OCTOBER 5, 1010 “ I CAN TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT ALONE.” He wavered from the bar, pointing his toes rather uncertainly in the gen eral direction of his dull-eyed gaze, gays an exchange. The day before we had seen him at a table in the corner, loudlv declaring, ‘‘I can take it or leave it alone!” Poor Dubb! He thought he was tell ing the truth. They all think that. Many ot them are, perhabs. But this particular dubb— We’d like to take him by the coat lapel, stand him in the corner, and say to him over and over again, till he un derstood : •‘Yes, kid, we know you can take it; put you have never proved you could leave it alone.

If the national republican and demo cratic committees had practical news paper men among them they would be shown very quickly where a vast sum of money is being wasted. The newspaper men would point to the well filled waste paper baskets in the newspaper offices, a large portion of the contents being publicity m atter which the typewriters of the national committees are turning out every day. Were newspaper men on the commit tee the remaining members would be told that the day has long gone by when the newspapers are so gullable as to devote their space to promotion ma terial, either for one party or the other and that the money spent in this work might better be expended in legitimate advertising, the same to be marked ad vertising so that he who reads may know who is behind it. When the expense of the labor in volved in typing the dope, the cost of the pajier and envelopes, and the post age are taken into consideration, in the hope of getting a little free publicity at the expense of the publisher, it is found that a legitimate newspaper advertise ment, would cost no more. The national party would then be getting publicity, whereas they do not get it now. News paper space is too valuable and print paper too costly to throw it away on a one-sided game to boost office seekers into a fat job. That day has gone, and the national committee should make themselves aware of it. SELF-GOVERNMENT FOR CRIMINALS. Reformers have widely different theories about dealing with criminals. One set believes that virtue can lie applied, like a veneer, to any deubtful Cloverdale Mercantile Co. * character, that bad men can be delivered from evil ways by influences outside of themselves, like preaching and punish ment. And supposedly good men try to whip, manacle and torture prisoners into the straight and narraw path. And when wardens and keepers have finished their sad part, society takes a turn at hounding the freed “ jailbird” until he is driven back to the old gang and to another prison sentence. But a wiser class of reformers holds that goodness must come from within and that with any individual it is like a seed which may remain dormant for years, but which will grow into a healthy plant, if only surrounded wifh the right conditions. Fill a m an’s mind with truth and beauty, and there will be no room for wickedness. The latest developments in penology have been along this line. Thomas Mott Osborne has the credit of trans forming Sing Sing, one of the most dis tressing institutions ever invented and tolerated by man. But all that Osborne claims to have done is to permit the prisoners to re form themselves. He has simply atiolUbed old methods of discipling men into virtue, has made the prisonei* re sponsible for themselves, and has made Bell Phone 53-J it possible for them to govern them Office Ground Floor Todd Hotel.
