Protecting Young Girls.

Dispatches from St. Cloud say that
the oaiclal scalp of Chief of Police
Quinlivan is demanded in a petition
for his removal signed by 257 persons,
about half of whom are women, the
chief complaint against him being
hat he has been slack in his duties
with regard to keeping young girls of
the streets.
Chief Quinlivan probably thinks
that he has troubles of his own.
But it might be worse.
Just suppose, for instance, he had
accosted on the street the daughter OF
any one of the 128 women who signed
that petition and told the young
woman to go home.
What sort of howl for Quinlivan's
scalp would have been made then,
think you?
And really, now, is it Quinlivan's
place, primarily, to keep young girls
off the street who behave themselves:
Is there no duty on the part of the
fathers and mothers of st. Cloud and
of other cities to keep their daughters
and their sons-in check?
st. Cloud is not exploring new
ground in its troubles over the boys
and girls.
Similar situations arise wherever
parents grow careless.
No doubt conditions very similar to
those in ST. Cloud called forth from
the Bancroft S. D. Register the follow
ing burst of editorial razor-edge:

Horrors Of Mexico.

This inform alton is aptly supple
mented in a letter received from Los
Angeles man who is travelling in Mex.
leo, who says:
"But the natives! Twelve millions
of the Is, O0n, 900 are poems, ignorant,
poor, miserable, living in unutterable
filth, and with instincts below those
of the dumb brutes of our country.
The death rate here is something
frightful, due to the manner in which
these Mexicans live. Take the worst
part of Sonoratown in Los Angeles,
multiply it by hundred and you
haven't then condition such as ex-
lists in Mexico City and throughout
the republic. They are absolutely
without mercy toward each other Or
toward beasts, and their treatment of
horses and mules is the most brutal I
ever saw. There seems to be no hope
for them: they are degenerates, wea-
kened by blood disease, leprosy,
smallpox, ETC., and, what makes it
bad for foreigners here, these sick
and crippled, some of them frightfully
mutilated, are allowed to run at large
and beg on the streets. Frequently
one sees person with smallpox on
the street, and lepers are common.
So I say, the filth and diseased con-
dition of the Mexicans, and the hor-
ror of their existence renders per-
son with humanitarian instincts abb
solutely unhappy. I have frequently
passed Belem prison. No place with
the possible exception of the ''Black
Hole of Calcutta" it is declared, can
be compared to Belem.''
In view of the conditions described
in this letter, and of the general bar
barity Of Diaz-land, the monstrous
and cruel atrocity of betrayal into
the hands of Mexico of political pri-
soners who may at any time seek re-
fuge under the Stars and Stripes from
oppression and tyranny becomes more
apparent than ever, and surely it be-
hooves our government to exercise
keenest viligance with regard to
charges preferred against Mexican
refugees in the United States lest at
any time Uncle Sam be betrayed into
acting as special policeman for the
nation that maintains Black Hole
OF Calcutta as part OF the habitu al
economy of it's civil life.

Social conditions ia Mexico fill with
horror every sensitive American item
derfoot'' who visits the southern re-
public. The American Magazine is
performing public service-or we
might even say duty-by giving us the
information about Mexico which the
consuls and consular agents of the
United States, for reasons best known
to themselves and the government,
make practice of withholding from
the public, although the consuls must
be familiar with them.
It is a striking illustration of the
notorious general ineAiciency of the
consular Hservice'' that a popular
magazine is able to promise in series
of articles more genuine information
as to the condition of Mexico than the
United States have enjoyed since the
conquest of California.
j. K. Turner, who obtained the in
formation and wrote the articles, says
human slavery exists in Mexico, not in
a few instances, but in hundreds of
thousands. Men, women and children
are bought and sold, overworked,
beaten and abused. He writes:
''Most of US picture Mexico vague
ly as a republic in reality much like
our own, inhabited by people little
different in temperament! A little
poorer and little less advanced, but
still enjoying the protection of repu-
blican laws a free people in the sense
that we are free. Mexico is country
without political freedom, without
freedom of speech, without free press,
without free ballot, without jury
system, without political parties, with
out any of our cherished guarantees
of life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. It is a land where there has
been no contest for the Office of presi-
dent for more than generation, where
the executive rules all things by means
of a standing army, where political
Offices are sold for fixed price, where
the public school system in vast coun-
try districts is abolished because a
governor needs the money. I found
Mexico to be land where the people
are poor because they have no rights,
where peonage is the rule for the great
mass and where actua chattel slavery
obtains for hundreds of thousands. -

DR.. A. Norman Tough, the concert
pipe organist, who is to appear in
conjunction with the Second Regiment
band at Turner Theatre on the evening
OF September Both, is a pupil of Sir
Frederic Bridge, organist at West
minister Abbey, and of the late Sir
John Strainer, organist at st. Paul's
Cathedral in London. The London
Daily Standard in speaking of one of
his concerts had the following: Ellis
rendition of the "Taunhauser' over
ture was magnificent. The audience
which was made up mostly of must
clans, gave him such demonstration
of applause that he was forced to PLAY
the last half of the overture over.''
In the two appeal cases in the Anna
Brust estate Judge Olsen last week
filed his decisions practically re-
versing the lower court. The amount
involved is 81 ,295. While the estate
was in Probate Court, Mrs. Mary
Hoerr and Henry F. Bergman filed
so-called contingent claims demanding
that the amount left in the hands of
the Executor after the payments of the
legacies and debts and expenses be
given to them. No one appearing
and opposing the allowance of these
claims, the same were allowed by the
Probate Court. Later on, the heirs at
law of Mrs. Brust, most of whom re-
side in Norway, appealed from the
order of the Probate Court allowing
the final account. of the Executor and
from the final decree assigning the
estate for the purpose of testing the
correctness of the courts decision in
allowing these claims. The district
court by its decisions just handed
down, holds that these claims were
not valid claims against the estate
and directs that the final account be
so amended that there will be in the
hands Of the Executor for distribution
the sum of 81 ,295 and the final decree
to be amended so that this sum be
assigned to the heirs at law of Anna
Brust. This means, in effect, that
this money instead of going to Mrs
Brust's step-children, will now go to
her brothers and sisters.

A Legal Atrocity.

Some weeks ago David M. Pascoe,
editor of paper published at Ger
mantown, Pa, was arrested, tried and
convicted of criminal libel, and SEN
senced to long term in jail. His
eoffense consisted in the publication of
certain charges against the sheriff of
Philadelphia. These charges appear
to have been fully substantiated at
the trial, but, adhering to the anti
quated maxim, "The greater the truth,
the greater the libel,' the court sent
MIN to keep company with common
lawbreakers in the jail. The judge
seems to have been so strongly i'm
pressed by the danger to CONSTITUTED
authorities involved in too free
criticism of official wrong-doing in the
columns of the press, as to forget the
fund amentals of justice in jurispru-
c1ence.
Since Pennsylvania has been for
years the scene of the greatest dis
plays of official corruption and wrong
doing ever seen in misunderstanding
even New York's Tammany grafters--
it is quite natural that the maxim
above quoted should there retain
~credence now denied It elsewhere in
she United States. The courts action
is in accord with a law of libel advo-
Gated and approved by the disciples
of Quay, and the enactment of which
was urged by Quay's tool and rela-
tive, former Governor Pennypacker.
That remarkable parsonage also, it
may be remembered, urged the enact
anent of law Furnishing the cartoon
ing of public men without their written
consent.
Bat could anything be more peril
gus to our American liberties than
this denial of the right of the press to
make known the doing of wrong or
oppressive acts by public officials?
Where, indeed can those liberties find
Shelter if not in a free and independent
press? Yet the state pardon board not
only refuses!P petition for apar-
don, 5ut turns down, with hardly the
courtesy of hearing, other petitions
in his favor.
The Philadelphia press, of course,
edenounces both the conviction and the
denial of pardon; SO does the indie
pendent state treasurer, John O.
Sheath, who did so much to unearth
the capitol frauds, and who appre-
ciates the value of citizen courage
Gus enough to attack iniquity backed
by official power and rotten laws.
But it seems difficult to arouse, in be-
sotted Pennsylvania, such a storm of
Gndignation as ought weeks ago, not
only to have opened Pascoe's prison
doors, but to have forced all con-
cerned in his Imprisonment from the
official places they have disgraced.--

IRISH DEFENDER
OF CLIFFORD PlNcHoT.
Declares Him a Remarkable Public
! Servant Doing His Work With
Great Efficiency.

New York. Dec. 30.-Gifford Pin
chot found support in his controversy
with Secretary Ballinger from an un-
expected quarter.
Speaking before the Economic and
Historical Association; Sir Horace
Plunkett of Dublin, who has brought
about rural revolution in Ireland
and is said to know more about the
resources of the United States than 80
per cent of our own citizens said:
Il greatly regret that have just re-
ceived a telephone message from Mr..
Pinchot that pressing business keeps
him away. | must decline to enter
into any controversy, but should like
to say that regard Mr. Pinchot as
q very remarkable public servant. He
is not only man who is doing his
work with great efficiency, but he is
trying as we'll to broaden his admin
istrative position"
Sir Horace expressed surprise that
the warning repeatedly uttered by
James ]. Hill had not been better
needed in this country. He thought
that perhaps we were so much inter
ested in the trusts and in municipal
regulations that we blinded the sure
approach of more distant, but also
more important problem.

Percy, Henry Algernon George
formerly secretary of state for foreign

The death of the earl created a sen

death is due to other than natural
causes, though the rumor of person

CONVICT LABOR AFFECTS
MINING OF LlGNITE,
thousand Acres of Coal Lands Sold
in Texas for Small Sum
of $4,000.

San Antonio, Texas, Dec. 30.-In a
deal made between D. ]. Woodward
of this city and Frank Tomlinson Of
Big Springs, 1000 acres of land known
to be underlaid with high grade liz.
mite deposit, was transferred to the
latter for the sum of $4,000. The
property is located near the CalyeTy
Ignite mines in Robinson county,
where the best Ignite coal in the
state is mined. The purchase price
is considered very low and it is un
derstood that the possibility of the
government abolishing in the near fu
ture all contract convict labor, is
partly responsible for this Owing tt
the fact that Ignite does not bring
d good price in competition with 9th
er Goals its mining in Texas hereto
fore has depended largely on such
cheap labor as the convict lease sys
TEN afforded. Experts declare how
ever, that the use of better machin
cry will make the mining of Ignite
profitable especially when it is useC
without having to be transported any
great distance. Mr.. Tomlinson is
heavily interested in light and power
plants all over the state and it il
thought that he will erect a large elec
trio plant near the ignite beds.
