The Need Of the County for a
Better Jail.


The Chester Herald publishes the
report of the grand jury condeming
the present Jail from sanitary reasons;
from its unftness and lack of security
to detain persons when outside the
steel cells, and from the peril Of the
jatler In serving meals to malicious
persons who have the liberty of the
corridor.
The Herald in It's comments upon
the report says: eve need a new
county jail and no voter OF Howard
county can consistently dispute the
plain, bald fact Whether the voters
will approve the recommendation of
the jury when the question is brought
before them at an election is not SO
certain, but the need of a new jai,
viii no longer be point for discussion
those who vote against the measure
Will do SO for other reasons, the ma
)orlty of which will probably be un-
worthy ones"
This quoted paragraph is the express
sion OF fact, and the admission thai
votes In opposition to the measure
will be based upon unworthy reasons
and motives.
Beside the valuable plat Of ground
Z which the county buildings are
coated in Cresco, its people have put
into the court house in the nei2hbor-
hood OF $S, 1000 and dedicated its per-
petual use to the county, so long as
used and occupied for county purposes.
Should Chester or any other town OF
The county set apart one Of its best
located blocks, erect thereon Jail OF
other building for the use of tn
county, its citizens paying the cos
thereof, would its intelligent enter
prising citizens donate it by deed t !,
the county or limit the county'>
right to its ownership only so long a
used and occupied for county pur-
poses
Make our situation your own an
md give the county an 8S. 900 club to
brain you with, is the shape of
building and as much more 10 plat
II ground, and then talk from such
premises. The Herald comedies that
there is no probability of the county
seat ever being removed from Or. scn.
and the right of the county to tie
perpetual ownership and control al
ne court house and the ground upo
which located is thus definitely an.
irrevocably fixed.
But should the county seat ever b.
removed to Davis Corners, Saratoga,
or other central part of tue county,
Cresco could make better use of tn.
court house building for its public
schools than to allow the county to
sell 1T and use the proceeds in the
of county buildings at
such newly selected county seat.
Its suggestion for the purchase Of
ground In Cresco upon which to build
4 county Jail may look feasible at first
sight, but is absurd, nevertheless.
Such a location reasonably near to
the court house, say like the vacant
lots OF Mrs. Bucknum would cost the
county $1,000 Then in addition to
building the Jail would be the added
expense Of the Sheriff residence in
connection, and the abandonment Of
the present one.
In view of all the facts we can hard
" belleye the Herald would vote for
the cnnsequenct s of its own proptsi-
tioh, AID shall lnnk FIR it to support
building upon the prese nt, site with
the right To use by thu county q pit f.

staying qualities they make very
poor cavalry mounta
A feature which helps toward the
mobility OF the army IL the simple
ration required by the soldiers. The
Japanese eat very little, and on
forced marches a handful OF rice
and a cup OF ten VIII do those Won

we'll as three square meals or
course the army ration Includes
much more than this. and American
beef and other foods are now beinH
added 90 the ration. hut Tor forced
marches the commissiariat can be
by far tho simpleat OF any modern
army.
Another feature that makes the
Japanese an unusually good soldier
Is his obedience. For hundreds Of
years the lower classes. OF which the
rank and file of the army IN largely
made up. have been taught 20 look
up TO aud obey their superiors, the
Glasses from which the officers are
chosen. This Unborn respect makes
the discipline OF the army almost
perfect.
While II IL entirely a sentimental
reason. the great ana universal pa
triotlsm of the Japanese people adds
greatly 10 the value of the Japanese
as soldiers. They are fataliHta and
therefore worry little about the
chances of losing their lives. They
