AT a meeting of the Political Science
club at Norwich university short time
ago all present declared themselves in
favor of universal military training. The
men were somewhat divided as to the
value of such training in high schools
and the amount of credit for training at
military schools and colleges; but the
universal opinion was that universal
military training was the only right
kind of preparedness and must come
sooner or later.

THE INJUSTICE OF JUSTICE.

Orson Adams, Grand Junction bank
wrecker, home wrecker, fefon, and
thief, convicted on a large number of
counts, sentenced a little over three
years ago to serve term of six years
on each count in the federal prison at
Leavenworth, was this week paroled
and on his promise to be good" lest
he be caught again, walked forth a
free man.
Orson Adams ruled the roost" in
Mesa county. His word was law, and
no despot ever rode over his subjects
with mightier hand than heS Des-
pite the fact that his salary was a
plump one. it wasn't half sufficient
to meet his requirements, and so with
a clever scheme of bookkeeping he set
about to fill the Golfers to overflow
ing. Homes were robbed of every
dollar they had, from the mouths of
widows and orphans the last crumb
was taken, while Orson Adams. the
mighty, improved his already luxuri-
Gus circumstances. Until confronted
with the evidence of his crime, he was
forced to admit his guilt.
Just what clever scheme of diplom-
acy this crafty individual used to Sc
cure his parole, we are unable to un-
derstand, and even more Incompetent
Slble Is the TACT that his petition was
signed by men of influence. including
state officials. and members of the
bar and the clergy.
Many a poor Devil, situated in low
ly circumstances, denied the luxury
which he enjoyed, has committed
crime far less heinous. injuring no
one perhaps. more than himself. and
been allowed to rot in a prison cell
with never hand raised in his behalf.
never a word of sympathy or OF ex-
cuse for his act.
Such is the injustice OF justice:

REAL TRUTH ABOUT THAT

The action OF congress in exempt
