JEW AND GENTLE.

OF the more than 100000, 900 COM

100000 for the education of immi-
grants and $1S5,OOO for the support Of
eleemosynary institutions in which he
and his wife had been jointly inter

Mr.. Astor was a Christian. Mr..
Strauss a Jew. II would not OF

There are no better organized charities
in the world than Jewish charities.
There is not a Jew in the poOThOuse

no Jews in poverty, but that pride OF

THE PRISON CENSUS.

An advance bulletin recently issued
from the census bureau contains some
facts as 10 the prison population Of
the United States.
Jan. l, 1910. there were 1859 per-
sons In the various prisons, of the
country. During the year the number
OF commitments TO prisons or other
penal institutions was 479.763. These
figures. il is stated, include every class
of offense from vagrancy 10 murder
in the first degree" They also include
those cases where defendants were
sent to Jail in default of the payment
of fines
The ratio Of prisoners to population
Jan. /. 1910, was 125 to 100000, and
the ratio OF commitments during the
year was 522 TO 100000. The number
of commitments. however, does not
represent an equal number OF persons,
since It is a we'll known fact that many
persons go to Jail more than once in
the course of a year Every city, in
fact almost every community, has its
chronic offenders, some Of whom are
behind the bars several times in a -.
month
/ South Dakota has the smallest ratio
of prisoners TO population, As to the
100000 while Nevada had the largest

commitments in proportion 10 popula
ton was smallest in North Carolina
1913 to the 100000. and the largest in
Arizona. 1892 10 the 100000. It should
not be assumed on this account thai
North Carolina is the best state IN the
union from a moral standpoint or thai
Arizona is the worst Laws differ con
siderabiy in different states, and thai
which calls for a jail sentence in one
state may be simply punishable by q
fine in another. Also justice is more
consistently upheld in some states anc
communities than in others.

POLLUTION OF STREAMS.

The time has about arrived when
individuals and communities should
not be allowed 10 pollute and con-
taminate streams by discharging
sewage into them. In the early
stages OF development OF this coun-
try, when there was an abundant
supply OF water from wells and
springs, Il was all right 20 use the
creeks and rivers for the disposal OF
sewage and filth. but times have

A Philadelphia woman, accused OF
being a habitual scold, has been tried
and convicted.
This following so closely upon the
Imprisonment of a woman for circu-

for scolding. All scolds justify them

CAPITAL COMMENT

blooded, or timber Indians in some To-
calities, had become so reduced that
their food consisted largely of rabbits,
roots and bark
The annual gratuity appropriations
of congress for the support of the In
dams are paid out principally in sal
aries to the upwards of 5000 employees
of the Indian bureau, by far the greater
part Of the money appropriated for
this purpose going into the salary
checks of the bureau clerks and Off
GERS, and for the maintenance of the
Offices in which the bureau officials do
their work.
THE UNEQUAL SHOWING.
1t is curious fact, suggested by gov
eminent figures, that as the number
of employees in the Indian bureau have
increased, the Indian population has
diminished. The Indians wealth has
been taken away from them, and the
members of this once prosperous race
have deteriorated mentally, morally
and physically. To state fact brief

sent TO pay a vast army of Indian
bureau employees whose principal work
is to draw their own pay while watch
ing the Indian sink deeper and deeper
into his misery.
Chairman Graham, of the committee
on expenditures in the interior depart
ment who has been investigating the
Indian situation for the past year, has
made a number of important disclos,

Justice Cookies Reelection

gives us some striking political les
sons. In their campaigns Judge Grier
visited each county and called on the
leading republican politicians, mostly
lawyers, while Judge Cooke worked
necessarily DAY and night seeing the
people and arranging TO get his vote
out June 3rd. Judge Grier listened
to the politicians who we're TO deliver
the people" Justice Cooke sought
the people. The result in II counties
speaks for itself
Furthermore, Judge Grier attempted
to cling to one Office while he reached
out for a second. a political blunder
that has beaten thousands of good and
worthy men
Judge Grier was capable and finely
equipped for the Office he sought. He
was by long odds the logical and
strongest candidate in his party. If
he could not defeat Justice Cooke.
then no republican could, using the
same methods pursued by the Grier
managers.
Warren county must not hold a
grudge against Mercer Our people
are ordinary citizens and do not have
horns. Had Mercer given Judge GrieI
her usual republican plurality of SOC
/ or 1000 votes, Justice Cooke would
still have a margin of 1000 votes. In
fact Judge Grier carried the five coun

has had full sway. Husbands have
deserted because Of her. Children have
run away from home. Those members
of the family who remain in iuxtaposi-
ton, usually are spiritless creatures
cowed to the point of endurance.
Why do people scold?
Possibly because its about the easi-
est thing they can do. 1t requires
thought to exercise tact, self-control
to utter the soft answer, sympathy TO
understand anOher's point OF view, and
the exercise of good judgment to be
reasonable
The scold is seldom reasonable.
She tries to gain by the force of her
tongue what she wants, whether it is
for the best or not She doesn't rec
ognize any point of view but her own.
therefore she cannot sympathize with
anybody else, and loudly insists that
her own view is the only right one.
The very fact that she scolds testifes
/ TO her lack of self-control. She scorns
/ the soft answer that would turn away
wrath, just as she scorns to take
/ thought so that her commands and
demands might be uttered in such a
way that those who hear will gladly
do her bidding. Its easier to scold.
| Women are not the only scolds. how
ever. There are masculine -scolds, and
many a household looks forward with
fear and trembling TO the homecom
ing of the man scold.
However, the man scold seldom de
velops from a scolding mother When
a boy has had much scolding at home
as man he becomes an almost sub
servient slave TO peace. The woman
he marries has a husband already
trained for her The man scold is
usually the son OF a doting mother
who has so thoroughly spoiled hin
that nothing is quite good enough FOL
him. His wife always suffers.

lAledo Times Record)

The reelection of Justice Cooke TO
the supreme bench by an overwhelm-
ing plurality approaching 5000 votes
is as astonishing to the students of
political conditions in the fourth dis
triCt as il is conclusive of Justice
Cookies popularity with his constitU-
ents. His victory is so decisive that
there appears to have been no close
contest for the Office as has been pic
tured by an excited republican press
And furthermore. this is a popular
victory and at last the people have
really taken one judicial Office out of
politics in spite of the politicians in
both parties Thousands OF staunch
republicans voted for Justice Cooke
and Hearst democrats supported his
defeated opponent, Judge Grier of
Warren county.
BY turning a hand-tailored republi-
can district wrong side out, Justice
Cooke at once becomes the biggest
man in his party in Illinois and IN
knowingly makes himself a national
character in democracy.
The record of Justice Cookies three
years Of service on the supreme
bench was at no time assailed al

his head. In his favor stood the right
