IT is ORGANIZED CRIME

A social system which offers TO tender,
viFtuous and independent women Che GlteE-
native between prostitution and suicide as
an escape from beggary is organized crime,
for which some day unrelenting justice villa

Reader, how do you know how soon

The following press dispatch shows
another way dealing with trsmps in
another part Of the country:
WHITING, IND, May 4.-Sherih Hayes

moved into the next county or back 70 Chi
eagO enough tramps TO form COxey army.
This posse was called by Che citizens who
had been robbed and annoyed By the bramps
for several days, and who feared the gang
was organized for q systematic raid upon
the village after Che distribution Of wages
by the Standard Oil company. The men
were found Camped along the lake shore, in
groups Of twenty, but 'Cere too tired to 0hO'0
any more fight than tOOrdv protests against
being compelled to moUe,
That trsmps have many times COM
mitted inexcussble personal assaults
no one will deny. No one will be
foolish enough to excuse these Of
fenseg. But back Of all this lies the
unanswered question why 30 many
men have become trsmps in this
country? This question must be an
swered and a remedy be found for
the evil or the crimes that have been
committed will pale into insignif-
canoe before those that the future
will witness. Turning aside from
the humanitarian view of the sub.
iect which would comprehend means
of reformation to the "vagabond"
class, and looking at il from the
purely selfish standpolnt Of the ne
Csssity of protection to society, StiII
the remedy must be found, and il
can never be found without studying
the causes that have produced the
evil, and deVisIng means whereby
those causes shall cease to operate.
So long as the causes continue, so
long will trsmps continue to multi
ply. You cannot sweep back the
food while the fountain that feeds it
continues to flow.
This question of "vagabondsge,"
so.callsd, is one Of the most serious
now confronting the American peo-
pie. 1t cannot be disposed of by the
indiscriminate imprisonment Of
trsmps nor by driving them sboutfrom
place to place. The causes that pro-
duce tratnps are still at work and
their numbers are multiplying. Un-
less those causes are recognized and
removed there will come a day Of
ere long that will awaken
the dumb sensibilitles Of the people

Every part of the country has it's
quota of these trsmps, and every To-
cality has it's method Of dealing with
them. Is it not about time to begin
an inquiry as to why these men are
tramps? There are q number Of
facts stated in this Enquirer article
that we recommend to the serious
consideration of every thoughtful
reader:
A startling state Of affairs exists at the
Erie county penitenbisry.
Within the past three weeks such a great
number Of vsgs, buns and criminals of va
rious Glasses have been sentenced to that
institution that the prisoners are compelled
TO double and even triple up in the cells
and corridors.
The escape Of Convict George Stone from
the "Pen" on Monday night was a result Of
this oveEcrowding.
The supervisors committee ON the peni-
tentisry visited that institution yesterday
and discovered chat il was in q much over
crowded condition.
Three weeks ,ago there were but 800, or a
little over shat number Of prisoners, con-
fined there, while now there are /, ,129 be-
hind the bars.
OF these 1,O86 are men and forty-three
are women. The miserable scOommodR-
tiOns for these prisoners is shown by the
number Of cells, there being but 430 alto
gether.
As eighbyof these cells are in the women's
department. of the prison, il Oan be readily
seem that there are only $50 cells for the RC-
Commodation Of 1,086 men OonviOts.
~Of these 1,129 prisoners confined in the
penitentiary, about 800 caunot be given
employment, owing to the lack Of rooms in
and equipments with which they may
labor.
During the first quarter Of this year 75O
prisoners were sent to the penitentiary for
from Ave to sixty days without fine for
petty offenses, and thus has the institution
become 80 crowded that there is hardly
room for another soul there.
Not only are the prisoners doubled and
triDled in the cells, but from 100 10 $50 are
looked in the corridors and are designated
in unique way. The floor Of the corridors
is of tagging, and each prisoner is given
one stone, which is numbered. Here the
prisoners are known as "Flsg 145," or
whatever tagging they may occupy.
Il is proper st this point TO refer TO the
fact that Convict George Stone, the des-
perado who escaped Monday night and
who is still at large, was "Flsg" man.
While it is true that they are under lock
and key, il is also conceded that they Can a
not be secured nearly as we'll "a when in
separate cells.
After a close and thorough investigation
Keeper Neal has learned the story Of the
escape. Stone in some manner secured a
pickaxe and during Monday night sue
ceeded in breaking two large locks. One
was a Yale lock and the other was an i'm
mense paddock. With these broken and q

denied having circulated any
stories, whereupon Harris pulled
his revolver, and pointing it at
Bengel, snapped it, but there being
a bad cartridge, it did not dis
charge. Bengel then said: "Frank,
you can't run a bluff on me; that
thing is not loaded" but he no

the cylinder changed and shot
him, the bullet entering below the
left nipple, passing through the
lung and heart, and out of the
body. Bengel fell to the sidewalk,
and Harris, standing over him,
shot twice more.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBERf9, %;

Now that republican lightning
has struck alllover the country SO
generally there.will be renewed eff
fort to capture the convention that
is so certain to nominate the win
ner for the presidential stakes. st.
Louis is in the field with a deter
mined effort to carry the day if
nossible. The committee Having
the matter in hand declare that
there will be no trouble aboutIthe
funds. st. Louis is ready to pledge
to the national republican commit
tee their travelling expenses to st.
Louis and return, their hotel bills
while there, provide the necessary
stenographic force for the report of
proceedings, pay for printing the
report, furnish a commodious hall
for the meeting, and such other
expenses as legitimately fallIupon
the city entertaining the conven-
ton. 1t is much to be desired that
the convention should BIO held in
a central location, and ,St. Louis
fills the bill, but it is asserted'that
the national committee will not
select any town that does not
pledge itself to pay the debts Of
the committee. There may be q
string to this declaration, however.
The selection OF st. Louis would be
far and away a more sensible one
than the choice OF San Francisco
would be.

The dam regatta is over, and
Austin has had an experience.
The rOwerS were there and the
water was there and the sport was
good, but the people were not
there and as a result those who
put up for the purses are left. All
cOnspire in saying that there is
not a faster rowing course in the
world, and that the lake is a
beauty, but it is impossible to car
ry out such racing events without
the cash, and unless that is drawn
from the attendance there can be
no profit in the transaction. That
the people of Austin did not at
tend the races is matter of general
and unfavorable comment. Had
Dallas, Fort Worth or Houston en-
gineered the affair there would
have been money in it. Austin
has not the faculty of enlisting en-
thusiasm in any sporting event,
and judging from the remarks of
those who have put up for this
years regatta there is not likely to
be another very soon.

The elections of Tuesday empha-
size the fact that ouside of the
great state of Texas the populists
have lost the country. In Texas
they are stronger today than ever,
and this because the democratic
administration of the state has
been so week and unproductive of
good results, so detrimental to
good government and financial
prosperity, so destructive of the
school funds of the state and in
other ways so unpopular with the
masses that populism has grown
upon the decay of democratic SEN
timent all over the state. There
is no longer that preference for
democratic rule that was evil
denced by the republicans of the
state when they endorsed Clark
against Hogg. There are thou
sands of good republicans in the
state who think populism the les
ser evil of the twain.

There is no reason to be given,
save the sluggishness and indiffer-
ence OF our own people, why the at
tempt to hold a fair in this city
next year should not succeed. There
is alwayes interest enough linger-
ing in the public mind, as to all
that concerns this quaint and at
tractive city, to insure good at
tendance for any attraction that is
put on its feet, provided that it is a
real attraction and vouched for as
such by the people OF this city in
general. There is no better way Of
demonstrating this than to make
the race meeting and the poultry
show of this fall the very best
ever held in this southwest. This
will be an earnest of the efforts
that are to be put forth in making
the fair OF next year such an attrac-
ton as will deserve the patronage
and support of the southwest.
There is enough in the situation
for this city TO stimulate every
energy and call forth every effort,
and if the people are unit in their
work there will be no doubt of the
issue.
