Stop This Grab

II FIFTEEN years ago the people of San
Francisco made bargain with the peo-
pie of the United States. The people Of San
Francisco wanted to develop water and cleo
tricity in the Yosemite National Park "Be-
fore we open the national park to you," said
the people of America through Congress, "we
want it distinctly understood that this water
and power you are to develop shall never be
turned over to private corporation. We do
not intend that our national parks shall be
married for private gain"
The people of San Francisco agreed that
water and power should be developed and dis
tributed by the people and not sold to a pri-
vate corporation for resale purposes.
Now San Francisco politicians are on their

CONSERVATION
OF PEDESTRIANS

|RESENT indianapolis traf-
fic rules are more favor
able to the motorist than
the pedestrian. Chief T,ikhoff told
the board of safety. He objected
to elimination of the change" in
terval from electric stor-and-go
signals. which has been suggested.
The change" interval benefits
the pedestrians. according to him.
and should be heightened instead
Of shortened to enable them to
cross the intersection in safety.
Perhaps Change" is for the
benefit Of foot traffic, but to many
motorists 1t is synonymous with
"go". An Indianapolis pedestrian,
who tries to assert his inalienable
right to saunter across the inter
section while change" is on, is
liable to hear his friends SAY 1t
with flowers"
Probably iengthening the inter
val wouldn't help him. He would
merely be assured a more linger-
ing death.
Certainly the lot of the pedes-
TRAN at ousy downtown intersec-
tions is now unhappy. If he tries
to cross in obedience to the signal
Of traffic officer or mechanical
cop, street cars and autos doing
right-hand turns almost tear him
asunder. If he prudently waits
for them to pass the signal
changes on him and he is
marooned.
In Los Angeles pedestrian by
raising his hand halts any ma
chine bearing down on him. What
would happen II an Indianapolis
pedestrian did that at o. Meridian
st. intersection during one-way
traffic? He might better fold his
hands acroos his breast and look
natural.
However, conservation Of pc
desterians is important in this
city, or they will become as ex.
tinct as the diplodocus or 7-year-
old whisky. Any scheme to give
them at downtown crossings a
run for their money is worth try
ing.

Farm Finances Better

uted. It Is principally found in
wheat, cotton and tobacco sections,
some Of which had very unsatisfac
tory yields the year before and in
some cases for two or three years
past.
Frofit In Midwest
Should you dr~w line from Chi
cago to Savannah, generally speak
ing, all north and east Of that line,
including also Wisconsin, show an
actually reduced income over the
previous year. This same condition
prevails in I'll OF that section of the
United States west and south of the
line drawn from Spokane to New
Orleans. The increased income lies
In the States within those imaginary
lines.
The largest gain has been felt in
North Dakota, where there Is a 95
per cent increase in farm income.
Oklahoma has 81 per cent in
crease; Kansas, 36; Mississippi. S5;
Arkansas, 81 per cent; ranging down
to a slight increase OF per cent
for Iowa.
"A loss in income of rs per cent
will be marked up for North Caro-,
lima; South Carolina. will suffer a
loss Of 81 per cent; Kentucky IS
per cent; Washington. IL per cent;
Idaho, IL; Oregon, 9; California. Z,
and Texas per cent"
In face Of the facts that winter
wheat is the smallest crop in the
last ten years and that more than
one-hfth of the area planted in win
ter wheat last summer has been
diverted to other crops, and other
discouraging situations that are
effecting the growing of foodstuffs,
President Bradfute is optimistic.
There has been a steady prog
ress for two years" he says. Farm
ers are in a better frame of mind.
Industries Interested
Great industric5 have shown a
developing interest in finding out
the true agricultural situation. This
is encouraging.
"Of added Importance during the
past year has been the rapid de-
velopment OF the use Of radio in
getting to the farmer educational and
economic information Of utmost i'm
portarce.

PAYING
THEIR DEBTS

@ALEB S. DENNY, secretary
ii Of the pardon board. re-
III Gently recommended to the
Governor that twenty-one paroled
prisoners. freed from State penal
institutions, be returned to serve
out their sentences because OF fall
ure to pay their fines in Install
ments as agreed.
Similar action will be taken
against other delinquents who
have violated the provisions of
their parole.
The frequency with which pa
roles are violated, and the re-
luctance of many prisoners to pay
their fines after release, indicate
that the parole system is large
ly a failure in reforming wrong
doors. 1t is principally a device Of
soft-hearted society TO tighten the
penalty for crime.
No more than a leopard changes
his spots does a malefactor under
go moral regeneration after
few minutes behind the bars. Yet
paroles are easily obtained on the
theory that criminals can thus be
quickly transformed into pink
cherubims.
In many cases paroles and leni-
ency are justified. But there IS too
much soft sentimentality in deal
ing with criminals.
Recently an Oklahoma judge
gave convicted bandit choice OF
public praying in church for Gods
help in living a better life or go
ing to the penitentiary for five
years. Naturally the bandit chose
prayer. Is prayer by judicial COM
pulsion likely to be effective?
What a, travesty.
One who commits a crime in
jures society. He should be COM
PEELED to pay for that damage to
the last penny in time or fine.
Sobstuff doesn't pay the debt.

Where did the expression "Wav-
ing the Bloody Shirt" originate?
In the twenty years after the
Civil War the Republican campaigns
were chiefly based upon the record
Of the party in saving the Union.
The Democrats, who were strongest
in the South. were denounced for
having brought on the war and for
supporting moderate reconstruction
measures, and much sympathy was
expressed by the Republican leaders
for the old soldiers who shed their
blood for the Union. These tactics
earned the expression waving the
bloody shirt" The phrase probably
originated from the nat infrequent
custom of exposing the blood stained
clothing OF the victim of a murder
as means of arousing public
vengeance.

FINDS CAUSE
OF TOMAH FIRE
Boyd C. Laid, Now
State Deputy, I'm
covers Facts In
Burning Mystery
(Ry United Press)

Madison.-W With the sentence of
Frank Beardsley of Tomah to a
term Of from to 5 years in the
penitentiary at Waupun the state
fire marshall department has I'M
travelled a singular fire mystery.
Buildings were burned on the
Frank Beardsley farm at Tomah on
March IS. Because of the large
amount of insurance carried on
the buildings, Insurance Commits
sioner Smith acted as state fire
marshal, ordering his deputy B. C.
Laid, Baraboo man, stationed at
Eau Claire to conduct a thorough
investigation.
The burning of the buildings on
the Beardsley farm remained for
some time complete mystery in
the community. Finally Deputy
Ladd discovered that upon the pur-
chasing of the small farm and
buildings that Beardsley had taken
out $4,000 of insurance on the pro-
perry and that the real estate
agents in the community testified
that they did not, consider the
buildings valuable enough to tear
them down for the lumber. Bear
<dsley was a relief telegraph opera
Ncg at Paymore.
SAn Investigation about the scene
of the fire made by Laid disclosed
burned matches of peculiar make.
1t was later found that Beardsley
had in his possession matches of
identical make Laid also found
near the farm a bottle of signal
oil mixed with kerosene. The in
vestigation indicated that Boards
ley was the only person in that
community who could probably
gain possession of signal oil used
by the railroad companies. Boards
ley also operated a gasoline motor
car on the railroad which took him
to work to the train dispatching
point at Raymore and the train
records indicated that an attempt
was made to give messages to this
station at about the time the fire
occurred, but that no one was at
the station to receive them.
Because of the popularity of the
matches found, the bottle of signal
oil on the property, and the non
response during the immediate pc
Rod before the fire began and the
over insurance, Laid ordered the
arrest of Beardsley. Later Chas.
Brown admitted on the stand that
he was present at the time Boards
ley started the fire and went back
to the depot with him as soon as
the blaze began. Beardsley plead
ed not guilty but on trial before
Circuit Judge Convey at Sparta,
Beardsley was convicted and SEN
fenced to a term of from three to
five years at Waupun. The case
was prosecuted by VIM. C. CLASS.
Beardsley was defended by A. G..
Wolfe of La Crosse.
