" ' . - HOW MANY PENITENTIARIES PAY? , Speaking before the Salem Rotary club at thev noon 5 luncheon of .Wednesday, Charles -H.; Stewart, vice i president of the . Northwestern National bank of Portland; gave; some valuable information, clothed in, apt 'phrases- f j -fTi'n1 ': 7In shorty gave a st6d amilnfqriMtfveAddrea .J-,, But Jhewent out'of hiswayijust a;short step into the " domain, fit- politics,- to take a fling at ' the man behind" the , Oregon penitentiary pianagement. . That was all right. It-is the privilege" of any man to differ from Governor. Pierce on ; economic or political questions, or any other . questions-' But Mr. Stewart saicl something like this:; "We do not want to entrust a gigantic business i with a man who has not yet. shown that he knows how to .make ai penitentiary pay : How many penitentiaries conducted: under civilized con ditions in all the history of the. world has any one been able . to make pay; that. is, to pay their own. way; to become and. remain self supporting? V j r; . Just ; two.' iThe Minnesota state penitentiary at Still . water and the Missouri penitentiary at Jefferson City. Really, under the above specifications, ; only. one7the: Still water -itf--stitution! The iabama penitentiary is more than self sup porting, through the working of the prisoners. (mostly colored men and women)Tin coal mines under conditions worse than v those of the old slavery days in the south. What 'Is mareHhan thiithe Oregon state penitentiary has, in less than three and a half years, built up from nothing ' (or rather from ; a saving f $100,000 made from the main tenance fund. based on the preceding biennium), a surplus in buildings, ; machinery, equipment . and . stock .on,; hand of : about $400,000, and is well on the way towards complete self support- , j. ; . .

Then : the; Oregon penitentiary, according to the plans ' no w being worked out and well along in their "workings, will be on a par -with the Stillwater institution ; with a small wage for every worker; with complete self support;, with the t burden of its maintenance .lifted permanently from the shoul--ders.of our taxpayers--::' - r - . -. , ', ; And with as high a record for reformations as any sim ilar institution on earth ;. as high as that at Stillwater.

Howard is like a lot of other small-town people he i thinks Hollywood has got Sodom and.

Sydney said something about taking mis both down to the beach. He : admires you a lot.' " 8ylvla made no reply to this and the two girls walked on In silefce. , ; Sylvia didn't believe that Syd hey Harmon admired her particu larly, although he always Insisted that - she should accom pany Jean and; himself, on their J it tie excur sions, and .occasionally she had ac cepted. But whether the suave Mr, Harmon liked her for herself; or, merely wanted her along as a sort -of -smoke, screen to hide his flirtation with Jean she had never been, able to determine. : He had been impartial enough in his at tentlons on these few occasions. but now that his wife had come back from the east,' Sylvia : had resolutely stayed at home. She had no wish to' Incur Mrs. Har mon's animosity. And she thought jean a good deal- of a fool to give people a chance to gossip -about her. Of course Sydney, had always been like that, flitting from flpwer to nower in the garden of life, and , Isobel . Harmon,, who was quiet and self-contained woman paid-little attentlon.td hTs "buii Ingi? as she called it. but Just the same Sylvia - was determined -to keep her skirts cleari v:U: ? It was not until dinner was brer and the two; girls were dressing for the evening that-Jean again referred to Mr. Harmon. . - :. : , t ?He;likestne;a lot."; she said, defiantly, as though some. mood of self-defense had come over her. "and he's an awful 'good sort of an egg. but I guess I'll have to cut him out."- - ; . "I would. If I were you. Sylvia told her "I'm . no prude, Jean; You know that.:. And I wouldn't say this if you hadn't brought the subject up; but it seems to-me a mistake : your letting Sydney come here. Not that. I - think,! there's heen anything, wrong," she added quickly, .'as .she .'saw her frlend'i eyes begin to harden -"If I had, I don't mind telling you I'd have moved out long ago.v But you, know, what a place Hollywood ir for-gossip.?. And Mrs. Harmon is an Important .woman with a lot of .: Important , ' friends, so - you see " - ''-'J ur' ' "- -J--"fiefl's beis!', Jean teterrupted Btormlly. . "You sound like one Of the Elsie books. It isn't consid ered any crime nowadays. Is It, for a married man to have .women friends? ; Go ; about wfth them? Especially if his wife happens, to be several thousand miles away? You don't suppose SHE sat around and twiddled, her thumbs those months she was in New York, db you? - I'll say she didn't." - "Then why," asked ' Sylvia; quietly; fhave you; decided to cut him out? 1 - - , ' , s "I'll tell you why!
