Barbarlsm In Michigan.

The Northern papers and people con-
clude That tho South is in state of bar
barism because lawless mob burns "a
negro or gang of toughs lynohes ano-
thor negro. They do not realize what q
risk they run of having the Same logic
applied to their section.
The Michigan State industrial school
for girls Is being investigated by legis-
lative committee and some of tho wit
nossos tell narrowing tales of tho most
dreadful cruelty practicod upon tho stu
dents by tho teachers. AS reported in
tho Chicago Record, one of tho pupils,
Annabolla Echtinaw, was given hot
BATH. tho wator boing heated from n
steel coil in tho bottom of tho tub. Ono
of tho teachers, Miss Oaks, who was
present, described it as follows:
Tho girl cried out: caro- you going to
scald me2" She was hold in twcnty
minutes and on coming out became un-
conscious and died in twenty minutes
Miss Oaks said hot baths wore method
of punishment. She also testified to
holding girls hands while Mrs. Siclzlcs
gave her twenty-five or thirty blows
with rubber tubing split into pieces.
She had also seen girls mouths covered
with courtpIaster for answering back.
One of tho pupils testified that she had
boon stripped and given thirty-six lashes
with rubber hose as q punishment for
remark about one of tho teachers. She
was black and blue for month. Tho
report continues:
''Mrs. Holon NJ. BabcQck, former
house>cepor at tho school, testified that
the beatings tho girls got wcro siclon-
ing. One. instance she spoke of was that
of Bessie Force, who had boon imperti-
mont. Mrs. Sickles toro oil her clothes
and gave her thirty blows after she had
been in solitary coll.' Mrs. Babcock
continued:
|. "'Why don't you cry?' said Mrs. Sick
les, when she finished. Bessie was as
white as a sheet and trembling. She
said: Il can't cry, Mrs, Sicklcs.' You'll
cry or III kill you. Take off your
clothes,' said Mrs. Sickles. Bessie took
off her clothes. Mrs. Sicklcs won't into
antSher room and got trunk strap an
inch and a quarter wide. She made Bcs-
sic lio across n sofa there in the Office
and gave her, very deliberately, about
ton blows on tho naked limbs. could
not bear the spectacle, 80 1 stood at n
window and looked out. Bessie was
screaming: 'Oh, Mrs. Sckles, don't kill
me! don't kill mc?'"
All of this occurred in State college
for girls in Michigan. AS an evidence of
barbarity it is pretty conclusive, but no
ono will be so foolish as to believe on
that account that Michigan is not civil
lied, although the occurrences certainly
do not speak well for that State.
1t would seem that there is fine fold
for Mrs. Homo and her Boston co-labor-
ers who have worked themselves ND to
such pitch over Southern barbarism
One of their own sox is accused of scad-
ing tonder Young girl to death, which,
to say the least, is as barbarous as burn
ing negro man. Neither is to bo excused
or condonod, but wo should all be care
full to avoid drawing general inferonces
from exceptional occurrences.-Colu

Electric Wires.

Electric Wires.
The deaths Of the four firemen
killed in Omaha on Wednesday after.
noon should call the attention of
every mayor and inspector in the
country to the manner in which cleo
trio wires are strung over the cities.
One who has never been on top of
any OF the down town buildings can
form no conception of the maze of
wires crossing and cris-crOssing the
tops of the buildings. Fastened to
the sides OF the buildings by a pro.
jecting non-conductor, the wires en-
ter here and there as the caprice Of
the lineman has suggested. On the
roofs the wires are supported by a
series Of v-shaped supports which
any strong wind or storm may knock
over and bring the wire into what
appears TO be dangerous relation.
ship with tarred roof. 1t is miracu.
lOus that so few firemen are killed.
Few men with plenty Of leisure and
at a time when there Is no fire could
accomplish the raising Of ladder
without hitting wire in any Of the
alleys Of the down town district here.
Their number and eccentric direc.
tiOn would puzzle anything but an
expert expert. No VOnder then that
poor fireman is burned to crisp
occasionally. Firemen are paid for
their time and their services, but
should not be asked to offer up their
lives to the carelessness of cleo.
trio light employees. Nevertheless
Lincoln is only fair sample of cleo
trio light wiring.
The men killed In Omaha were:
Otto Gieseke, 1923 Harvey street;
truckman, hose and ladder company
No. l.
James Adams, 1925 South Eigh.
tenth street; lieutenant of hose com.
pany No. 3.
Charles A. Hopper, 24l6 Bancroft
street; pipeman, hose company No. 3.
George Benson, Twenty-tifth and
Jones street: pipeman, hose company
No. 3.
Humble, foreign names, some of
them. None Of them known as pro.
minent citizens. yet of such are the
cities of this country composed.
How Omaha would have been shocked
and how the mayor and council
, would have bestirred themselves to
make the conditions less dangerous
for prominent citizens IL instead Of
Otto Giesecke, truckman, James
Adams, lieutenant of hose company,
Charles A. Hopper, pipeman. and
George Benson, pipeman, Mr.. Kountze
banker, Mr.. Willard, banker, Mr..
Rosewater, editor, and Mr.. Webster,
attorney had been the victims of
viciously placed wires. Yet the
families of this latter group of highly
respected, brilliant and worthy gen.
tlemen. would, in all probability not
be left destitute by their death. The
widows of the firemen must leave
thelr little children at home and 60
out washing or take up some of the
comparatively few employments open
10 'unprepared, ignorant, frightened
women, whom death, loOsed by bad
FlNy customs, has deprived of the
Dfeadwinner. These humble work
men will be just as much mOurned,

The First's Opinion Of General Otis.

The Nebraska men now in the
Preside at San Francisco have on
several occasions indicated their un.
favorable opinion Of General Otis.
Their patriotism cannot be ques.
toned and after soldiers have gone
through a campaign with a leader
their opinion of his ability is reliable
and trustworthy. The few stragglers
who returned from Manila after
spending most of their time In the
guard house and spread complaints
OF Colonel StOtsenburg were entirely
different witnesses. These men have
fought the fight and been faithful to
their oath and their duty from enlist.
ment to muster out, and their lack of
in the commanding officer
In the Filipines is based on sound

perienced Indian fighter should be
