GIANT STEP IN
RIGHT DIRECTION
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM FAVORS
REMOVING STATE EDUCA-
TIONAL INSTITUTIONS FROM
POLITICAL BICKERING.

"An important feature of the Re-
publican state platform Is the plank
pertaining to the educational insti-
tutions of the state" said former
Senator George e. Crum. Hereto
fore appropriations for their mainte-
nance have always beef hindered
and hampered by hundred other
Lills. Instead of these appfepria-
tions having the right of way, as
they should, they have been side
tracked and had to wait and depend
upon the fate of sundry other inter-
ests and bills. 1t has always been
a hard fight to secure reasonable ap-
propriations for the maintenance of
the institutions.
"A giant step was taken in the
right direction at Boise in adopting
plank for the purpose Of lifting
the educational institutions OF the
state out of the deplorable condition
that has always existed.
"The plank reads: Our system OF
public educational institutions con.
sisting Of the numerous public
schools and high schools Of the state,
the Normal schools and Lewiston
and Albion, the Academy of Idaho
at Pocatello, the State Industrial
school at st. Anthony and the Uni.
versity Of Idaho. composed Of a col.
lege OF letters and arts. the college
Of agriculture and the college Of en-.
cheering. located at Moscow, should
be the first concern of the people oi
the state. ...
"In this connection the legisla
ture is urged to take up and pan
before other legislation is consider
ed appropriation bills for the educa
tional institutions of the state
'Tt should be the duty OF every
member of the legislature to see tha
the recommendation contained II
this plank is carried out. This will
place our educational institutions ol
a higher plane. These institution
do not belong to the communities II
which they happen to be located
They belong to the whole state. Ev
cry citizen Of the state, regardless o
locality, should take pride in help
ing to build up these institutions an
caring for their welfare II the leg
islature. as recommended in tn
above plank. will pass the mainte
nance bill for educational institu
tions before considering other bills
a long step will be taken in tn
right direction. These institution
will not then be subject to the bick
ering and trading incident to tn
legislature"

JESSE PoMER0Y
LIFE PRISONER
DEGENERATE AS BoY-sEN-
FENCED FOR LIFE-HAS NOW
SENT 80 YEARS BEHIND THE
rKISON WALLS.

Boston. Mass, Sept. 5.-Jesse
pcneroy. one of the most notorious
lite prisoners in the United States,
tomorrow will be gin the thirty
second year of his solitary contine-
u,ent behind the gray walls of the
famous states prison at Charlestown.
All of these years have been passed
i'm solitary confinement.
When he was IA years old Pome-
for torturing and numbering little
children. He is now 48 years old
and looks to be much older. Despite
his long Incarceration, he apparently
still has hopes of pardon, though
he never has been given the slight
est encouragement.
In the early '70s Jesse Pomeroy
and his crimes were discussed from
one end of the country to the other.
Boston and vicinity were in state
of terror, when one small child after
.amother was discovered horribly
besten, and no cruelty to the per-
Detrator of the horrible cruelties
could be found.
On the day after Christmas, 1874,
"a child named Paine, living in Chel-
sea, was found unconscious, tied TO
"a beam ON Powder Horn Hill. His
entirely nude body was covered with
great welts. When he recovered his
irate father and the police learned
that he had met an older boy, who
had led him away from the public
streets, and had then, in spite OF
his weak protests, stripped him or
his clothes and beat him again and
again with q rope.
Before the general excitement
over this mysterious assault har
away, another little boy named
y Tracy Hayden, was found In an out
oi-the way lot. stripped and tied to
boards by q rope. His front teeth
we're missing, the bridge of his nose
was broken and on ot1hsr parts OF
his body were a score e bruises
The child told q tale similar to that
related by the first boy who had been
assaulted.
This second dastardly assault In
lamed the whole community. II
was argued that no person Of ordin'
ary criminal or vicious instincts
could have committed such wanton
cruelties. The assaults were clearly
the work Of q degenerate. Fathers
throughout Chelsea and South Bos
ton wished to burn him at the stake
Mothers, when their children wer'
long absent. became hysterical.
For three months thereafter NJ
assaults of this nature were comit
ted. and families began to breathe
easier. But one day in early July
1872, boy, johnny Balch, aged 5
returned to his home in South Bos
ton on the verge of delerium and CO,
vulsions. Two hours before he SAT-
ne had met an older boy who offere'
him candy and then took him to

Says that If s2,OOO,OOO Asked for Is
Not Granted Men Must BE Dis
chnrKed-Rep1fes 10 Resolution Re-
Rarding Lay-Off Of Employees.

Thousands of men now employed in the
Washington and other navy yards
throughout .he country may be laid off
indefinitely unless Congress can be in
duced to allow the Navy Department the
$2.OOO.000 which the Bureau OF Ordnance
some time ago requested under the term
appropriations for the increase of the
navy armor, and armament"
The Navy Department. according TO
Secretary Metcalf. who yesterday COM
municated this startling Information to
Congress. is not desirous of laying these
men off; in fact, from the statement ac-
companying the Secretary's communica-
ton, it is evident that the department
would make but little reduction in the
forces at the various yards, provided
Congress will appropriate eDosgh money
to carry on the work OF the Ordnance Bu-
reau.
Answers n Request.
Secretary Metcalf was requested some
time ago by the House to give reasons,
If any there might be, why certain reduc-
tions had been made in the force OF men
employed at the nations navy yards. In
his reply, after giving a tabulated state
ment, in which the mea employed last
year, the men employed on February IL
of this year, and the normal force"
which the department would approve for
each yard. the Secretary goes on: "A
large reduction of force has been pre-
vented at the naval gun factory in
Washington by adopting system OF fur
Ioughs for a number Of days per employe
per month.
Unless Congress appropriates the 81
10000 asked for under the appropriation

ment'' estimated by the Bureau OF ORD
ance for the present fiscal year, but not al
lowed by the House Naval Committee. or
other relief is found. these furloughs will
have to cease, ana a very large reduction
OF forces employed at all yards and sta
! tions will probably be necessary"
The tabulated list accompanying the

shows the number Of mechanics and labor
