More Press Comment on the Bartley Parole
Urand Island Democrat it la simply in w hl h the World-Herald fears Is to be
r.oncclvablo that any newspaper could en- "pounded into a pulp puts a sentimental
dorse tho Hartley parole, nnd more ospe- side en tho matter, and the heartache In
dally Is this truo of the Omaha World- that family Is of course very sad, hut not
Herald. That n pen to Rifted and so able any more so than In any other family where
as that of the editor of the Wcrld-Hcrald, the thought of clemency Is the more ills
a pencapablo of Inspiring such noblll'y of tant nnd whore perhaps It may be the most
thought and deed, such beauty of exprea- deserving. There Is one consideration and
slon and sentiment, could bo turned luto ono only that Justifies clemency with Dart
channels to out of harmony with Its prls- ley, and as to tho wisdom of entertaining
tlno vigor and virility, is one of the mys- that consideration many honest people will
terles of the day. Hartley Is a criminal than differ. It Is tho practical consideration that
whom nono blacker ever stepped Inside the Hartley may be able to return to the treaj
penitentiary wall. Those who would con- ury a great deal of the money that dlsap
dono his crime by the statement that ho was peared and which the state would lese en
inado a dupe by others unconsciously add tlrely If he should bo kept a prisoner for
to his condemnation, for It amis 10 mo mo poriou or ms sentence. The Hub Is not
blessed with a bountiful harvest, he would
have realized upon every dollar and would
have been considered a wise financier and
a public benefactor. Hut the crop failed.
Tho hard times grew worse. Hanks failed,
our best business men went to the wall,
Bartley had to suffer for It all. No, If we
sympathizer with crime, tho staunchest
friend of a criminal, could only shield him
from his punishment for his crime, or free
him from prison after ho wns Imprisoned.
Tho people of Nebraska, so far as results
are concerned, do not care whether Gov
ernor Savage prostituted hit executive
havo the correct conception of the case we power to the freeing of a notorious criminal,
crime of theft tho guilt of helping to shield
his pals. Hartley declares that ho will
not leave the stato and with brazen Im
pudence that he has done nothing for which
think Governor Savage has dono the proper
thing In granting a sixty-day parole to
Joe Hartley to glvo him an opportunity to
collect tho money which he loaned and
to pay the same back Into tho treasury
where It rightly belongs. Bartley felt
that to give the names of the parties at the
time of his trial would be of no financial
benefit to the state and he preferred to
sufTer alone and In silence. We are not
In favor of a pardon at this tlmo. We do
approve of the parole. And If Mr. Hart
ley will now give the public a detailed
statement of all his transactions and pro
ceed to collect every dollar obtainable and
place tho same In the treasury the Vldettc
will sign a petition for an unconditional

Not ono. Hut Hartley will pay part of
tho money that he stolo back to the state,
says ono of his friends. Wr.nl If ho will?
Does that remove tho stain of his crime?

the same line? No doubt many of those
Incarcerated for larceny would gladly pay
back tho amount stolen (If they had It)
In order to gain their freedom. Hut nono
of them are pardoned with that end In view.
Where. Is Hartley to get tho monoy that It
Is said ho Intends to pay back?
Stanton rickctf. lnt It obout time,
Governor Savage, that you let the people
know what Ml. Hartley's future Is going to
be? Isn't It tlmo you let them know tho
conditions under which that sixty days
parolu wns granted? This In a public mat
ter and tho pcoplo havo n right to know tho
wholo truth. Those pcopl" elected you,

destroy that conf-donco by delay. If you

or pried asunder, In the darkness of the
night, with a cracksman's lever, the doors
of tho state's prison and thus freed Its
prisoner. The results to them are the
same, and they descry but small difference
In the moral features of the two deeds. It
Is the purpose of every wise law, and It
should be the purpose of even a tolerable
administration, to make It as easy as possi
ble to do right, and as difficult and un
profitable as possible to do wrong.
No party can commend Itself by profes
sions of correct principles while Its officers
make It their policy to slap the faces of
those who do their duty and reward those
who are guilty of high crimes and mis
demeanors. Columbus Telegram: Let us not be hasty

him there for political effect until after

always shrewd, but the Telegram Is In

As predicted In The Bee of yesterday the
city council got together and reorganized.
This makes tho third time since the April
election that committees have been named.
When the first council organized after
election tho body wns composed of only
four members and two places on tho com
mittees were left blank. Then came the
appointment and confirmation of Johnston
and Vansant. This caused another reor
ganization. As there has been more or less
friction between the members of certain
committees lately It wns agreed at a meet
ing held Saturday afternoon to reappoint
tho committees. Miller was the only coun
cilman who did not participate In the cau
cus of Saturday. Although he was Invited
to be present he declined. Another meet
ing was held yesterday afternoon and a
list virtually agreed upon.
When Councilman Johnston arcsc to an
nounce tho fact of an nmlcablc agreement
nnd read the list of committees all mem
bers of the council voted for the list with
tho exception of Miller. Thcu there was a
balk ln open session nnd a short recess
was taken. Miller said that he was en
titled to the chairmanship of two commit
tees nnd ho refused to vote for the new
llet unless he had his way. l'rcsldent Ad-
kins stated that bo would like to have
tho unanimous vote of the council on the
rtorgnnlzatlon and with this Idea In view-
two chnnges were made so as to give Miller

The much-talkrd-of stock yards sewer was

wns read from W. J. C. Kenyou, general

that there is a lack of sanitary sewers on

portion of this street have an outlet Into

KNOCKOUT DROPS FOR HOGS
Lowell Adair. Fugitir, Etolvei Unique
Flan f.r Theft of Porkers.
HE PUIS THE SWINE TO SLEEP
Curt Ml.sonrt llninrliunka to Mnrket
In the Enrly Morning;, hut the
Sleep U Too neeply Set nnd
the I'lnlnh Is Ilnil.
A convict Is at largo In Nebraska who
has the distinction of having fed knockout
drops to Missouri rnzorback hogs.
Lowell Adair, who escaped from tho peni
tentiary at Lincoln Friday, devised a now
method of stealing hogs which promised
to revolutionize ancient methods of theft,
but ended very disastrously.
Adair was visiting some pats at Savan
nah. Mo last year. Their funds ran short
nnd they concluded to uinko a raid on hog
pens In tho neighboring country. It was
found that the hogs were unwilling to bo
loaded Into wagons without letting out
squeals that threatened to awaken every
body tn the county.
Adair suggested that the nnlmals bo
chloroformed and produced n phlnl of the
anaesthetic. It was only n few minutes
until a wagon loud of the Missouri porkem
ha J bean silenced and was on Its way to
market.
Chief Doniihur Tells the Story.
At daybreak tho hog merchants drovo Into
the stock yards nt Savannah nnd offered
tholr pork to a dealer. Tho animals woro
well behaved nnd had worried so llttlo In
triveliuc that they seemed to be In flno
shsne. Adair kicked the lazy porkers pro
naratory to exhibiting them to the buyer.
The animals did not move. Tins were stuck
Into them, but they refused to wake up
from their beauty sleep.
Ilalher than attempt any explanation the
thieves made their escape and left the
dead animals as a monument to Adair's
now Bcheme for silencing hogs.
A short tlmo after his Missouri escapade
Adair showed up In Omaha. He forged a
chock and was Bent to the penitentiary.
At tho tlmo of his conviction for forgory a
charge was also pending against him for
burglary.
Adair's picture, measurements and de
scription came to the attention of Missouri
otllcers nnd they Identified him as the man
who was wauled for the hog stealing.
Adair has only ono hand and can bo Iden
tified so easily that the Omaha officers
think It will ho but a short time until ho
Is captured and returned to the penitentiary.
Tho roan has a record ln both Omaha and

William Prlesman of 1126 North Twentieth
street, manager of the South Omaha Boston
More, was shot In tho ankle by Wiley
Hlckey, colored bartender of Lou Russell's
snloon, Thirteenth and Dodge streets, while
paBSlng tho place last evening. Hlckey shot
at two white men who had threatened him,
but tho bullet went wide of the mark and
hit Prlesman, nn Innocent passerby.
At McDonald, a laborer, and an Intoxi
cated companloa had n dispute with Hlckey
tn Russell's saloon and threatened him. Mc
Donald's partner started for Hlckey with a
big knife, Ho drew a revolver to dofend
himself and, as he claims, accidentally dis
charged tho weapon. McDonald mixed up
in tho row then and was knocked down
twice by Hlckey. The man with the knife
escaped from the place.
Emergency Officer Duldwln was passing
on a street car and saw tho commotion fol
lowing the shooting, He Jumped from the
car and arrested Hlckey and McDonald. In
tho meantime news of the shooting had
reached the police station and tho patrol
wagon was sent up on a hurry call.
Tho bullet struck Prlesman, who was
passing tho saloon with a friend and knew
nothing of the quarrel, in the joint of tho
right ankle, inflicting a serious wound. He
was removed at once to tho pollco station
emergency hospital and 'attended by City
glum. Dr. Ralph said the wTflind was dan
gerous and he considered It probable that
mo uso oi tno root would be lost and that
ii mignt even ha necessary to amputate it
I'rlcsmnn was taken to the homo of c

Wiley Hlckey, the bartender, has a good
reputation for veracity nnd Is not known
as being vicious or quarrelsome. His vpr
slon of tho quarrel with tho two drunks
and subsequent shooting is generally be-
novea.
George Williams was arrested at mid

Considerable routine, business was trans
acted by tbo Board of Education at Its rcg
ular monthly meeting lust night.
At tho outset Superintendent McLean re
ported at pome length upon the matter of
ext booka, making somo suggestions as to
tho kind and numbers needed. Mr. McLean
said that ho found that two and three kinds
of books In the same studies wero in use.
Ho believes that only ono kind should bo
used. Three kinds of geographies nnd three
kinds of readers nro now being used. His
Idea Is to cut down the number to one
standard book and use It exclusively. Prof.
McLean stated positively that ho was not
'boosting" any particular brand of books,
but bo desired uniformity. Acting upon this
suggestion all of the old books will be
taken up and exchanged nt the rates
usually allowed school districts. Tho board
will at once proceed to ascertain the num
ber of saloons now operating without license
and a request will bo made to tbo city
authorities to either have this license money
collected or tho placcB closed. It was re
ported to tho board that these saloons are
running without having gono through the
formality of tnklng out licenses: Twenty-
fourth and Q streets, 2723 Q street, 2(102 N

Although tho question has been up over
since the city was divided Into six wards
tho council has taken no itepa to deslgnato
any additional voting precincts. It will be
necessary, so It Is stated, to locate two
voting places In each of the. elx wards. At
the present time only nine precincts are
recognized and these, of course, will have
to bo changed when the change Is made,
Thcro Is going to be quite a little talk over
this matter, as members of the council have
not been able yet to reach an agreement
on tho matter. It Is settled that there will
bo two voting precincts to each ward, but
whero these will be located Is tho question
now before the council.
