REHABILITATION OF CRIMINAL
Placing the restoration of the crim-
inal to society above his earnings in
the production of prison-made goods
was the outstanding conclusion
adopted by the Eastern-Southern Con*
ference on State Institutional Labor
recently held at Richmond, Va... A
report of the special committee
adopted by the conference, just re-
ceived, contains the following:
“It seems obvious to the commit-
tee that the public can acquire the
best protection in the lonz run by
the restoration of the criminal to so-
ciety on a social basis; tnat the re-
habilitation of the prisoners should
really assume the place of first im-
portance in any schedule of prison or-
ganization ,and that his training with
a view to his return to social life
should not be considered as secondary
to his direct earnings in the manu-
~ facture of products while he is segre-
galed in a correctional institution.
“It is highly important that prison-
ers should be furnished with occupa-
tions, both as a matter of training and
in order to protect their mental and
~ physical health. We believe that to
organize a correctional system intelli-
gently on this basis will require a
careful survey of the potential mar-
ket in order to indicate just what ‘in-
what extent they should be developed,
“and, as far as will be necessary, a
certain standardization of prison-made
goods should be adopted in order that
the prison-made products may be ac-
ceptable to the possible purchasers.
“The committee ,therefore, recom-
~ mends that each state proceed to make
a careful survey of the potential mar-
ket for prison-made goods and pro-
ducts within its borders, at the same
time taking into consideration the
training of the prison inmates. The
committee feels that organization of
* prison industries under. the state sys-
tem will make for a great diversifica-
tion of products in each institution
and will tend to distribute the producis
over a great number of lines or com-
modities and afford much better op-
portunities for training of the prison
inmates.

~ MAKING EVERYBODY'S JOB SAFE
The weakest spot in the new eco-
nomics which we have been evolving
in America since the war was sharply
‘disclosed when the financial crash of
last Fall threw millions of wage-
“earners out of work. The principles
on which American industry has been
rebuilt call for continuous employ-
ment, if the worker is to be,also the
* principal ccnsumer.
As was to be expected ,the atten-
tion of industrial leaders is now being
focussed upon the problem of insuring
“every worker’s job. That must. be
the next step, if we are to maintain
‘the standards we have set for our-
selves. It may sound chimerical to

Brown Sentiment Growing
The candidacy of Francis Shunk
Brown, prominent attorney and busi-
ness man, for the office of Governor
of Pennsylvania, is receiving very en-
couraging reports from all over Penn-
sylvania.
The most surprising reports are
coming from the agricultural districts,
heretofore Pinchot strongholds, which
now are swinging to Brown. ?
It seems that the farmers feel that
Pinchot was elected by their vote
seven years ago and after occupying
the governor's chair for four years
failed to do any material good for
their interests.
Pinchot’s popularity with the labor-
ing man is also on the wane, and
with the desertion of thousands of
farmers and laboring men his can-
didacy is lesing ground materially.
From Notable Family
Francis Shunk Brown, a grandson
of a former governor of Pennsylvania
and a great grandson of another,
comes from one of the oldest farnilies
in the’ State.
Born on a farm, raised as the scn
of an agriculturist, Attorney Brown is
an owner of a 400-acre farm and man-
ages it in addition to taking care of
his extensive law practice.
On Election Law Commissicn
Two years ago when the Stafe
Legislature passed a bill to create an
election devise and
recommend laws so that elections in
this Commonwealth can be simplified,
together with them more
honest, Governor Fisher recognized
Francis Shunk Brown's ability as a
lawyer, his integrity as a gentleman,
and placed him on this commisiscn.

about-face and is attempting to ap-
peal to the farmers of Pennsylvania
and the American Federation of Labor
of Pennsylvania ‘for votes. Senator
Grundy is finding it difficult to re-
tract his forty years activity and woik
against these organizatons and his un-
usual activity on the floor .of the
United States Senate when in his ats
tempt to place certain provisions in
the tariff bill which ‘would benefit
certain industries of Pennsylvania, he

ators who came from agricultural

farmers of Pennsylvania who will cast

ponent, James J. Davis.

Kehoe for Turpin
C. Murray Turpin’s candidacy for
Congress is swinging along in fine
shape with Jack Kehoe, the Pittston
political boss, assuring him a five
thousand ‘majority in the upper end of
the county.
Murrays’ opponent, John Kmetz, of
Nanticoke, who is endorsed onc hun-
dred per cent. by labor and other
organizations, seems to be in good
spirits, notwithstanding Turpin's brag
of the Kehoe-Langan machine sup-
port. This contest will prove interest-
ing before the 20th of May.
Favors Child Labor
Senator Grundy, it is said, regards
child labor as follows: “Many chil-
dren are better off in factories than
spending their time at home cr on
the street.”
the heads of big industries whe believe
that ways can and will be found, at
least in the major industries ,to guar-
antee every workersa minimum yearly
income, sufficient to live on comfort-
ably, and which in o:dinarily pros-
perous times will be greatly exceeded.
Governor Roosevelt of New York in
March appointed a committee to con-
sider “a long time program for indus-
trial stabilization and prevention of
unemployment.” In its first prelim-
inary report this committee states that
more than two hundred of the largest
coiporations in the United States have
worked out plans for steady employ-
ment the year around.
L. F. Loree, president of the Dela-
ware & Hudson aRilroad, told the Na-
ware & Hudson Railroad, told the Na-
other day, how his road has provided
for continuous employment and for
taking cdre of men who are disabled
or otherwise unable to work. Mr.
Lotee voiced the most advanced
philosophy of modern industry when
he said: “You can get more out of
changing the relationship between the
men and the company than out of the
application of new machinery and new
processes.”
The time may be closer than any-
body yet dreams when such a thing
do not want to work or are unable to
work, will be unknown in America.
That will be the longest step toward
the economic millenium which any na-
as unemployment, except of those who
some, but there are hundreds among
tion could take.

' Our newly discovered planet neigh-
bor, circling around the sun far out
beyond Neptune, is the most interest-
ing news item. :
We are only a little more than
90,000,000 miles from the sun. This
new planet, about the size of our
earth, is 1,335,000,000 miles from the
sun. :
Multiply that by six and you will
know, approximately, the length of
the far-off planet’s journey around the
sun.
On that planet, one lives 3,200 earth
years to be a year old.
To see the new neighbor, look now.
It will be visible with earth’s tele-
scopes only ‘about a hundred years
longer, and then be hidden for 3,000
years, while it finishes one of its own
years. :
Jack TIempsey, once‘ heavyweight
ch-ompion, will go to Africa to kill
lions, elephants, giraffes, hippopota-
muses and rhinoceroses. On one of
his “safaris,” that’s what the British
call a hunting expedition, Mr. Dempsey |:
hinks he may pick out a colored
heavyweight.

and bootleg products after they got

If Mr. Dempsey should meet one of
the big red-haired, eight-foot-tall
gorillas of the Gaboon country, he'd
be surprised.
That kind . of heavyweight could
stroll along dragging Dempsey with
one hand, Carnera with the other.
Money is international. Its power,
and respect for it, are international.
Now, .along lines of government by
high finance, comes an international
bank.
Gates W. McGarrah was chosen head
of it, Pierre Quesney, marvellously
able French financier, only 85, was
chosen general manager.
Mr. McGarrah is considered one of
the ablest financiers in the United
States.
Pierre Quesney represents the acute
financial intelligence of the French,
illustrated in the fact that, so soon
after a gigantic war, they have a bil-
lion dollars in gold to the credit of
France in this country.
What the big bank will be, time will
tell.
Andrew Jackson is interested in it,
if he still keeps track of earthly
matters.
The intelligent people of this coun-
try are grateful to President Hoover
for his constant warnings against
Congressional extravagance. In digni-
fied Presidential language he says
what David Warfield said to Lillian
Russell in the Weber and Fields days.
Warfield, in the play, meets Lillian
Russell in Paris, invites her to supper
and says: “Go as far as you like.”
Beautiful Lillian orders 10 or 15 differ-
ent dishes. Then Warfield says:
“Missus, because it don’t cost you
nothing, don’t make yourself sick.”
It doesn’t cost Congress anything to
spend billions, taken from the people,
but if Congress goes too far it will
make the country sick.
Prosperity will not boom if you
. persuade the man with money that it
is better to invest in tax-exempt
securities than in enterprises giving
employment. That will happen if gov-
ernment reaches in and takes too much
from incomes.
Oklahoma unveils a fine statue to
the pioneer woman. Women have al-
ways been earth’s real pioneers, in
ideas and in action.
Far back in the Stone Age they had
produced all the grains we know, by
developing the seeds of wild plants.
They tamed female buffalos to pro-
vide milk for their children, planted
gardens, changed human beings from
a nomadic to a settled life.
They are pioneers of the frontiers
and pioneers in ideas and in religion.
The influence of mothers on their
sons in the last million years has
changed men from prognathous canni-
bals to semi-civilized money-grubbers.
William Manck, 48 years a letter
carrier, absent only one week in 48
years, retires. His superiors shake
hands with him and are photographed
doing it. That’s kind, but Uncle Sam
‘might do more.
He might give William Manck and
other faithful servants of the post-
office ‘a generous pension on which
they could live comfortably when their
hard work is done.
And without waiting for them to be
worn out he might give them generous
pay.
The richest employer in the world
should be at least just. :

Dear Editor:
Why all the howl in the Sunday
papers about the police situation in
Dallas? The Sunday writer, who con~
tinually harps about the present high
cost of police protection in Dallas
borough must have gotten a new in-
sight into police expenditures since a
few summers ago when it was neces-
sary for four police officers to protect
this verdant village at a cost of six
or seven hundred dollars, an expendi-
ture from which the borough realized
hardly a farthing. And is Officer
Avery the only out-of-town man who
ever held down a police job im Dal-
las? The other side of the fence
makes wu lot of difference in a man’s
point of view, but it ought not to af-
fect his memory.
