Why does a boy, after a year
and half in reformatory. come
forth embittered, discouraged and
ready to plunge deeper into crime +?
These were the questions in my
mind as | stood on one side of a
stout iron door and looked
through the bars at John Gaskins,
II years old, who is at Brooklyn
Jail. awaiting sentence for a series
of robberies to which he pleaded
guilty.
May Get 40 Years.
Under his plea-"first degree,
second offense this boy may get
40 years I'm Sing Sing. 1t seemed
hard to realize, as | looked into
his clear, blue eyes and followed
the straight, youthful lines of his
slim figure.
Gaskins was one of gang
which, last spring, looted car of
silverware in freight yard. They
melted down $4,000 worth of
silverware, Gaskins testified, and
got $4,000 for it. His share was
$4,000, and he spent it in two
months on Broadway. He had a
suite of rooms at a swell hotel,
and he opened a good many mag

He's .'In BAD" Now
When his money was gone, Gas
lfins turned to robbery again. He
aided in burglarizing four cigar
stores and a jewelry store. He
was arrested and escaped from
the Tombs. Arrested again, he
got away while being transferred
from court to prison, and was
for the third time a few
night ago.

no doubt about that. But IL

He was the son of a chief engi-
neer on one of the big coast lines.
His father died when he was a
child. His mother married again,
and he didn't get along with his
stepfather. He ran away from
home. He got into bad company,
and for some minor offense was
sent to the Elmira reformatory.
HE STAYED THERE EIGHTEEN
When Gaskins made his plea of
guilty, he told the judge that his
experience in Elmira was largely
responsible for his subsequent life
of crime. l went to ask him his
reason for making that statement.
Nobody Cared.

Washington. d. c., June 20.-With
the announcement OF the preparation OF
another bill by Representative Jones
of Virginia. calling for the ultimate in
dependence of the Philippines and pro-
posing changes in the present system
of government. the question of Phil
fppine independence, one of the meas-
ures to which this administration is
pledged, will probably soon be brought
up in congress.
The first Jones bill called for out
right independence and apparently did
not meet with the presidents approx
al. This second one, which has not yet
been made public, is understood TO be
in the nature of compromise.

based upon the number OF men out of

basis in actual industrial conditions.
What We have in the United States
is not a problem in the employment
but in the distribution OF labor" said
Secretary Houston. THE chief cause
OF it is the fact that thousands of men
are landed annually from abroad in a
few of the large eastern cities-New
York. Philadelphia and Baltimore
and that there are no adequate facili-
ties for distributing them through the
agricultural sections. There never was
a time in the history OF American agri-
culture when there were enough men
to do the work. Only 40 per cent of
the arabic land in the United States
is under cultivation and that means
there there still is a large body of pub
lie land to be developed. Moreover,
only IL per cent OF that under cultiva-
ton is giving full returns. A large
part of the land which is not yielding
all that II might is included in farms.
but II is cultivated because the labor
Is not available. There is not an

There are many who think that
this problem of the distribution OF
labor could best be remedied by max
ing II lawful TO bring Iaborers from
Europe under contract These con-
tracts might be for agricultural work

Duhne of Illinois believes the demo
cratic candidate for senator in illinois
should live outside of Cook county. He
saws so In a communication published
in today's issue of Secretary Bryan
Commoner.
THE positions of governor, lieuten-
ant governor, secretary of state. and
one OF the United States senators,
Governor Dunno says, ARE filled by
men from Cook county. The speaker
Of the house is also from Cook county.
The only state offices now held by
democrats who do not live in the coun-
ty of Cook are two congressman at
large, the attorney general, and the
state treasurer, the term of the latter
office expiring at the end of the pres
ent year, 1914.
I'm view of the great preponderance
of the present incumbents in favor of
Cook county, / have been of the opin-
ion for some time and have so advised
my democratic friends that the next
United States senator should be Sc
lected from among candidates who re-
side outside of Cook county.
Good Material Downstate.
There ought to be. and is, good ma
terial downstate from which such can
didates could be selected. Democratic
sentiment should unite in attaining
this end.
81 honestly hope that candidates for
the senatorship and the rank and file
of the democratic party will cooperate
in the selection of some strong, capa-
BILE, progressive democrat outside of
Cook county to lead us to the polls
next November with strength and So
lidarity of sentiment which will insure
democratic success, and l am using
every effort to assist the democrats of
the state in bringing about the solu-
ton.
Personal considerations, both
among the candidates and among vot- |
ers, should give way before the inter-
est of the party and the interest of the |
party. in my judgment, requires the |
of a downstate democrat, |

Chicago, Ill, June 20.-The financial
whirlpool into which the LaSalle Street
Trust & Savings bank and affiliated
banking institutions have been thrown
within the past 10 days draws atten-
ton to the remarkable career of the
financial hacker of these banks, c. b.
Munday.
Munday began as messenger boy
in Litchfield, ILL.,, where he was born.
He became a telegraph operator.
Working at the key, Munday heard the
gossip of the wires and the chatter of
big business. He became interested
in the grain market and began to buy
grain in a small way. That was the
beginning of his financial career and
his remarkable rise. He is the head
of some twenty business institutions,
and built up a fortune in little more
than ten years.
Now Mr.. Munday has decided to
step down and out of control of the
banks which have been under his man
agement. Former Senator William
Lorimer. with whom he has been close
ly associated. will also get out.
1T is necessary that Mr. Lorimer
and myself resign to restore public
said Munday. 1--WE reach
ed this conclusion after a few of the
principal stockholders had talked the
matter over. Our designations we're |
not suggested, but it is evident that |
it is the only thing for us to do.
Then the banks can be completely |
with Mr. Lorimer and | /
put for good. The outside banks will |
be separated from the LaSalle Street
bank and reorganized by men who
nave the complete confidence of the
leighborhoods in which they live"
