WHY NOT OBEY AS THE OTHERS?

tCedar Rapids Republican,
An Iowa paper recurring to sub
ject somewhat discussed Of late says:
For what crime would the state
permit the judge to sentence a man to
eighteen months solitary confinement
in a cell 3hx7x7 feet. into which no
ray Of sunlight had ever entered? Sol
itary confinement means that no pas
serby may speak. that no reading mat
ter may enter, that no letter may be
received or answered. And yet this ID

FIRES.


Oskaloosa had a $4,000 fire. said to
have been of incendiary origin. 1t is
bad habit. When we do not know
exactly how a fire has started, some
one starts the story that it is OF in
cendiary origin. 1t is like some more
or less quick witted county officials,
who believe that it is a case Of poison
ing whenever there sudden death,
that the physician is not fully able to
explain. Some of these good people
would have detected a Lucrecia Bor-
gia in every township. perhaps on
every section If there is to be a muir
der trial every time a physician does
not know what allied q patient. and
why he died, there will have to be
more judges and prosecuting attor-
neys in the land. If we are to assume
that there has been foul work done
every time we are uncertain as to the
real cause of fire. there will need to
be more legal machinery. The fact is,
that many fires are due to careless
ness. Instead Of keeping premises
clean and red up from cellar TO gar
ret, all sorts of dirt and refuse ana
waste is permitted to accumulate in
out of the way corners, closet under
stairways and in attics. And instead
OF wondering why fire breaks out. the
real wonder is that we do not have
more fires. OF course, Oskaloosa may
have suffered grievous loss at the re-
suit of the activity Of fire bugs. But
taking the state over, it is scarcely
fair to assume that every other fire,
about every fire that amounts to any
thing has been caused by fire bugs.
That is reflection upon the good
people of the state and the watchful-
ness and intelligence OF the authors
ties.
