Cole B'.eose, retiring as kov
oruor oi South Carolina afie.
turning more than 3,000 convicts
loose, says that he believes the re
cord lie has made will count foi
Uiui beyond the grave. He is sure
that it will win the favor of tiod u
it does not please all men.
I! lease seems to miss entire!)
one of the most sinister consequen
ces oi his work. He does not real
ue that he has beeu destroying
men, body and soul, by; his efforts
to break down the penalties the
laws have imposed upon criminals.
Where and when such a gover
nor is in power boys and young
men, balancing between right iuiu
wrong, between industry and thiev
i.i£. decent living and vice, are
tipped over to the evil side by the
ioddliug of crime. They are leu
*3 feel that wickedness does not
mean much, anyway, that it is
quite safe to break the laws aud
defy the protective forces of so
c'tty. They start down to destruc
tion because the head of the state
tenuis them to make light of law
lessness.
And many a convict turned loose
w j'ii his sentence only begun, is en
couraged to go on preying upon so
fisty. He feels that if he is
caught and proved guilty it will noi
amount to much. The governor Oi
ais state has smoothed the way foi
hiai to utter corruption and flnai
ruin.
Few men in the country are so
dangerous to Individuals or to so
ciety as the public officials who
imagine that they are saving con
victs when they ore only making
hardened lawbreakers of them aud
starting many others on the road
to destruction.
i'HK "IMPORTED" ERROR
Oae hesitatwj to believe it, even
of Pittsburg. But it is cir
cumstantially reported that a
"Made in America" exhibition pro
posed iu that city was abandoned
• 011 account of the popular, though
t-rioneous, impression that Euro
pean manufactures are superior."
I i other words, It 13 alleged that
manufacturers asked to exhibit
their wares in Pittsburg hated co
let their customers know the goods
were ' made in America."
Th© thing is not wholly incom
prehensible. The old notion that
imported articles are necessarily
better than home-made goods dies
hard. It has been kept alive very
likely by the fact that imported
goods are usually the highest
priced. It applies with particular
l'srce to some lines, such as wool
e-.s, cutlery, millinery, velours,
U.;:s and brier pipes. It is under
^aud-ble that American makers of
surh goods, competing successfully
with foreign proudcts, might hesi
i«le to have the home origin of
ilwir lines emphasized.
As to many kiuds of manufac
tures, however, no such supersti
tion exists. Americans do not re
gard American-made firearms,
furniture, motor cars, shoes,
watches, machinery and many other
products as inferior to th06e made
anywhere else in the world. That
the objection mentioned should be
considered applicable to lines of
goods likely to be exhibited in
Pittsburg seems astonishing. Even
more astounding is the fact that
the basis of the alleged objection
10 the exhibition is the very error
which the exhibition must have
been intended to correct!
In any case it is unanimously
agreed it is high time this erron
eous though common impression
were set right. To that end a
large concerted effort is under way
among club women. When the
women are convinced the country
will be converted, not only because
in most families women are the
principal buyers and ruling spirits,
but also becaus« th« "imported"
superstition has flourished espec
ially among women—witness the
long prosperous New York trade in
"imported" gowns whose only iiu
| ported features were the liigli
prices and the "Made in Paris"
labels.
Evidently the Pittsburg idea,
that because error exists no attempt
should be made to correct it, is not
to interefere with the "Made in
lT. S. A." campaign of education. It
should go on until all Americans
learn that American-made goods
are as likely to be good as any
made anywhere—and that it is a
pretty fair idea to buy them
whether they are or not.—Cleveland
Leader.

GOOD NEWS
Many Alaska Readers Have Hoard
It and Profiled Thereby.
"Good news travels fast," aud
the bad back sufferers in this vic
inity are glad to learn where re
lief may be found. Many a lame,
weak and aching back is bad ho
more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pllb.
Thousands upon thousands of ueo
rlo are telling tlie coed newa of
their experience with this tested
remedy. Here is an example w->r-h
reading:
P. H. Wieland, 1002 10. 41st St..
Los Angeles, C.U., says: "For a
long time I sufi'erod from pains m
the small of my back and I coull
scarcely get around. My kidneys
were disordered and the kidney se
cretions were highly colored and
irregular in passige. Doan's Kid
uey Pills relieved the lameness an.I
weakness and removed all trouble
with the kidneys. I have had no
return of tho complaint."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
sJmply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doau's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Wieland had. Foster-Mll
