THERE ARE REASONS

why this bank welcomes the accounts of small
depositors as cordially as it does those of larger
size. The man or woman who even starts a
bank account shows adisposition to save which
promises well for the future. The possible.
ties of growth in a small account are not to be
ignored and many a large fortune has had an
insignificant beginning. This bank considers
it just as desirable to have several small ac-
counts aggregating as much as one large one,
for while there is more work involved, this is
offset by the probable future development in
the accounts and the advantage to the bank OF
having several satisfied customers.
We invite you to do your banking business
with us and pledge our best care and attention
to matters entrusted to us, no matter what the
size of your account. Come in and let us talk
1t over with you.

COLLECTION OF TONNAGE
TAX TO BE BEGUN OCT. 8
New Tariff Provides for Cents Duty
Ton on Each Entry of For
elgn Vessels

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S-Collection
of the tonnage tax under the tariff law
recently enacted by congress will be
begun October 5.
Notice to that effect has been sent
by Acting Secretary McHarg Of the
department of commerce and labor to
ali collectors of customs. He directs
their attention to the proclamation of
President Taft revoking the proclama-
tion of the former presidents who had
suspended the collection of tonnage
dues.
The new tariff law provides that a
tonnage duty of 2 cents per ton, not
to exceed in the aggregate 10 cents per
ton in any one year, be imposed at
each entry on all vessels from any
foreign port or place in North Amer
lea, Central America, the West Indies,
the Bahama and Bermuda islands, or
the coast of South America bordering
on the Caribbean sea or Newfound-
land, and duty of cents per ton,
not to exceed 30 cents per ton per an
mum, be imposed at each entry on all
vessels from any other foreign port,
not, however, to include vessels in
distress or not engaged in trade.

at its previous meeting, but DR.. Julian
w. Sloan of Richmond gave a descrip-
tion of a visit he had paid to the local
city Jail and spoke of the miseFably
filthy, unhygienic conditions I wit
messed there. +" The president in his
opening address also referred to the
typical county Jail, declaring that "at
every prison congress condemnation,
dire and fateful, has fallen upon it's
ss-covered roof, but 1t smiles and
smiles and is a villain still" The 1909
congress, held in Seattle, listened to
only one paper on the question, by w.
A. Gates secretary of the California
state board of charities and corrections,
in which he most severely criticised ex-
listing conditions.
Try to think yourself into some faint
comprehension of the disease breeding,
MISUNDERSTANDING crime-developing
features of the picture presented, not
by the Prison Reform league, but by
most conservative committee to high
ly responsible~-body. Link this with
your recollection of the wealth Of tes-
timony we have offered respecting ille-
gal arrests, the fee system and other
forces manipulated by the authorities
apparently for the purpose of insuring
it that the demand for larger and larger
jails, shall not be allowed to slacken.
And consider that, at present, none
save handful of reformers raises even
a murmer-because the nation at large
is Of opinion that anything Is good
enough for a criminal or one suspected
of crime. Dominated by the deterrent
philosophy we dream that crime can be
stopped by making everything con-
nected with 1t the acme OF misery ana
we ignore the obvious fact that, like
everything else in nature, 1t has
cause and that only by removal of such
cause can cure be effected.

On the subject of Exercise" the re-
port uses emphatic language, saying
1--WE hear, in almost all the reports
the dull, monotonous, maddening tramp
of prisoners aimlessly walking up ano
down the corridor of the county Jalls
of our land. OF course, this tramp Is
not at the specific command OF the
jailers; the slouching march over the
same dead level of stone floor Is the
only means of exercise, and in that
sense compulsory. In Francois Cope
story, LIE Coupable,' we have vivid
and dramatic picture of the physical
and psychical effects of this irrational
aimless, maddening form of exercise
Let anyone of us imagine himself
waiting, perhaps for many months,
perhaps even for years, with no exer-
else but the tramp tramp in the close
and dark corridor of county Jail. 1t
is the path straight to lunacy. Why
not have walled yards in the open air,
partly sheltered from rain, covered over
with steel wire to prevent eScapeE IL
is simple; it Is easy; 1t is human JUS
tice; it is social interest and wisdom.
But it Is rarely thought of. Anyone
who has seen Franch jails of the better
sort knows how easy it would be to cor
rect this defect"
Gross OVefcrowding
Considerable space naturally is given
to the question of "crowding." The
declaration is made that "the modern,
up-to-date, scientific standard is that
each prisoner, awaiting trial, must
have a decent and spacious cell to
himself, without corrupting and de-
grading contact with criminals; and
that when two inmates are in COM
pany there is crowding in the hygienic
I, ,raR.f
continues: Judged by this modern
standard, almost every Jail reported
to us requires to be rebuilt on a new
plan; almost all are liable to be crowd
ed, If there are more than two or three
prisoners at one time" The returns
are reported as covering an immense
variety of conditions, from the al
most entirely empty rural institution,
in a prohibition county of Kansas,
where the only inmate was man who
had kept a "blind pig" to the ill
smelling city jails, where, at times
the cells are packed at night like the
lower deck of slave ship, and where
the corridors afford scant room for
the crowd of men who swarm in there
during the day. An average for the
whole country would mean nothing.
The following examples are then given
the report being submitted, 1t must
be remembered, just two years ago:
In Birmingham, Alabama, we find
reported 240 men in 72 cells and 2S
women in 10 cells. The cells are by
feet. There was one boy.
In Denver Colorado, there were 1SS
men in 80 cells and % women in 2(
cells, 6x9 feet.
In Los Angeles, California, there were
1876 men in Sc cells; there were 80 cells
designed for four men each and A
cells designed for two men each, sx'
feet and 8x6 feet.
In ColorAdo Springs, Colorado, there
were SIS men in 10 cells, and four wo-
men in one cellroom.
In Stockton, California, there were
six "drunks; in one cell, 15x1s feet
and 40 prisoners in 26 cells.

JAIL CONDITIONS
RUDELY SCORED
CONDEMNED RUTHLESSLY BY
PRISON EXPERTS
Described as Well Enough Adapted
to Serve as ReceptacIes for
Wild Beasts in
Cages

In its last letter the Prison Reform
league called attention to the striking
fact that about half of those who find
their way into Jail in this country are
between the ages of 10 and 80, the
latest figures giving 1886 as between
Is and 19. 1t made this fact the basis
of a special plea to the mothers of the
nation.
More than 25 per cent of the prison.
ers in the United States, according to
the latest statistics, are serving sem
tences of less than one month. This
fact makes the conditions existing in
our county and city jails of the first
importance, especially when We con-
slider that, apart from those actually
convicted, tens of thousands of our fel-
low citizens, of both sexes and of all
ages and social grades, find themselves
detained there. many only under ac-
cusation of crime and others merely
that they may be held securely as wit
nesses.
THE conditions are the subject of
continual criticism, almost invariably
unfavorable, in the daily press, but
general bird's-eye view of the situation
can be obtained only by referring to
some exhaustive report, such as that
published in 1907 by the American
Prison association. On that we shall
draw. therefore, at unusual length, for
II covered the widest area and was
most thorough, the committee inform
ing the congress that it had collected
and made abstracts of the laws of all
states relating to county jails, and had
gathered more than 2S9 schedules from
thirty-seven states and territories. 1t
NAV be regarded, therefore, as excep-
tionally authoritative, and it was rem
dered lust two years ago. Tasks of
such magnitude can be undertaken
only at rare intervals, and this report
is the most instructive guide we are
likely to have for years to come.
The report begins with consldera-
tion of Conditions of Security" Here,
and here only. is it favorable, the
statement being that "a few Jails are
reported to be too badly constructed
to hold dangerous criminals; but ap-
parently nearly all are secure or con-
tain steel cages for special cases. There
does not seem to be pressing need OF
attention and reform in this matter.
If the only or chief purpose Of Jails
were to keep wild beasts In cages,
most of them are we'll enough adapted
to this purpose"

MANY MISSOURI ROADS
APPEAL FROM DECISION
Eiqhteen Lines File Cross Bills Asking
That All Railroads be Treated
Alike

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 1s.-Frank
Hagerman, representing eighteen
Missouri railroads, filed in the federal
court here today cross appeal to the
United States supreme court in the
Missouri passenger rate cases. The
cases grew out Of the two-cent fare
law Of 1907.
The federal district court enjoined
the state from enforcing the law,
Judge Mcpherson holding that the
two-cent fare was confiscatory and
that 21s cents a mile would be reason
able for some of the stronger roads.
The railroads in their petition today
ask the supreme court to decide that
a rate cannot be enforced against a
strong road that is not enforced
against a weak one. The railroads OBJ
ject to the finding that they must pay
half the cost of the suits.
The state recently appealed from
Judge McPherson's decision and the
case is now pending in the higher
court.

IN DEMOCRACY
W. O. MORTON ADDRESSES THE
JEFFERSON CLUB
MOVEMENT STARTED FOR STATE
CONFERENCE
Speaker at Weekly Luncheon Makes
Plea for Organization and for
Harmony Among Menu
bers of Party

'Resolved, That the secretary of the
Jeffewon club be directed to enter
into correspondence with Democrats
throughout the state. with a view of
arranging for state conference OF
Democrats, similar to that of New
Yorl. state Democrats recently held at
Saratoga"
The foregoing was the resolution
adopted by the Jefferson club at the
noon luncheon yesterday at the Hol-
Ienbeek hotel. The principal speaker
was w. o. Morton. He said in part:
"The great trouble is the Democratic
party is divided in our city and county
affairs. In the political contests in Los
Angeles the party has been torn
asunder by those who assumed con-
troll. l despise the man who under
takes to destroy his party If he can
not agree with all the political meth
DDS. l do not decry organization. NO
great victory was ever won without
the influence of organization. man
NAV call it a machine, but he who
decries it is a hypocrite. Battles are
won by complete organization con-
Quoted according to law and order.
1--WE cannot reform the party oy
abandoning it and going into some
side show controlled by the political
rascal. The way to reform the party
is to stand by it and raise your voice
against political corruption.
Men of Courage Love Harmony
al despise the slogan, I am holier
than thou True Arnericanism does
not believe in chickering's and strife. All
men Of courage love harmony. 1t can
not be expected that a party VIII
prosper when its members are con-
tinually flying at the throats of eacn
other.
1--WE cannot expect to elect the Demo
Gratis on strictly Democratic lines. we
must select a man who has the con1-
dence of all parties. I believe the
Democratic party has a mission to full
fI-men to fill with high honors the
political positions-but we must adhere
to principle and let the results care
for themselves
The speaker for next Saturday will
be John w. Hartigan, adjutant general
Of Nebraska.
