Much Of the discussion IN the COM

The resolution is as follows.

the governor and the pardon board not to
parole NJ A Wilson. of Rawlins. who is
now praying for parole, blending in eX-
tenuation his age.
We do not believe such criminals reform,
but are turned loose and again prey upon
the community and make it unsafe for
women and girls not only to walk the high
ways. but to remain in their homes alone
We further believe that when the tax
payers have once committed such prison
er that they should not again have to incur
the expense Of recOmmitting them
We are therefore unaIterably opposed to
any paroles for such criminals under any
and all circumstances. Signed

little dispatch from Pittsburgh the
other day told of the suggestion of
Harry Kerr. of Baltimore. to the effect
that every member of the "Kiwanian"
in the United States add one more
employe to your payroll this winter"
as a means of aiding I'm the solving OF
the unemployment problem. Mr.. Kerr
is international president OF the XII
wants clubs. He was speaking before
the annual meeting of the Pennsyl-
vania district OF this organization.
The successful business man will
say Cant do it-unfair to stockhold-
ers-poor business-w. suffer "a much
as anyone"
Let the successful business man"
ask a few OF his stockholders how
they feel about ft-but then. they may
not be successful business men" II
the successful business man is alone
in charge OF his business affairs, let
him forget that he is successful: let
him become as one without success;
let him do a little poor business; per-
haps 1t would do him good morally.
or another may say: Those thus
employed would be bur a drop in the
bucket-it would do little good"
Well. let them try 1t. See IL the
movement does not spread. See If
there are not enough men in the world
in this country-willing to put that
one drop in that bucket7
Another. smaller business man. will
say IL would eat up his profits. Per-
haps. II so he is not wise to follow
the suggestion. But let him think a
little. Has he prospered by being al
ways short handed? Just for an ex-
pertinent let him try adding one en-
ploye. Let the motive be half selfish,
half aItruistic. 1t will do the new en-
ployc just as much good. Perhaps the
merchant win find that he has built
up the patronage of his store by mir
ing the extra man.
There are many ramifications con-
corning the suggestion. Not one
thought aiming to better matters for
the unemployed should be cast aside
as worthless without some thought
about IL.

THE CITIZENS DUTY

Every citizen of or resident I'm this
city has n certain duty in regard to
the tragedy OF the Wrinkle death.
II In impossible to look up every
resident here. IL In an easy matter for
every resident 10 look up police head
quarters.
Any person. therefore. who saw
have been lying in the cellar of the
saloon. Friday night. Sept 1s.. should
report the matter to tho police.
The Herald has found few who
claim they saw him that day. and has
published tho fact. Today n con-
temporary makes great cutlery because
90 claims to have found another. The
man had nothing special to tell about
the crime. except the fact that he saw
him.
Others. who saw him. may have
noticed something peculiar about his
actions.
The Herald stated days ago that
people had been found who said they
had seen tho man outside the cellar
whore. according to inference at
least, according to the confession of
Kaixowrki. he stayed all day. The lat
tor Confessed that he took him out
side about s:30 that evening. This may
be true despite the fact that he was
seen on the streets during the day or
In the early evening.
But IL scarcely seems possible that
Wrinkle could have left the saloon
after being carried into the cellar by
Kaikowski and Mich. without being
seen by the proprietor. or others. And
IL he was seen by others that day. II
10 hardy probable that he did not tell
some of them about what had happen
cd that morning.
The information that yoI, an honest
man or woman, may have about his
doings that day Is information that be-
longs to Justice-that belongs to the
police. Do not let your fear
OF getting mixed up in II" keep you
from telling tho police what you know
or Wrinkles actions that day. or of
what no said. You will be doing
wrong that may cost another life IL
you refrain: you will be doing that
which In but just and right to your
neighbor. yourself and your city IL
you tell voluntarily anything you know
about the matter.
