SEASON DETERS LIBERTY.
State Board Grants Few Paroles 1t
RGf0Ema40Fy.

Hutchinson. KAN, Nov, 2s.-Mem-
bers Of the reformatory board believe
that winter IL poor time to turn q
young man who has been in the In
etitution for a year or more out to
face the world.
That il why only eleven out Of the
fifty-four applications for paroles
were granted At the session Of the
board. This IL the smallest number Of
paroles granted since the present
board was appointed by Governor
Hodges. And there was an unusually
large number OF boys seeking paroles,
including those on the grievance list
this month.
The board members argued that
work is much scarcer in winter and 1t
seems to be especially this winter.
There are more clothes to buy in win
ter and expenses are higher. So II IL
probable that those inmates seeking
parole who cannot show to the board
that they have some means Of support
for the winter, will be detained In the
institution until spring opens.

eleven from the Christian Brothers
college OF st. Louis here, winning a
decisive 80 to 10 victory. Both sides
were penalixed heavily for rough
work.
The men from St. Louis were out
classed and could not solve the pro-
tected forward pass that the Indians
used for consistent gains. In addi-
ton. the Indian players, Richards.
Artichoker and Powell, charged
through the st. Louis line for repeat
ed gains. Tho Catholic defenses were
weak. -s-~------.------ - --.-------
The only touchdown made by the
st. Louis team came when Powell

line and hit st. Louis player, the
ball bounding back Of the Haskell
goal. when White fell on it. H. Rat
icon scored the only field goal of the
game when he sent the oval between
the Haskell posts from the IS yard

The Haskell team became a plung-

soon as the play started. The Cath

cate plays and the cleverly executed
forward passes. The Indians used
strategy and cunning to awe the st.

it becomes even more apparent how
meager are his earnings. At the
hearing some time since, when rail-
road wages were being arbitrated, a
fireman testified that he earned about
one hundred dollars per month, but
was unable to save any money. Ac-
cording to the nature of the work,
railroad employees are paid sums,
which are, probably, two to eight
times the money wage earned by the
farmers in the studies quoted, nor am
speaking of the officers of the COM
panies.
It is not just to compare the earn
ings of the man, who owns the farm,
with those of the skilled worker, who
belongs to labor union, without say
ing that farmer must be an educat-
ed man, with that rare form of intel
ligence which makes a man versatile
and adaptable. He must be familiar
with the principles of agriculture,
mechanics and sanitation and able to
perform many various tasks demand
ing great skill. In addition he must
be a good business man.
