Where America Fails.

Attorney General Moody found oc-
casion. in the course of a recent hear
ing by the Senate Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds. to in
dicate the probable growth Of the
Department of Justice. IN that con-
nection he made the following state
ment, which must appeal to every
reader of these columns as worth the
most serious attention:
If Congress provides. as I think it
should provide. some method for the
Supervision OF our Federal prisoners
some method by which men may be re-
leased upon parole. that is going to re-
quire space.
We are archaic in our treatment of
ConViCts
We are inhumane
We are behind all other civilized juris-
dictions.
l doubt II there is anv State In the
Union that has not some method OF
dealing with criminals after they are
convicted with view 10 their reforma-
ton, with view to their release vban
conditions come which call for fbej-
release, conditions which do not call for
eItner pardon or communication but

there is only too much reason to
think it is true-that we are

all other civilized jurisdictions" in
our treatment Of criminals, we may
not have so much right to be rroud
as we think.

HENRy'S IDEA
OF STANFORD CASE
HIGH SHERIFF HAS A THEORY
THAT DIR. JORDAN MAY BE
GUILTY.

High Sheriff Henry has evolved a
theory that DR.. David Starr Jordan had
something to do with the death Of Mrs
Jane L. Stanford. He says that the
university was hard up and that DR..
Jordan is a fanatic in his devotion to
the cause of science and would stop at
nothing to aid the cause Says the
sheriff:
"The Stanford University was at
the time of Mrs. Stanford's death in
most urgent need of money AS mat
ter of fact, from Investigations 1 made
while L was handling the case, 1
found out that the institution was in
practically a bankrupt condition.
when Dr. Jordan and Mr.. Hopkins
were here, ostensibly to investigate the
cause of Mrs. Stanford's death, the al
purpose they were working for was to
make it believed that Mrs. Stanford
died from natural causes and was not
murdered. 1 myself told them right to
their faces that that was what they
were trying Ito do"

MORTON AFRAID !
Of LEGISLATION
PRESIDENT URGES POLICY HOLD
ERs THROUGHOUT COUNTRY TO
WORK AGAINST MEASURES.

NEW YORK December IAN APP
peal to the policy holders in all the
States of the Union to lend their as
sistance in preventing adverse legisla-
ton is made by President Paul Morton
of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety in circular letter which is be-
ing sent to policy holders. President
Morton says that the insurance bust
ness is certain to be the subject or
great consideration by legislatures soon
to convene as a result of what has b en-
printed and said about insurance dur
ing the last six months.
But you cannot give men character
nor make them honest by preamble re-
solution or enactment" says the let
ter what the life insurance business
needs above everything is honesty and
4 good business administration. There
can be no objections to proper legisa-
ton safeguarding the business but it
should be sound and sane. The society
/ depends upon it's policy holders to see
that there is no unreasonable legisla-
ton enacted.
1T may from time to time call their
attention to measures calculated to
| do them harm but under no circum-
stances will it be party to any corrupt
methods in preventing strike legisla-
tion. We aim to meet the just re-
quirements of every State and Govern
ment and rely upon upon our policy

holders ito see that no injustice is done
them. Your dividend would be near
ly 10 per cent larger if it were not for
the State taxes and license fees that
the society is obliged to pay"
Mr.. Morton expresses the opinion that
the Equitable has no right to contri-
butte to political campaign funds and
informs the policy holders that no such
contributions will be made by the So
ciety in the future.
He assures the policy holders that
the financial condition of the society
as disclosed by a most careful eXa-
mination by competent and disinterest-
ed accountants, is excellent, and that
many economies already in practice
and others yet to be made surely will
enhance its conditions.

PROMOTION WORK

would prove extremely popular. The

Commissioners.
Several answers were received to the
circular letter concerning the organiza-
ton of city improvement clubs and the
suggestion that women should be in
cluded in the memberships was unani-
mously approved.
A sample of the posters advertising

the poster will be devoted to an illus
tration showing a woman on horse

The railroad company began using
the new coal bunkers which have just
been completed east of town. Engines
began coaling there on Wednesday.
On Thursday when the first car of coal
was hoisted up the incline the wire
cable slipped when the car was about
half way up and the car went down
somewhat faster than it went up,
striking a string of fiat cars near the
foot OF the incline and smashing the
one. laden with coal and doing more
or less damage to some of the fiat cars.
The new hosting machinery, after
some needed repairs We're made worked
very satisfactorily, and is a great i'm
