BETHLEHEM COMPANY PUBLICITY.

Suspicion is the father of discomfort and
some people are never satisfied. Had they
nothing to find fault with and We're life for
ever to move in "a smooth channel it is safe
bet there would be those prone to complain.
nv riters III the press who make capital OF at
lacking "big business condemn the Bethle-
hem Steel company's advertising campaign
against the naval bills armor plant provision
on the ground that it is attempt to play
politics by appealing to the public. The
method of the Bethlehem company's propagan-
da is obviously right and is exactly in accord
with the policy which critics Of business are
always clamoring for. Here is a great corpora
ton frankly discussing its business in the open.
When corporations are silent in regard to their
affairs they are condemned for star chamber
methods of procedure; when they publish the
facts Of their business to the public they are
condemned for trying to confuse the public
mind. There is no justice or sense in this sort
of carping. Why not be fart

THE BLACK HOLE OF KEoKUK.

It is obvious even to those who are so FORUM
ate as not to be inmates of the cells in the base
ment Of the county court house that the quar-
tiers assigned to prisoners are insanitary and IN
other ways unfit AS an expression Of human
ity that should go out to all breathing crea-
lures, the location of the prisoners quarters
should be changed, if possible, to some other
part Of the building. If such a move is not
feasible, measures might be taken to inaugurate
a sentiment looking to the building Of a new
and up-to- date jail for the holding of those
awaiting trial or under conviction. 1t is be-
lieved that reading of description OF the
Black Hole of Calcutta might suggest parallel
that would lead to consideration of conditions
in the Black Hole at the corner of Fifth and
Concert streets, Keokuk.

JURORS IMPARTIALITY.

In the discussion of improvements possible
to be made In our court practice there have
been many references to the time occupied in
selecting juries and the difficulty in securing
impartialIty in the jury box because OF the
press publicity given to crime. A case in point
is seen in the present trial in Chicago of young
Orpet accused of capital offense' More
than week was spent in securing four jurors.
There is reason to believe, as ex-President Taft
said, that the danger of partial Judgment IS
unduly magnifed by opposing attorneys. More
over. there is no wish on the part Of the tales
men to dispel any doubt as to unfitness to act
on jury particularly when the crime Is a
capital one Jury service is disagreeable at
the best to busy and thoughtful men and is
shrked by many of them who could well per-
form this public service. As to impartiality,
too. there is much nonsense exploited. Any
bias of opinion due to personal relations, to
personal prejudice, to dogmatic theory, may
rightfuly unfit man from Impartial service
on particular jury. But to regard an intelli-
gent man as partial because he has formed an
opinion certain facts that may have come to
his attention is to exclude intelligence. A man
who has formed an opinion on evidence with
out prejudice is perfectly capable Of changing
that opinion the presentation of further evil
dence. We have come to a pass IN other mat
tiers than Jury service where the statement Of
opinion is likely to bring accusation of
prejudice against anyone making 1t. We have
lost the real significance of the meaning of i'm
partially which denotes simply capacity and
will to weigh evidence and form judgments on
1t without distortion due to prejudice. In the
sense IN which many people regard impartiality

JAMES ]. HILL.

With the death Of James j. Hill, one of the
worlds greatest men passes. For many years
he had been one of the dominant factors Ill
financial and railroad circles, having gone into
the great northwest when opportunities were
considered few and chances Of success vague
In that territory he scored success that made
his early visions of Industrial empire building
become realities AS railway builder he was
without peer, surrounding difficulties in con-
struction and financing that would have dis
couraged others less determined. However
much James J. Hill may have profited person
ally, the country in which he operated profited
hundred fold. He was promoter Of indus
tries and developer of agriculture and to his
lasting credit it can be said that he never forgot
his home city-St. Paul.

GOOD HEALTH A MIGHTY ASSET.

Sickness robs the wage earners of the United
States of millions Of dollars annually, and it is
said that seventy per cent. of the poverty and
restitution requiring charitable aid is traceable
directly to i'll health. From this it is obvious
that good health is mighty asset, not only to
workers but to society in general. Sickness is
bane, plague that involves not only hui
man suffering but entails tremendous financial
losses. Therefore, the preservation of health
becomes of foremost Importance in the com
munity Much sickness is preventabe. Prob
ably it is no exaggeration to say that an aver
age of nine days Of physical complaint could
be reduced to three or four days if people lived
and labored in sanitary environment and if they
we're hygienic in habits. It is worth while to
strive for these things, for economic reasons
and wholly aside from humane impulses that
prompt US to eagerness in the wish to save our
fellow men from suffering and death.
