The Pardon Business

lt is getting to point in Iowa
where man who has few infln,n-
tlal, or persistent, political friends can
almost murder and pillage and burn
to his hearts content, being reason
atly assured of a pardon or parole in
few months. OF course the poor de-
vii who has none of these Influences
at his back must walk straight or take
his medicine as of yore. 1t is crying
shame and will soon result in disre
gard OF the operation of the criminal
laws OF tina state Every man proven
guilty of a crlm- should be forced to
take the allotted punishment, or every
man turned loose. This trucking to
political fTlesds is increasing In rank
ness. With all due respect to the abb
lity of Leslie M Shaw, his record of
pardons while governor of Iowa was
disgrace to his administration and to
the state. We happen TO know of
peculiar case and the why and the
Wherefores. "A fellow was serving 20
year sentence IN one of the Iowa peni-
tantiaries for numbering in cold blood
a city marshal who was in performance
OF his dnties. 1t was bad case and
the sentence was light, compared to
the crime. While the murderer was
serving his sentence his father died and
he fell heir to $4,000. He owed over
$500 to man of political influence and
prominence, but the account had prac-
tlcal'y outlawed. The politician saw
his opportunity. He promised the
criminal to securea parole on condition
that he would pay over the $500. The
matter was agreed upon; the petition
circulated; the parole was secured. If
criminal law is to be of any benefit to
society, 1T needs to be enforced more
rigidly - WoOdbine Twiner

The Sugar We Absorb

According to calculations made by
the Treasury Bureau of Statistics the
consumption OF sugar in the United
States has grown from 1872 426,2 42
pounds i'll lS7OIo 5,3l3,9s7 $40 pounds
in 1891. The per capita consumption
is now SIXTY eight pounds, as compared
with thirty three pounds in 1870
The conse quences of this remarkable
change upon the physical condition of
the people, one way or the other must
be material. Whether it is for I'M
provemant or impairment OF physical
strength and endurance ia a question.
About one-slxLh of the amount CON
sumed is produced in the United States
and another sixth in our insular pos
sessions, while about fourth comes
from Cuba. Two thirds of the sugar
produced in the United States last
year was from cane, and the rest came
from the new beet sugar industry

Coed Roads

If there is anything the people of
Harrison county should be interested
in it is coed roads. Not that we have
any worse roads than any other country
bat this rolling land makes more or
less hills and this figures considerable
when farmers come to haul their grain,
or provisions and lumber from town,
Too many farmers are afraid they will
doa little work on the road and when
they go to work out their road tax
they just see how little time they can
put in and heave a sigh of relief when
they have finished. People looking to
buy land notice the roads from the
land to the nearest trading point
and the good roads mean dollars
to the land owner In localities the
merchants and business men are inter
ested in the roads in the vicinity in
which they are located and give time
and money to fixing themnp. 1t takes
considerable time and money to grade

TURKEY DISCRIMINATES

SAME PRIVILEGES AS OTHERS.
Mission Societies to Appeal to the
President for Enforcement Of the
Favored Nation Clause.
.cIal to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-There will wait on
President Roosevelt on Thursday a
deputation representing all religious bodies
in America that are doing educational and
missionary work in the Turkish empire.
Three members of the deputation men
in active work in the fields and the rest
are officers of these boards and prominent
citizens. The deputation will tell the Pres
tdent and through him the secretary of
state that the United States is not treated
properly by the Sultan and will ask our
government to overture Turkey, demanding
that under the act according special privi-
leges TO foreigners Americans have the
same rights as French and Russian resi-
dents. 1t seems that the latter have Sc
cured in Turkey immunity from customs
for all of their churches and schools. They
have been granted privileges to repair their
buildings and to open schools and places of
religious worship wherever and whenever
they desire to do so. Under the favored
nation clause, 1t is claimed by the mission
airy boards, Americans have similar rights,
yet il has happened that all American
schools and churches have been shut up,
while French and Russian schools and
churches remain open. Appeal has been
made locally to the Sultan and he has re-
piled that Americans have no legal rights
in the empire, while French and Russian
residents have.
Complaints are made that the present
United States minister at Constantinople
is hunter who loves his dogs and his
leisure, and limitations made that
Constantinople Is dumping ground for
people the American authorities do not
want elsewhere. The charge is put forth
that the Sultan's government is not so
active in its hostility as are persons in
charge of these French and Russian
churches and schools. The latter inform
on Americans, 1t is claimed and the Sultan
acts upon the espionage. The Rev. George
Post, NJ. D., Ii. D., the most famous sur
geon in Syria and a well-known medical
authority, heads the deputation that will
call on President Roosevelt, and repre-
sents the Syrian Protestant College at Bel
rut. With him are the Rev. William X.
Eddy, of the Presbyterian mission at ST.
don, and Mr.. w. w. Peet, a representative
of the Congregational American board and
treasurer of the mission at Constantinople
Mr. Darwin r. James will represent the
Presbyterian board of foreign missions and
Mr.. John s. Kennedy will attend as q
College, Constantinople. The deputation
will tell our government that affairs of
Americans in the Turkish empire are i'm
serious condition and need immediate at
tention.
