PRISON REFORM
IS ADVOCATED
Charge Is Made Hhat the Slavery Of
Iowa Prisons Is Worse Than
That of the Black Man.
PRIZES OFFERED FOR ESSAYS
Every Man, Woman and Child Inter
ested in Subject Should Advo-
cate Reforms in Prison.

l.. J. Tiernagle, of Story City, for
merly one of the central loWaS best
known and most brilliant attorneys,
makes the formal charge that the SlaV-
cry of Iowa prisons is worse than that
OF the black man in the south before
the war and that the parole law is a
ridiculous farce. Mr.. Tjernagle served
a sentence of five years in the "peni-
Tertiary at Anamosa for embezzlement
"a crime which even the chief prose
cutting witness afterward declared was
never committed. Since his liberation
Mr.. Tiernagle has rericated the re-
mainder Of his life to a fight for i'm
proved conditions and better criminal
laws. He has spent the past two years
lecturng over Iowa and now in an
open letter to the graduating classes
of Iowa offers three prizes amounting
to 500 for the best essays on prisons
and prison reform work. The follow
ing is a part Of Mr.. 1jernagle's letter:
TO the Graduating Glass of 1914: :.
There is no question before us to-
day that is as far reaching and as
vital to every man, woman and child
as the broad question of Prison Re
form. Knowing this, and, being this
is the time OF the year when the SEN
iors Of our high schools are looking
about for a suitable subject for their
thesis for commandments next June
1st, | have thought it well to offer lib
el.al prizes for the best written article
On subjects pertaining to prison, pris-
Oners and prison reform. That will
include prison management; the pa
role law as practiced and kindred sub
jects. Will have different worded sub
jects which these who wish to enter
the contest can secure by correspond
ing direct with the undersigned. |
wish to spend 500 divided into three
prizes: $50. $50, $40
Competent and disinterestcd judges
will be selected to decide on the mer-
it's of the papers sent in. . am ready
and willing to furnish data and facts
that will assist contestants in this
matter.
! am hoping, and expect. that at
least one from each graduating class
in the state will enter this contest and
will take one of my subjects. | can
assure those who do that they are dis
cussing an up to date and useful sub
ject that will surely do good to all who
hear it.
1t is very fitting for you to com
mence at your commencement to
take a hand in social wrongs that are
perpetrated within the state. 1t is
well to bear in mind that worse form
of slavery exists i'll Iowa today than
ever existed in the south: also that the
sweet sounding parole law is twisted
and turned SO that instead of it be-
ing blessing, it is made into q ridicu-
lous farce, and fraud, not only upon
those whom it was intended to benc-
fit, but also upon you and the tax
payers.

The Crops and the Bids

The spring outlook for crops in the
United States is considered quite as
good as usual. There is a general
report of rather more moisture than
common, due partly to heavy SHOWS
in many states.
Yet there is one tremendous factor
that always arises to block the bright
err hopes of q man. That is the ire
mendous increasing damage done by
insect pests.
Much of this loss is something new,
not known to previous generation.
And the reason is that the birds, the
natural defenders of the crops. have
been killed off.
There is a big demand for birds of
ell kinds from hotels and restaurants
at fancy prices. The flock of birds
that would once have saved a grain
field. is now made up for q single sup
per for some palace of luxury.
The enactment OF the migratory
bird law will do much to check this
senseless waste But it can be stop
ped only as public sentiment is pow
erful in defense of bird life. 1t must
insist that the limit of the law be i'm
posed on all who violate it.

doubly sure of explaining the point
He told OF a woman who, having lost
piece Of silver, went diligently over
her house, until it was found, and she
too called on her friends to make JOY
with her over the recovery.
The parable of the lost sheep is CIV
en- also in Matthew. There Jesus said
that He came to bring sinner and not
the righteous to repentance. This
was notice to His self righteous hear
ers that His mission was to seek and
save sinners, and the lowly in life,
and not to eat and feast with those
thinking themselves perfect.
Thanks be to God, the religion OF
Jesus is attractive to the weak and
lowly. The world around it is those
who feel the burden OF sin, who come
to Him for forgiveness and comfort.
The sinner who smote on his breast
and said God be mercifu to me a
sinner" went away from the place
of prayer forgiven. Much could here
be written as to the care OF the sheep
by the shepherd in the land OF Pals
tine, and the likeness of you and to-
day to sheep easily lost, unable to
reach home and shelter without aid
This all readily see.
The bible declares that Like as a
father pittieth his children, so the
Lord pittieth them that fear Him.
Again we are told that God so loved
the world that He gave His only be-
gotten Son, that whosoeyer believeth
in Him shall not perish but have ever
lasting life" These show the posi-
ton OF God toward us. 1t is one OF
sympathy, love with no desire to have
us perish Based on the words OF
this lesson. was written that familiar
hymn, THE Ninety-Ninth," which has
touched the hearts OF thousands. This

give us ALL and the rejoicing When
we are safe under His protecting care
if we have wandered away.
| 1t is we'll to remember that in the
times of Jesus the people in and about
Jerusalem We're greatly divided up III
sets, classes and castles. The educat-
! ed. called in the bible Pharisees and
scribes, assumed to be the best OF all,
and had as little direct dealing with
| other people as possible. The lower
| classes were often called ."Publicans
and sinners" and these were looked
down upon. During the early part OF
His ministry the Pharisees showed
Jesus many favors, and He was Oft a
guest at their homes. Such as these
were very self righteous, calling them
selves the direct descendants OF Alb
raham and thus sure OF Gods favor.
The lesson of today starts with the
statement that the publicans and SON
ners came near to hear what Jesus
might say. This caused the self right
eouS Pharisees to sheer ut Him tor
associating with down people and even
eating with them. This state OF al
fairs gave Jesus the chance to tell
one of His wonderful parallels and
this time it was about the Sheep
that was lost He told OF shepherd
who having one hundred sheep, found
he had lost one, and that thereupon
he left the safe ones and searched
with diligence in the wilderness I'M
til the lost was found, and then it
was placed on his shoulders and
borne in safety to the sheep fold.
The shepherd on arriving home, as
told OF in the parable, called his neigh
bors to rejoice with him over the re-
covery OF the lost sheep. Jesus add
ed that there was JOY in heaven over
one sinner who repented. To make

The rise OF the Irish people from the
early red shirted immigrants who used
to build the railroads. to their present
conspicuous position, is one OF the
romances of history. One great srea-
son for this advance has been the

says was one of Patricks chief char

Detectives W. V. A. Blauvelt and John
". Courier. OF Hackensack. after an
investigation Of the death of William
Mariner. a magazine artist. whose
charred body was found in the ruins
of his summer home at Harrington
Park yesterday, are of opinion that
Mariner died a firebug and a probable
suicide. The detectives base their
conclusion on an interview with Carl
Hoberman, a neighbor of Mariner,
late last night.
Mariner was under the influence
of liquor Thursday afternoon, after a
visit to Westwood, and when | stopped
20 speak to him he remarked. If my
wife doesn't come home tonight I'll
burn my house and the whole viii

WANT MARINE BILL A LAW
Labor Unions Fear It May Be
Lost After Election.

Labor organizations in the marine
trades are anxious 20 have the mer-
chant marine bill IN operation before
election. and an agitation has been
started by the Coppersmiths' Union,
whose members would be benefited by
the bill. to get organized labor to ap-
peal TO Congress TO have the bill made
law without delay. William II. Kelly,
delegates of the Coppersmiths' Union,
said last evening:
"Thc war in Europe has paralyzed
shipbuilding and there are large num-
bers of unemployed mechanics in all
branches OF the marine trades who are
beginning TO feel the pinch of distress.
As il is less than month to election.
if action on the measure to have it
made law is not taken at once il will
probably be forgotten for the time, and
if it is not made law before election
there will likely be a long delay in TAX
ing final action on il after election"
Al the request of Kelly the Central
Federated Union has decided 10 send
an appeal to Congress tomorrow urg-
ing the immediate enactment OF the
