A False Sense of Security

The Kansas City Journal utters a
timely warning to the people when it
declares that the cry''it is easy to over
throw the political bosses" is calculat-
ee to llll the people into false sense
OF security. 1t is true that the peo-
pie can overthrow the bosses when
they decide to do 50, but there is dan
ger, unless the people are ever on the
W itch, that they will become careless
and neglactful and rely on their dor,
mant power instead of protiting 10y
their active power.
But it is the experience of the al
ways watchful minority that it is eX-
tremely difficult to arouse the sluggish
majority to action. Relying uIon
the majority gives no heed until after
the bosses have bullwarked them selves
in every known way, The result is
that the fight for emancipation from
rLle is always bitter one. If boss rule
wer4 prevented in the first place, or net
allowed to return after being once
driven out, greater reforms could tie
wrought with less effort than is now
required. The moral of the recent
elections is not that tive can overthrow
the bosses at any time" 1t is that
bosses should not be tolerated in the
first place. Commoner,

A sINGULARLY VICIOUS CAREER
Yet Emil Wall, Life Convict, Is Said
to Have Repented.

MARQUETTE, MICH.-The self-innicted knife
wound that resulted In the death of Emil Walz,
peenitentiary. brought to close a singularly
vicious and dangerous career. From the day Of
his arrival at the Marquette institution he be-
came one of the greatest trials of the guards and
than few hours at time. His passing, indeed,
Is regarded as happy deliverance.
During his brief experience at the prison he
was placed under almost every guard in an effort
to find some place where he would work peace
fully and quietly. He remained morose, trouble
some ugly and dangerous, an object of dislike
to everybody in the prtson-offcers, guards and
convicts.
Walz brooded perpetually and had contemplated
suicide from his arrival at the prison. His pur-
pose on this regard was a matter Of common
knowledge among the other convicts 1t was a
purpose frequently qualified by an announced in
tention of taking someone with him, preferably
the warden or deputy warden.
One day Walz refused to quit the cell peace
was made to force him into the corridor. He was
armed with jackknife, such as conyicts are
allowed to carry, having two-inch blade:
Finally seeing that argument was wasted. War
fearless, and other officers to bring the man out.
The deputy entered the cell, rushed Walz, using
a stool a shield to prevent Walz from injur-
ing him, overpowered the fellow and led him
self over the heart, completely severing one OF
the ribs He was taken at once to the hospital,
where his wound was given attention.
According to a statement made by Solomon
Huber, a convict attendant at the prison hospt-
tai, Wall died repentant.
''Huber If I should de-" he said, will you
be SO kind to tell the warden and all the
officers that am sorry for and ashamed of my
conduct, and that I ask them to forgive me.
If I should live they will find me different
man. The officers have given me all the chance
and privileges 1 could ask; more than ! could
