MERRILL GLEASON RELEASED

Merrill Gleason who was sent to
the Industrial school at Eldora from
this county last year, but who recent
ly escaped from that institution, was
caught at Laramie, Wyo., the fore
part of the week. He was going I'M
der the name of George Brown when
taken up by the sheriff at Laramie.
Word was telegraphed TO Sheriff
Wilson, of this city. After con-
ference it was decided to order the
Wyoming officials to release Merrill
as the county did not care to assume
the expense of returning him to the
Industrial school. AS long as he re-
mains away from Audubon or. the
state of Iowa the young man will
have his liberty, but ifhe ever re-
turns here he can be taken up on the
cd charge and returned to Eldcra.

JAKE LOEB TRIES AND cONVIcTS
QUICK ON TREASON CHARGE
Oscar NJ. Heath, instructor in Eng
fish at EnglewOod high school, to-
day stands suspended from the
school system on order of the school
board president. The crime of which
he is alleged to be guilty is that of
Z Eriting and printing pamphlet pro-
testing against the federal govern
ment's' entrance into the war.
81 do not regard my article as
reasonable" said Heath today.
while Pres. Loeb undoubtedly has
authority to order my suspension
from the school system, it is not
within his rights to brand me as a
traitor to the nation and guilty of
the crime of seditiO1 and treason.
That is a question for the United
States government to decide, not for
Pres. Loeb, although Loeb seems to
think there is no power higher than
himself"
Heath has been in the Chicago
school system since 1908. He calls
himself an American Socialist" and
points to an ancestry of four genera
lions of American citizens. He is
going to take his case to circuit and
supreme courts for hearing. He be-
heves the courts will say that Jake
Loeb went beyond his limit in charg-
ing treason and SeditiOn.
Loeb is a Russian Jew born on
Archey Road with an ancestry that
traces to KovnO, Poland. He made
no effort yesterday 70 keep his name
out of the papers.

MARTIN CARLTON, NAMED By
CHAMBERMAID, MISSING

Lest trusting friends or bitter en-
enies doubt now that Martin Carlton
skipped trial on charges of a cham
beTmaid that he ruined her, his bond
of $500 was forfeited yesterday when
he failed to appear in the court of do
nestle relations.
Carlton, high-priced employee of
the Illinois Steel Co. in South Chica-
go, was confronted by a man who
claimed that he had deserted a wife
and baby ten years ago and had been
living under an assumed name since.
After his exposure he sold his steel
stock, drew his money from the
bank, borrowed all he could get from
acquaintances and fed, police say.

PLAN TO MAKE WARRANTS HELP
GROW COUNTRY'S FOOD.

The law which makes it a crime
for a fellew to be penniless and job
less-the vagrancy 'law-will be
strictly enforced, according to Chief
of Police Schuettler, and men will be
sent to the Bridewel, where they
will be put to work on nearby farms.
Through an agreement with Chief
Justice Olson, the vagrant will be
soaked with a stiff sentence and his
services will be used by the county
to help grow eats.
Another Decent jump made wheat
situation more acute today and
forced the price Of standard flour to

THE SEAMAN'S ACT
WILL AFFECT THIS

Would wise man install a great
machine in his factory if he knew
there were no competent men to
operate it?
Would wise nation build a great
navy and make no provision for
trained seamen to operate it?
This is what the United States has
been doing up to the time the Sea-
mans Act passed congress. This wise
and humane law has been in force
only a short time and appears to be
accomplishing the things the law
makers expect of 1.-THE rearing of
a race of well paid, well protected,
self respected sailors. But the de-
partment of commerce seems to be
trying to cripple the law in the in
terest of wealthy ship owners, who
never go to sea, like unto the rail
road directors who run the railroads
for revenue only, and without regard
to the welfare of the public or their
employees.
At this time Uncle Sam needs
skilled seamen to man his mag
nificent ships, but the shipping policy
of the government has been such
that American keels have almost
ceased to pillow the seven seas. The
new policy of encouraging American
shipping and seamen will lift us out
of the hole some time in the future,
it is to be hoped.
A. T. Mahan, in "The Interest of
America in Sea Power, Present and
Future" says:
"There can be no naval effective
ness without skilled seamanship, and,
other conditions being equal, suprem-
acy is for the fleet having the most
expert seamen. That navy, other
conditions being equal, will have the
greatest reserve of expert seamen
which is backed by maritime ma
tional spirit and powerful, we'll
