The boy is a gregarious ami
NAL, like sheep, cattle, horses
and wild geese. He is going to
join with other boys in his ac-
tivities.
Did you ever know of one
lone boy who flocked by him
self who ever became leading
citizen, a power for good in the
world-or for that matter who
ever amounted to anything
worth while?
To accomplish anything,
boys must join themselves into
groups or gangs.
The people Of the community
are better off when it is not
gang that the boy joins.
The people of Keokuk are all
interested in having all the
boys in the right kind Of
groups, under decent condi-
tons, instead Of in gangs who
sooner or later commit depre-
dations or crime@it costs the
whole community to send a boy
to Jail or the penitentiary, not
only in taxes but in many other
ways.

denial of neglect of duty on his part in
connection with the death of James
Holder, an insane negro, who died after
having been beaten at the Julietta Hos

The coroner says that following an
inquest he presented the facts he had
gathered in person to the Marion County
grand jury. then under the control Of
Claris Adams prosecutor, whose dep
uty. W. P. Evans, is the Republican can
didate for prosecutor, and he also states
that he wrote a letter to the grand jury
asking that the death penalty of Holder
be investigated.
No report on this death ever was
made by the grand jury and no action
regarding It was made public either by
Mr.. Adams or Mr.. Evans, although the
matter several times has been called to
their attention.
At the coroner's inquest it was dis
closed that there was a bruise on the
side of Holders head, another on the
side of the stomach and deep dent in
the pit of the stomach.
A witness testified he had seen an at
tendanr at Jul1ettd VlclOuSly KICK HOlueF
previously to his death.
DR.. Robinsons denial of neglect in this
case was made to Paul G. Davis, Demo
cratic candidate for prosecutor, who has
been referring to the failure to investi-
gate the death Of Holder as one of the
evidences Of official neglect on the part
Of the present administration of the pros
ecutor's Office.
Mr.. Davis says:
IT stated in Saturdays Times that the
Republican coroner of Marion County
ordered no investigation to he made by
the Marion County grand jury of the
death Of James Holder. an insane negro.

vised me that he presented this matter to

and that be also wrote n letter to the
Marion County grand Jury asking that
Holders death be investigated.
mo indictment in connection with this
was returned by the Marion County grand
jury and no affidavit was filed against
any person by the prosecuting attorney.
Il ask the Republican prosecutor pub
licly to state what investigation his office
made OF the death of tois unfortunate
and what effort he made to bring the
meAter before the Marion County grand
tult after pr. Robinson's request that
Holders death should be Investigated. >

that he classified the applications.
That owing to the vastness of the
undertaking. the defendant was compelled

He also contended that ito have al

10 the applications and books would have
resulted in such confusion that Il would
have been impractical and impossible for
the defendant to prepare the lists and

Fesler hazarded the opinion that to
have permitted such an inspection at the
time his attaches we're making the lists
might have resulted in making il pos
sible for many fraudulent and Illegal reg
istrations TO stand on the poll books"
1t was in answer TO pleas OF this ma
ture that the court ruled that Fesler was
mistaken in his conception OF the right
OF the public to watch and safeguard the
applications from possible fraud.

Methods of registration of voters in

Simultaneous with the granting of a
court order compelling the auditor to
permit inspection Of public records, a
confession" that at least 800 false reg
istrations existed which was made by
Chairman Hendrickson. attracted con
siderable attention.
Hendrickson rushed into print to Eek
plain these false registrations as the
work Of a negro woman who did not
understand the law and who wrote
the names Of the persons registered on
the blanks instead of requiring the per-
SOILS TO sign the blank.
The fact that no Democrats were al
lowed TO inspect the registration blanks
by Mr.. Fesler Is understood to account
for the delay on the part Of Hendrickson
IN announcing this false registration IN
til the courts order made il impossible
longer to conceal the fraud.
In this connection 1t has also been
revealed that county employees ore being
paid at the rate of cents apiece fol
filing registrations, but that the 4 cents
is not paid to them when the person
registered is suspected Of being a Demo-
crat
The cents is. of course, additional to
the salary these employees receive from
the county. and in order to make any
money at the task, the employe Is com
PEELED to abandon the duties for which
the county pays him.
