LONDON, June 29.-The first
break in the great seamen's strike
came today in Glasgow when the
Anchor, Allen, Cunard and South
ern Pacific lines conceded in full
the recognition of the union and
increases in pay for which the
men went out.
That something must be done to
end the struggle at once is the
view of Premier Asquith. who is
bringing all the power of his posi-
ton into play to bring about a set
Element. Enormous quantities of
foodstuffs are needed in Britain
at once.
LONDON, June 29.-Through
paralysis of its import trade by
the widespread seamen's strike,
England today is having taste
of what a war might mean. AS

At Liverpool today the Red Star
liner Zealand landed her passen-
gers only after a delay of hours
during which she lay in mid
stream of the Mersey, unable to
obtain tugs to take her to the
dock. All the lightships at the
mouth of the Mersey are desert
ed, their crews having struck, and
unless they are manned before
night there will be the gravest
danger to incoming vessels.

IN the wilderness the prisoners in "the
jail in our town" still sit in idleness,
eat in idleness, learn idleness, culti-
vate idleness of the wrong sort.
Mr.. Bowen says that ''the gigantic
curse is idleness" His article is a
composite of the county iails of I'LL
nois. When one reads his article he
reads about the Jail in Rock Island
county, and the Jail in nearly every
county in the state, except that il
some respects our JAIL is better, and
in other respects far worse. than the
composite jail pictured by the charity
worker. The following are extracts
from Mr. Bowen's article:
The gigantic curse of the jail sys-
TEN is idleness. Less than five coun-
ties have built warehouses. In all the
rest the Jail prisoner is unemployed.
He PAGES up and down the corridor, he
eats his meals, he sleeps; he is not
even permitted the life of an animal
1T does not serve the public welfare
TO imprison a man for the commission
of some petty offense, thereby denying
him the opportunity TO employ himself
TO his own support and that of his
family. To maintain a man in indei-
nate idleness at the public expense as
a means of Furnishing him for small
infraction of the laws, certainly does
not commend itself as an economic
measure, and happily does not longer
reflect modern thought on the subject
of treatment of prisoners, even though
il may still be in practice.
eff 1t is such an absurdity from the
standpoint of the public to maintain
these men in idleness and all its vic
iousness, it is a crime, sanctioned by
the public, TO permit them to live such
life. For the sake of the men them
selves, their welfare, physical and NOR
al, they should be employed.
More than this, there should be reg
ular religious services in every Jail
throughout the state. There should be
wholesome reading matter for prison
ers. The county authorities should
provide a portion of it and the public
voluntary organizations and the
churches should furnish the rest.
NO words that 1 might write can
adequately portray the viciousness and

and proves 10 be a terrific indictment
/ against the Jail system of the common
+ wealth.
/ Illinois jail system IS disgrace to
our civilization. II smells to heaven
with its malevolent evils and foul
sins" writes Mr.. Bowen.
; His article is a forceful. lurid picture
. of Jail conditions that are reported 10
exist IN numerous counties in the
state. One reads of horrors described
by Mr. Bowen and then rubs his eyes
and wonders If this Is actually an en-
l!ghtened Goth century.
He shows that during the last 40
years there has been practically no i'm
. provement in jail conditions in Illinois.
He points out that the mhumane prac-
tees protected by the present Jail law
are going on constantly under the very
nCscs Of church-goins people and law
abiding citizens and-between his lines
enc can read a singing Indictment
against the people of Illinois.
The Bowen article is builded on facts
gathered by the state charities COM
mission, and the startling nature Of
these facts causes the reader also TO
place the charge Of inertia against the
people of the commonwealth and to
wonder when citizens will awake and
cure-not Observation-Disclosures of the
law.
Above all the facts set forth by Mr..
Bowen, this particular one stands out:
Idleness is a curse TO the prisoner be-
hind the bar just the same as TO the
law-abiding citizen The writer shows
that it is the idle moment that breeds
crime that puts the prop under evil.
that gives the prisoner time to brood
OF things that are opposite of all that
makes for good and the upholding of
the republic.
Mr.. Bowen asserts that idleness is
one of the principal products of Illinois
jails. He blames the system" for the
fact that no means Of employment are
provided for the prisoners, but il is not
hard 10 read between his lines and find
that in the final analysis, the men OF
this great commonwealth are held re-
sponsible for the system.
Is there a citizen in Rock Island
county who does not know that our

blacklist II the Office of the charities
commission? For there is hardly
citizen but has read in the local press

there, and how they are herded up to-
gether like so many odds and ends of
humanity. And everybody knows that
some of the men in there, and some Of
the women in there, if given the right
sort of treatment. would finally form a
part Of the bulward that stands be-

only relief in the monotony being the
voice, every once in so often of some
one crying in the wilderness"

Kewanee. July 21.-Western Illinois
is interested in a drainage proposition
of unusual magnitude that will reclaim
for practical farming many thousands
of acres, most OF which lie in Hender-
son county. The greater part of the
immense district is between Gladstone
and Carman. The district lies south Of
the Burlington road and extends from
the Mississippi back for a number of
miles. The average cost of the New
Boston drainage district project, north
of this Henderson county enterprise
was about $13 an acre. 1t is predicted
the cost of the new project win be
slightly more, as the levee along the
river will have TO be built higher.
