PRoBE.D BLANCHARD FIRE.
Fire Marshal Satisfied II Was of In
cpndiarN ORIGIN.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla, Aug. 16.
Especial Assistant State Fire
Marshal j. c. Crawford returned to-
day from Blanchard where he made
an investigation Of the fire there a
few days ago when several houses
in the business district of the town
burned. Evidences that oil had been
used in starting the fire were dis
covered. The fire was first discov-
cred on the outside of the owl cafe,
in which the proprietor and his wife
were sleeping at the time. They Were
in no danger, however, as the fire
had not burned very much before
they were awakened. That the fire
was Of incenUary origin there is no
doubt, but no evidence could be dis
covered that would lead to the person
responsible.
A theory is anything that is easier
to preach than to practice.

GO 10 The IlMl1.

II Governor Clarke has made up his
mind to carry war TO the lowest form
Of vice which exploits humanity fer
profit he should have the legislature
of this state backing him to a man.
The white slave traffic in any Of Its
forms and ramif1cations does not be-
long in this state. There will he
nothing but universal approval of the
most stringent law.
1t is time that the system were
dragging wicked and unfortunate WON
en- to the police courts to pay fines,
collecting the legal graft thus assessed,
and loosing them to go back to their
masters who profit by their abominable
traffic.
1t is time to get the men higher up
To send the profit taker from this vice
to the penitentiary, TO fine the owner
Of real estate leased for immoral pur-
poses out of business, TO seal the build
ing tight with an injunction bond. TO
SEND the patron 10 JAN along Win lle
pander. If the governor is ready to
start something let the legislature take
off its coats and go long with him.
Our laws are fairly com petent to deal
with the evil of white slavery. The
Cosson measure put Iowa on the front
line of advanced legislation in this re-
spect. The lack is largely in enforce
ment. It would be an excellent plan
for the governor and his department of
justice to take up this process and for
further in the way of power that is
needed.

lin stun printed regarding this man
Haley. He managed to get letters OUT
side carrying charges and complaints
against prison officials and these were
made much of by one or two news
papers in the state. There seems to
have been small inclination on the part
of these journals to investigate Haley
and much to reflect upon those who
have charge Of him and his kind. Haley
has been dragged around the state In
print as disguised. prince. a scholar.
a literateur. dying slowly under torture
by cruel prison officers. A week or so
ago the Perry Chief. now edited by
Governor Carrolrs former secretary,
told who Haley Is and gave his Grim
inal history.
Haley seems to be getting in the
prison at Fort Madison precisely what
he plays for. He wants to get out. So
he refuses to work or conform to dis
cipline. Consequently he stays in his
cell. ASSuTdHc6 Is gwen ny Tie ~ hSoA'
officials that he can have all the priv
ileges of other convicts when he earns
them by obeying the prison rules. That
doesn't suit Haley's plan, which is to
pose as martyr. direct attention to
himself, and get out If possible.
Under the circumstances Haley will
stay where he belongs in the solitary
until he gets ready to come out. That
is where he must stay if prison disci-
pine is to be maintained. II he were
an enlisted man at an army post he
would remain under punishment until
he subordinated himself to discipline
And nobody would make mystery OF
fuss over it.
1t would have been well for Governor
Carroll TO have exploded this "mys-
terry" when the facts were first brought
to light. 1t would have been better had
newspapers given more attention tG
searching out the truth than to giving
Haley's charges undue prominence and
assisting his program and the program
OF others who have been heartbroken
ever since certain prison warden was
succeeded by a much better man.

"loWA's MAN OF MYSTERY.

Iowa's man OF mystery" Leonard
Haley, convict in the Fort Madison
penitentiary, turns our a very ordinary
crook about whom there has never
been anything mysterious except the
substitution Of false name for his
true one. He is merely a convict, who
took the course from a reform school
on thru a three-year term in a peni-
tentiarq up to the emeritus degree In
crime, murder, and graduated into the
penitentiary under a life sentence. His
name is Hardy, he was a tough boy in
the tough town of Rock Island, and
went the way of tough boys. The
"mystery' was made by reporters look
ing for sensational story, assisted by
some strong lying on the part of the
convict himself. When Governor Car
roll set out to investigate the mystery
it turned out an easy one to solve. II
was not mystery at all but the COM
mon story of yegg and criminal who
began early to defy the law and ended
by killing policeman in order TO make
q getaway.

woMEN's WAGES AND MORALS.

Much astonishing evidence has been
given before committees and commits
sions by representatives Of large in
terests under inquiry Or investigation;
but none has been more astonishing
than the repeated assertion Of large
recruitment store managers and owners
that the amount Of pay received by
girls and women in their employ has
no effect or influence on the lives Of
these women as concerns the morality
unite, with most suspicious unanimity,
in declaring that low wages are in
nowise responsible for prostitution or
semi prostitution among women en-
nloyed by them. One millionaire whose
name runs in headlines as a philan
thropist, who offers millions to be
spent building up agriculture in Iowa
on the farms where poverty is a
stranger, comedies that beggarly
wage and the desperation of unpaid
room rent, Jagged clothing and meals
in any way provocative TO that lax
morality which sells itself for inme-
diate necessities or to satisfy the COM
mon craving for iuxuries which it sees
others enjoy.
All this testimony is untrue. Every
one who knows humanity and who has
had opportunities OF observation.
knows il is untrue. An expression Of
opinion can never be perjury in the le-
gal sense but it can be and is false
and this unaninlity Of assertion is false.
If ordinarily good women marry de-
liberately against their feelings TO Sc
cure comforts and luxuries as they do,
if ordinarily honest men driven 9es-
perate under the stress OF competition
and business difficulty, turn as they

Special Assessment Road Districts
To the Iowa Legisla ture:

To the Iowa Legislatures:
When you have written into the road
law of Iowa state aid fund and
authority for bond issues by the county
or state you will have supplied only a
part Of the essentials which have pro-
duced hard surfaced roads in other
states. Perhaps the most needed step
Of all is the special assessment road
Improvement district 1t is now in the
Iowa statute but imperfect in form
and imperative because it requires
one-half of the whole cost of perma-
nent road to be assessed to the property
Of special district in a single year.
Amplify it until we can use 1t as we
use the special drainage district in
Iowa. Limit the special benefit assess
ment to one-third the total cost and
then distribute that in easy payments
over the time in which the improve
ment Will last. the county borrowing
the money in the first place and retiring
both principal and interest for the
benefited property's onethird from
special assessments within the district
improved by the roads built.
nearby property from road or street
Improvement are apparent and have
been established in the courts. Street
paving in Iowa is charged UP to ad-
jacent property according to the special
benefit to the property and custom has
charged the whole Bill to the property.
In Oklahoma cities the lots on a paved
street pay some Of the cost while those
in the same block altho eff the paved
street pay small special benefit also
In Indiana the cost OF hard surfaced
road is assessed 10 the lands lying vita
in two miles Of it. In Utah the cos,
is apportioned to all of the property
within a special district distributed BY
zones. so per cent to the nearest zone
90 per cent To the next nearest zone anC
90 per cent to the farthest zone.
A farm today if it could advertise q
graveled or paved road from It's from,
gate to the town. would Immediately
jump from $50 to $50 per acre in value
Increased value Of SIS per acre at per
cent interest would cover the an
nual road tax of the most expensive
road that has ever been proposed for
a rural highway. Thus the farms on an
improved road and nearby should pay
a special assessment according to their
benefits as determined by the board OF
supervisors: more for the farm abut
ting the road and less for the farms
back Of It but within two miles Of the
road If the special benefit rule Is no,
