TRUSTING implicitly

"A young girl With hair braided
down her back was arrested in Des
Moines yesterday charged with re-
sponsibility for $500 defalcation in
one of the smaller postoffces of Iowa
1t appears by the newspaper story that
the deficit was discovered a few days
GO ny visiting inspectnr La.Ar the
girl was discharged. She seemed to
have too much money to spend and
thus was arrested and accused. The
postmaster says he had no knowledge
of deficit until the inspector called his
attention to II He says he trusted
his young clerk implicitly"
Perhaps the girl stole the money.
That is for the investigation to settle.
There are. however, few points worth
considering outside of the strictly lega!
and criminal aspect Of her case. She
was II years old. a young girl The
assumption is that she had practically
full charge of the postoft1ce. The post
master didn't know that the postoffce
funds were short $500 and $500 Is
considerable sum in smaller post
office The question is fair, why didn't
he know mora about the way g l7-year
old girl was taking care OF the office,
It's cash and OF herself? That's a fair
question. Y IS ore that employers Of
cheap and Youthful help in positions of
trust and responsibility should ask
often and answer with knowledge
There have been cases where a girl
or other cheap help do the work Of the
postofhce or other official jobs and
somebody older furnishes bonds and
draws the official salary. This par
ticular case. Of course, is not perhaps
one Of these. But in a general way
the man who hires youth and inexper-
fence cheap and gives il a mans work

meager wage 10 those whom he en-
ploys. II is not fair to trust implicit

tion upon those who are unified 10

mentary agriculture, manual training
and home economics. In securing
teachers for these departments. large
number of school officers have writ
ten us that they wish to employ col
lege graduates, but can not pay sal
aries higher than those paid to the
ether high school teachers. Our under
standing of the situation is that
large part OF the amount donated by
the state should be used to pay sal
aries high enough to secure competent
specialists. Perhaps there is no rea-
son why these special teachers should
secure higher salaries than teachers OF
other departments in high schools, but
the fact remains that with outside
states offering specialists higher sal
aries than Iowa high school teachers
receive Iowa schools will not obtain
trained specialists without Offering
higher salaries. The final result will
probably be that the salaries OF all
high school teachers in Iowa will be
raised.

COUNTRY ROAD SPEEDING.
ISiouN City Journal


A recent horrible example in Iowa
will not have involved net loss If it
induces reflection over the folly vi
automobile racing over rough dirt
roads.
There has been an immense amount
of chance taking by owners of auto
mobiles, partly in response to chal-
lenges from chance passersby and
partly in response to the human in
stinct 10 get little more out Of her
while the track seems clear. One not
infrequenily hears driver Dragging
of how he passed the other fellow
even il he had to push the speed indi-
Gator above the forty five mark or
how he beat BLACK cieud into town,
running most of the way with the little
cid engine doing her prettiest. That
sort OF thing may oe sporty. but il is
not sensible
When a railroad prepares 10 trans
port passengers at the rate OF forty
or fifty miles an hour il lays a track
OF wood and steel and ballasts it heav-
lily. The wheels OF the rolling stock
are fitted to the smooth rails and all
turns are made at scientifically ar
ranged curves and slopes. When the
automobile rlanufa cturers and dealers
want 10 demonstrate the speed of their
machines they place them on a
smoothly graded and paved or oiled
track In both instances speed is in
dulged n only after all possible pre-
cautions IN the interest of safety have
been made.
The average country road in Iowa
presents no rational invitation for use
as speedway. 1t is rough or dusty
under the best of conditions 1t Is
usually graded i-regularly. II is
spanned by projecting culverts or
bridges. Passage over it al high speed
IS attended by many hazards. Any
thing that may cause a quicl, turn or
sudden application of the brakes is
dangerous when the car is going at
high speed. The hazard of turning
turtle" is present at every moment.
The disastrous consequences Of an ac-
cident TO the steering gear or any
mishap that may be charged to rough
going are multiplied many times when
the speed is excessive.
Twenty or twenty five miles an hour
is high speed with an average car on
an average country road. To err on
the safe side one might readily reduce
speed below those figures. The driver
who habitually accepts invitations to
ties is taking chances for which the
possible gain is nosssworth the certain
risk.

they make good. the road camps Will
be multiplied over the state next
year. Very possibly it marks new
era in dealing with criminals in this
part OF the country.
II is time now to look forward and
ask what the state Is prepared to do
for these men when their time is out.
Shall 1t be necessary for man to be
under sentence in order TO obtain
work on the roads from the state OF
lliinois-or of Iowa. When his time
is up is the prisoner who has made

fall among old associations and soon.
perhaps. be brought before the judge
again! 1t would seem that convici
in road camp should be paid nomi-
nal wage that should be deposited for
him or turned over TO his family.
When he has served his time there
should be a job for him at more ade-
Quate pay, and the state should see
that he has some employment until he
can find better.

CONVICT LABOR.


The experiment of working pepiten-
tiary convicts on the highways Of the
state is being tried out AZ Ames, where
fifteen prisoners from Ft. Madison are
already at work. They put in nine
hours a day and their foreman says of
them. "they are the happiest lot OF
men l have working for me, and they
are doing more work than any other
equal number Of men I have in my
employ The men live in q camp,
nave their own cook, and receive paE
out of which they pay the cost Of

for ten more prisoners TO put on the

PAYING PRISONERS.
IDes Moines Tribune. ]


Governor Clarke, after visiting Fort
Madison. expresses himself in favor Of
paying prisoners for their work
Warden Saunders will turn into the
prison support fund $4,000 this month
over and above the money received for
men working on contracts. This is
the money the men have earned who
have worked on the farms about Fort
Madison. The men get no part of IL.
The Legislature put il in the law that
prisoners working on the roads should
be paid. The board Of control is max
ing q regular wage earning matter OF
II for chem.
Why should not the board promptly
use the discretion il undoubtedly has
and apply the same principle 10 the
men who are doing other than road
work?
That IS what the wardens recon-
mend. and that is what the governor
favors. Other states are doing il, why
not Iowa?
There is man at Fort Madison who
left a wife and eleven children when
ne Went TO the penitent!ary. He is
Z hard worker. But he gets nothing,
and contributes nothing 10 the sup
port of his family. This is wrong for
him. and foolish on the part OF the
state.

any doubt give Iowa an urto dote set
of prison regulations.
