REASON BY FREDERICK 1laan1s

THE papers tell Of the explosion of many pave
i ments.
highways in this country have been constructed under
circumstances which were bound to lead to explosions
sooner or later.
The confessions Of Witt and Hamilton In the
Jackson murder case at Indianapolis make the duty
of the court perfectly clear.
Both OF these fellows should get the chair.
When two men blandly go forth with all the
implements to accomplish robbery, when they go at
1t as business, prepared to kill their victim if he

pampered criminals it would not be safe for one Ia
step outside his house.
And as We got rid of snakes by the use Of the
ciup; so could we get rid of murderers by the use

world characters in and around Chicago against

Investigate This, Too

The grand jury of this county declares
that the poorhouse is operated in a. most
outrageous manner, that its unfortunate in
mates are terrorized and mistreated, that
poverty is punished worse than are crimes.
Two weeks ago sick and helpless for
mer inmate made exactly the same charges
to the grand jury and he is now in the penal
farm under sentence of 100 days.
Here, too Is something that needs not
only investigation but quick relief. The cir
cumstances strongly suggest that he was
sent to that prison not for offenses, but be-
cause he dared to protest against the condl-
tons which the grand jury says are vicious.
1t is most significant that no warrant was
asked for his arrest until after he had made
his charges. The offense charged was that
he tried to assault one of the attendants with
a knife and that he had liquor in his room
at the poorhouse The witnesses against him
we're the paid employees of the superintendent
whose removal is officially demanded.
If he had committed these .offenses, they
happened before he had been kicked out OF
the place. But these witnesses did not COM
plain of his acts then. They did not ask
warrant until he told his story to the prose
cutting officials and had gone to the grand
jury to appeal, not for himself, but in behalf
of all others whose necessities send them to
the infirnary.
There is every reason to draw the newt
able conclusion that this man, sick with
tuberculosis, was sent to jail for his protest
and not for his alleged crime.
The length Of the sentence and the ex-
traordinAry conditions under which it was
imposed would suggest that an inquiry by
the proper officials and at least a kindher at
titude toward those who dare protest are IN
order.
Tomorrow we celebrate the courage OF the
brave men who dared to revolt against the
tyrannies of king.
Just how far can we be sincere if we send
to a prison sick, helpless, almost dying man
because he lifted his voice against outrages.
Why not hospital and medal instead
Of a Jail and dishonor for this man?

Social Ignorance

EIFTY-FIVE governments, and no
Il two of them alike, or to come
closer home, forty-eight states in
the American union, and no two of
them wholly alike, in regulating
human conduct.
We have found it possible to dis
cover and apply scientific principles
In the hospital, the factory, or even
on the farm, but not in the court
house, or legislative hall. We are
not going to discover and apply
them there, either, until we have
more information for guidance.
Did you ever stop to think how
much greater pains we take to in
form ourselves about business, the
stock market and many other things
than about human beings?
We know how many freight cars
were loaded each day, but not how
many babies were born. Also, we
know how many shares of stock
were sold, and at what price, but
not how many people died of cancer.
What we don't know about our
selves is, perhaps, the most astound-
ing phase Of modern life. Inciden-
tally, it's the chief reason why WE
don't get along any better in a po-
litical, or social way.

Views of Times Readers

Editor Times: 1t is a matter OF
history that an eminent expert en-
gineer, as far back as 1921, testified
in court, under oath, that it is only
a matter of a short time that any
company would be able to furnish
natural gas.
This came to light when a gas
company in Cleveland attempted to
abandon it's franchise in 1929, be-
cause of it's inability to furnish gas
from both the Ohio and West Vir-
GINA fields and attempted to leave
the people Of Cleveland without
fuel gas and had to answer IN
court.
The gas question then became
quite a political issue and that in
stance may be a warning to be alert
and careful with the present at
tempted entry Of gas companies to
our city.
Cleveland at the time had 100000
users Of natural gas with its uni-
formity Of rates, the gas trans
mitted with an appropriate network
Of pipes, pumps, and equipment OF
the value of 100000, with an
equal investment for connections,
apparatus and fixtures by the users
The company involved was OF the
same type as these applying in thi;
city, serving a great number OF CT
ties and towns.
This may show that, to grant
privileges to new concerns, where
our present gas company is fully
sufficient, may be a bad bargain fol
the city and a mere subterfuge x
obtain a valuable franchise without
returns.
The Court in that case said
1.-THE public is best served by q gas
concern having the field solely Il
itself and not by competition.
Nov, Of course, with this trent

works. The germs of lockjaw de-
velop in soil and in manure and on
dirty clothing.
Any time an injury occurs in
which dirt is forced into the wound
and sealed in, there is danger of
lockjaw. That is the kind of acct
dent that occurs in explosions Of
cannon crackers, blank cartridges
and toy cannons.
Gun wadding is forced into the
wound and the germs of tetanus
or lockjaw go in with 1t. The size
of the wound is not important.
The tiniest puncture by q dirty
nail, a splinter or explosion may
cause the passage OF the germs into
the body.
There is just one thing to do
about lockjaw. Whenever such an
injury occurs, get doctor as soon

as possible. He will open the
wound, clean it thoroughly, treat
it with proper antiseptics. and in
questionable cases inject the anti
toxin against lockjaw to prevent the
disease.
1t Is not safe to wait in any case
until lockjaw has developed. After
Che disease has developed. immense
amounts of antitoxin are needed.
The condition is very serious. 1t is
accompanied by commissions.
The patient must be treated in q
hospital. Certainly here is one
condition, above all others, in which
prevention is far cheaper, much
more certain. and much more SEN
sible than a later attempt at cure.
So serious is the possibility OF
lockjaw that in many places boards
of health are willing to provide the
aptitoxin without charge, particu-
larly in the case of children, to
make certain that cases of lockjaw
! do not develop.
