DENOUNCES JAIL SYSTEM AS BRUTAL

Amos Butler Favors State Penal Farm and Says Jails Are Worse Than ('auditions in Congo. Denouncing the results of the Indiana jail system as being worse than the horrors and atrocities of the Con go, Amos W. Butler, secretary of tin board of state charities, made a plea for a state penal farm, in an address last week at a membership meeting of the commercial club in Indianapolis. Judge James A. Collins, of the Indianapolis police court, added Ills eondemnation of the jail -system by declaring that €hb state of Indiana does more for its hogs at its public institutions than it does for “the unfortunate and disease ridden offender who is made in His image.” Air. Butler said that last year 36,380 men, women, boys and girls were admitted to Indiana jails, 15,000 of whom served sentences or laid out fines. There they lived in idleness at the expense of the tax payer. They learned vice, immorality and crime. They became educated in criminal ways, and degenerated both physically and morally.

The banner J township of the county for tihe month was Carpen-terv-with an attendance of 96.20[0 Cillain awl M-arion were close seconds with an average of 96.1hj0. r l'he average for the county for the second month was 94.08o!o, as against ,95.8010 the Jirst month and 94.8 for the second month last year. Now that the busy season is about over parents and children should a special, effort to bring the average of attendance hack to as( good or better than the first month. Parents should make an effort to visit the school, get better acquainted with the teacher, and see wihat their children are doing. It Is surprising to note the number of parents that know nothing about their school except when there is some trouble. Many times the superintendent is told by the -teacher that not a single parent has been to the sdhool. Let this condit ion be changed, and the parents, both father and mother, visit their school and encourage both the pupil and teacher to put forth their best efforts. It would also he well if more of, tihe old-time hospitality existed and the teacher , was. more often invited to go home with the children and spend the night there. In this age of special jy.Rt ion we art* forgetting that each I must takf an interest and help to cooperate in the work of all. County Superintendent.

During the past year the work of organizing the state was ably done and Jasper county has an active organization, which., is strengthened by the selection of a vice-president in every township. These vice-presidents will be used in pushing the sale of the .Christmas seals put out by the Red Gross Society of America. The money all goes toward the fighting of tuberculosis and this year 75 per. cent of all the money realized from the sale of sbals will remain in the county where sold, being placed in the hands of the county organization. In Rensselaer and Marion township, Mrs. A. A. Fell will have charge of the seals. They will be on sale at each of the drug stores and she will supply large quantities direct. The seals can be used attractively on Christmas packages and on the backs of letters.] Every, one you purchase is that much' toward the noble work of fighting the great white plague and 75 per cent of it will remain in Jasper county to provide such treatment as may be needed by sufferers.

Advises Other Democrats To Get On the Band Wagon.

.T. A. McFarland called at The Republican office a few days ago to say that he was not a candidate for the postoffice, but, like Eli Gerber, was for N. Littlefield. He said that the only candidates he knew about were F. E. Dabcock and Frank Hoover, and he says that he thinks they should get out of the way and let Air. Littlefield have the place. "He deserves the office,’’ said Mr. AlcFarland, “and you can say for me that I think the other candidates had better withdraw and create democratic harmony by climbing on to the Littlefield band wagon.”

Judge Hammond Loaned $20 To a Needy Winamac Editor.

Winamac Democrat-Journal. The Rensselaer Republican states that Col. E. P. Hammond, of Lafayette, is directing a suit to set aside a will involving an estate valued at about a million dollars, real estate in Benton county. Col. Hammond commanded a regiment during the civil war and along in the seventies he was elevated to the bench. One time while he was holding court a Winamac editor called tthe sheriff aside and whispered in the officer’s ear: “Kindly see the judge and tell him I want a temporary loan ;of twenty dollars.” The sheriff walked right up to the judge’s chair and delivered the editor’s message. Judge Hammond without hesitation drew Torch, his purse and handedover the cashr which was safely transferred to the borrower’s hand. I wish to add that the judge, later, was repaid in full for the loan. Bonds having a face value of $140,00Q and checks that disappeared at Kansas City July 5, last, when two registered mail sacks were stolen while enroute from the postoffice to the railway station, were found by three laborers Friday in the city dump. The bonds wefe In good condition.
