NEW ORDINANCE MAY
ALTER PLANS OF BANK
Board of Works Takes Building
Problem Under Amusement

OAKLAND, Oct. 2T.-That the con-
tractors engaged in adding two stories
to the Oakland bank of savings build
ing at Twelfth street and Broadway
may have unwittingly violated a new
building ordinance was called to the
attention of the board of works this
morning by Building Inspector Towle.
The measure was passed after the
present building was completed to a
height of six stories. BY the ordinance
all buildings In the city of from six to
ten stories must have two staircases,
as a fire precaution.
The board took the matter of the
Oakland bank under advisement and
In view of the huge cost of building a
new stairway may recommend that a
fire escape be installed.

sfdering the penitentiary more as a
reformatory than as penal institu-
ton. The thought is that it is better
Tor society to prepare an offender for
right living and useful employment
and then turn him loose with chance
to utilize the lesson, than to keep him
smut UP for a long term at the ex-
pense of the community. In actual
practice the system has been found
to work pretty well. 1t does not re-
claim every criminal. No effort is
made to apply it to the hopelessly
hardened criminal. 1t does not al
ways work in the case of first offend
ers. But the general result, where the
plan has been long in practice, has
been satisfactory to those who stand
sponsor for it.
The chief objection to the law is
that it handicaps the courts by dis
couraging pleas of guilty" under
agreement as to a stipulated sentence.
1t is also contended that parole
board cannot go into the merits of a
case SO thoroughly as the trial judge.
The latter argument really does not
apply if it is conceded that reclama-
ton is more important than ven
geance. AS to the former, the hardship
upon the prosecution is of trivial i'm.
portance in comparison with the hard
ship imposed both upon individuals
and the community in keeping men
penned up who might be at large,
pursuing the vocations of useful citi.
zens.

"Gipsy" Smith IN CHICAGO.

Sioux City Journal Gypsy Smith
is not afraid of the big city. He be-
lieves in campaigns where sin is con-
centrated where 1t is entrenched,
and where it serves as a snare for the
unwary The truth is that If the big
cities of the country can be cleaned up
there need be no great amount of wor-
ry over the small cities and the vii
lagos and the rural country. The pace
for sin is set in the big cities, and 1t
has been the fashion to believe that
there was no way to break up its
haunts. Vice and crime have been ac-
cepted as incident to dense population
and to the shelter afforded by the
great city. The plan of Gypsy Smith
is to go into the thick of evil and to
bring all his batteries to bear upon
it. If the big cities can be purified
right living will be popularized in all
the land. The youth go to the city
to see 1t, and that means to 60 down
into its slums among bad women and
worse men, to dance and drink and
revel. The freedom of the city is
maddening. Young men make it a
business to lure young girls to destruc
ton, and the ruin of year is appal-
ling. There are hays who exist on
the spoils of slave hunting. and there
are scoundrels of the male sex who
wear diamonds at the cost of souls
If the great cites can be washed there
will be mighty advance of purity.
The great city is breeding place of
viciousness, and men and women go
out of its hells to spread the torments
of the damned. They employ their
arts as they travel and they recruit
stations scattered everywhere. In the
tenderloins, where the lights are red,
as if rejecting the blood of the inno-
cents, where every device is employed
to bury conscience under depth Of
slime, where the gospel is preached
that nobody will know, there are or
gies drunken and shameless and pas
sions are unbridled. Degradation is
sent out to leer at responsibility, and
from unspeakable centers of vice
steady stream of corruption permeates
all the avenues of society. There is
no greater problem than the great
cities present. Gypsy" Smith has the
hope that they may be regenerated by
the power of the love of God. He
challenges the scoffer. He gathers
here and there little. And thou
sands follow the standard he upholds
into the dark places.

The expert way in which Hiram
Maxim demonstrates the folly of sup.
posing the airship to be a menace to
fleets and cities must come like a cold
douche to those feryid imaginations
which have been depicting the de-
struction of London by German aero
planes. The facts in the case are
thus tersely stated by the Omaha
Bee:
Mr.. Maxim has convincing way of
showing that battery of 100 aero.
planes could not blow up more than
one-half the number of buildings that
London constructs each year, and as
for damage to battleships, that, he in
dicates, would be inconsiderable Bat
ties apparently will continue to be
fought for a few years yet with guns
and by men behind them, and Mr..
Mayim's contribution to current dis
cussion of airships and explosives
should serve as a SOLDERING and llumi-
mating antidote to an alarmist vision.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.

One of the big schools in Council
Bluffs has been closed on account of
the prevalence of diphtheria and scar
let fever which leads the Burlington
Hawk-Eye to say:
Tough, is it not? Cities spend
vast sums for sewer and sanitation
and maintain an extra expensive staff
and pride themselves on their work.
And just about when they believe
that they have the diphtheria and
scarlet fever on the run the trouble
breaks out afresh, and perhaps more
virslently than before. After all it is
very little we know about the conta-
gious diseases"
This much, however, is known to a
certainty-that the only efficient way
to prevent their spread is to separate
the well from the sick This means
quarantine promptly established and
rigidly enforced. The closing of the
schools in Council Bluffs is a confess
sion that this has not been done; that
the local health authorities have been
derelict in the discharge of their duty.
1t is also confession that the school
authorities there are not abreast with
the best sanitary thought of the day.
Authorities on the subject are agreed
that it is a mistake to close the pub

lNpETERMlnArE SENTENCE LAW

In a decision just rendered the Iowa
supreme court upholds the constitu-
tionality of the indeterminate sentence
law passed by the last legislature.
The law was objected to on the
ground, first, that it takes away power
vested in the court and vests it in the
board of parole; secondly that it
delegates the power of pardon and
communication of sentence, vested by
the board of parole.
In regard to the first claim the SUI
preme court says that the legislature
has the power to fix certain term of
imprisonment for any particular crime
and the indeterminate sentence stat
ute no more deprives the court of the
power vested in it by the constitution
than does any other statute fixing
definite punishment. The fact that
the board of parole may lessen the
term of punishment by a parole has no
effect on the constitutionality of the
act, the court thinks.
Neither is there any merit, declares
the court, in the contention that the
state delegates the power to grant
reprieyes, combinations and pardons
to the board of control in violation of
the constitution which grants such
power to the governor. 1t is
shown by the opinion that the
board can neither reprieve, pardon or
commute a sentence and a parole only
consists in the release of a man from
actual restraint. He remains in the
legal custody of the warden until IL :
expiration of his term and is subject
to return to prison at any time. In
addition, the court points out that the
statute specifically states that moth
ing in it shall be construed as impair
ing the power of the governor to grant
reprieves, pardons or communications of
sentences. The opinion of the court
was written by Judge Sherwood. AS
to the intrinsic merits of the new law
and its practical workings the Sioux
City Journal says:

ABOUT RUNNING A NEWSPAPER.

Inc bloomfield Pantdgrapn mas an
interesting discussion respecting the
management and cost incident to the
publication of newspaper. The Pan.
tagraph knows whereof it speaks, and
does not exaggerate in the least the
conditions that newspaper publishers
have to encounter in carrying on their
business. We quote as follows:
"A western paper says some of Its
subscribers demand to know, Why
don't you run metropolitan paper
like this one, or that one?' To this 1t
replies that it will guarantee to get
out the biggest and best newspaper in
the state if some responsible concern
will guarantee to take care of the pay
roll.
That payroll is the rub 1t is the
one thing that the general public
never seems to talk about or think
about in connection with publishing
newspaper Men may criticise pa
per and say how it could be made lar
ger or better and tell how far it comes
of the great dailies, but the matter of
cost does not enter into their calcula-
tons.
Very few may know the extent of
the payroll of newspaper even in
city of modest size. Generally speak
ing, it leads or is we'll up to the big.
gest enterprise of the city in the num-
Der and pay of its employees. Very
few institutions in the average town
have as many families dependent on
1t for support by their labor as the
daily paper. 1t is a weekly payroll
and one that means cash to ever en-
ploye from the editorial staff to the
janitor.
There is no other form of capita,
that must necessarily be more actively
and more constantly and intelligently
employed that that which goes into a
newspaper. It is not an Investment

grow into something, as is the case
with SO much real estate. It demands
hustle, unceasing work, cash and No
other like amount of investment IN tho
community probably gives as much re-
turn for labor
Inc conclusion Of the whole matter
is that as the payroll is taken care of
by the paper and not by any outside
concern, 1t follows that the cornrnunitv
