A GOVERNOR AND HIS HONOR SYSTEM

Which Goes to Show That Men May Be Manufactured From Those Branded Convicts by Their Fellows. Colonel Miller's Tulips.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. It is line to be an optimist. Such is Mr. Edward Bok, the gentlemanly and mllll tnaire owner of the Ladies Home Journal. Running along the edge of his country place, outside the boundary line, is a rivulet of spring flowers of brilliant Hue and tremendous decorative ef feet. Nothing separates them from the roadway. Any may pluck as they pass by. But the flowers remain intact. For Mr. Bok is not only an optimist but a diplomat. Gentle signs being interpolated at intervals bearing the legend "these flowers are under the protection of the public." . , Maybe this might be affcacious in Richmond say in the Reeves addition. There is nothing like putting the public on its honor now and then. Especially in an exposed, conspicuous, electric-lighted spot. As is, presumably, the out-lying hedges of Mr. Bok's estate. Nonetheless it is an interesting

commentary on a subject animadverted upon here some days ago. Putting people on their honor is not always successful. "Honor systems" at schools and colleges are frequently honored in the breach rather than in the observance. But, in the long run, an honor test wins out. Fascinating are the accounts of its success which come over the Rockies from Oregon. Governor West, of that state, evidently something of a man anda good deal of a governor, has Instituted it in the state's penal system. When he announced his intention of putting out certain picked lots of convicts to work on the grounds of state institutions In various parts of the commonwealth and to be hired out for road-making and other out of door occupations without guards or in the prison garb "putting them on their honor" there was one loud howl from publicists, philanthropists, politicians, and other diverse sources. The Governor, however, pursued his theoretical course which turned out to be extraordinarily practical. For in but one instance was his confidence abused. Only one man "beat it." There is something picturesque in a Governor telephoning down to the penitentiary and telling the chief in authority to send down a life convict to the former's office. The startled chief expostulated, but the Governor repeated his request. And the walking into the office of

the life convict who hadn't been out of the institution for years. With his answer to the Governor's queston, asking him why he hadn't beat it, to the effect that he didn't have the nerve after he'd been shown that somebody trusted him. Striking, dramatically, too, the sending of another convict, a skilled mechanic, to Portland to stay as long as he could to find out the latest Improved mechanisms for the making of shoes and his return with the desired Information and recommendations and the putting him in charge of the department with all the new machinery installed. Still more so the Governor's manner

of commuting the death sentence of a murderer and placing him at . the head of a table in the dining-room with I his wife and daughter on either side j

the while each convict who defiled past him shook his hand. This Governor West is "some man." It takes courage of a heroic character to do these things. Because they run counter to convention.

Convention, as said here the other day, is the one artificial invention which hangs like a mill-stone round the neck of humanity, strangling and throttling its divinity. It is the handcuff which shackles progress. The iron and chain that manacles freedom.

Home Treatment for Tuberculosis I Consumptive patients need no longer dread either the fate that formerly overtook all sufferers from lung trouble, , or costly and inconvenient jour- ; neys far from home to other climates or to some expensive sanatorium. Hundreds are now staying quietly at home, ! restoring themselves to health at the

cost of a few bottles of medicine. Here is one who speaks from experience: 220 S. 4th St., Colwyn (Darby), Pa. "Gentlemen: For four years I was troubled with cough, which gradually became worse. A physician pronounced my case Consumption, and I was ordered to a Consumptive hospital. My nephew would 'not allow me to go until I had tried Eckman's Alterative. Before I had taken the medicine three weeks I commenced getting well. I am

in excellent health now and have been completely cured for ten years. I strongly recommend it." (Signed) (MRS.) MARY WASSOX. Eckman's Alterative is effective in Bronchitis, Asthma, Hay Fever; Throat and Lung Troubles, and in upbuilding the system. Does not con. tain poisons, opiates or habit-forming drugs. For sale by A. G. Luken and Co., and other leading druggists. Ask for booklet telling of recoveries and write to Eckman Laboratory, Philadelphia, Pa., for additional evidence. Here is a man who recognizes something above mere tradition; man-made law. The responsibility of the more enlightened toward their less fortunate brothers. The impulse that propels humanity upward. Nothing is more dismal than the spectacle of one set of human beings incarcerating and torturing and punishing another set. As society is now constituted cruel

injustices must be practiced. And social sores healed through seemingly drastic measures. This is not as it should be. It simply is. Governor West, however, sees the opportunity of his position. As near as he may, he approaches to the ideal of human brotherhood. So far as in his power he banishes injustice. In the most superlative degree within his jurisdiction he flies the standard of altrurianism.

And runs up the flag of social revolution. A recognition that no individual or set of individuals has any human or God-given right to bar the way to any other individual or set of individuals. This column nominates Governor

West for President of the United States and Ruler of the World. To return to Mr. Bok's rivulet of flowers there is one in Richmond which everyone should see or have seen in its floral apogee the brilliant display of tulips in the grounds of the residence of Mr. John F. Miller on North Tenth street. Brilliantly they flaunt in a wide bed which borders the. south side of the lawn from front to rear and they fur-

ther display their gorgeous color and

stately form on either side the front entrance. Tulips in every fine nuance of shade. Red. yellow, white, pink, mauve. There is nothing more effective than the massing of colors, or material, or like. And tulips ate an occult flower. Their origin and history are alluring. Their Dutch environ picturesque. Like poppies, they have a certain flaunting impertinence that gives them fascination. A tulip is not a beautiful woman. But a handsome wench. They aren't gallery pictures. But scenic paintings. And every tulip preserves its individ

uality. It stands off every other tulip. It permits no familiarity. It lures but rebuffs. Tulips are-, indeed, a charming floral asset and one which pays in heavy returns of color, decoration and perfume.

For the latter is not the least of this flower's delights. The perfume from a tulip is exotic and rare. It has an oriental suggestion and conjures up mirage-like visions. Take a walk down North Tenth street and see Colonel Mllwv

It la natural for a child to laush and' play and when It sulks dromly or cries you may depend on it something physical is the matter. If you see no evidences of a serious ailment you will not be wrong- If you quietly rive it a dose of mild laxative that evening on putting it to bed. The remedy most generally recommended for this purpose is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which mothers throughout the country hae been slving their children for a quarter of a century. Today thousands of families are using it where hundreds used it then, and there roust be rood reason for this word of mouth recommendation. It Is admittedly the perfect laxative for children, women, old people and all others who need a gentle bowel stimulant and not a violent salt, cathartic pill or doctored water. lr. Caldwell's Svrup Pepsin will act gently, and when taken before, retiring will bring com

plete satisfaction In tn tnornlnr. After a short use of this remedy all forms of outside aid can be dispensed with and nature will agaia act alone.
