THE DOOR OF HOPE FOR PRISONERS (Editorial .'r m the AphevlUe CUi'ten) Speaking o: Wete prisone.'s a. 1 1 1 policy toward them, Gove: r -c..*' gay;!. - “I am <i> uaitici to Dante's ‘all h-mc ; u r 1 n ' ■ ter here,’ sr ) far as it off : n. 1 w n to have hope, and intend to I; ffd th door of hope open.’ And po the Governor, be" ing in the wisdom of I - npe :ri|* •he seve • of the penal cede with common-sen *. justice a d mercy, is carrying on th" policy of granting commutations and indet *minatc •entences, which was begun by G vernor Morris* n. Then ; Governor McLean describes work of. simple yet long neglected justice that j will commend itself to every citizen who has ever taken time to reflect. upon the errors and oppressions that are bound to creep into the adminis tration of justice under the customs existing since time immemorial. The Governor says: “In addition, J have asked Mr. Sink, the pardon commissioner, now that he has cleared some of the work that had accumulated when he was appointed, to go through the central prison at Raleigh and the several camps and look up some of those for whom no intercession had been made. There are old men there, and some old women, folks who have never had anybody to present their cases. 1 want these cases looked into. I want to find out who they are.” Other North Carolina Governors have taken thought for these friend less men and women who, from one cause or another, have been con demned to endure punishment beyond all fair limits of measuring offense and penalty; and Governor McLean, too, is convinced that the State is withholding liberty from some who have paid in full their debt for break ing the laws of the State. Some day this principle will be car ried further in North Carolina’s penal discipline. Men and women without relatives or friends will not be thrust into jail to wait months on a jury trial, sometimes unjustly denied or unable to give the law any security for their appearance. There will be in every county some official friend of the friendless culprit, actual or alleged, who will provide the legal advice and aid which offenders with money may have in such abundance that the law is hard put to it to pre vent their receiving justice. This unpire of the law will be familiar with jails from frequent visits, and his reports on how the jail population lives will foster a public opinion strong enough to guarantee that men and women shall live in decent sur roundings while serving or awaiting trial. The growth of humane feelings to ward prisoners in North Carolina is not maudlin sentimentality. Gover nor McLean for that matter, is no sentimentalist. His ideas about the just punishment of crime are rigid enough to suit any reasonable up holders of the laws as they are on the books. But the Governor and an increasing number of his fellow-citi zens are determined that the “ma jesty of the law” shall not be des poiled by deliberate or thoughtless cruelties and brutalities committed upon helpless humanity. A SENSIBLE PROPOSITION (Editorial from the R;leigh Times) The investigation which Governor McLean now proposes to have made of Caswell Training School to us seems an eminently common sense affair. He is naming a committee of experts and laymen to inventory the stock of students on hand and see whether they are the sort of matricu lates for which the school is intend ed. It is common knowledge that many of them are not. Some of them, in stead of being feeble minded, just aren’t minded at all. It was never in tended to attempt to train these and Caswell was not erected for the pur pose of taking care of them. The institution, however, wa3 cover ed up in a deluge of idiots and mon strosities. Whose fault it was does not matter at this time. There would be a tremendous howl if the manage ment of the school itself started to clean house. Manifestly the help of the Governor and of the Legislature both will be needed before the institu tion is given a chance to function as intended. As a bluffer between the people who have wittingly or unwit tingly victimized the school a commit tee of disinterested persons should serve a useful purpose. Recommendations m: de by then, may be accepted by the Governor and with his endorsement perhaps some of them may be put into force by the management. At the next session of the Legislature, anyhow, if the new broom continues of a mind to sweep, something can actually be done to make a training school of the institu tion. f’.-n Appzcrc to II ; Little on the o~tr’cS The next morning w? forded scori-a > ot small ‘treams, So coid tuat they ; Vcre like ice water, as they ..re fed Wy melted snow from Mt.

As ] as they were a hundred yards i ; ah; a;! they would put on an added spurt and cross the road, often slip- , ping and falling as their feet struck j tile hard roadbed. When they had reached the other side they would top and watch us go by, seemingly perfectly contented and satisfied that they had crossed the road. This would happen a dozen times in an hour — they always did the same thing, no matter which side of the road they happen d to he grazing on.—Martin \ Johnson in the World’s Work.

Dress *or Dinner Dressing up for dinner is not ex cluded to the class of people we cal! •ociety. It should be a practice in every botne, even though the dressing up consists of a clean gingham dress. ] And it shtuild not he excluded to the j wife and mother, but each individual i should observe this rule as well. Chll- j dren should be taught the habit in the j high-chair days. mils custom not only takes the family out of the “shiftless class" but aids digestion as well. An unkempt person at the table spoils the appetite of the rest of the family and makes the dinner less appetizing and less at tractive. And when the member of I 1 the family who has cooked that dinner has labored so hard over it that she ■ is “just too tired to dress” she has defeated her purpose.—Exchange. Fcir Warning A china store, situated at the inter section of two Paris streets much fre- | quented by motor trucks and taxis, , | very often receives the engine of an 1 omnibus or the wheel of a truck or a taxi carburetor through its plate glass : show window. Consequently, two watchmen have been posted before the door, on either side of which is a notice reading, “No Thoroughfare.” No doubt the plate glass will now be safe from the impetuosity of drivers whose feet itch for the accelerator.

It is famous not only as the | place of imprisonment of Mary Queen of Scots, in 1507-08, but also as the scene of her escape May 2, 1508. While j there, Mary was compelled to sign her | abdication in favor of her infant son, \ James, and to accept the earl of Mur- j ray as regent of the kingdom. An in- ! teresting account of these events is j given In Sir Waiter Scott's novel, “The ! Abbot.” The castle was built in 1257, and served as a royal residence in the j time of Alexander 111. It was be- ! sieged by the English in 1301, and again In 1335. Patrick Graham, first archbishop of St. Andrew’s, and the earl of Northumberland, were impris i oned there. The former died within its walls in 1447. —Kansas City Star. Fruits Save the Teeth Dentists now come to the front with authoritative statements that fresh ! fruits are the best desserts for the teetli and that they act as a dentriftce. Pastry and other sweets are well ; known to he not so good for the teeth Fresh fruits have a cleansing effect on the teeth, the dentists say, not only because of their cellulose libers , hut also because the vegetable acids | they contain stimulate a flow of saliva I which keeps the mouth clean. Fruit , juice in infancy is known to be valu able adjunct to the proper develop ment of the teeth, anti continued through childhood to furnish the sweets and keep up the work of keep ing the teeth sound. —Kansas City Star.
