Dallinger Assails Baker
For Parole to Smith
Shows Secretary's Conception
of Justice Is Distorted, Con-
gresham Says

BOSTON, Oct. 7.-Congressman Fred
erick w. Dallinger to-day made public
correspondence with Secretary of War
Baker regarding his protest against the
parole of Lieutenant Frank II. ("Hard
BolledO Smith, who was found guilty
of cruelties to soldiers Of the A. E. f.
at prison camps in France.
"lf it is true that you are responsible
for Hard Boiled Smiths parole, it SIM
ply means that your conception of JUS
tice is sadly distorted" the Congress-
man wrote. He made this statement,
he said, because of his intimate knowl-
edge of the trial OF Smith, and of con-
ditions recently called to his attention
that men who have shown no vicious
tendencies, but who have simply com
mitted infractions of military disci-
pline, are still suffering punishment"
He cited one case in which soldier
who, while intoxicated, struck SER
geant, is still serving q sentence re-
duced from twenty five to five years
adding that at is travesty on justice
to keep him behind the bars until he is
entitled to parole under the law, and at
the same time parole Smith because
authority exists in his case"

Governor Urges 10 Depart

OGDENSBURG, N. Y, Oct. 7.-Gov-
ernor Smith declared in speech here
tonight that his plan for the reorgan-
lzation of the state government con-
tained no politics and "by no stretch
Of the imagination could you make pol
itics out of it, unless you desired to
serve your own ends by it,
Reiterating his statement at Malone
last night that the system is fifty years
old and no one man can keep track
of it," he asked, what can be expected
from the people themselves as to a
knowledge of what is taking place in
their government ?"
The reorganization plan, he ex-
planned, "is to erect nineteen DEPART
ments of government and put the du-
ties of all the 1877 state boards into
the nineteen departments, all to be re-
sponsible to the Governor, where the
Governor of the state can have a hand
when anything is going wrong.
rs it any wonder that Judge Miller
himself was member of the executive
committee that urged the organization
scheme upon the Legislature at the last
session ?" the Governor asked.
ut is to be regretted that Judge
Miller finds himself to-day in the awk-
ward position Of bang obliged to op-
pose it, because the reactionary ele,
ments in his own party wrote a plank
in opposition to it into the platform
that was adopted at Saratoga, upon

ii SON OF THE DESERT.


All day he had peregrnated, and
stood transfixed at the going down of
the sun, on the mirage-hauntcd rim
of the illimitable spaces and burning
sands of an intcrminablc desert. He
was bronzed and baked by weary
days of pcrambulations under soils
tician calorics. Encircling his weary,
tlavcl-stained anatomical being in the
ipaulnated, bcneficient folds of his
blanket, this son of race vanish
ing i'll the dim distance, Frustrated
himself and his recumbent form was
soon securely reposing in the tender
embraces of Morpheus, the kindly
God Of slumber and dreams, undis-
turbed by the piercing bowls of
gaunt and furnishing wolves or the
screams of birds, Keeping nightly
vigils on the plains.
He awoke with the sun. His super
nator and branciulis unticus had ccas-
ed to ache i'll the region of the del
told, and the tibicalis posticus was
in full sympathy with the triceps and
the duodendum, and he resumed his
journey toward the setting sun.
