larceny. He was tracked to a wooded
place near Qiiencmo by the city mar-
filial of that place , which Is situated
40 miles southwest from Fort Leaven-
worth , and a dozen men bearing rifles.
An order to surrender wns met with
defiance , and Lewis , unarmed , and al
though practically surrounded , darted
for the nearest opening. He had
gone scarcely 100 yards when a bul
let from a Winchester , In the hands
f one of his pursuers , pierced his

and people along the route are afraid
to venture out of their houses. In

"Tho" plan was to 'slip a stiff' Into
some hotel , then set flro to the buildIng -
Ing after having left papers of mine
In the pockets of the stiff's clothes.
Of course , when the hotel burned we
expected the stiff to be burned up , too ,
or at least so scorched that no one
could recognize him. "

PRISONS THEIR TOPIC ,
President Fuller's Annual Address Be
fore Wardens' Association.
Kansas City , Nov. 11 ! . Delivering
his annual address before the war
den's association at the n initial con
gress here of the National 1'rlson as
sociation , Otis Fuller , president of the
association and superintendent of the
Michigan state reformatory , said :
"The good citizen must stand between
the state Institution ami the political
plunderer. "
Mr. Fuller had spoken of the
mighty strides America had made In
the past decade and asked : "Is prison
management keeping up with the pro
cession ? "
Continuing , ho said : "I think that
In most respects It Is. I am sure that
In one respect It Is not. I refer now
to the political brigandage , which Is
still prevalent In a few states the
bold , bad brigandage which ruthlessly
seizes not only the prisons , but all
the other public Institutions and holds
them for political ransom. Honest ,
clllclcnt , wise and humane prison
management cannot reach Its highest
stage of development until the out
raged taxpayers and the humanitarian
takes the ward heeler by the throat. "
Mr. Fuller said that prison reform
must start further back than the pris
on. It must educate the lawmakers.
"It must above all , " said he , "wipe out
the pernicious fee system which gives ]
the constables so many dollars for ,
arresting a fellow dtl'/on , the justice
of the pence so many dollars for con
victing him and the sheriff HO many
cents a day for feeding him or starving
I
ing him , as his humanity or avarlco
may dictate. "
The fee system , ho declared , was a
blot on the fair pages of the 20th cen
tury. Mr. Fuller urged a more Intelli
gent discrimination between first of
fenders and hardened criminals.

ful man is acting. When he {
speaks he uses words , but he J ;
tells facts. He seldom , however - ; ;
ever , depends upon his own < >
voice.
He brings to his aid the trumpet tongucd
voice of the press.
He purchases space in the
advertising columns of his local
paper , and he uses it to good
advantage.
This is your local paper.
There is space in these col
umns for use. Are you add
ing its strength to your voice ?
Properly used it will aid you.
