7. R. BACKS up TAFT
In His Effort to Secure a Commission
for Industrial Investigation.

New York. Feb. 16.-Theodore Roose-
velt has an editorial in the current
issue of the Outlook on "A Phase Of
Industrial Justice"
After des ;riblng a visit to a model
factory and dwelling on certain phases
of the relations between employer and
employee Mr.. Roosevelt says:
'rhe president in a recent message
has recommended the creation by con-
gress of a commission to look into in
dustr1al conditions in this country. 1t
is earnestly to be hoped that Repub-
iicans and Democrats, wise progressives
and wise conservatives will back up this
action. Such a commission could not
but do good.
IF properly made up it would ap-
pro. ch th,- n after of Industrial rela-
tions without prejudice as between en-
ployers' associations and labor unions.
1t would look at the matter from the
point of view of the public interest
with concern to work for the prevention
Of upne cessary labor disputes. and for
settling these that do arise on d just
and permanent basis
Surely there is now a widespread
and deep public interest in this vital
subject and in an earnest desire to
know whether our existing mechan-
ism for preventing and settling labor
disputes and for helping the cause of
social justice as regards both employer
and wage worker cannot he improved.
Undoubtedly the remedy must IN
large part be found in the action of
the several states rather than in the
federal government and undoubtedly it
must also in large part be found in
voluntary arrangement between en-
ployers and employees and in a higher
general recognition { f the need of JUS
lice and fair dealing. But only an in
ouiry by the federal government can
be really authoritative and satisfactory
and can really cover al the different
sides of the matter and throw full
light on all the puzzling battling COM
plicafed and vitality important questions

ka, Thursday, then turned the gun on
himself and blew off the top Of his
head The bodies were found at .
o'clock in the evening, nearly 10 hours
after the double killing.
For two years Rickels had pursued
the 14-year-old country girl-the result
evidently of an insane infatuation or
a perverted mind. Thursday morning
he laid in wait for his stepdaughter
while she was on her way TO school and
at the point of shotgun is supposed
to have forced her to the ravine where
he shot her to death. Within a few
feet of the place where the bodies were
found. .ay the girls dinner pail, her
stocking cap, c"at and mittens. In her
hand she held a tiny handkerchief. On
the ground at her side lay strips Of
cloth. probably tern from her under
skirts. torn bits of her garters and q
broken comb.
The murder of the .Toung girl oc-
Cured perhaps a few minutes after she
met Miss Grace Wallace, teacher in the
Sunbeam school district. The two girls
passed on the highway, 100 yards from
the scene of the tragedy. Rickels was
probably hiding in the lonely ravine at
the time. He had started with tie
girls younger halfbrother to school.
but left him at a culvert, near the
scene of the murder, saying he was
going hunting. There I:ickels hid until
his stepdaugnter appeared.
After Miss wallace passed down the
road toward her school, Rickels is
supposed to have appeared With
loaded shot gun in his hands, he
forced the girl across the alfalfa field
and to a deep place in the raVlne 10
wards away Here the two bodies were
found. ickels lying across the legs OF
the murdered step daughter. A quar-
ter of a mile to the north is the Rick
els home, while a quarter of mile
to the west was the FairView school,
which Clara Stickney had attended
every day since the family moved to

once Rickels threatened to kill her,
but neighbor appeared and the bru-
tai stepfather postponed the execution
of his threat On another occasion
RfckIes forced the girl to his room,
bu+ her brother interfered and pre-
vented the execution OF the man
threat Only the night before the kill
ing he renewed his efforts and Clara
ran screaming to her mother s bedside
for protection
This was the conditio nof affairs in
tho T7icl1els home when Clara started

nefore 8 O'Clock, the suepfather started
to school with the girls younger
brother. A few minutes after 8, the
Young girl took her dinner pail and
started down the road toward the
F,airvfew. school, nearly a mile away.
Across an alfalfa field. west of the
Rickels home, runs deep ravine. It
extends from a point east of the home
and runs diagonal1y southwest until it
crosses the road nearly midway be-
tween the school house and the home.
There are no houses between the
Rickels home and the school and the

crime. His early start with the boy
