Kansas City. Mo. Nov. II. 1911.
In my hurried letters to the folks
at home, | may not have made clear
my impressions of the country over
which we have passed, but our trip
from western Illinois to this city was
not particularly striking or impres.
sive for its beauty or productiveness.
We left Ashland, Illinois, for Road
house, Illinois, and after an hour and
One-half wait we got our train for this
city. 1t seems that all local trains
fail to connect with through trains
over western railroads at least that
was our experience, but we sure did
enjoy our visits to the friends in Hi
nOis, even if we did have long waits
to get train connections. The towns
along our route in Illinois were all
small, close together and uninterest-
ing, while the country was not so
good as about Wyanet or Boards
town We crossed the Mississippi
River by the bridge at Pleasant Hill. |
Illinois, and Louisiana, Missouri. +.
and it took ten minutes to pass over
it, so you can judge the length of the
bridge by the time it required to
cross over 1t. The water in the Mis-
sissippi River was very low, and on
each side there was exposed from
forty to fifty feet of yellow mud.
The general appearance of the
country changed before we went
many miles into Missouri. From
the car windows the soil looked to
be white and very poor. while the
hills became fewer and fewer. Those
we did see were beautifully adorned
with trees on which the leaves were
turning to the most beautiful colors
imaginable. From this we passed
to a section which was as level as if
it had been graded and rolled with
a huge roller. and we could look over
the field for miles and their greatest
acreage seems to be corn and grass. .
Through this section the houses seem
to be built on a smaller and less
costly scale than in the state of Hi
nois. On most farms we past the
same crops were generally growing !,
as you see in the eastern States, such
as corn, vegetables, grass and cattle. y
The lack of horses and mules in the
fields might have been because of
the lateness of the season, and that
they were in the barns Our route

whose career of crime is a long
one. He has been arrested many
times and has repeatedly
escaped from jails and peniten-
tiaries, always to return to
burglary and highway robbery
as a means of livelihood. Yet
the Idaho board of pardons last
week gave this man his liberty
because it was urged that he
was afflicted with an infectious
malady which it was feared
would spread to other inmates
Of the prison. The laxity OF the
system OF criminal jurisprudence
aid the ease with which crimi-
nails are allowed to escape pun

courts and are directly RESPONSE
bic for the many lynchings that
take place throughout the

knowing that in the majority OF
cases the worst criminals escape
the punishment they deserve, are
sometimes driven. in desperation
to rid their communities Of the

The Idaho pardon board is
coming in for much severe con-
demnatiOn from those who
believe in law and order and the
punishment of criminals. And
the condemnation is in a large
measure deserved. The records
show that since January LIST the
board OF pardoDs has liberated
sixteen criminals found guilty of
crimes ranging all the way from
burglary to murder in the first
degree. All these criminals were
convicted after long, tedious
court processes and great
expense to the various counties
from which they were sentenced,
and most Of them have been
turned loose without good
reason after having served but
a comparatively small part of
the terms to which they were
sentenced, many OF them to
return to their careers of crime

hended and convicted again. An

That Rodgers assumed the entire re
sponsibirty is further shown by q
diary kept by one Of his officers,
which reads, in part, as follows: y
Yesterday, May Is, while beating
down the bay, we spoke to a brig
coming up who informed us that he
saw the British frigate the day before
off the very place where we now are,
but she is not in sight. We have
made the most complete preparations
for battle. Everyone wishes 1t. She
is of exactly our force. Should we
see her / have not the least doubt Of
our engagement. The commodore
(Rodgers) will demand the person
impressed, the demand will doubtless
be refused, and the battle will in
stantly commence. The commodore
has called in the boatswain, gunner,
and carpenter, and informed them
of all the circumstances, and asked
if they were ready for action.
Ready was the reply of EACH
Just why historians treat this es-
sential beginning of our second war
with England so lightly, and accord
it so little space, practically passing
it over as unimportant, is hard to
comprehend Investigation proves 1t
to have been in our country the
cause of a political revolution, and
the Inauguration of an American pro-
tectorate on the oceans, seas, bays,
lakes and rivers of the world. Yet
the victory won by Rodgers is ac-
