HONOR SYSTEM IN PRISONS The system adopted a year ago in California of working state convicts on the roads and paying them wages (when they are freed) has been watched by those interested in prison reform everywhere, and since the successful completion of the first year of the experiment many favorable comments are heard. The thought is that it is better for the state and for the convict to convert him into a safe and productive citizen rather than to keep him confined in prison where the product of his labor comes into competition with free labor, to the detriment of the latter; that by this method the state may rebuild its roads and at the same time rebuild its men. During the past year 600 men have been employed in road camps with but 12 guards, most of them unarmed. Yet less than 2 per cent of the total have attempted to escape. Some of the men have as much as $250 credited to them to be drawn when their terms expire. This is in addition to the money sent to their families. They are also given three days' credit on their sentence for every two days they work, and this, together with the wages they receive tends to make them observe the honor principle which gives them so much liberty. The honor system which has been adopted in a number of states is based on the principle that there is left in the soul of every man a degree of manhood and aspiration for better things, and that when this is appealed to by placing him on his honor his better self is aroused. Under this system men road camps with but 12 guards, most of them married. less than 2 per cent of the total have attempted to escape.

The honor system which has been adopted in a number of states is based on the principle that there is left in the soul of every man a degree of manhood and aspiration for better things, and that when this is appealed to by placing him on his honor his better self is aroused. Under this system men have gone out from prisons with their faith in human nature intact, where under the old, brutal system they would have become confirmed criminals. It is claimed that the system, in the short time it has been in force in California, has resulted in sending prisoners back to free life with restored self-respect and trained to industrious habits. Popular fiction—eleventh-hour election claims. Turn a scandalmonger loose in heaven, and it wouldn't be heaven very long. There should be more rigorous test of applicants for drivers' licenses, in California. Soon the straw vote will give way to the paper vote—and this will decide the election.

Without waiting for a reply he jumped into the car. "I might as well ride with you walk." After two or three miles been covered, the young man paused for a moment in his center. "It's farther to Lumtown than I supposed," he remarked. "It's a good distance," said farmer. Another 20 minutes passed, and then the young man quired, "About how far is it, Lumtown?" "Well," replied the farmer, "keepin' straight on the way we go now, I should say 'twould a matter of several thousand miles, but if you was to get on my cart and walk it back, it very much above eight miles.

Paris, is sponsor for the statement that he stands a better chance of occupying the White House than members of the major parties believe. Faris is one of the pioneers of the prohibition party. He has attended every convention of that party since 1888, with the exception of one. The early conventions were interrupted by hecklers, irritated "foes" and "back row humorists," according to Faris. The nominee's home is in Clinton, Mo. He is treasurer of the Brinkerhoff-Faris Trust and Savings Co., there and is connected in other business ventures. The nomination was made at the party's recent convention in Columbus, Ohio. Marie C. Brehm was named vice-presidential nominee. Every Citizen of the Shou STATE For Electors of President and Vice-President of the United States Vote for Thirteen ALBERT G. ROGERS, Socialist MRS. A. H.

EDDY, Socialist AMHERS WEISEBERG, Socialist Health and Diet Advice By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" EVOLUTION OF DIET (Continued) It is quite possible to be well nourished on a strictly vegetarian diet, if the selection of foods is made carefully and with accurate knowledge of the proper proportion and combination of different elements necessary. If one has an ethical or religious objection to the use of flesh foods, it is really the height of reason to suppose that good results can be obtained by living on a hazard diet with no more specific object in mind than the exposition of meat. The different foods employed by civilized man at the present have been adopted for nourishment after centuries of experience habit, and anyone who has been raised in a civilized country in a mixture of foods, and who may desire for ethical reasons to upon a flesh-free diet, must take the utmost care in making changes so that the body will not suddenly be deprived of elements to which it has long been accustomed, without suitable substitution being made at the same time of some other food which supply these elements in another form. It is not enough that proper elements alone should be known used in the diet, but it is equally important that the different substances should be combined with each other in such a way to make harmonious mixtures. One of the greatest mistakes can be made by anyone who is attempting to diet is to try to apply all of the different elements at the same meal. This is neither necessary nor advisable, as some foods will not digest well in other foods even though both may be necessary for the body, will set off an indigestion and digestive disorders, whereas if we were to use different time will not provide any article of food. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1924 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying HELPING PRISONERS TO REFORM—San Diego Union Building character as well as roads, or, putting it another way, character as a by-product of road building, appears to be a matter of sound achievement and not merely an ideal of the State Highway Commission in its employment of prisoners. Instead of giving a man $5 at the end of his term in state's prison, and setting him adrift on the world, while in the meantime his family has been deprived of his support, the commission enables him to earn money for his family, and accumulate savings for himself against the time when he shall be on his own again. Working on the road, the felon is a wage-carner. Many of these, since last August, have earned several hundred dollars besides portions of their wages sent outside to their families. The author of the prison road camp bill and former chaplain at San Quentin, Julian H. Alco, told the Masonic club at Los Angeles the other day how the idea has been working out in actual practice. He is an authority, he certainly has been in a position to acquaint himself with convict psychology, and he finds that as a rule, "prisoners do not appreciate the work of those religious organizations that pet and coddle them, making them objects of charity and victims of sickly sentimentalists," but that "they do appreciate an opportunity to make good before they leave prison." The subject of his address seems warranted by the facts—"Why California Leads in Prison Reform." For only a year has the prison road camp bell been in operation, but already results are remarkable in reforming and developing prisoners and at the same time lessening their cost of maintenance. The speaker described three road-building camps of about two hundred men each, guarded by only a small squad of guards. Of these 600 convicts working in the open with practically all the privileges of free men, clothed as laborers and not in prison uniform, not more than 2 per cent have escaped, and these were the less intelligent, not knowing how to read or write. As the speaker explained, men are reluctant to run away from a payroll, particularly if there's punishment when caught, so that attempts at escape are few. Moreover, a reward of $200 is offered for the capture of an escaped convict and this amount is charged against the camp in which the man works, wherefore escapes, being in a way paid for by the prisoners themselves, are not in the least popular. The camps are provided with libraries for education and amusement. There's not enough work on the roads for all the state's convicts, so that those chosen are carefully selected. Nearly all would like to be chosen, and the fortunate ones seek to retain their privileges by good conduct. Thereby, too, they shorten their sentences, since for every two days of labor, a prisoner is credited with three days off his sentence. Literally they earn their way out which would seem to be the one possible way back to good citizenship.

To get relief quickly, safely and effectively, there is nothing good at "Allen's Rheumatic Treatment." The camps are provided with libraries for education and amusement. There's not enough work on the roads for all the state's convicts, so that those chosen are carefully selected.
