O.. the EARTH But the men who have
been most astonishing Chicago recently
with their crimes have not been hobos
or scum. They have been near the

ity of murderers in the Chicago Jail
may be foreigners, which is to be ex-
pected in a population so largely for
eign, yet the statistics for the country
at large do not support the explana-
tion that the prevaleace of murder is
due to the foreign element. A table

America is "Long on Head but Short

Education.

The more school houses we need
the more Jail room we seem to
need.
We have depended too much on
mental culture and done too little to
cultivate the conscience and the will.
The foregoing rather startling indict-
ment of secularized education is from 4
Protestant source. 1t occurs in q re-
markable article entitled "The School

Advance" a leading Congregational
list organ, OF Chicago. "Grapho," the au-

showed that Chicago spends larger
proportion of it's revenue on its public
schools than any other big city in the
country, or in the world for that mat
ter. They also showed that the amount
spent on each pupil has more than
doubled since 1880.
And yet" he continues, "here is
Jailer Whitman informing the public
that Chicago has more murderers $3.50
in it's jails awaiting trial than any 9TH
er city in the country.
Moreover, Jailer Whitman says that
this is not an unusual number for Chi
cago, but about the average number.
At the same time, as has already been-
stated in this column, the last grand
jury was so wrought Up over the pre-
valence of crimes against women as to
recommend the adoption of capital
punishment for such offenders.
Here then, are the two facts, that
education increases and crime increas-
es. The more school houses We build,
the more Jail room we seem to need.
And this is true not only of Chicago,
but of the country taken as whole
that is, if we can rely on the follow
ing table of statistics, which shows a
steady increase up to the last collec-

"Dr. Andrew D. White, who has been
trying to arouse the country to a
sense Of it's criminal condition, in COM
menting on these facts, says: My own

"Now, am not attempting to show

According to this table, New Eng
land has a larger percentage of foreign
element than any other section, and
yet other sections have from two to
six times as many murders to every
fifty thousand people. 1t is easy to cry
out against the foreigner in explana-
tion OF all our sins, but it does not
explain.
We Do Not Punish Murderers.
''Dr. White says that the increase of
murder is due to the fact that we do
not punish murderers; that during re-
cent years only one person in seventy,
four charged with homicide has been
convicted, while in London out Of thir-
teen persons charged with homicide.

But forcible as are all these repre-
sentations, they do not furnish the
needed explanation. The failure ade-
quately to punish the crime of murder
may embolden men to commit crime,
But the murderous instinct is still to
be accounted for. and so is the failure
of society to punish crime. Why is it
that there is so much of the criminal
inclination and SO weak an inclination
to condemn and punish crime, notwith-
standing the fact that we have been
adding SO much to the public school
system and to higher education for the
purpose of improving the character OF
our citizenship?

We have depended too much on mental

New Method to Keep Mice Out OF
Grain.

Rev. and Mrs. E. Badger of Pro-
volt, were in Grants Pass last Friday
and we're callers at the Courier office.
Rev. Badger is president Of the Ap-
plegate Valley Telephone Company
and he stated that meeting of the
stockholders meeting would be held
early in August, so soon rs the
farmers were over the rush of their
harvest work, to arrange for getting
ont the poles for the lines that the
Company will build throughout the
Applegate Valley and to Grants Pass.
The setting Of the poles will be
done until wet weather sets In to max Q
the digging Of the holes easy. 1t
will be the plan to extend the Com
panys line on to the Illinois Valley
SO as to give that large section Of the
county free telephone communication
with the Applegate Valley and with
Grants Pass.
Rev. Badger, in addition to holding
services on Sundays in . church he
built himself ON his land and at other
places is practical farmer and Ia
opening q fine farm ON tract Of land
he bought on Williams creek. or the
damage that mice cause to grain hay
Rev. Badger stated that he had found
a way Of effeotually keeping them
out. When each load of hay is put in
the barn he levels 1t Off and sits over
it handful Of sulphur with an equal
quantity of salt. The sulphur will
effectually keep the mice away while
tits most healthful tonic to stock
as is also the salt. The salt will also
prevent the hay from musting even
though it may be rather green or
damp when hauled in from the field.
Rev. Badger has tried this sulphur
aud salt application on hay for several
years past and he has found it effective
in keeping out the mice. which eat
out the kernels Of grain and leave an
offensive odor to the hay that makes
stock 10th to eat it, and it also pre-
vents the hay from getting moldy
or dusty.

vertised that Europeans Think
Little Valley Is A Big State.

When it comes to advertising their
fruits the Hood River orchardists are
not equaled by the growers of any
other section of the Pacific Coast. If
there is distinguished person or a
notable party that passes through
Hood River they are presented with
boxes of choice fruit being the COM
pliments Of the Hood Hood River
Fruit Growers Union.

land of the cherry. Hood River
cherries got away with most of the
honors in the cherry exhibit at the
meeting Of State Horticultural Soci-
ETY., held in the Capital City last week.
Then not content with competing
against the world these advertisers
for profit hold fruit exhibit Of their
own every two years at Hood River
and vie with each other who can
make the best display of orchard
products. Already they have begun
preparations for this Falls fair which
they announce is to be larger, better
and more successful than ever hereto
fore held by them.
That this persistent. thorough and
effective advertising is a profitable in
vestment to the Hood River orchard
lists is proven by the extraordinary
high prices they realize for their
fruit, 80 box not being an unusual
price had for their apples. Last year
the entire Hood River apple crop was

and other American cities. So effect

In part, Mr.. Newell said: "We
might do a great deal more in grapes
than we are now doing. Eight years
ago we succeeded in stopping the i'm
portation Of Concords from New York
into our markets. but we are still buy
ing large quantities Of California

culture. The elevation should be
from 200 to 1000 feet. Perfect drain.
age is necessary. The soil on which
our hazel and fir grow is good for
grapes. Plant four ffths of the vine
yard to Concords, get some Moore's
Early and several other popular
varieties. The trade demands black
grape. Buy yearling vines. Plant
them from the middle of March to the
first of May-about the middle of
April is the best Rows should be 10
feet apart and the vines eight feet
apart in the row. All of the Ameri-
can varieties should be trained by the
trellis system; the Europeans on the
stump. The trellis posts should be
four feet high with a top wire and
the lower wira should be l6 inches
above the ground. Cut the vine back
to just come under the first wire.
Su miner training should be practiced.
About the middle of June pick out the
ends of tbs shoots, and about month
later gd-over them the second time in
the same way. The old style of train
ing is not being used any more. Keep
plenty of foliage on the vines as the
best grapes grow under the heaviest
leaves and next to the ground. The
trade demands the American varieties

GLASS IN HIS STOMACH
ANTE ASSERTION OF
ELSIE BANKS PROVED TRUE.

The health officer has reported to the
police that the examination of the contents
of the stomach of Elsie Banks, colored
who died a few days ago at his home on
Sth street, showed the presence of glass.
Banks stated prior to his demise that he
thought powdered glass had been put in
some whisky he had swallowed. Detec-
tives Helan and McNamee and Precinct
Detective Estes have been endeavoring to
obtain something definite in the case, but
have not yet found anything to indicate
that Banks was murdered. How the glass
got into the whisky is the question that
the detectives are trying to solve.
1t appears that Banks. who pros
porous huckster, had several drinks while
night. the 10th instant, and he purchased
a half-piut flask of liquor. He took a
drink from the bottle Sunday morning and
treated a relative named Howard Smith
therefrom. Both men were made sick, but
Smith recovered in about three days. Banks
complained of feeling unwell and finally it
was necessary Tor him 10 go to bed and
send for a physician.
1t was while lie was sick In bed that he
told his wife he suspected powdered glass
had been put in his whisky. When he died
the attending physicians We're unable to
give the necessary death certificate with
out consulting the coroner, and the removal
of the body to the morgue followed The
detectives have thus far been unable to
discover that anybody had a reason for
wanting to kill Banks, and in the absence
of n motive they finding the task or
solving the mystery uphill work.
Coroner hewitt has not yet decided when
he will hold an inquest The body of Banks
Is still at the morgue, and the hearing will
take place after the detectives have had
opportunity for additional investigation.
