
ed men who compilo our word vocab
ularies usually miss the mark and
bruise their thumbs in trying to con
voy to us the subtleties of meaning.
Projudlce stalks hts brazen form in
to the church, into every social gath
ering, into politics, and into all hu
man efforts especially that are di
rected toward the accomplishment of
good. The best of men fall a victim
to its banoful influence, and, as for
tho women-oh, well, wo don't want
to stir up anything just at this time.
When the war ls over, we will borrow
a sheet or two of armor plato and
whisper a few things from a distance
anent this phase of the subject.
Projudlce has a full opportulty for
tho display of its talents in political
life. If prejudice rules your actions
and you bolong to a faction, or if you
nro a dyed-in-the-wool partisan of
some skilful and magnetic apostlo of
the wind, all that your faction or
friond docs has the stamp 'X right
eousness upon it, signed, seated and
delivered. But if the wicked party on
tho other side should happen to pass
out certified' checks when the game
ls rained out, or If by some magic of
government he should open tho treas
ury and njjiy yo? fjvo dollars a pcur.-l
for your dogtail cotton, you would
lose your religion In showering upon
hun a deluge of abuse smelling of
brlmeston?-all because he is your
"enemy." You would Bee him way
down In somo naughty place before
you would admit that be didn't have
horns and hoofs a shade moro hor
rible than the gentleman who reigns
over the place you referred to.
You would be honeBt-how rlght
cslusly honest you would be!-and
you couldn't be made to seo but one
way oven If truth should rise up and
show you a diagram of your error.
Prejudlco makes a man blind to his
own faults, but magnifies tho little
shortcomings of others Into acts of
supreme tragedy fend Injustice. It ts
a disease that 1B hard to cu.o, bo
omlee when the optician cornos around
to pluck lt out of the victim's eyes
tho victim gets mad and swears that
his vision is free from lt and aa.clear
as the noonday ann.
As tho old English writer said,
prejudice is tho child er Ignorance, lt
ls also the father ot much of the In
justice and cruelty and suffering tn
tho world today.

UTHEi CHINA
BALKS AI PLAN
Canton, Wilna, Sept. 5.-Southern
China does not take kindly to the
movement to make Yuan Shl-kai em
peror. Southern China, in faet, sel
dom takes kindly to nny movement
emanating from the northern part of
the republic. But ?he restoration oi
tho empire is a project especially dis
tasteful to tiie great commercial cen
ter of southern China. Most'or thc
wealth of (mina ls centered nero and
In Hong Kong and Shanghai. The
Cantonese have alwuya been ex
tremely independent. T:iey financed
and encouraged Ihr two recent revo
lutions.
Many progressive Cantonese have
become extremely wealthy through
the development of the mines In the
Strait settlements. Others have
made great fortunes In Jav.?. And
most of the wealthy Chines' In Che
United States are from the Canton
neighborhood. Many of these men.
aro reformers who back their views
with money.
Even before the society for the
preservation of peace set forth its
plan for Ch? restoration of the em
pire, there was extreme dissatisfac
tion with General Lung, tho military
governor named by President Yuan
Shl-kat to direct affairs in Canton.
War conditions made business bad.
Then tho floods carno and Intensified
the unrest. Willie inspecting thc
damages done by thc flood, General
Lung was Injured by a bomb hurled
at him by a reformer. A few days
later two bombs were found in his
douse which had been smuggled in by
n cook bribed by reformers.
General Lung has 2f>,000 troops lu
the viclnlt yof Canton and the Yuan
Shl-kai government has been able to
pay them regularly so far. But In
Cliina uhtro ls always thc ?langer that
an enemy will offer more money and
win away tho military and naval
forces. This happened before in Can
ton, and if Che wealthy reformers were
to advance (sufficient money to finance
Hie opponento of the Imperial movo
:xcnt foreigner? residing here aro
apprehensive of tho results.
Southern China has been under the
Influence of Hong Kong so long, and
through its extensive foreign trade
is so closely In touch with the out
side world, that it resents the domi
nation of northern China. Tho de
sire for a, separate government In
Southern China 1B always uppermost
In the . minds of tho reform elemont.
Reformers seek every oxouse to ad
vance their views and are seizing up
on tine movement to restore the em
pire as a reason for revivir g their
efforts to throw oft' the control of |
what they regard as thu mure back
ward section of' the country.. .
Shanghai, Nanking, Hankow and
the other cities along tho Yang-tso
klang aro well under control of the
Peking government. Warships pat
rol the Yang-tse-klang river end lt is
easily accessible by rall from Peking.
The pearl River is moro remote. Can
ton and other cition along this
stream are not accessible by rull from
Peking. Forts along this river are
located in a densely settled country,
where there are many reformers who
have in the past seized the forts and
defeated naval movement against
Canton.
Evjery precaution ls taken now to
protect Canton against revolutionists.
The baggage of passengoi's arriving
j either by rail or water from' Hong
Kong is carefully searched. Chinese
men and women aro examined ' thor
oughly to make sure they have no?flro
arms nor bomba, upon their persons.
Apparently Chere is no effective
leadership for the sentiment against
the restoration of Che empire. Sun
Yat-sen is thoroughly discredited in
Canton and all BOU the rn China. : The
reformera believe he tricked them
and pay no attention Lo th? movement j
against President Yuan Shl-*al which
te la attempting to promoto from
Tokio.
No oilier individual looms big in tho
anti-government movempnt up to the
present time, but lt has tho support
pf many guilds which aro constantly
opposing the Peking government, re
gardless ot it3 chief executive.
Wily Mother.
A mother in 'Newcastle, England, j
according to Tit-Bits, sent her , little
boy on an orrond, and said;
"Now, Harry, wo to Smith, tho j
i grover in Nob thumb erl and street, and
?get a pound of.tho best treacle," said
sho handed tho young hopefulr > a
I couplo of jugs.. When tho. Viy . had

"Youn didn't toll him to get any

I to leave lt at the shop ?"
"No, ma'am, ho's goonin'. to . brinn
