If these men are not entitled to the
protection of their government, if they
do not deserve the succor of their gov

not worth anything. II may be that
the men exceeded their discretion in
the attempt they made TO apprehend
Bergdoll, but that is not sufficient ex-
cuse for permitting them 10 languish

The lack Of interest displayed by

FATHERS SONS

Minneapolis Journal - Wrapped up
IN every boy are possibilities hat no
human being can estimate. 1t is well,
therefore. that the elders of Mime
apolis should devote a week 10 taking
stock OF their boys, who will be the
leaders or failures, or middle ground
ers. For generations we have been
repeating the old saw; it is a wise
son who knows his own father. Dur
ing that time the world has progressed
much faster than u philosophy, IN
til We may add this one: it is a wise
father who knows his own son.
Sound your boy right now and e
what he can tell you of this life. His
knowledge is as varied as the con
tents of his pockets. He knows the
birds and flowers, and can tell you
the exact spot in which to find each
specie. He knows the good neighbors
along the street far better than you
do, for il is the natural instinct of a
boy 10 read the heart of men. He

in the backyard that may some day
develop to the establishment of the
world. He is natural; the heart still
rules his world, for he is only a step
from mother. 1t is only as he goes
among men and their artificial worlds
and false notions, that he loses his
God given naturalness.
"Only a boy'-and yet tomorrow
you may look for him in the front
ranks of city, state and government.
Even now he is turning over in his
mind plans for a bigger and better
world to live in, than his father has
enjoyed or suffered in.
The question naturally arises, what
are the fathers doing to help their
boys? Are they themselves leading
the best life they can; are they build
ing a tame and a character that will
live; are they clean and honest, or
are they only making money and gath
ering the material things of life to
hand down to the family that follows
after?
Woe betide the boy whose father
does not offer him the object lesson
Of character, honor, loyalty and love.
These are things that are passed from
father to son, and which all the money
in the world cannot buy.
Tomorrow fathers will be leaning
on their boys. 1t is timely wisdom,
therefore, that they consider whether

FORGOT EXECUTION
MAY FREE PRISONER
Sheriff Forgets to Hang Negro at
Baton Rouge and He May be
Released Later On.
(By Associated Press)

Baton Rouge-Lonnie Eaton, the man
the sheriff forgot to hang, may be dead
legally. Attorney General Coco ad-
mitted today he didn't know; but re-
ports from Ouachita parish prison
where Lonnie has been taking in legal
ly or illegally, his regular three
squares day ever since his execution
was mislaid by Sheriff Grant Febru-
airy a, do not indicate that his appetite
has suffered because of his possible
demise Sheriff Grant wrote the gov
ernor yesterday that in the press of
Civil and criminal matters" February
a he utterly forgot the mandate to
put the negro, convicted of the murder
of a white man, to death on that day.
The sheriff did not know what to do
about it. He had no warrant to exc
cute his prisoner on any other day and
asked for instructions. The governor
turned the matter over to Attorney
General Coco who is raking the law
books for precedents. It was said the
once in jeopardy principle of law
might prevent any execution. In the
meantime, the negro is physically alive
and the board of pardons still has be-
fore it an application for clemency
in his case.

ASK THIS COUNTY
TO RAISE SlS,5OO
Report on Proposed New
Building Made Public
on Tuesday.
RACINE BOARD ACTS
Votes to Appropriate $31, 500
and State Will Give $4,000 to
Aid Proposed Work.

Kenosha county will be asked to APP
propriate $18,500 for the building of
the proposed dormitory for the Racine
Kenosha County Training School at
Union Grove. The amount of the APP
preparation to be asked for for dorm
itory was made public on Tuesday af-
ternoon when the members Of the joint
committee representing the two coun-
ties appeared before the county board
of Racine county and presented its
report and recommendations. After
the report had been discussed at some
length the Racine County Board APP
propriated $31 500 as its share of the
cost of the new building with the un-
derstanding that the money would be
available when the appropriation had
been made by Kenosha county. The
same committee will appear before the
Kenosha county board on Saturday and
present a similar recommendation. 1t
is believed that the Kenosha board will
make the appropriation asked and pave
the way for the erection of the new
building.
VIII Cost $50, 900.
The members of the committee in
their report to the Racine county
board estimated the cost of the new
dormitory at between $4,000 and $780,
900. They asked that the money be
made available SO that the work on,
the building could be started without
delay. 1t was shown that the state
would furnish as state aid for the
project the sum of $4,000 to be avail
able when the counties have made
the appropriations named.
ut is of especial interest to Kenosha
county that the new dormitory be
erected at once" said Richard Dowse,
one of the members of the committee
from this county. at is needed more
than anything else to house students
from Kenosha county and many of the
young women of the county are ready
to enter the school if proper living con
ditions are provided for them"
Will Ask For Plans.
While two sketches have been laid
before the committee by Racine and
Kenosha architects the committee plans
to ask for competitive plans for the
proposed dormitory and it is believed
that half dozen plans will be offer
ed. 1t will be stipulated that the
building must be completed within the
appropriation provided by the two
counties. The plan suggested is
dormitory of fifty rooms with parlors
and recreation rooms for the use of the
young women students. The members
of the committee of the two counties
were unanimous in the decision that
the work of the school can not attain
its full value without the erection of
the new building.
