PRISON BREAKS
The prison break in California is more than an act ol
desperate criminals. It is a warning.
For years San Quentin Penitentiary has beer
scandalously over-crowded. Built to hold 3.000 men, ii
houses nearly 6.000. Recently a prison investigator return
ed to Washington after visiting San Quentin. He predietec
early trouble there as a result ol overcrowding and idleness
Not long ago Alexander Paterson, Commissioner ol
Prisons for England and Wales, visited and studied Ameri
can prisons. He was shocked at the lack ol room and work
in many of them. He ventured the suggestion that wt
shorten our senselessly long prison sentences, increase the
use of parols and probation, lit prison population to prison
capacity or vice versa, provide daily program of state-use
work and other activity.
The Wickersham Commission discovered alarming
conditions of overcrowding and idleness. The recent Ul
man committee report to NRA suggested a nation-wide pro
gram for industrialization of prisons for employment ol
prisoners on state-use work.
Why should it require such cruel lessons to teach the
States that idle men huddled into close quarters will plo1
riots and jail deliveries.—New York World Telegram.
WATCII THE WIRE
Blondin crossing Niagra Falls on a wire with a man on
his back was just an old smoothie compared to the sight that
Uncle Sam presents at the present time.
There are 22,370,000 persons on the federal relief pay
rolls—about a sixth of the total population.
During the first eight months of the current fiscal year
Uncle Sam lived 82,249,923,235 beyond his income.
The gross public debt is now $28,525,994,302—two thou
sand five hundred million dollars^higher that last year.
If the wire of our credit should ever snap, Uncle Sam
who is doing a Blondin with this triple burden on his back
would fall into the Devil’s.Whirlpool, from which no mar
has ever been fished.
The time has gone by when business men and property
owners in any municipality are justified in taking the atti
tude of “letting George do it.” If they don't wake up the
politicians will be running their business for them.

I)1D YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Sheldon F. Sackett, Publisher of the Marehfield (Ore
gon) Times, says:
"Business does not stand still; it marches ahead or fails.
The merchant who consistently, thoughtfully and carefully
advertises, using newspapers to carry his message, is invar
iably a merchant who is reaching out to improve the con
dition of his business.
“Advertising is a show window of salesmanhip; a chal
lenge in time of adversity.
"The constantly increasing interest of people in news of
this very complex world in which we live makes me feel
very certain that the newspaper is the best place to put the
Merchant’s Message.”
