WHERE THE INNOCENTsU

WHERE THE INNOCENT SUFFER
The real hardships Of crime fall
heaviest in nine cases out Of ten upon
the innocent.
Wives and children suffer equally
in disgrace and far more in actual
privation through the delinquencies Of
the actual criminal.
He may 60 to Jail or to the work
house or to the penitentiary and the
state puts him at enforced labor, from
which it reaps = financial return, but
it also feeds and warns and clothes
him, while the members of his family
are left in dire straits and dependent
upon charity.
They must look to sympathizing
friends :or aid and support, often at
the sacrifice Of their own pride and
selfrespect
The fathers eat sour grapes and the
children's teeth are set on edge.
1t should not be 50.
Every dollar of earning capacity of
the men in prison should be devoted
to the maintenance Of the family he
has left helpless outside the walls.
The law Furnishes q man for mon
support" Of his dependent ones by
shutting him up and appropriating
the proceeds Of his labor, when the
merest justice demands that those
proceeds should 60 into the home he
has left.
But the policy Of our punitive sys-
tenn seems to be TO infict far greater
penalties upon the innocent than upon
the guilty.-Win6eld tKan.) Courier.

His Good Work.

The director OF q prison received an
order after many years service. He
had all the prisoners called together
and made the following speech to
them:
As you see. I have been decorated.
by royal grace. with an order. But
willingly acknowledge that this has
been attained not alone BY my own
merits. but BY the cooperation Of all
Of Us. I can also declare. with pleas
ure. that since ] have occupied this
Office the number Of prisoners has in
creased from 40 to 7OO-a fact OF
which both you and I may be justly
proud. Tit-Bits.

SOCIALIST" MILWAUKEE.

SOCIALIST" MILWAUKEE.
Something else has of a sudden made
Milwaukee famous. 1t may be doubt
ed if the year brings forth more inter.
esting political event than yesterdays
dispatches record, the election of .
socialist mayor Of Milwaukee by the
largest plurality ever given a mayor.
But that feat has been equalled. John
G.. Chase was once elected socialist
mayor Of Haverhill, Massachusetts,.
But in Milwaukee the hide goes with
the head. The council is socialist also,
giving the city full into socialist hands.
That is new.
Pity the poor gentlemen whom the
thought, to say nothing of the fact, Of
socialism suffices to throw into q fit.
About him crumble the foundations of
society. All is lost. 1t will be we'll,
while we are about it, to pity also his
antipodes, the MARKHAM leaping with
Joy at the thought that Milwaukee and
all America have slid to socialism.
The joy of the one is as ill.founded as
the others grief.
The truth seems to be that the cleo
ton is a victory for socialists, not
socialism. The fact that the three
platforms, republican, democratic and
socialist read about alike hints as
much. And why the victory Of social
lists.
That is an interesting story. Most
Of us remember that some half dozen
years ago Milwaukee had u graft scan
dial similar to that now disgracing
Pittsburg. This was a symptom Of
chronic ailment. For a government
Milwaukee had q choice between two
machines. There was the democratic
machine, headed by Mayor Rose
mayor is shortly coming to Lincoln,
by the way, to instruct us in city gov.
ernment-there was a republican
machine of the same make but of diff.
erent label. When one machine be.
came intolerable, the people could put
in the other-shift their burden, as it
were, from one shoulder to the other.
Milwaukee is a German city, and
many Germans are socialists. Long
ago the Milwaukee socialist candidates
began TO get votes from democrats and
republicans, disguised with their re-
spective party machines. At length
these disgust votes were enough to
elect socialist councilman or two.
These socialist officials owed nothing
to machines or interests. Their party
was organized on democratic lines, its
campaign expenses paid by the rank
and file. There's the secret. The
record of these untrammeled officials
was in such happy contrast to that Of
the boss owned statesmen that the
honest people Of Milwaukee have seen
in them the avenue Of public control
Of their city government.
That's all there Is to the socialist"
landslide in Milwaukee. 1t is the
result of the recreancy of the other
parties due to the seductions of bust.
ness interests. Here as everywhere
socialism, the foe of property rights,
thrives in proportion as there are
property wrongs. Will our scared
property owners and politicians ne.er

A GERMAN ARMY OF 4,0o0, 900
READY,

The peace strength OF the herman
army mas risen during the past year to
$4,000 men of all ranks and Ill $50
horses. The number of reservists call.
ed out for training during the year has
risen to 45G, 1913, excluding officers, or
an increase of more than 10000 over
the figures for 1906. The German
plan is to train each soldier twice for
fourteen days while in the reserve and
once for fourteen days while in the
Laudwehr. The number of reservits
recalled during the year for training
has risen of late at the rate Of 10000
a year and will continue to rise until
the plan until is in full operation.
Thus there are and hereafter will be
more than a million men under arms
at one time or another each year.
The year 1907 is the last for which
complete statistics of recruiting have
been published. The recruits examin-
cd numbered 1883, Si5, among whom
there were $4,000 of the age Of 20
who were examined for the first time.
In all 49,, 1873 were incorporated in the
armed forces, including 2l2, 66l in the
active army and 1884 in the navy.
About one.half of the army recruits
were 20 and the remainder II or 81
There were only two one-hundredths of
l per cent of illiterates. Voluntary
engagements numbered 1900 for the
army and 1889 for the navy.
"Germany leads the world in seron-
autics,' says a writer, land the last
year has only confirmed her supremacy
in the air. Her aerial feet consists of
twelve dirigibles, systems Zeppelin.
Parsevel and Gross. while there are
fifteen other dirigibles in private hands
susceptible Of being requisitioned.
The German plan is to act by methods
ofregistration and subsidy; TO prepare,
as for the navy, the establishments and
the means for rapid construction and
to aim in particular at increased speed
SO as to obtain relative independence
of the weather. The successful trial
of the Gross III, which made over 81
miles an hour on her trip on Dec. 81 +,
is case in point.
In many other directions there has
been steady progress in preparing the
army for war. The officers at the war
school have been increased from 400
to $50. A census of motor carriages
has shown that there are Al, 727 of all
classes available for requisition, and
during the maneuvers of last year
great use was made Of them and also
also of motor cyclists, who will p.oba-
bly, be formed into special corps. Mo-
bile field kitchens have given good re-
suits and will soon be in general use
Wireless stations are being erected at
various places. The latest census Of
horses shows that Germany possesses
1915, 900 horses of all sorts, including
100000 four.year-olds and upward.
1T will be with young and highly
trained men, aged from q to q. that
the first great blow will Ike struck in
case of war, and all attention has been
concentrated upon making the first
echelon of the army as perfect as hu
man effort can compass. The record
ofthe last year shows that from almost
every point of view the German army
continues to receive constant Access
sions of material and moral strength"

CARDINAL ON CORPORATIONS.

Says Confidence of Public Is Need
ed for Real Success in business.
From the Journal Of Commerce
Cardinal Gibbons, in a widely quoted
interview, gives simple utterance 10 the
good old commonplace, that the con-
hdence of the people is necessary for the
real success OF any business. and the
surest way to gain this confidence IS 10
deal honestly. tell the absolute truth,
hide nothing and convince the people
that they are getting a square deal
This may be platitude but il contains
the substance OF an everlasting truth
all the same, which needs 10 be con
tinualy rubbed into hardened human
nature. It is a better text for thousands
of sermons than all the dogmas in
Christendom.
The cardinal finds a distressing con-
dition" in the commercial life of to-day
and contrasts it with that OF simpler
times and simpler places where "all
business is honest" at Oberammergau
and in the Tyrol Mountains. for instance.
There, he says, each man trusts his
neighbor and is trusted and nowhere are
here a happier and better people" An.
well; that Arcadian simplicity cannot be
attained in this growing and busting
country, and il may be questioned
whether it really contributes TO the pro-
gress or the elevation of mankind.
Where there is more doing and more to
be got there are greater temptations
and while evil tendencies Of human ma
ture are brought into activity there is
also a stimulus TO those which are good
That honesty and truth are the basis Of
confidence, and confidence is necessary
to the highest success, remains true in
the most complex and active state OF
human society.
Corporations have no souls and can
do nothing of themselves. They are
just machines with which men exert
great power do great things. and bring
great results. and yet the. responsibility
and the credit. or the opprobrium and
the penalty. are apt TO be put upon them
instead of the men with whom their acts
originates. and by whom they are
directed. There is no use in praising
OF condemning or IN rewarding or punish
ing corporations. They do not feel IT,
Responsibility is personal and retribu-
ton must be so. What is needed is 10
set up and exact the same standard or
honesty and truth and integrity OF con-
duct in men who WELD the power of cor
porate organizations as in those who de-
pend upon individual effort and seek per-
sonal ends.
