THE NEW WAR CORRESPOND.
ENCE,
Terse Comments Upon the Christian
..Endeavor Topic for March %, "Great
Missionary Books, Home and For
egn." lisa. 62: Sig.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

The spirit Of the times increasingly
favorable to international peace, but
the sense of obligation to wage war
upon all the forces that make for hui
man hurt is growing by leaps and
bounds. The great conflicts of our
time are between science and disease.
between a new spirit Of altruism
and unforward social conditions, be-
tween truth and error in all depart
ments of human life So the new war
correspondent of the better day that
is dawning Is he who chronicles the
victories of light over darkness, good
over evil, progress over reaction, broth
erliness over selfishness. 1t is not a
too violent stretching Of the figure to
say that the wealth of missionary lit
erature which our day is producing Is
the modern war correspondence 1t
records the victories of the forces OF
the kingdom of heaven over the oppo-
site legions of evil
A good book must mirror real life;
a "goody-goody" book is such because
1t treats of unrealities.
II is perhaps not a matter Of COM
mon knowledge that the first modern
books given to any of the war Christ
ian nations are almost invariably
written by missionaries. These are, in
a sense, the greatest missionar,- books.
even though the missionarys support
ers cannot read them and do not
usually know about them. The gram
mars and dictionaries in China, Japan,
and India were first produced by mis-
sionaries. The earliest. unless upon
modern science, We're from the same
pens. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that-it was the missionary who first
unlocked the treasures of modern
knowledge In the non Christian world.
1t should be remembered. in connec-
ton with any consideration OF mis-

PAROLES IN ILLINOIS.

Cedar Rapids Republican. - In Hi.
nois the professors Of penology and
the officials who have to do with the
care Of the criminals are locking
horns over the more or less sentimer-
tai indeterminate sentences and pa
roles. According to the officials "a
man reads Schopenhauer and Balzac
and few works on crime and the sex
problems and then imagines he is
qualified to look into mans soul and
decide whether he deserves punish,
ment." Against such theories Chief
Shippy cited the cases of four police
men who have been killed within the
past four years by paroled convicts,
and presented statistics showing that
startling proportion Of the crime in
Chicago comes through the depreda-
lions Of criminals out on parole. Chief
Shippy had table of statistics show
ing the number Of convicts sent to
Joliet from Chicago who have been
returned for breaking their parole. 1t
showed:
1905-272 paroled from Joliet; SO

lation of parole.
Undoubtedly we have gone to ex.
cess In our treatment of criminals. AS
pointed out in the Illinois hearing
society spends thousands of dollars to
protect itself against the law breakers
of the criminal classes and when. al
great cost, it has convicted them we
employ high priced parole boards to
set them free. These parole boards
when they hear the prisoners story
are entirely separated from the cir.
cumstances under which the crimes
were committed. The parties who
were wronged. robbed murdered or
manned, were not present There is
simply the man who committed the
crime to tell his story. which may be
more or less sentimental.
But the parole boards are not the
only offenders; executives are also
among the offenders. The parole
boards are often animated bv sentl
mental reasons, but the executives are
apt to be governed by political consid
erations. Men are pardoned for
no other reasons than that thew have
political pulls.
The subject is one of great impor.
lance and we have not reached the
last word on it. So far we have been
dealing largely in sentimentalities.

Over Seas Editor of the London
Daily Mail = 1t is a virile regime at
the White house which this week has
brought to an end, one that has been
marked by courage, vigor, plain speak
ing and determination, and by oppo-
sition to slackness and corruption
a regime that will take an honorable
place in history and will not be for
gotten. President Roosevelt is a man
of type that British people cordial
ly appreciate a sturdy fighter, not
free from mistakes, but never afraid
to stand to his guns. OF course, there
is humorous side to the greatness of
Teddy" whose personality is the
more genial on that account. The want
Of dignity and a sense of fitness that
are among the many disfiguring fea-
lures of American politics is shown by
the mud flung at the president as he
retires from his high position. The
habit Of untimely and unworthy vitu-
peration is no new one in the United
States. A contemporary has revived
the memory of certain comments made
on Washington when he quilted office.
The Aurora Of Philadelphia remarked

No doubt when Mr.. Roosevelt is or
the tracks of big game in Africa he
will reflect that the more one sees Of

TIE LIQUOR MEN SHOULD BE
AGAINST THE WIDE OPEN TOWN,

In this campaign, as in the past, the
Democrats are making the saloon
keeper the football. 1t is certainly be-
yond any logical way to figure why the
men engaged in the liquor business
will year after year allow themselves
to be kicked around by those who get
them into trouble, and never get them
out. Some day - although they may
put 1t off until it is too late the
liquor men, including all of them,
from the bartender to the president OF
the brewery, will wake up to the fact
that the wide open town policy is re-
sponsible for the most of the trouble
that comes to the liquor business.
That is especially the case here in OF
tumwa.
The wide open town administration
encourages the saloons to violate the
law just a little at first and then
more and more, until finally, on ac-
count Of violating the law, the saloon
keeper is fined or imprisoned.
The saloon men in this city certain
ly know by this time that city adj
ministration cannot protect them in
law violation, simply because that adj
ministration has taken an oath under
the state law to punish instead Of pro-
tect the man who dares violate the
law.
Every wide open town administra-
tion has special faYorites in certain
lines Of business which it allows to
do things that it will MT allow others
to do
There never was a wide open town
administration that gave everybody,
even those on its own side, a square
deal. Some one or two or three men
and women are allowed more liberties
than some others in the same lines of
questionable business. The fnvorites
never have to pay as much as the 9th.
ers.
Under the wide open town policy
some saloon keepers who want to vlo-
late the law are given more leeway
than others. This is not square deal
and it never can be, because the liber-
ties allowed by a city administration

pTTuMWA HAS BEEN t4ANDl'
CAPPED.

The great drain that has been going
on in Ottumwa during the years or
the wide open town policy has been
a mighty handicap to the growth Of
the city. Ottumwa has grown some,
but it las been in spite of the wide
open policy and not on account of 1t.
Does it make a city grow to have
bawdy hosues with all the crime and
disease and ruin of manhood and
womanhood in the middle of it's bust
ness district?
Does it make a city grow to have
gambling hells with all their crooked
ness, thicvery and dishonesty in al
most every business block?
Does it make a city grow to have
hirelings selling policy chances on
the streets, and policy game that
is violation of every law of common
decency?
Does 1t make a city grow to have
dives where school boys are enticed
to spend their little bit of money?
Does it make a city grow to turn
acres of it's property over to the Grim
inal class and develop place like
Smoky Row?
Does it make city grow to have
'joints" like those. on South Mark; /
street, Smoky Row and West Main
street?
Do these places and conditions
make people want to invest here?
Do these conditions make women
from out of the city want to come to
Ottumwa to trade?
Certainly they do not. But that is
what Ottumwa has had to contend
with during the wide open" admins
trations. That is what has been handi-
Gaping the growth Of the city. OF
tumwa today should be, with her rail-
roads, coal and surrounding country 70

The little revenue that the saloons
pay into this city is more than eaten
up pby the court costs, caused by the
liquor business. The great majority OF
court expenses in this county are
caused by liquor. If the liquor is put
out of the community the greatest
part of the expenses of the police
court, the justice court, and the dis
trict court are eliminated, thus reduc-
ing the peoples taxes, and at the same
time reducing crime and want and
misery.
