WHAT Is THE TRUTH?


Two weeks ago one OF the boys In
the reform school at Eldora escaped
and. after travelling all night long with
the thermometer around zero. was
caught by the local officers. When
captured the youngster had some badly
frozen feet and frost bitten hands and
it was necessary to place him under
the care OF physician. While he was
being cared for the young man made
one statement that ID deserving OF the
utmost examination. He stated in the
presence OF the local officers that his
punishment FOR running away would be
to stand for thirty days, twelve hours
each day, with his hands above his
head. AS he told what his punishment
would be he illustrated with his hands
the position in which he would stand
and this position indicated his hands
would be tied above his head. The edi-
tor has been informed that other boys
who have escaped have told that a
part Of this standing punishment is TO
be tied up by the thumbs.
We are not in a position to know
the truth OF the boys statement. or
of the other charges that the boys iii
the Eldora reformatory are punished
by standing them up for long weary
hours, their hands held above their
heads by tied thumbs, but we do know
that the charges should be investigated
thoroughly, either by the state board
having such matters in charge, or by a
committee from the legislature. The
boys in the Eldora institution are sent
there for reformation and not as SUBJ
jects for physical torture when some
rule is broken or when one OF them
tries TO escape. and it is time the peo-
pie Of Iowa know what is being ac-
com plshed there.
The charge against the institution
may be false and an invention pure
and simple of the runaway boy. II so
let the truth be found out. On the 9TH
er hand, the several stories referred IL
above may be the truth and, If SO, lie,
! that be known also. Iowa can not af-
ford practices at her boys reformatory
| that involve physical torture. neither
can the state gain anything by allow
ing these charges to become circulated
without any attempt made to find out
the real truth.
An Investigation should be made and
it should be thorough. No mere state
ment OF the superintendent snOufo pass
at par The truth of the situation re-
, CARELESS Of whom, or where. it strikes
is what Is desired. II that can't be had
then none at ALL for better no examina-
ton than a halfway one. II the boys
| have told the truth. the matter will
| come to a head sooner or later and
| the investigation will then be impera-
! tive; II they have lied about the situa-
| ton that fact may slowly bscome d
matter Of knowledge but It leaves the
Eldora institution working under O
suspicion.

There was a profiigate young man
who came to Hum boIdt some time ago.

form that prey on the young and un-
sophisticated in every comm unity This

good dresser. spent money freely,
talked big ttU boy) and looked some
thing like man of the world. Really
he was a paroIed convict. He was the
fat!;c: ot q snn came from good
family and was disgrace to his rails
ing. Not that he was criminal. He
was only weak. And SO he sought the
company OF boys He hadn't the nerve
to meet a man. He was spender
with the boys. And before he was
known for what he really was he had
done considerable damage. Such men
always do Give human being the
body of a man and the mind Of a child
and he will work more havoc in com
munity where he is unknown, than a
regiment OF ministers can remedy in a

A DRY WHITE HOUSE.
IEancac CITY Times

II President Wilson doesn't wish to
serve wine at the White House for the
next four years. he has perfect right
not to. But further than that. isn't 1t
pretty wholesome sort of thing for
the country to have that sort Of
standard set by the president Of the
United States?
The wise father of today. vino may
drink himself, would prefer that his
son shouldn't get the habit. The athlete
in training doesn't drink. The big bus
mess concern prefers that its employees
be not drinking men. The man who
desires the best things for his boy
knows that liquor won't do the boy any
good. 1t may do him a lot OF harm. So
what's the use Of his taking chances?
II first class fighting man like Pres
ident Wilson should bar liquor from his
table, his action would have a wide in
f,ucnce for good on young men all over
the United States.

TO show the warden and HE s1UFnksys
that he Is greater than they are. Why
uphold the convict rattle. than the
warden, when all the convict has to do
is to accept to obey the prison rules to
be- released from his solitary, while
the warden would have to make an
exception Of Haley. to release him
from such confinement, and thereby
destroy the discipline Of his whole
prison.
The state of Iowa has no desire, we
take 1t. to keep any man in solitary,
but what is 1t going to do with a fell
low who, when sent to prison, informs
the warden that he will not obey the
rules Of the prison, rules that all the
others gladly obey, for the rules are
not harsh and not unjust and the war
den at Fort Madison has been more
blamed for his leniency than Tor his
harshness. why picture this warden as
a brute Tailor and the convict who Se-
fuses to work and to obey the rules as
q hero? Is that sort Of a policy good
for either the state or for the con-
victs? How long il prison discipline
going to last in Iowa, II convicts can
set up their own government and be
defended by the press Of the state?
The horrors of the solitary are
graphically pictured by the Des
Moines paper-and then it forgets to
state that no convict who wants to
behave needs to stay in a solitary for
a moment.
The same paper thinks that II the

Haley he might have grown into
something good. Well. perhaps, but
the record is against this man. whose
name is not Haley at all. He has spent
his whole life defying authority. as he
is now defying II in states prison.
While he was in his teens he was
sent to reformatory at Pontiac. Ill.
He went to Lincoln and was sent to
states prison there. Then he went to
Sioux City. and was in Jail. Then he
went TO Dubuque and shot two police
men, for which he is now serving q
life sentence. It's a career OF crime
from first to last. The same spirit that
made him shoot two policemen is now
|animating him in defying the warden
at Fort Madison and all established
authority.
And this man is made newspaper
hero. while the warden at Fort Madi-
son is pictured as demon, worse than
ever disgraced Russia. Is it fair? Is
1t for the best discipline in prisons? Is
it even decent? Instead of telling the
warden that he is a black hearted ras-
cal, why does not the Des Moines
editor write a letter to Convict Haley
admonishing him to obey the laws Of
the prison, instead of defying them?
III Haley's newspaper friends would
take that position. Haley would come
down and out, but he won't as long as
they make a hero of him in his soil.

A JOINING OF HANDS?

church at Des Moines has publicly en-
dorsed the Shankland bill to substi-
tute the secret ballot for the consent

right to operate saloons in Iowa. Some
unknown agency is offering to supply
county newspapers with three col
umns of his sermon in plate matter
free of cost. The same unknown
agency is flooding the newspaper OF
