the honor system in Ohio, a little

plain facts about the system as ex
plained by the warden:
Abou ::00 men are working in the
open air on their honor. A big per
centage of the men are building
roads for the state. Guards are'nt
"itvded; an overseer bosses the work
: he largest p?r cent of "honor men"
aro life termers. They wear blue
overalls like ordinary laborers and
have Sunday clothes. Thye go to
church on Sundays. Tney work 8
hours a day. They are paid five
cents an hour; ninety per cent goes
to their dependents, the rest to
them. Less than one per cent have
tried to escape in a year. Honor
men have all served from one to
fi.ieen years behind bars. One pris
oner who was recently sent out to
work "on hishonor" after sixteen
years behind the bars, was badly
l i:t"ned by a passing automobile,
lie is serving a life sentence for
murder."

DEAD HORSES
Washington, Feb. 3— -"Paying for
a dead horse" is no more agreeable
to the United States than to a pri
vate individual, even when the de
funct animal is assessed at the
modest pnc® of $50.
Comptroller George 12. Downey, of
the Treasury has just issued a rul
ing that under certain c rcumstances
Uncle Sam will pay for a horse that
dies in t* i service of its couutry
hereafter, but that nothing will be
paid for the horse that sacrificed
its life iu the altar of patriotism
on April 12 1912.
On April 12,1912, a member of
the forestry service in Colorado hir
ed a horse which died late on the
same day. It was discovered that
the Secretary of Agriculture, under
whose jurisdiction the forestry bur
eau comi.s, had no authority to pay
for the animal. Accordingly on
-March 4, last, Congress passed a
law permitting the Secretary to re
imburse owners of hotsfs which in
the future die iu government harn
ess.
Col. F. G. Caffey, solicitor for
the Department of Agriculture, in a
recent opin'on, held that as this act
was of a remedial nature, it should
work restrospectively as well as
prospectively. Comptroller Downey
held otherwise; so only the dead
horses of the future will be paid
for.
It is reported that the natives
around Seldovia are in a starving
condition, and but for the generous
way in which T. A. Herbert, the
merchant there, helps them their
I conditio.! would be far worse.
