INSURANCE MEN SAY
THEY find NO DRUNKEN
PEOPLE IN HOMES HERE
Of Many Homes Visited Not
One Case as Claimed by
DR.. Ramsay is Seen Here
ARE IN POSITION TO KNOW
v0 Drunken Women Seen by
Agents Who Make Regular
Visits Into Dwellings.

In further investigating the con-
dition of inebriety which exists in
the homes of this city, as claimed
by the Democratic candidate for
congress DIR. William f.. Ramsay,
an EVENING NEWS reporter today
interviewed several Of the insurance
Offices and brokers in this city whose
agents visit large numbers of homes
here. AS a result of these inter-
views it was learned that there have
been found no cases of intoxication
among the female or children mem
bers of the families. and as far as
they could see from the visits they
made to the homes. they said they
did not see any evidences of the use
of home brew to excess.
A representative of Alpern &
Company, i'm the Raritan Building,
said that he had not seen any con-
ditions that would point to drinking
In the homes. He said that as far
as he could see he did not notice
any evidence of home brew in the
many homes that he visits during
the day, and that if such conditions
did exist they were not noticeable
when he was there.
An agent of the firm of Fraser
Brothers, eos Smith street, insisted
that the homes he goes into during
his daily visits did not contain any
such conditions as the Democratic
candidate contended.
1t was the opinion of an agent of
the firm of Boynton Brothers that
during his short meetings with the
members of many families in this
city he did not see any signs of the
use of homemade liquor and if
such were the case he thought that
hA ctr oh ~ af
evidence of intoxication in some of
the homes.
While several of the other insur-
ance dealers did not want their
names mentioned, they told the re-
porter that as far as they could see
there was no condition that would
go to show the use to excess of bev-
erages made in the home that con-
tained any percentage of alcohol
The agents of the life insurance
companies were not in a position to
use the name of the firm for which
!, hey are working, but several of them
we're of the sentiment that they had
rot seen any such conditions as DIR.
William +. Ramsay had stated are
existing. They said that they visited
many homes in this city and over the
county. but did not notice any intoxi-
'dtlOn among tne members or the
antilles during their several visits to
he same homes.
1t was the consensus OF opinion
,mong all those interview that dur
1g their experience since the 18th
mendment went into effect there
ad been no excess drunkenness in
ne homes, and they said that as far
they could see there was no signs
liquor in the homes to such an
xtent that persons who had not
zen used to drinking before, drank
ow just because it was home BREW

member of the State Highway Com
mission to take effect November 6.
Mr.. Young refused to discuss the
matter or the reason why he is re-
firing from the commission. He de-
clared that the governor could make
them public. 1t is known that the
Morris county member has been de-
sireous of getting off the com mission
for some time, one of the reasons
being that he intends to leave for the
south to spend the winter there and
felt that he could not consistently
continue his public duties.

you recall that Il most priced possess

PARDoNS AND PAROLES.

The parole board Of the state
makes a-report which on the face of
it establishes the wisdom and hui
mainly of its own work and is inn
pressive as to the justice and success
of the parole system. According to
the statement of the secretary of the
board ITO convicts have been paroled
since last January l from the prisons
at Anamosa and TT. Madison. To
quote from the statement attributed
to the secretary:
Two parole officers check up, by
personal visit, the men on parole.
At this time of year the board sends
q great number of paroled men to
farmers of Iowa. 1t is a matter OF
record at the board Of parole office
That farmers of Iowa, who have had
experience with paroled men rec
ommend that their neighbors obtain
this type of employee. Every one of
the 2S2 men on parole has savings
account in the bank nearest his place
Of employment, according to reports
IN hand.
It is not to be assumed from read
ing that statement that the paroled
men are angels or even leading citi-
zens, but it may be safely drawn
from that record that the men who
are making savings accounts. earning
| wages on farms and elsewhere and
| behving themselves reasonably we'll
are better out than in the peniten-
| tiary and the public Is better with
| them out than in.
In considering the parole system
and It's workings it is well to remem-
her that convict who breaks his pa
role and is sent back to serve out his
| term becomes an object of news in
terest and that fact is told broadcast
by the newspapers while the paroled
man who settles down to make good
and renew, his citizenship neither re-
ceives nor desires publicity.
Every man who deserves another
| chance and has earned it by repen-
| lance and the fruits meet for repen-
lance brought forth should have it.
There is no worse human junk than
man or woman in prison without
| hope or desert. 1t is to be assumed
| that the parole board gives paroles
only to those who have evidenced
their human right to another oppor-
| tunity.
There is great deal of difference
between a parole and a pardon. We
have had recently one notorious in
stance in Iowa OF the pardoning pow
err improperly used. We have at pres
! ent certain instances of federal par
dons that under the facts appear to
have been not only unwise but inn
proper and "A defeat of simple justice.
