EXERCISE OF RESTRAINT.

Out Of Criminal Courts.
Special to Times-Republican.
Iowa City, May 9.-"Exercise re-
straint" is the advice Of Warden j. G.
Sanders, of the Fort Madison pentten-
tiary, to all men who would keep out
of the criminal court. He spoke to the
Iowa City Commercial Club Monday.
Man is a mere lump of flesh, or
passions. and desires that must be sub
jugated and controlled" the warden
said 1.-THE man who fails is the man
who has not properly trained himself
or has not been trained by his parents
to control his passions.
1.-The young person needs the guild
ance Of his elders, especially during
his formative years. If this be good
he will learn to exercise control OF his
actions and will, except in unusual
cases, live strictly within the bounds
of law and order. But If the early In
fluence be not good, the person will
have a much harder struggle with
passion" x. 8
There is nothing in the theory that
a criminal can be detected by his Ia
cial expression, the Fort Madison man
asserted. Neither does he think 1t
certainty that the son OF criminal par
| ents will be a criminal because Of
:heredity. The most important factor
for good or bad is the training the
! youth receives when his character Is
| forming, he said.<% % "

be avoided, more especially MS the re-
lief they offer Is only temporary and
is usually more than offset by disturb
ance to the vital organs caused by their
violent action.
