Tho patent leather question had been a
burning one for some time, however. Mrs.
Shaw had made a special call on Shoe
maker Palmqulst to Induce him to use the
shiny leather, but tha latter had politely
refused, saying that he could not make It
perform the peculiar office necessary to
correctly cover the secretary's feet.
nut the last letter bore a command.
Make -them at my risk.- said the secre
tary, -try the experiment." So Palmqulst
labored and succeeded, and the other day
he received $16 and the secretary's thanks.
Life of His Foot.ear.
It Is curious fact that while "Leslie M.
Shaw was directing his energies to the
lsw and the banking business he used to
wear out four or five pv.lrs of shoes each
year. After the oratorical Inundation of
l!8 and the governor s chair was consid
ered none too good for him, the yearly
consumption of shoes dropped off percepti
bly. Jt actually got down to three the last
year. But now In the cabinet position It
appears the secretary uses his feet even
leas than when ruling Iowa, for he has
worn out but two pairs since railed to be
a presidential adviser.
There was a time when Mr. Shaw thought
seriously of hav In his shnea mane .lu.
where than In Omaha. This was Just after
nis election as governor snd before he left
Denlson for Des Moines. He railed on
Palmqulst and demanded his wooden lasts,
which were handed to him. He placed
them In a suit rase and said that Inasmuch
a he was going to live In a city, he would
let some Irs Moines shoemaker do the
Job. The r Moines shoemaker, whoever
he was. tried and failed, and within a year
the lasts came bark to Paliruiuiat. who
I hilly expects to keep them for life.

SHERIFF'S VIEWS ON CRIME
Text of Piper Bead by President Btelner
Before Sheriffs' Convention.
STARTLING INCREASE IN OFFENSES NOTED
Fl.urrs elhat Tell a Most I'nwelcome
lory aad Soma Coaelnslona
Drawn by Sociologists and
Criminologists.
John Stelner of Dubuque, la., president
of the Interstate Sheriff's association,
Thursday morning delivered an address be
fore the society on the subject of the in
crease of crime In the United States, In
which hs said:
"A recent article In a sociological Jour
nal aald: 'Crime and pauperism do not
present an attractive subject for study.
They are on the dark and forbidding side
of human life,' but it Is our duty, as
sheriffs, to study these questions, no mat
ter how unpleasant they may be. It does
not contribute to our self-complacency as
a peopls to be informed, as we are, that
more crimes were committed In this coun
try in 1903- than ever before In American"
history; that the number of murders In
creased 12 per cent in a single year, while
the Increase in suicides was much larger
those among women being actually trebled.
This is a kind of record-breaking which
we might surely wish to be spared. The
total number of murder and homicides of
various kinds for the year was ,834, aa
compared with 7,883 in 1901. A remarkable
feature In this connection was the remark
able Increase in murders committed by
burglars, thieves and highwaymen, ths
number being 13. as compared with 193 In
1901. The lynchinga reported in 19tC show
a decrease, being but 96, compared with
135 In 1301. The record of embessllng, for
gery, defalcations and bank wrecking for
190! ahows a considerable Increase, the
total amount involved being 6.789,125, as
compared with li.WC.569 In 1901. The losses
are distributed aa follows: Stolen by public
oTtctils, $rtl8,ta8; from banks, r!.R10,33O; by
agents. tl.033.S41; forgeries, Ii39.630; from
loan associations, 471.400; by postmasters,
V.yH; miscellaneous stealings, tl.437.694.

"Facts and figures bearing upon this
same subject, but of still more weighty
and significant character, and a wider scope
hi time and area, are given out by Dr.
Arthur McDonald of the United States
bureau of education. As a result of his
investigation, he declares that within the
last thirty years, throughout the world in
general, 'there has been sn Increase, rela
tive to population, in crimes, suicide, in
sanity and other forma of abnormality.'
According to Dr. McDonald, thoee of our
own states that show tha greatest educa
tion and intelligence, aa the north Atlantic,
central and western, also exceed tn In
sanity, nervous diseases. Juvenile criminals
and pauperism. But thla apparent differ
ence la due, tn our opinion, largely to the
fact that more care and vigilance are ex
rctaed In looking after paupers, criminals
and Insane persona lu these states than In
other sections of the union.

Food for Reflection.
"In ths midst of our rejoicings and mutual
congratulations over the big crops, good
wages, abundant employment, general pros
perity and freedom from war and pesti
lence, this ghastly record as to our own
country obtrudes Itself with startling and
ominous significance. Regarded from any
point of view social, humanitarian or re
ligious It may well 'give us pause,' It may
well set our educators, legislators, religious
teachers and social reformers to thinking
deeply and searching widely for causes and
remedies. As to causes and remedies no
one Is now In position, It seems to ua, to
make positive and dogmatic statements.
Many things and many Influences contribute
to the situation, and it is hard to say which
are largest and moat dominant. Hon. O.
Shaw Lefevre, an English writer. In treat
ing of thla subject as it relates to England,
where crime and pauperism are Increasing
faster than they are here, attributes it
chiefly to 'hard times,' lack of employment
and 'the Increased coat of the rtvessltles of
life.' None of these, except the last, is now
operative here. In Dr. McDonald's opinion
the increase Is due more to rapid develop
ment of the world in general than to any
tptclflo cause. "The high pressure of mod
ern civilisation,' he says, 'puts an abnormal
strain upon the nervous system as com
pared with the muscular system. Thus the
electric car, automobile and telephone tend
to make people exercise less and think
more. A reaction has, set in already through
the development of systems of physical cul
ture. The less cost of living and the In
crease of wealth, with the luxuries of the
table, have tended to overeating, which. In
connection with the lack of exercise, has
had its evil effects and doubtless procured
an additional reaction upon the nervous
system. When the nerves are unstrung by
overpressure the will may become weak,
depression and pessimism set in and losa of
self-control follow, with Its consequent ab
normal actlona, leading to crime and other
social evils.'
"This Increase of nervous tension. Dr. Mc
Donald thinks, is chiefly accountable for the
Increase of crime and Insanity among
women and youth.
Dae ta Faalry Kdaeatlea.
"Without aaauming to know of a cer
tainty what are the leading, or all. of the
contributing factors In ths present Increase
of crime in this country, we venture to be
lieve that, in the lajit analysis, they may
be found In that lack of moral training
In our publlo schools which President Eliot
has recently pointed out with so much
fores snd truth; In the greed for gain, mad
scramble for wealth, to which our present
prosperity only seems to add a keener test;
to the lsx and unwise administration of our
Jails and prisons, many of which are flt'y
characterised by our ablest penologists as
nothing mure thsn 'schools of crime;' to
the enormous flow of low grade immigrants
to our shores, larger lust year than ever
before; to the unchristian attitude gener
ally assumed by Christian society toward
ex-convlcta; snd, lastly, to the procedure of
our criminal courts and the methods and
practices adopted both in the prosecution
and defense of criwlnala.

would Justify separate and extended treat
ment. We can only dwell briefly upon the
last, which, in our opinion, is among the
chief of all. A significant fact bearing upon
this very point Is furnished In the state
ment that while there were nearly 9,000
murders and other homicidal crimes in 1902,
there were only 144 legal executions. After
counting out the few states where capital
punishment is not Inflicted, and allowing a
large margin for the increasing indispo
sition of Judges and Jurors to visit the
death penalty upon any one, we still lack
a sufficient explanation for the fact that
not one homicide in sixty in 1902 suffered
the extreme penalty provided for this
crime. J2.as
Delays of Justice,
"But worse than all else. In our opinion,
is this matter of criminal procedure, nre
the interminable delays In criminal cases,
the methods followed In the make-up of
trial Juries, the extreme latitude allowed
to lawyers In tho defense of criminals, and
the technicalities and subterfuges resorted
to In securing appeals, new trials fciid re
versals of Judgment.
"New York Itself has furnished several
notorious and flagrant examples of abuses
of this sort during the past year, cases
where there haa been a clear miscarriage
or perversion of Justice simply becauas
lawyers and Judgea have seemed, to care
more for the 'anise and cumin' of legal
procedure than they have for the interests
of society or the punishment of crime. It
has come to pass that no matter how
helnoua a crime may be, how clear, posi
tive and Indisputable, to the lay mind at
least, may be the Incriminating evidence,
no certainty whatever can be entertained
that the criminal will ever bo adequately
punished. With means to Command a bril
liant array of legal defenders to fight his
case from court to court, up and down and
back apd forth, through the whole Inter
minable aeries, - the actual merits of it are
soon lost to sight In a conflicting mass of
'expert' testimony, a bewildering mose of
technicalities, quibbles, precedents, rulings
and opinions, while months and years go
on and no one suffers for the crime ex
cept the victims of it, while not a few de
rive substantial profit. A long list of spe
cific cases before the criminal courts of
this country in recent years might be cited.
If necessary, in support of these assertions.
"We believe that these delays and uncer
taintlea, these never-ending haggllngs and
qulbbllngs ' in criminal trials, these fre
quent reversals of Judgment on purely tech
nical points, operate as a direct and positive
encouragement to some kinds of crime and
are more responsible than any other one
thing for their present Increase. If the
other criminal claasea reason on these
things, snd it la reasonable to suppose that
they do, they may well take the ground
that no matter what the offensea they com
mit, they stand more than a fair chance of
escaping punishment, providing they em
ploy sufficient legal talent and kick up
enough legal dust to obscure the course of
Justice and deliy final Judgment until death,
oblivion or the ordinary accidents of life
bave disposed of them In some way more
regular If not more kindly.
Geaeral Effect ej Practice.
"All this applies with special force to
crimes against property, where, as the
statistics show, the Increase is rreatest,

WANTS A POLICY ON PATTI
MUwaakee Manaser Fnable to Secnre
Protection Against Fallare
to Appear.
Manager Oscar F. Miller of Mllw.-ukee
Is trying to get an Insurance company to
Insure the life of Mme. Patti for hree
months and a half, the time that will elapse
before her appearance In Milwaukee. He
made application to three companies and
has been notified by two of them that they
cannot write the policies without sn ex
amination. The Milwaukee agent of one
of tho companies held the question open
until he heard from the home office.
"I have paid la advance half the 11.500
I guaranteed for the Milwaukee concert,"
said Manager Miller, "and under the con
tract a large share of the money advanced
Is forfeited in case she Is prevented from
sppearlng here by accident or death. It Is
to protect myself that I want to Insure her
life until her appearance.
"In Kngland they have companies which
Injurs for a short time without examina
tion. I am inclined to think that there Is
no company doing business in America that
will do it. If an examination is Insisted
upon It will cause several weeks' delay.
Aa all managers who have made contracts
with Manager Grau for Patti concerts de
sire to carry Insurance on Pattl's life for
a short time. It seems to me that some
American, company would find it to Its In
terest to writs tha policies." Chicago

WIDE TIRES FOR ASPHALT
Greater Width of Heavy Vehicle Wheolt
Advocated at the City EalL . ,
NARROW RIMS HARD ON THE PAVING
Leading; Ksalneers Dlsenss Advan
tages that Conld Come from Bach
an Innovation Were It Intro
duced tn Omaha.
In connection with the tondltlon of as
raaU atrcets, the subject of wide tires has
been bro jght up at the city hall and a
considerable agitation toward better pro
tection in thla manner is under way. Most
of the leading cities of the country have
ordinances specifying minimum widths for
loads of various weight, tut Omaha has no
such law. During the lust ten years sev
eral attempts have been made to get such
an ordinance passed, but they have failed.
A well known cntlncer recently cold:
"It is a well understood fact that narrow
tires for heavy load are terribly destruc
tive to any kind of, street pavement, no
less than to the maintenance of food
country roads, and there is a general ten
dency to require by law that all tne wagons
and other vehicles used In tram,portlng
heavy loads shall be equipped with tires of
sped (led width. With tho growing use of
asphalt pavements, however, lhs is more
than ever Imperative.' Chicago has an
ordinance requiring tires three inches wldo
tor all loads of 3,000 pounds or over, but
additional wldttu for extra heavy load
are being urged.
City engineer's view.
City irineer Rosewaler (Joe a not take so
serious a view of tho uumugo done by
narrow tires, but agrees that they are
inimical to the long life of (.aviments of
all kinds. "The subject is a f ood one for
the Improvement clubs to sgltate," he
says.
"The wagons of the larger ttaoatr and
drayugo companies in Omaha bavo three
Inch tires, but ure frequently loaded to the
extent of five and six tons, which In tne
Judgment of engineers should require tires
from four to five Inches wide.
"Another cause fur the dlalntegrutton of
asphalt which Engineer Ilosewater la
urging be prohibited Is the Indiscriminate
and excessive sprinkling, which he says
Is done by a private concern having a
monopoly on the business and making
contracts direct with the people served.
"The sprinkling Is under no regulation."
says the engineer. "Many times the
asphaltum la kept moist all day. The mud
and the water Is allowed to stand and
given no chance to dry or evaporate. It la.
Injurious. .
"The charier gives the city the right to
divide It into sprinkling districts and con
tract for the service to the lowest bidders.
This plan would have certain advantages,
smong tbem being that the nonresident
property owner would be compelled to pay
for sprinkling before his properly, whereas
business men and others who desire ths
sprinkling have to stsnd all the expense.'
