ness,
Edward S. Bowdish has commenced
an action in the district court against
Minnie A. Bowdish for $4,000 damages.
The plaintiff, who is Methodist min
lister, was convicted i'll June, 1884, in the
district court, of entering and ransack-
ing the house of the defendant, who is
his divorced wife, and carrying away
1926. which he found in trunk. He was
sentenced to serve three years in the
states prison at Saltwater, and, having
completed his term of Imprisonment, he
now brings this suit for damages, claim
ing that the testimony of the defendant,
on which he was convicted, was false,
and that she so testified for the purpose
of injuring and disgracing him, and
thereby running his reputation in the
community. He claims that he did not
steal the money, as charged, and that
the defendant did not have any such
sum of money in her trunk at the time,
nor did she at the time possess any
such sum of money, and that her testi-
mony against him, in which she accused
him of stealing the sum of 1926, was en-
tirely false and without foundation.

Penalty and Reform.

Our prison system ought to be both punitive and
deterrent. 1t ought to be such that it will not
multiply the evil it seeks to control. Society is
in danger of being led into indifference in regard
to this matter from the fact that very great
forms have been wrought in externalities. The
construction of prison buildings has been i'm
proved there has been great progress in the hui
name treatment Of prisoners under sentence. So
people in general have come to think that there
is very little more that needs to be done. There
are several things that essential in this mat
ter if crime is to be controlled and the number Of
the criminal class reduced. In the first place.
must have regard to cutting off the source of the
supply of criminals. In other words, we must ed.
ucate the children, especially those who by the
crime. 80 they shall shun crime. 1t will be found
far cheaper in the end to educate the children
in morals as well intellect-than to deal
with criminals. 1t is far easier to eXtirpate
nascent crime than to deal with full blown crime.
Again, work must be provided for the prisoners
called fdte- reformers that prisoners should not
be employed in remunerative labor ought never
to have been yielded to. Having been granted,
consent ought now to be revoked. The third
sential thing, in our judgment, is the subsection
of actual criminals to such discipline-labor and
their habits and the detention of them till they
are pronounced by competent authority fit to be

Force of Character.

The greatest blessing ever given to man is
force of character. Two elements essential
to It-self-respect and spirit Of fairness. No
man can be really strong who has not learned to
control himself. Pretenders may seem to control
themselves but they only cover up their true tenn
pers. No man can master others until he has
first mastered himself. The bully never attains
position which belongs to real merit His place
in subordinate positions He is recognized by
his propensity to give instead of take instructions.
He complains when in some exigency more is re-
quired of him than usual. He critcises when he
cannot sh!rk, and imposes in various other ways
upon those around him. But mans influence
cannot be of the lasting kind unless he is disposed
to be fair and honest. He may have these quail
ties and yet be without force of character, but
having them he is possessed of two of the primary
elements that make up the leader of men. The
man of real force is never lretender or bully,
is never arbitrary or unjust. is never passionate,
though he may be and generally is aggressive,
and may occasion requires, give exhibitions of
temper that is. nevertheless, kept in perfect
troll.

idleness was the result. To correct

let our law makers see to it, that this state

THE JURY SYSTEM.

The conviction of persons charged with
crimes of serious nature where grave pen
alties are prescribed by law as punishment
therefor. in this state. and especially in the
two large cities of the state. ought to be
sufficient to persuade the public mind that
our civilization has outgrown the jury sys-
tenn. There is tinge of inconsistency sur
rounding the whole scheme of trial by jury,
in the light of our laws coupled with scien-
tific research and advancement.
The jury is supposed to be composed of
average intelligence, but it Is required
to pass upon questions far beyond the range
of average intelligence; questions which
belong strictly to the domain of science.
That they can arrive at justice without a
proper knowledge of the matters upon
which they must form opinions seems the
height of absurdity. What reasoning man
will advocate that the farmer or merchant
who knows nothing of physiology, anatomy
or the science of medicine should treat a
case of typhoid fever or reduce dslocation.
yet it is just as reasonable to suppose that
the farmer or merchant of average intelli-
gence would be capable of performing either
of the offices above referred to. as to sup
pose that the same men are capable of
rendering just verdict i'm case where it
is required to distinguish between delu-
sion, hallucination. and an Illusion; or the
effect of a certain poisonous drug upon the
the system. Yet our laws sustain the
system and refer to it as the greatest safe
guard to liberty, and the public mind sus-
tains our laws.
1t strikes us that the jury system would
be good system if we, as nation. were
on par with the age that gave it birth,
but with our advanced legal and scientific
status as people it is certainly strong
reminder of ignorance if not of barbarism.
It, like many other principles that came with
dawning civilization, should be stricken
from the statutes and in its stead should be
some intelligent body. capable of dealing
with the questions that come before it, in
telligently, honestly. and with the spirit of
humanity as defined by our highest con-
ception of the Judiciary.

The case of the boy. Chester Turney,
should be made everybody's interest till he
is free. Seventeen and half years for
stealing fifty dollars worth of stuff! Tried
and convicted without ever being in the
court room! 1t is one of the most outrageous
things ever known in Iowa. 1t would dis

influence in his favor. Hundreds of people
in the legion where he lived have prayed
for justice for him. His mother has trav-
elled and lectured and is giving her life up
to have him set free. The railroads have
joined his cause. They carry her free from
point to point in the state to tell her story.
All this effort has been made to get the
governor to pardon boy in his teens. Why
he is so int1eXble is mystery to the pub
lie. 1t is beginning to strike peoples minds
as hardness that runs into cruelty. This
boy ought to have his freedom for Christ

good should help him to start out right

Chaplain w. C.. Gum. of the peniten-

an address before the Iowa Prisoners Aid
Association at Des Mones. The meeting
was very we'll attended and numbered in its
audience some of the most intellectual
philanthrOpsts of the state. MIR. GUMS
address was an able effort, proving by facts
and figures the ACCESSIBILITY of adopting the
ndeterminate sentence plan in this state.
The Des Moines Register says of it:
Chaplain Gum spoke on the question, How to
make man of one who is sent to the penten-
tiary?' A thorough diagnosis, of each prisoner
should be made physical mental and moral. The
prisoners should havoa better education. Some
thing-a good deals being done for the unfortu
mates. No less than four discharged prisoners are
now faithful ministers of the gospel. Convicts
should be induced to work. AS u general thing
the criminal classes don't want to work. He would
have prisoners choose profession or trade that
might be of service after they leave the prison.
The speaker cites several instances where men
who had learned trades at the prisons now
holding more less responsible positions and
lead ng useful lives. The speaker took occasion
to say that in his judgment the contract system in
prisons, while not very desirable in itself, is not
the worst system, and it Is certa there can be
reform where there is idleness. The speaker then
went on to argue the desirableness of prison
form. the establishment of grades in prisons.
that criminals imprisoned for the first time should
not be brought under the influence of incorrigi-
bles. Instances cited of the injury done by
reason of the want Of some such provision. The
inequality of sentences of criminals was COM
mented upon, and many instances of the kind
mentioned. The remedy for this evil is the indie
terminate sentence. which the speaker showed to
have produced excellent results wherever tried.
What we want to do is to treat the coEvcts in
such a manner that they will desire to lead bet

consider that there are about one hundred
