CRIMINAL CASES Fighting for Privileges and Liberty of Men and Wom-
 en Convicts

Canon City, Colo, March A. Prom statistics we find that. of the $50 criminal cases taken to the Su- preme Court of this State, over sixty per cent. have been reversed. Now comes the que. ton: How many men caught in the tolls of the law can ever hope to bring their cases to the high est court in the State? And it Is not reasonable to assume that. were the Supreme Court to rule on all the criminal cases-had these men the money tc provide for it-only fifty Der cent. of our present prison popu. lation would be here today"
 In these words. Thomas J. Tynan warden of the Colorado penitentiary here, whose humane methods Of handling the convict9 committed to his care, have brought forth the praises of the sociologists throughout the country, in an interview with the United Press today summed up the reasons why he is fighting for the privilege and liberties of the men and women cOnvlctS.
 For several years Tynan has been an advocate of the theory that pris- ons and reformatorie=, should not he mere places of confinement but should convert convicts into useful men and women. with an object in life and

HE LETTER OF JU E 27

MT. Roosevelt's belief that he ought fo be a candidate for the presidential nomination on the Republican ticket seems to have been acquired within a comparatively short time. letter made public this morning, which was written June 27, 1911, the authenticity of which is admitted by the colonel, shows him expressing himself as follows:
 I have expressed myself perfectly freely to a large number of men in this matter, always to the same effect, telling you, for instance, personally, and those who were with you at lunch at my house, and tel ing Clifford Pin chot. Jim Garfield, and Congressman Madison, and Billy Loeb and Secre- tary Meyer and Secretary Stimson all alike, just exactly what l have said always, that I would not be a candi- date in 1912 myself, and that l had no intention of taking any part In the nomination for or against any candidate. Sincerely yours
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-03-04

There is no law against a man changing his mind about running for office, but in this case there are con- ditions. MT. Roosevelt has been president for two terms. He has said that under no circumstances would he accept a nomination for third term. He explains that he meant by third term, merely that he would not serve three terms in success don. But tho letter of June 27 indicates that ne probably then believed his original promise binding, and that he ought not to violate the traditions of the nation by accepting a third term un- der any conditions whatever. Does the letter not give force also to the belief that Roosevelt agreed to assist .he candidacy of Senator LaFollette, or at least to keep hands off?

ROBERT EMNfET.

Congressman Hamill's oration on Emmet. last night, given under the auspices of the Robert Emmet club was a fine contribution to the litera- ture of the heroic Ilishman, who fought a noble, but impossible coa- test for the freedom or his country. Tn the annals of the United States there is but one man comparable with Emmet, in the nobleness of his hope and the likeness of his deeds. The raid of John Brown upon Harper's s Ferry was a raid in force. It was an attempt to overthrow with arms the restitution of chattel slavery. It ail- ed as Emmet's attempt failed. Brown perished upon the gallow9, even as Erninet perished. But his fame be- came iTnperishable in his country as E:nrnot's did The memory of both win exist in the hearts of men as ccnspieuous examples of manhood in its noblcst aspects.

CORRUPTION AND GR FIT vs. MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

ment, at a minimum of cost, he or i she has at least the choice of an em- ployer, and this has a tendency to equalize. conditions, for it puts a premium on good and a discount on harsh employers; the one has the pick of the labor market; the other must operate with what is left.
 Before the British cities tried mu- nicipal ownership there was a care fully adjusted system of regulation" ," but the interests of the community and of the stockholders were con- tinually at war with each other, un- til finally in f-defense parliament gave cities the right to own and op- crate their own utilities. Glasgow was the first municipality. in 1894, to take charge of it's transportation. The private company, running street cars, was unable to obtain a new fran chise, and it's revenge the company refused to sell it's equipment, com polling the city to purchase its horses and cars elsewhere. The result was q total loss to the private company. while the success of the city was inn mediate. The city reduced fares 3S per cent. heightened the hauls, in creased wages, and otherwise improv- ed /the condition of the employees, and | it has since the installation of its ser vice turned into. the public treasury hundreds of thousands of dollars for the reduction of general taxation. while extending lines and taking care of it's indebtedness. While economic conditions are diff ferent in Europe and America, tlie things that tend to righteousness and civic pride are the same everywhere. When private companies own the streets and do the upblic business
 for profit, there is a conflict over
 rates and service, and there Is con-
 tinually a tendency to bribe city of
 ficials in order to obtain greater privileges at the expense of the com
 munity. Lincoln once said that "a
 nation cannot be half slave and half
 free" and neither can a city be half
 privileged and half free. A city can
 only rule itself for the good of all
 through the ownership of the things
 that lie at the very heart of the com
 munity's we'll being''
 Thus municipal ownership is mor-
 al question. Common ownership de-
 stroys those things that tend to cor
 rupt the officials and citizens gener- i ally There is no longer a powerful
 interest in the community seeking
 private gain at public expense. Peo- pie no longer will plot for corrupt
 government, for the line of least re-
 sistance is in the direction of good
 government.
 1 Municipal ownership strikes at the
 sources of corruption. but municipal
 regulation of municipal monopoli.,s
 is the endeavor to sure a disease DIV
 plasters and palliatives. Municipal
 ownership does not change human na-
 ture; it changes the conditions under which human nature manifests itself
 It makes political purity instead of
 political corruption catching.
 | People cannot be made good by
 law. but they can be given an oppor-
 tunity to exercise their good tenden-
 cies by reducing the opportunity to
 cultivate evil ones
