Monroe City Democrat., 1913-08-07

Instead of letting prisoners in the
county Jail simply lay out their
fine or Imprisonment in a cell, sur
rounded by their own filth and un-
cleanliness, the county court of
Jackson county has emptied the
two county jails of the county the
one at Kansas City and the other
at Independence-of all able bodied
prisoners through the remainder of
the summer and they have been put
to work building ard repairing the
county highways. The county court
of that county decided to give the
men ia their jails a better chance
for moral and physical regeneration.
They are sent to work practically
without guards and on an honor
system of good behavior. 1t is the
same system that western Gov
ernor has tried successfully with the
inmates of the penitentiary. That
violators of the law should be
brought before the tribunal of JUS
tice and there fined or sent to the
county Jail for a certain number of
days to lay around in idleness is. if
viewed from either a moral or busi-
ness standpoint, an injustice to the
moral and business tact of those in
charge of the business of this coun-
ty. A conviction in such case
only adds to the criminal expense
of the county. The county court of
this county should 90 through our
jails and see the able bodied men
there who might be out on our
public highways doing the work
that our road taxes are insufficient
to do We should utilize their
labor. The work they would be
able to do during the summer and
fall would make many miles of
roads passable and build many cul-
verts that are now neglected. The
county highway engineer should be
given charge of this work. Such a
system of road making would be
to the interest of both the county
and its prisoners. Idleness never
tended to reform a law breaker.
They should be put to work and it
is up to our county court to take the
initiative in this matter. Sheriff
Sapp told us this morning that
there was an average of ten men in
the county Jail at all times able to
60 out and do a days work on the
roads.-Columbia Statesman.

Stock Market Weak
According to Clews

NEW YORK Oct. 27.-The advance
which began a week ago was too rapid
to last, and ended by bringing on a
fresh selling movement There is no
denying the fact that financial senti-
ment is more or less depressed, and
that impartial analysis of the situation
shows very plausible reasons for this
state of feeling
The credit situation the world over
is unsatisfactory. After several years
of intense activity in England. Ger
many, France, India, China, Japan.
Canada, etc. there are multiplying
signs OF contraction and trade re-
action. The weakest links in the
chain are the first to give way. Brazil
and India being the latest points to
exhibit indications of unsOundness.
The panic at Bombay. though not ser
iOus. arrested attention as a general
symptom. The financial strain in Eur
Ope has of course been intensified by
the Balkan war and militarism. No
collapse happened. because of the
steady restraint on credit imposed by
European banks. The great financial
institutions of Europe, however. are
still bent upon strengthening their re
sources, and financial prospects on the
other side are anything but SatiSfac-
tory. There is still an enormous pres
sure of new capital issues, sufficient
in fact to have forced London bankers
into a concerted movement for with
holding the same until more faVOra BILE
opportunities. At home the money sit
uation while improving is far from
comfortable the restriction of credit
provoking a good deal of complaint in
commercial circles. Had it not been
for the timely aid offered by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury we might even
now be facing a financial crisis, which
happily has since disappeared

The New Philanthropy.

The late Ben amin Altman, founder of B.
Altman and Co., New York's famous dry goods
firm, left about $4OOOO,OOO to his employees,
gave a s15OOO,OOO art exhibit to the Metropoli-
tan museum, but left to his relatives and heirs
only 100000.
The author of this extraordinary will was a
bachelor living in seclusion with very small
circle of friends and dividing his time between
his business and his wonderful private art mu-
scum.
This latter contained number of the world S
greatest paintings, some of which said to
have cost the connoisseur million apiece. Chief
among them five more Rembrandts.

SAMMY JAY FEELS SORRY.

mind. Yes, sir, Sammy Jay had
something on his mind. He was feel
ing sorry, 1t was a queer feeling for
Sammy Jay. lie couldn't remember
ever having had it before. He tried
to think that he hadn't got. it now, but
it was of u use. He couldn't fool
himself. For once in his life he really
was sorry for something he had
done.
You see Sammy had just ON UP
past the great hollow tree where Unc'
BILLY Postum had made his home.
Unc' Billy wasn't there. He hadn't
been there for a number Of days. Old
Mrs. Postum looked worried. She
was sure that something had happen
ed to Unc' Billy. She told Sammy jay
how Unc' Billy had gone up to Farm
er Browns to try to find out what had
become of Johnny Chuck's baby whom
Farmer Browns boy had carried
away. Now as Sammy Jay sat in
of the old apple trees in the old or
chard. he could see Johnny Chuck
sitting on his doorstep and looking
and looking in the direction of Farm
err Browns house toward which his
baby Chuck had been carried. He
just sat and looked and looked and
looked and hardly noticed Polly
Chuck or the two little Chucks vino
hadn't been caught.
Try as he would Sammy Jay could
not keep Johnny Chuck and Unc' Bill
ly Postum out Of his mind. He knew
that if it hadn't been for him Farmer
