EXPLAINS RICH
MAN PARABLE

The Rev. ]. F. Stephenson, Of Wash
ington., lectured on The Rich Man
in He'll, in the Jr o. u. A. NJ. Hall
yesterday afternoon.
The quaint way of putting things,
the easy. colloquial style Of delivery,
the open and above-board manner Of
the speaker and the unusual subject
matter, all combined 10 make the lee
ture very pleasing affair. The
speaker said.
There was a time when the para
bic Of the Rich Man in He'll caused
us TO shudder. We we're perpleXed al
the thought that the great Creator
could be lacking in sympathy. TO say
nothing about justice. How is Il
possible. came the question 20 our
minds, that a God who taught us to
love our enemies and to bless even
those who cursed us should be lack
ing in these qualities Himself"
THE trouble is not that God IS un-
wise or unjust or lacking in sym
pathy, but that we did not under
stand His Word. did not understand
Him. A close study of the Bible
brings us to an appreciation of the
Masters words, o, righteous Father,
the world hath not known Thee Few.
indeed, know the Father. and a still
smaller number understand His plan.
The Scriptures show that our Lord
was speaking in parallels and dark
sayings when addressing the multi
tudes. We must. then. seek to inter-
pret these as parallels; otherwise we
are making the Word of the Lord of
non-effect and adding much to our
own confusion

NEW BRIDGE
TOPUT end TO
LONG DELAYS
Draw So High it Won't Be
Opened TO Let Small Boats
Pass Through
APPROACHES BLOCKED
WHEN BRIDGE IS LIFTED

During the past few days since the
Levy Court awarded the contract for
the new bridge TO cross the Christiana
River at Third street, many inquiries
have been made regarding the bridge.
This bridge is one of the Strauss Trun-
Mon Bascule bridges and is similar to
ones adopted by the United States Gov
ernment, in use in Russia and Denmark
and the B. & o. bridge in South Chi
cago. which, when open reaches the
heighth twice that of the DUPONT Build
ing.
The bridge is to be a double leaf deck
Bascule the movable span being l72
.eet, center to center of main bearings,
and the cost of the bridge will be
$4,000 regardless of the substructure,
which will cost about Ss5,000.
James l. Vincent of New York is the
contractor, the Strauss Bascule Bridge
Company Of Chicago, the patentee. The
bridge is such that it viii open for
small craft, but when the draw is open.
ed it will be a matter of only a few
seconds.
The roadway is 81 feet wide in the
clear and there are two eight foot side
walks for pedestrians. The bridge is
designed TO carry the heaviest highway
and electric railway traffic. The bridge
viii be opened by electric power and both
leaves will be operated by one operator
from one side of the channel When the
bridge is in the open position, both road.
ways are completely blocked, thus max
ing il impossible for cars or automobiles
TO run of into the channel The bridge
will be capable of being opened to fully
open position in As seconds. A large
part Of the traffic which passes through
the draw, such as tug boats, etc, vii
require a partial opening only of the
bridge, thus saving power consumption
and expediting traffic across the bridg
and through the draw. This is one Of
the great advantages of this type ot
bridge oter others.
When the bids were received for thil
i bridge the members of the Levy Courf
and County Engineer Wilson went {,
Chicago and spent several days therl
inspecting the workings of the various
types of bridges.

THE CASE OF HALEY.


"The Case Of Haley" as presented
by Clifford S. Robinson. chairman Of
the board of control, does not agree at
all with the same case ne presented in
sensational newspaper stories Per-
sons who have been reluctant to be-
lieve that Siberian horrors are being
enacted within the walls Of. the Fort
Madison penitentiary will be glad "a
get the new light Judge Robinson
sheds on the case.
Haley is a lifer at Fort Madison
sent up from Dubuque for a cold
blooded murder. Given "trusty' EN-
ployment in the prison library, Judge
Robinson says, "he violated the rules
of the prison and grossly abused the
trust reposed in him. He was re-
moved from the library because his
position there gave him great oppor
tunities for unlawful communication
with persons within and outside the
prison" Offered light employment
elsewhere. Haley refused to work, at
first assigning no reason, but later ex-
planning that he was opposed to con-
tract prison labor. Having refused to
obey prison regulations. the privileges
given for good conduct were with
special facilities for solitary conflne-
n1ent in Fort Madison. Haley is con-
fined in a cell which is duplicate of
400 other cells in the prison. The cell
is small. The sun does not shine into
It, as is the case with 900 other cells.
1t is dry and clean and ventilated
with an electric fan. 1t has an cleo
trio light. 1t Is warm in winter and
cool in summer. The prisoner is let
into the dollhouse daily for exercise.
He is allowed to go to the toilet. He
is given the same food as other pris-
oners. He takes a sponge bath every
day. and keeps in good condition
physically. Shortly after his refusal
to work he was examined by alienists
and declared sane. No effort has been
made to punish him aside from de-
priving him of ordinary prison privi-
leges. He knows that he can get as
good treatment as is given any pris-
oner by merely saying he is willing to
work and obey the rules OF the prison
If there is any torture in his regimen
it is self inflicted.
There have been many expressions
of criticisms Of the prison authorities
for their treatment of Haley. Judge
Robinson asks a question that ought
to be answered. 1t is: What would
the critics do with prisoner who
dehes authority and refuses to obey
the reasonable regulations Of the
PRISON." In the absence of answer
Judge Robinson makes the pertinent
comment that most penologists are
opposed to giving rewards or specis
privileges for the violation of prison
rules"

The way President Wilson brings the
democratic caucus to eat out OF his

worth noticing. Wilson would have
made good as wild beast tanner.

The Old bourbon democracy has its
later counterpart in the republican

over the tariff The only attention il
gains is from the tariff tinkerers and
the press. Other people are too busy
planting corn days and studying au-
tomobile catalogs OF evenings to pay
much attention to it.
