JAIL IS NO GOOD
StearnS County BastiIe No Place
For Prisoners
CONDEMNED FOR YEARS
Still County Commissioners Take
No Steps to Make it Fit
Place For Inmates

ST. Cloud, Jan. 29-The building
that passes for a Jail here is a dis
grace to the county.
1t is unsafe and no place to put
dangerous criminals So says Sheriff
]. B. Moritz and he ought to knew.
The sheriff, referring to his action in
taking to ST. Paul for safe keeping
the three men arrested for burglary
and the shooting of Officer Henry
Becker, is quoted as saying:
I'VE have no Jail here that is ft to
hold criminals of the character of
these men. For some years past the
Jail has been condemned by the grand
jury, with recommendations to the
county commissioners to either build
a new county jail or renovate the pres
ent one. These recommendations have
not even been considered by the COM
missioners and nothing has been
done"
The sheriff goes on to say that there
are but three safe cells in the Jail and
the men could not be placed there be-
cause they would communicate with
each other, to prevent which he would
have had to hire extra guards at great
expense.
The Times, referring to the Incl
dent, says, among other things:
"Stearns county needs a modern, up
to-date Jail to replace the rickety, un-
sanitary one in use at present. The
Jail itself was condemned several
months since and this fact is on
record in the Office of the state board
of control. Only recently prisoner
remarked that he would sooner serve
two years in the state penitentiary
than to serve six months in the
Stearns county jail"
There is said to be another reason
why the prisoners were taken to st.
Paul, namely that had the sheriff kept
them here he would have been COM
PEELED to pay out of his own pocket
the necessary expense for extra
guards. 1t is said that Sheriff Moritz,
who is a first-class officer who places
the performance of duty above mere
political intrigue, has asked the county
commissioners time and again for
more help but that his requests have
passed unheeded.
1t is even whispered in certain cor
ners, so the gossips aver, that the
sheriff is not in harmony with the
commissioners for the reason that he
is not sufficiently partisan to measure
up to their exalted ideal of what
public official should be.
Be that as it may, the fact remains
that the Jail has been officially de-
clared unsafe by the grand jury and
that the commissioners have not raised
a finger to improve conditions. Sheriff
Moritz's plain talk, it is said, sub
rosa, is not likely to raise him any
higher in the estimation of the COM
missioners. Others declare that the
commissioners, having saved the
county some $1,000 by awarding the
official printing to the Weekly Times
at half rates-compelled to do so by
the action of seven of the county
papers-might now use the money
saved to fix up the Jail. Others say:
Were from the state where the Bud
weiser comes FROM"

The first intimation Mr.. Howard

Protection of People or Protec-
ton of Tariff.
Houston Post.

Since the powers that be are
of the opinion that there shall
be no change of tariff schedules
this session of Congress, one can
but draw the conclusion that the
beloved fetch of Republicanism
is to be preserved no matter
whether the people are or not.
The people can be depended
upon to take care of themselves,
but this father of trusts and COR
ruption will be carefully shield
ed from harm. No unkind
friend must be allowed to look
uponit, lest the evil eye of Dem
ocracy blight it's being. When
a new pair of pants is to be or
dered, only it's friends are to
have the making of them, lest
perchancet here be slip of the
scissors and a piece be wantonly
clipped out. Nc hostile hand
shall have the measurement of
those garments, lest here and
there a few corporations and
trusts be hurt by exposure to
the miasmic air of competition.
Yea, verify, let the people clam
or. They are accustomed to be-
ing told they do not know what
is good for them, but while they
receive no protection the tariff
is in the hands of it's friends and
will receive no hurt.

Other Testimony
For Cotton Seed Meal as a Food
For Live StOck.

At meeting of the South Car
DINA Live Stock Association held
at Columbia, S. c., on February
8 and 8 an address full of prac-
tical advice, backed by scientific
knowledge was delivered by the
eminent DIR. TAFT Butler of
Raleigh, N. c., Oh practical
Stock Feeding in the South"
DR.. Butler is recognized au-
thority on feeds and feeding, and
what he says should have special
weight and influence throughout
the entire South, and that part
of his discussion touching the
feeding of horses, mules and
colts is of special Importance to
the Southern breeder.
In the official report of the
general discussion which fol-
lowed DR.. Buffers address this
occurs. DR.. Buelar was asked:
"You speak of feeding horses
cotton seed mail. What about
the muscular forming properties
of cotton seed meal on the ami.
NAL compared to corn and oats?
DR.. Butler: "There is enough
known about feeding horses cot
ton seed meal for me to state
that if you had a horse that you
were feeding fourteen pounds of
corn daily that you could take
out four pounds of that corn and
put in two pounds of cotton seed
meal and get better results. Not
because corn is not the best feed
we have for supplying heat and
energy, but there is another
thing needed. When that horse
supplies you muscular energy he
is burning up his muscles just
as you burn coal in /, furnace to
supply energy to run the ma
chinery of your factories, and
he has got to have something to
build up those wasted muscles,
and corn does not contain it in
sufficient quantity. A little cot
ton seed meal is better than an
additional amount of corn.

your horses clover an ten younds
