THOSE AWFUL 1enpEaAxcE FOLKS.

A firm OF distillers at Pittsburgh.
Pa, Is much exercised over alleged
''sle:ght Of hand methods" put in force
by the anti saloon league, % much so
that 1t is writing letters to the news
papers all over the country telling
about it. The letter is under the dis
filling company's letter head and
signed presumably by the authorized
representative Of the firm who says he
is a director in the chamber Of COM
merce. He says the league Is creating
an impression that the Pittsburgh
Board Of Trade adopted . resolution
favoring national prohibition and goes
on to explain:
The germ Of truth in the publication
is that a minor organization. called tn,
Pittsburgh Board OF Trade. with about
Si,oo0 income per year. has adopted
such resolution. but it represents
only a portion Of the east end.
There are about twenty little boards
Of trade in Pittsburgh and the action
of any one Of these boards is not sig
nificant. The representative business
mems organization Of Pittsburgh is the
chamber OF commerce, which has be-
tween LOO and 1900 members and an
income Of about $4,000 per year and
this organization certainly has not
adopted resolution in favor Of ma
tional prohibition, but on the contrary
Feb. 70. 1914, by an overwhelming vote
laid on the table resolutions favorins
national prohibition and on March y.
1914, took them from the table and by
a large majority killed the resolutions
by postponing action until May, 1915.
The letter is worth reproduction by
the anti saloon league and other tenn
perance organizations. According to
the distiller's letter the Pittsburgh
Board Of Trade did pass the resolution.
sThat such action is of no significance
most of US will scarcely agree with the
distiller. Further there Will exist the
suspicion that the distiller himself and
the inuterests that are paying postage
and expenses consider it sufficiently
significant to be alarming. Some sig
nif1cance may also attach to the fact
that the larger organization failed to
defeat the resolution and twice dodgeo
the real question by postponing action
on it.
But the funny part Of the letter Is
the sorrow displayed by the distillins
firm over the alleged resort to chican-
cry (which makes upright news
papers the innocen. agents for the ais
seminat!on Of its deceptive news.
The utter horror of deceptive news re-
ports certainly does credit to this dis
tiller in view Of the free plate, the ut
terly mendacious news dispatches
and the gamut of deception which the
saloon publicity agents have run up
and down the scale. =;
However, the Times-Republ!can Is
not conscious OF having been deceived
on the action OF the Pittsburgh Board
of Trade and is not likely to be fooieo
much by letters on the stationery OF
distilling firms.

"BILL" RICHARDS ARREST.

The rearrest OF "Bflr' Richards. for

teen-year seutenceefol a hold-up. as
sumIng that he has again faAen into
evil ways. only goes to show the In
adequacy of our present system OF
parole. t-.I T. :
If Richards, when, he went to prison,
had had before him the chance to work
his way out, by gaining credits Tor m
dustry and good conduct, and by prov
ing constantly to larger and larger
trusts, and had been permitted to earn
wages with which to get start IN
life, he would have been committed on
his release to an orderly course AT
least. he would have been committed

But what did happen to Richards
He was released as a matter OF per-
sonal whim on the part Of the parole
board, not in the way he had thought

heart against the whole prison man
agement, and with nothing to begin lie
with. a marked man and bitter man

that they are down and out, and then

Iowa needs nothing so much as an
intelligent re-arrangement Of the wnoie
machinery Of interminate sentence ana
parole, to the end that men who are
put in prison for their own good, as
well as for the protection OF society
may be started in the direction OF re.
hahilitation. and may not be sent ou''

They are afraid Of people.
The man OF immense wealth and in
volved in one enterprise upon another
finds 1t hard to believe and understand
that those who call on him are not
seeking advantage of one kind or an
other. He has excuse for most Of those
who come seeking something for them
selves. It is hard for those who have
appointments and favors to bestow
and whose every word is given
meaning to meet other men freely and
unreservedly.. 1t is a lonesome job.
No wonder Wilson misses the COM
partnership Of old friends who were
wont to drop in without ceremony,
speak without reserve and whose talk
was Of common things and neighbor-
hood and friendly gossip. Such COM
partnership is a great blessing. 1t is
an open question whether a presidency
or a financial magnateship or peculiar
distinction is enough to pay for its
loss.
A few friends, a fair income. a con-

HOW ABOUT THE BOARD?

Resignation Of John G.. Bowman.
president of Iowa University, on &C
count Of strained relations with the
state board of education, has revived
state discussions as to whether the
board Of education has fulfilled its mis-
sion. Since July l. 1909, this board
has been in control Of the three state
educational institutions. and history
shows that It has not been q peacefui
epoch liz state educational AFFAIRS.
In spite OF dissensions. there should
be some hesitation before assuming
that the situation calls for abolition OF
the board. Those familiar with FORMER
conditions will be inclined to realize
the necessity Of having the state edu-
cational institutions under . central
responsible head.
Practically all of the disturbances
and eruptions Of the past hve years
are due either to tacuess assumptions
Of authority by the board OF educaaon
or to mutinous outbursts against reas-
enable authority on the part OF the IN
stitution workers.
A properly composed board, enjoy.
ing public confidence, should be able
to keep within proper limits and SUD
due the rebellious instincts Of the sep
arate institutions. Before the creation
of the state board Of education, eacn
session Of the legislature witnessed
scandalouS scramble between the three
educational institutions for the biggest
slice Of appropriation pie. Some OF the
professors were employed more TOT
their ability as lobbyists than on &C
count of their talent as educators.
The theory was that state ooaro
of education. having jurisdiction over
the three schools, could harmonic the
courses of study, equalize approprla-
tions and otherwise abolish this oien-
NAL competition. Results so far Sc
cured have been considerably short OF

were easy victims for the White Sox.

Caldwell was called 10 preside over the
mound.
There were two men on bases and one

he knew what the signal meant and

ball flying toward the centre field fence.
