SUBSCRIPTION:

The attention Of tue taxpayers
of the county is again called to
the condition Of the county Jail at
this place. During the past week
the prisoners confined in the Jail
have about succeeded in making
a complete wreck Of the cd hull
and if the dog-couplings and
shackle5 which adorn the wris S
and legs of the inmates are loos-
ened the county court will be
forced to Go what should have
been done long ago build a new
jail.
When Allen made his first at
tempt to escape from jail, a com
mittee was appointed to consult
with jail builders and find out the
cost of putting steel cages in the
old cells. We are unable to find
any report Of the committee re-
corded, but we understand from
an unauthoratative source that a
construction company offered to
put in the cages for seven hun
dred dollars. IF this be true the
county court can make no better
investment than to see that the
Jail is repaired. During the past
year more than one hundred dol
lars has been spent on repairing
the Jail and Transporting prison
erS to and from the Wood county
jail where it was necessary to
confine the prisoners on account
of the unsafe condition Of the
Jail at this place. From a merce-
nary point Of view the invest
ment would lie an excellent one,
for the amount spent in repairing
the old Jail will soon equal the
cost Of new one. From a hu
name point Of view the invest
nent wou!d be better, for the
sight Of prisoners chained by the
ankle to the wall and with wrists
chained together, is q spectacle
which an inhabitant of civilized
country cannot view with pride.
By ell means let us have the
Jail made up-to date, so that the
practices Of dungeon-keepers Of
the Middle Ages will not have
TO be followed by a twentieth
century turnkey.

The presence Of a small epidem
ic of diptheria in this vicinity and
the closing Of tie local schools
again bring to mind violation Of
the law to which the Chronicle
has heretofore called attention.
Chapter 81 Of the Acts Of the
Legislature Of 1911 makes man
datory upon the Boards of Edu-
cation in all independent school
districts the appointment of a
medical inspector, whose duties
are pres cribed by the act. 1t
ought not to be necessary in civ
liked age when all measures pos
sible are being taken to prevent
disease among school children. to
have to call attention to such an
important matter the second
time, but as long as the school
spstem of a country is in charge
of men who Go not have the
greatest interest in the welfare
of the youth Of the country. Just
50 long viii such matter be neg
lected. All Of which leads up to
the point that the schools of the
country should be under the con-
troll and management Of the
women. The farmer in his any
icty to harvest his crops before
the ran comes, the lawyer work
ing overtime on an important
brief, or the banker engaged in
the marts of trade viii, for the
time at least, forget the welfare
Of bis children, but amolhers in
terost in them will never be

ing denied equal suffrage in edu-
cat'o1al matters, The balance Of
power should be in her hands.
