PRISONERS MISTREATED The death of four convicts in the Philadelphia County prison, where they were scalded to death by live steam turned into their cells during a hunger strike, is a tragedy that should serve as a warning to the people of the United States. The punishment inflicted on these convicts, who were helpless to resist, was brought to light only because four of the convicts died. Nobody knowns how many convicts, in other prisons,x have suffered severe pun ishment without the acts of the of ficials coming to the attention of the public. The Enterprise does not believe that anything like a majority of the officials employed in our penal in stitutions are brutal. At the same time, startling disclosures which come to light occasionally, indicate that there are some very callous in dividual persons in positions where they can wreak vengeance upon prisoners they dislike. Until a tragic affair turns the spotlight on a specific prison, no one has any idea what goes on. We do not believe in "coddling" prisoners. Their punishment should not become a glorified vacation from the cares and responsibilities of the outside world. At the same time, those convicted of violating the laws of our Government and sentenced by society to terms of imprisonment, have the right to expect just, humane and reasonable treatment That many of them fail to receive this kind of treatment is a sad commen tary on our penal institutions. ITS TIME FOR THE FAIRS It is estimated that something like three thousand county and communi ty fairs will be staged in the United States during the next few months. These community fairs wiH. range between the extremes of excellence and worthlessness. Some of them will merely be an excuse for cheap carnival companies to set up mid ways that are marked by various gambling devices and undesirable shows. Others will present instruc tion through educational exhibits and aid in the development of trade and the upbuilding of the community in which they are held by the program set forth. The managers and direc tors of every community fair have the option of determining the char acter of the event, that they will stage. . . In this connection, it is worth call ing attention to the fact that the United States Government appro priates millions of dollars for par ticipation in large fairs, such as the exhibitions to be staged by San Fran cisco and New York in the near fu ture. The Government, through va rious departments, also participates in various State fairs and, occasional ly, in some of the smaller events. If the Government can participate in the exhibitions held by large cities and provide millions of dollars for so doing, we see no reason why the Government cannot mate an appro priation each year, of at least three to five million dollars, to provide for educational exhibits at the vari ous county, or community fair in the nation. Of course, it will not he pos sible for the Government to be repre sented at every community gathering, but some participation is possible for hundreds of these fairs which an nually attract thousands and thous ands of people. > SALE MADE AT Knott's Warehouses THIS WEEK ? ?

I " NEW AIR BASES I Many Americans do not realize ? that the route across the Pacific Ocean by way of Alaska and the | Aleutians Islands is 1,400 miles shorter than by way of Hawaii. This explains the interest that the Army and Navy is taking in the establish ment of air bases in Alaska. The Navy has established a permanent j seaplane base at Sitka, and wants a i base at Kodiak Island. The Army high command, it is said, will request funds for the establishment of an Army Air base at Fairbanks, Juneau or Gustaffson's Point.

Parade The calliope will sound in Green ville September 20, when the Great Bobbins Bros, Circus with Hoot Gib son, the famous Western movie star arrives for its engagement. The red wagon Is an American institution, rts coming isliailed with delight and each year; thousands of schools are suspended for the day that the stu dents may revel in the delights of rircus day. To many, especially busi ness men and captains of industry, the physical side of the circus elicits a great deal of interest They marvel at the machine-like precision by which the great show is transported from city to city. Here today and tomorrow perhaps 200 miles away in another state. Fre quently a large circus goes for sev eral years without missing a single performance. The answer to it all is this: In no other branch of human endeavor is an organization so per fected as with the circus. More than 300 performers take part in this season's Bobbins Bros. Circus, mey nail irom io ioreign countries. Almost every nation nas contributed its stars among them be ing Miss Nadine St. John, famous Ural Mountain elephant trainer. This season a gorgeous and fantastic spec tacle. "La Argentina," filled with charm, romance and gayety, opens the big show. An immense and spectatcular street parade with a congress of the various nations of the earth will be seen on the downtown streets at 11 a. m. It is more than one mile in length; up wards of 1,000 men, women and hor ses will be seen in the pageant along with twenty elephants and a cara van of camels. Five trumpeting bands and two calliopes will be heard. Doors to the menagerie will open at 1 and 7 p. m. The big show wili start at 2 and 8 p. m.
