Treatment of lrlsoners
The state of California is trying
an interesting experiment in tho
watebed on the impulse of the moantl tlrossing granite The build

an annual ineoine of 33 per cent Tlie inflates have their hair crop
ped and wear the usual distinc-
tive prison garb which assures
their arrest if they make an es-
cape
It is in the matter of supplying
food that this prison diifers from
others The convicts when they
first arrive as well as those ho
show little inclination to work or
a disposition to bo vicous aro sup-
plied with rather poor fare con

dencies and withal undemocratic
This is highsounding and calcula-

of political demagongues Tho

The partisan aspect of the move
Hsent was fully settled by the high-
est authority known to the Demo-
cratic party the Democratic con
tention In this contest the antis
take great pride in alligning us
with the women and preachers If
o be it we have the consolation of
being arrayed and cooperating
with the class to whom we are in
within sight of whero this coarse
fare is served there i3 within smell
of it another on jrhich fresh beef

tables rice and on Sundays cake
syrnp and tea are placed The
convict learns that ho can sit at
this table and enjoy tho food there-
on if he works diligently and faith
fully conducts himself properly
and irivea little trouble to thft wyr
denaudhis assistantsHe also
learns that thoso who sit at this
tablo aro allowed considerable lib

walks after every meaL
The desire to sit at this table is
great Men who do not like to
work enjoy good living and nro
generally willing to bo at consider-
able pains to secure it The in-
mates of this penitentiary ordina
rily adopt such a course as enable
them to sit at tho better table
within a few months of their en
trance When taking their first
breakfast at it they perceive the
odor of beefsteak mutton chops
hot rolls and fine coffee that pro
debted for whatever of civil and i coeds from an adjoining room
religious liberty we enjoy andffihey learn that there are roast

In en article headed Be Calm
the Fort Worth Gazette says tho
following about the prohibition
campaign Tho utterance of our
public men and the columns of
our nawspnpers will bo looked to
for a reflection of the sort of peo
ple that compose our population
Those who desiro to preservo the
the good name nnd fair fame of
the state should be careful If
bilingsgate is used wo will bo re-
garded as a lot of blackguards if
preachers and priests are assailed
we will be called blasphemers if
bribery is charged won ill bo es-
teemed purchasable vagabonds if
tho sixshooter is used wo will be
called murderers if rotten eggs
whisky bottles and stones are
thrown we will bo called hood-
lums if free speech is denied we
will be called bulldozers and ty-
rants By their fruits ye shall
know tbcni will bo applied to us
We will be judged by tho experi
ments by those fallen leaves that
are whisked about by the winds of
passion rather than by the sober
common sense of tho great body of
the people If the question is ac-
cepted as one upon which honest
men may honestly differ if each
side will discuss the question ably
and intelligently as it can do if
newspapers will taboo vulgarisms
and rowdy expressions if public
speakers will damn the proposed
amendment instead of the preach
ers and if public writers will uso
tvant sorrow and crime factMtho languago of sober decency
then prohibition may rise or fall
antiprohibition may fade away or
Sourish Texas will retain her self
respect and the respect of her bis

coal of good quality has been found
but this is not jet established
The granite and marble are of
great value and abundant On
tho Colorado river at Marble falls
andabovo and below that point
water power sufficient to turn tho
wheels of all tho factories of New
England is available to enterprise
At this time thero aro at least tv o

granite beds and Marble falls and
to tho iron and coal fields of that
district Tho Farmers Alliance of
Texas with a membership of 250
000 and perhaps an availablo cap-
ital of not less than So0000000
have formed tho project of estab-
lishing manufactories at the falls
having purchasod the water power
there and it is now understood
are preparing plans and making
arrangements to utilize their pur-
chase Their movement is this
enterprise certainly deserves suc-

There isscarcely an American author who
during the past ten yean has achieved
marked celebrity at home or in England
