Howard, "that men have died from
the administration of excessive and
inhuman punishment.”
It was stated, he ~>*d. that several
mutinies had occurred in the prison
within the last three months and it
was alleged "that these mutinies were
actuated by a lack of respect on the
part of the prisoners toward the ex
ecutive and officials of the prison."
"It is charged also," sqld the Con
gressman, "that < ertain men former
ly employed at the prison were dis
charged by the warden on suspicion
of inciting convicts to mutiny, and
that the moral tone surrounding pris
oners is of such a character as to
create a spirit of disrespect for the

Congressman Howard said that ac
tion could be had on a “privilege res
olution" within seven days after Its
introduction on the floor of the
House
"I have no personal interest what
ever in seeking this investigation.”
Mr Howard said. "As an official of

Will You Be a Spug?
A spug—according to our incompar
able friend, “The Optimist”—is a
member of the new-horn “Society for
the Prevention of Useless Giving.”
To he a spug, stop useless giving.
This sounds easier than it is, for use
less giving has become almost as much
a part of Christmas as the word
“merry.”
The mission of the spug is to spug
this bad, costly, nerve-racking custom.
This long-delayed necessity was born
in New York. Mrs. August Belmhnt is
said to be the mother of the idea. May
blessings be upon her head and all who
join this Society for the Prevention of
Useless Giving.
There are no initiation fees or annual
dues. There are no personal require
ments, physical or mental. Neither race,
creetl nor color makes a difference.
All you do is to stop useless giving.
Be a spug!
Below are suggestions that will help
you to act on the resolve.
