BONDS FOR A COUNTY JAIL.

1t is the duty of the board of county
visitors to inspect from time to tine
the various public buildings and in
stitutions, and for twenty years these
inspections have been made, and the
present county Jail has been uniform
ly condemned. In the last report
made few weeks ago, the condemna-
tion was particularly severe, one mem
ber who had visited Turkey saying
that he saw nothing as bad in that
heather country in penal institutions
as is our own Jail. When the court
house was built it was not intended
to put the Jail in the basement, but
funds ran low and temporary ex-
pedient was arranged by fitting up the
rooms on the north side Of the base
ment. These have only two half win
dows for ventilation, and being below
ground the room is always damp and
unwholesome. This Jail has been con-
demned by former Judge Russell and
the present district judge as unfit for
the confinement of prisoners, and any
taxpayer who can visit this Jail and
then vote against bond issue that
will enable the county to provide a
decent place for prisoners is certainly
lacking in the common impulses of
humanity.
Under date of Sept. 1S, 1912, the
State Board of Charities and Cor
rections wrote to our board of county
commissioners as follows:
"A representative OF this board has
recently made an inspection Of your
county Jail, and from the reports pre-
sented it is evident that the La Plata
county Jail is an unfit place in which
to confine prisoners. AS we advised
you in communication addressed to
you Of date Nov. II, 1910: The room
wherein the cage constituting the Jail
is placed Is not constructed with
view of making it prison. The room
is dark and badly ventilated, and can
be compared only with dungeon Of
the medieval ages The conditions
described above tend to make prison.
ers unruly and have bad effect gen.
orally upon the character Of those
confined therein. The local jails Of
our country are a menace to good
citizenship. They are the training
school of sin, vice and crime, and
are the least scientifically planned and
managed Of all our public institutions.
In view of the above your honorable
board is urged to erect a new and
suitable building without delay. This
structure should be fireproof, provided
with separate cells for each prisoner
and proper quarters for women and
Juveniles. Ample provisions should be
made for light and ventilation and all
required facilities for cleanliness and
sanitation should be installed
A new and modern Jail is crying
necessity, and as the proposed bond
issue will provide one without being
burdensome, we urged the taxpayers
to vote for the issue and remove this
stigma from our fair county. This
will be better and easier than to levy
a heavy tax to raise the entire amount
in one year. VOTE FOR THE
BONDS.

not so much.

COPPER TO BE USED IN RAILS.

Copper has never figured in manu-

it now seems liekly to do so, in
which event there would be a new
demand for more than 100, ,O00, 600
lbs. of the metal per annum. Re
GENTLY the engineers of the New Ha-
ven railroad looked into the history
of about six miles of track that had
far olltlived the ordinary life and
usefulness of the average steel rails,
and is still in good condition. They
found that this six miles of track was
laid with rails imported from Glas-
gov, Scotland Analysis OF the rails
showed that, i'm distinction from the
ordinary type of steel rail, they
contained about IL per cent copper.
Many of the steel companies now
have orders ON their books for the
manufacture of rails containing 1 1a
per cent copper, and an Important
new use for the metal is on the point
of coming into existence.

Germany and Heine.

Lord Haldane in his recent univer
sity address, Great Britain and Ger
many: A Study in Ethnology," had
words OF reproach for Germany con
corning her treatment of Heine. He
pointed out that Germany in the end
of the eighteenth and the beginning OF
the nineteenth century had her Eliza
bethan age, so far as literature and
philosophy were concerned:
How much poorer would the whole
world be but for this period of Ger
man life, in which she for the time
outstripped every other country! Yet
even then she INDUCED in tendencies
which needed correction, and if she
had listened to Heinrich Heine thew
might have been corrected and the
outlook enlarged. And now the re
vanche was in progress, much as
Heine predicted, and, looking at the
German railway bookstalls he could
see that the spirit of Paris was ad.
vancing on Berlin. 1t need not have
been so. and it should not have been
so, and Heine told of a better way
Had his counsel been listened to there
would have been no Nietzsche period
so at least it seemed to a FOREIGNER
