MISSOURI STATE PRISON OVER
FULL AND MERCY DE-
MANps RELIEF.
CLEMENCY FOR lST OFFENSE
Governor Urges That Conditions at
Penitentiary Must BE improved,
az Congestion is Worst in
History of Place.
Jefferson City.


To relieve the congestion at the
Missouri penitentiary, the worst in
the history of the institution, and to
protect the health of the inmates,
Governor Major and the board Of
pardons have decided to inaugurate
a more liberal parole policy, and to
release great number Of young men
who are first offenders.
Governor Major said that some
thing had to be done to relieve the
crowded condition of the prison. The
question of unemployment also is a
vexing proposition. There is now a
larger per cent of convicts without
employment than ever before.
There are 2,S47 inmates of the pen
itentiary. Chairman Noel of the par
don board says that many of cells
in what is known as "a" hall have as
many as seven convicts in them.
None of the cells have less than
two, and scores of them have four or
i've occupants.
The forty-eighth general assembly
appropriated $135,OO0 for the con
structon of an intermediate reforma.
tory for first offenders at Boonville
but the scarcity of state funds has
prevented anything being done to
wards the erection of the necessary
buildings.

AutomobIIe Year ExpIres Feb. !.

Automobile Year Expires Feb. I.
Just why the trainers Of the auto
mobile registration law provided that
the year should begin February 1 in
stead of January l, no one has ever
explained. That a great many own
ers of automobiles and other motor
vehicles believe that the license year
runs concurrently with the calendar
year is evidenced by the number Of
applications coming in daily for new
licenses.
Secretary of State Roach has made
the following statement in regard to
the matter:
Under the provisions Of the state
motor vehicle law, only 1915 number
plates can be legally used during jan
uary. The 1915 registration year does
not begin until February 1. No 1910
plates will be issued or mailed prior
to that time"
Blanks for the coming registration
year beginning February have been
sent out, and as stated by Secretary
Roach, applications on them will be
fled after January and issued Feb
ruary /. It is estimated that there
will be ready to mail out February 1
10000 or 10000 licenses.

Politics Burning Issue.

FoliIlCS Burning ISSUE.
There will be some sensational po-
litical developments in Missouri in
the next few weeks. One will be the
announcement of the gubernatorial
candidacy of Secretary Of State Cor
nelius Roach, and another will be a
move Of the same kind by Judge w.
w. Graves Of the supreme court
There is no doubt that Secretary
Roach will be a candidate. There is
considerable doubt about the Judges
coming out. He has been strongly
urged to enter the race all during the
past year, but has never made any
positive statement one way or the
other.
Whatever move is made by either
of these two men viii have an inn
portant bearing on the impending pri-
mary election.
Another interesting development
viii be along the line of the possible
candidacy of Gov. Elliott w. Major
for vice-president. All talk of Gov.
Major as candidate is based on the
assumption that there is to opposi-
tion to the denomination of Marshall,
and that President Wilson will take
no hand in the selection of man for
second place on the ticket.

Wabash Attacks Rail Rates.

The Wabash Railroad, through its
receiver, E. B. Pryor, has filed an ap-
plication for rehearing on parts of
the recent increased rate order of the
public service commission. The Wa
bash, in its application rejects the
two-cent mileage book order Of the
commission and parts of the freight
schedules and indicates that unless
the motion is granted, the case will
be carried to the United States courts
for final determination.
The Wabash is the first OF the big
trunk railroads in Missouri to file OBJ
jections to the terms of the commits
sion's order, although it has been
known for some time that none Of the
roads were preparing to put the new
rates into effect on January 1, as they
were permitted to do under the order
of the commission.
The order provides that the roads
may collect the increased rates 80
days after the schedules have been
have been filed. The schedules have
have not yet been filed.
In their application for rehearing
attorneys for the Wabash declare
that the provision by the commission
for mileage books to be sold at cents
mile is unlawful, because 1t is dis.
criminatory. They also contend that
baggage rates and freight rates on
live stock are in conflict with the rul
ings of the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission, and discriminate in favor OF
Missouri points as against points in
| neighboring states.

the Union, when all the states are
considered together, announces q bu-

Included in the Missouri figures is
the mortality for negroes, which is
twice as great as that Of white men
and women. While no statistics are
available to show the mortality Of ne
groes, taking the state as a whole,
in st. Louis in 1914 it amounted to
26.6, a difference which raised the
general death rate there from 14.2
for the Caucasian race to Is per thou

population of 734,667 men, women and
children, consisting of 6S103S whites
and 1890 blacks.
In the Union there are 25 states
which have an adequate death regis
tration system, and Missouri exc, Is
all these, with the exception OF Cola
RADIO, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana,
Utah and Wisconsin, and is only out
classed by these few for the reason
that in proportion to their 1914 popu-

ranks when it comes to the lowness
of its 1914 mortality are: California,
Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Ma
ryland, Maine, Massachusetts, Michi
gan, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont
and Virginia.
In 1914, on an estimated population
of 3,372,SS6, 41,356 died. The death
