STOLE TEAM AND

HIrod Man Took Advantaao of
Employsr's Absence.

A couple Of weeks ago Dan
Sweeney of Elma hired q man for
the haying season. The fellow
was of the hobo class and answer
ed to the name of Harry" but be-
yond this nothing is known ofhim.
Mr.. Sweeney was called away
from home over Sunday Of this
week and left Harry" in charge
of the place. On his return the
fellow was missing, together with
one of the best teams on the farm,
q suit Of clothes and other belong
ings of his employer. A gun and
some other effects had also been
stolen from the home of Mr.. Han
son, a neighbor.
The fellow was traced to Hank
inson where on Monday he had
cashed a forged order, purport-
ing to be signed by Mr.. Sweeney
on Fred Burrows for $1,000. The
gun and clothes he pawned to ".
X. Baltulis for $500 in cash. He
left town during the afternoon,
since which time no. trace of him
can be found, and he apparently
has made clean getaway.
Chief Of Police Philips and
Sheriff Robbins are working on
the case and hope to land the cul-
prit behind the bars in due time.
He covered up his tracts so thor
oughly as to battle all pursuit so
far, however.
Harry" is described as a heavy
set man about 25 years of age,
smooth shaven, and of more than
average intelligence. The team
were blacks and the buggy a black
body with red wheels and running
gear. After leaving town, the rig
was seen in the vicinity of Light
nings's Nest, but from there all
trace was lost.-Hankinson News.

REPUBLICANS
FOR WILSON
Straw Vote In New York State
oisolosss important
Facts.

New York, August 3,-The
most significant thing about the
National Campaign in its early
stages is the fact that hundreds
Of thousands of Republicans, who
never before voted the Democra-
! tic ticket, have voluntarily writ
ten Governor Wilson and Govern
or Marshall that they intend this
year to vote the Democratic ticket.
Some days ago, when in India
nap0lis. Governor Marshall told
me that since the Convention he
had been deluged with letters of
congratuiation and voluntary
pledges of support, and that more
than twenty-five per cent of his
correspondents stated that they
were Republicans, but they
thought the time had come for a
change in the National admins
tration, and that they intend to
support the ticket nominated at
Baltimore.
The special newspaper articles
published, containing a few ex-
tracts from letters written to
Governor Wilson at Sea Girt,
show that the views Of the cor
respondents Of the candidate for
President duplicate those Of the
candidate for Vice-President, and
that very large proportion of
letters Offering support are from
Republicans.
The correspondence that comes
to Chairman McCombs and the
Democratic Headquarters in New
York is of the same tenor and it
comes from all parts of the
country, showing that the Demo-
cratic candidates appeal both to
popular imagination and to the
popular confidence; and that,
while the Democrats are united
in the support Of the Democratic
ticket, as never before in the life
of the younger men of the party,
and the Independent vote is al
most solid for Wilson and Mar
shall, there is break in the Re-
publican vote, heretofore un-.
known in the history of that
party. In 1896 there was a bolt
in the Republican party of the
Silver Republicans, but that bolt
did not appreciable affect any
state east Of the Mississippi river
and as the result showed was
large enough to change the result
in any state west of the Missis-
sippi, with few exceptions.
This year the Republican party
is split and Republicans will di-

SAYS CRIMINALS
NOT RESPONSIBLE
rs to so Per Cent. Declared
High Grade ImbeCiles.
WISCONSIN CONDITION GIVEN
President Greenman of State Chari-
ties and Correc tions Addresses the
Conference at Observation-Disclosures
to Be Asked to Give Relief,

Madison.-That from 25 to 60 per
institutions are not above the class
of high grade imbeciles, and from
these people spring a great majority
of the criminals of the world, were
two of the significant statements
made here last night by President
Walter F. Greenman of Milwaukee at
the Wisconsin State Conference Of
Charities and Corrections, which is
meeting here in cooperation with
the extension division of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
'"These persons never become ca
pable of self-control, and deeds Of
violence, arson and murder imme-
diately follow upon their release
from custody. The women of this
class are proved to have a fecundity
about double that of normal women.
The progeny of such parents is
tainted with feeblemindedness. So
the stream of the unfit widens daily"
declared President Greenman.
"These people should be segregat-
ed according to sex in colonies of
fifty upon farms,'' continued the
speaker. "They should be committed
on an indeterminate sentence. They
can live happy and harmless lives,
mostly in the open upon such farms.
They would be almost self-supporting
and the expense to the state would
n% ho tHrr0,n ~ hot 80
to pay for court and police charges
with the expense of maintenance of
each delinquent and all his progeny
for several generations, because the
expense never stops with his death
unless he has been prevented from
becoming parent.
1.-THE lack of woman's reforma-
tory constitutes one of the most
wasteful conditions in the state.
There are always from ten to twelve
girls in the state industrial school
at Milwaukee who must be released
on reaching 21 years of age, but who
are manifestly unfit to be returned
to the community at large. For wom-
en- over eighteen years of age we
only have Waupun, the county jails
and houses of correction. OF course,
some of the women committed to
these places may already be hard
ened criminals; but. if a woman is
not already hopeless we condemn her
70 a life of habitual crime by COM
hitting her under the law to exist
Ing institutions. In recognition of
this CHASTITY fact, some judges con-
Tess to their reluctance to commit
and frequently suspend sentence,
turning the delinquent woman back
% her evil environment until she is
again arrested for something worse
so that she may be sent to Wau-
pun"
President Greenman says there is
only one solution for the present ap-
palling state of affairs in reference
% Wisconsin's treatment of her
criminals, delinquents and unfit. He
proposes to have the state legislature
appropriate funds for the mainte-
nance of a board of control which
is to consist of five members hold
ing Office during good behavior. One
member should be an expert on lup-
acy, one on penology, one in char
ity and one in finance, besides one
uamed as president.
