Des Moines. May 4.-Tom Gross,
hero. will probably soon leave the Iowa
state reformatory a free man. He will
be able to make answer to query, does
it pay to be a hero? He will get his
reward.
Gross has served three and half
years Of fifteen year term in the re-
formatory. He has a fine record and
had applied some time ago for a pa
role. He is likely to get more than
parole.
That which won for him the favor of
those who do things occurred one
evening in the light and power plant of
the institution. There are two big en-
gines in the engine room. One of them
was in use, and was running at high
speed. Suddenly and without known
cause the piston rod broke. The broken
portion whirled around into the fly
wheel, which altho going at the speed
of 250 revolutions per minute was in
stantly stopped. Now every engineer
will understand the danger in such
situation. The wheel was not broken;
just stopped. The steam was on full
head and high pressure. It was almost
a miracle that the steam chest or some
other vulnerable spot should not have
blown up instantly.
Workmsn All Fled.
The workmen in the room, all in
mates of the institution, realized the
danger and they fled precipitately.
While they were hiding as best they
could and momentarily expecting the
1>Io nd 70
end their terms of incarceration, Tom
Gross saved the day.
Gross was working in the boiler
room just a few steps down and OF
from the engine room. He is an old
engineer and perfectly familiar with
the danger OF steam when brought to
head. He felt instinctively that the
entire plant of most valuable machin-
cry was in danger, and he rushed up
the steps and into the room and in the
face of the greatest danger he turned
off the steam from the disabled engine.
II so happened that the parole board
was in the institution at the time in
terviewing prisoners. The next morn
ing they sent for Gross and had him
tell what he did and why. He was
very modest about it. He did not think
he was doing anything more than his
duty. He didn't think about the dan
ger to himself-only he thought Of that
valuable machinery and how important
it was to shut of the steam and doFft
quickly He did not ask or expect any
credit for doing such simple little
thing.
! But the parole board instead Of rec
ommending parole will recommend tC
the governor that Tom Gross. hero. be
given full pardon. 1t pays to be
| hero.

The three-cent mile fare has been
restored in Minnesota, yet if you are
rich enough you may purchase 1000
mile ticket for IL cents mile, or a
2O00-mile tocket at cents mile.
Therefore, the rich, who are best able
to pay the price, can ride on the cars
for one-third less money than people
in less fortunate circumstances. This
discrimination against the poorer
classes is an outrage pure and simple
and we doubt if there is a court in
the land that will uphold the injustice.
