Make It a Hundred Counties.

Senator Leslie M. Francis, of Spirit
Kossuth county to have the county d.
vided. This would give the state the
even number of 100 counties instead
of SO as now. The petitioners state
that Kossuth county has $50 square
miles and that the present county
seat, Algona, is far remote and mac
cessible to the northern part of the
county The petitioners propose that
the townships, Hebron, Springfield,
Grant, Eagle, Swea, Harrison, Led
yard, Lincoln, German, Ramsey,
Greenwood and Seneca and sections
of sections seven to twelve inclusive
of each of the townships of Fenton,
Burt, Portland and Buffalo, be set
apart as new county.
1t is proposed in the petition that
Swea City be given as the county seat
of such new county until such time
as the seat of government be decided
by the people, and that the new
county be accorded member of the
legislature and representation in
some senatorial district.
To accomplish this division it is ne
cessary for the matter to be brought
before the legislature AS soon as the
division is accomplished, if at all,
hot county seat fight would be precip-
itated among Swea City, Bancroft and
Burt with the possibility of the little
town of Gerled looming up for honors.
Bancroft is more centrally located, but
Gerled has the advantage Of being the
crossing of the Rock Island and
Northwestern with railroads running
in each direction.
Some years ago there was a prop
osition to divide Pottawattamie
county, which is the largest county in
the state and this was compromised
by putting court house at Avoca
where court is held alternately with
the other counties in the judicial dis
trict and where a set Of county books
and officials is maintained The Kos
suth petitioners, however, want an
entirely new county.-Jefferson Bee.

Governor who Trusts Convicts.


In the Interesting People" depart
ment of the January American Maya
zine appears an article about Govern
or Oswald West, of Oregon, who likes
to trust men. He let life term MUIR
derer out of prison long enough to
earn money to pay off mortgage on
his father-in-law's house, the money
having been spent to hire lawyers to
defend him. Following is an extract:
"Out in Oregon there is governor
who believes in men-even though
they have sinned against society and
have been committed to the keeping
of penal institutions of the state. o.
valid West believes in men to such
an extent that sixty-two per cent of
the prisoners serving time in the Or

able number of these are earning an
honest living outside the prison walls

one or two hundred miles away from
the prison, and often in thinly settled
portions of the country where escape
would be comparatively easy. And
yet fewer prisoners try to get away
under this system than in the old days
when the guards stood by armed with
repeating Winchesters.
Zone of Governors Vests first ex-
periences in trusting men was to re-
lease temporarily a murderer serving
a life sentence, simply on his word of
honor, in order that he might earn
sufficient money to pay off the in
debtedness on his father-in-law's home
which had been mortgaged in order
to raise money for his legal defense.

We're unprovided with work of any
kind. Guards with loaded rifles
watched every foot of the prison prop
erty and went with each group Of
prisoners that was sent outside the
walls.
Governor Wilson has changed all
this. He has put every able bodied
man to work. He has removed most
of the guards. Over 200 of the $50
men now under sentence at the state
institution are outside the walls daily
without guard of any kind, trusted to
return at night and honor bound to
do fair days work.
when they betray his trust, as
occasionally happens, he has been
known to lead the posse that under

'trusty,' whom he ran down after a
hard chase, said to him as he took
him into custody, Who are you, the
sheriff. No. replied the executive.
I'm the man to whom you lied.

ALL IS IN READINESS IN
CASE OF POPE'S DEATH

Rome, April 13.-Mgr Francesca RiSgi
whose duty as master project of papel
ceremonies would place him at the head
Of the procession of prelates bearing the
last sacraments to the Pope in case his
death were considered certain, admitted
late tonight that every preparation had
been made in anticipation Of the death of
the Holy Father.
Mgr Riggi said, in part:
II fear very much that despite the
well-known rugged constitution of the
Pontiff he will be unable to recover from
his present malady, which has enfeebled
him to a degree which can hardly be
realized by any except those who have
watched the daily progress of the dis
ease. Pope Plus is brave fighter, both
spiritually and physically, and he is now
fighting for the life that IL so precious
to the Catholic world.
The last time on which I had the
pleasure of an audience with the Holy
Father was on April 5. when 1 cele-
brated the fiftiSh anniversary of my first
mass. l noticed then that the Pope was
extremely weak. now feel that unless
a miracle intervenes, His Holiness will
soon be called to receive the reward of
his long and laborious life wholly de-
voted to the poor and the church"
