Maintains "Jimmie Vogus' Should Have Received Pardon.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Sept. 27. State's prison here recently lost one of Its two most famous prisoners, JimmJe Vogus, who served 33 years of a lile sentence for shooting to death Ms father. The other famous prisoner, William E. Hinshaw, former minister and convicted of murdering his 'vlfe In Hendricks county ten years ago, today wrote in pulpiteer style about his dead prison mate. "Man's inhumanity to man," is what Hinshaw calls Vogus' Record of one visit every six years, one letter from the outside every six years. "That his family forsook him and his friends forKOt him," continued the former minister, "signifies nothing except that human nature is often very frail and thot out of sight in many cases means out of mind; it has nothing to do with the principle involved the laxity or bcth church and state in showing mercy and granting clemency when their is no powerful friend to plead nc any public clamor for the cause." Undoubtedly pleading his own case, whlC't has come up for consideration many times before the pardons board and governor, Rev. Hinshaw argued that Vogus should have been pardoned oven though guilty of murder. "What could be more illogical than that one convicted of crime should be compelled to establish his innocence of the, crime in order to get pardoned for it. Clearly this is not the ground upon which the constitutional right of a governor to grant pardons is based. That right Is based upon the broader premises, and it recognizes the principle of real and substantial justice, even when justice is softened by the exercise of mercy; it recognizes the possibility of - genuine reformation and the merits that may rightly be won by long and continued devotion to duty, by strict and humble obedience to those In authority; it recognizes the just recompence of reward that does and should go to a rnan who proves by years of good conduct that he is master of himself. "What did Vogus' good conduct get him? If meritorious conduct is to count and if it is to be known among prisoners that it does count, we must admit the exception- in the case of this old man." Remindful of the days when he was the leader of his own church and married young people and buried the old, the minister-murderer said at the close of the funeral of Jimmie Vogus: "With the unnumbered millions he has taken his place of last repose, and now he sleeps peacefully in the silent tomb of man, the bosom of mother earth. We turn away from his final

Comslock Building

The Morrisson-Reeves Library bears the name of two honored and public spirited citizens, Robert Morrisson and Caroline M. Reeves, who gave this beautiful building for the purposes of a township library. It, however, has always been maintained by township tax and is for the free use of every citizen of the township. It is now forty-nine years since the original building was erected. It con

tains over forty-three thousand volumes and is the second public hrary in size in the state, as well as the second in age. Here is a great plant for educational purposes, for which thousands of dollars have been spent, where every citizen of the township is welcome and has a right to come and be courteously received, where any young man or woman may spend the evening in perfect security and comfort in reading

for information or entertainment. If it is not directly reaching every man, woman and child in the township, it is not because there is nothing here for them. Here are books for readers of mere literature, books for farmers, for poultry raisers, for housekeepers, for artists and mechanics, books for everyone. A room is devoted to the children. There are seventeen hundred piano player rolls for circulation. There are mounted pictures for

the schools. If you are not getting

something from it, come and ask for what you want. During the three days of the Fall Festival the Library wishes to receive

within its doors all the citizens of the

township. If you are already a constant patron come for the sake of the benefits you have received. If you have never entered your name to draw books, do so at that time.

School officials In Beverly, Mass., recently calculated the money gain for their pupils in vocational education. They found that an expenditure of $800 per boy in industrial training had raised the capitalization of the boy's economic value from $6,000 to $15,000 or $18,000.
