PARDONS AND PAROLES.
Reconimeiufttions of Attorney General
Davis for amendment of the indeterminate sen
tence and parole laws, establishing a procedure
to be followed by the board of pardons created
by the new constitution, appear to The' Bee to
be basically sound and worthy of careful con-
' sider'ation by Governor McKelvic and the stats
legislators. " ' .
. .. The attorney general's proposals cover three
main items: , . . v
' First Provision for thorough h
ana tun publicity on all applications for par
f " dons or paroles. f -
- : Second Limitation of the indeterminate
sentence by eliminating . crimes against the
1 .person or attempted crimes of this nature
... trom its scope. i .
Third Extension .of the power of the
courts to fix a minimum as well as a maximum
" ... sentence in cases covered by the indeterminate
sentence law.
Quite properly the attorney general up-
noias ,-tne principle 'Ot the indeterminate
. sentence. It meets' the need for a system of
administering the criminal law that gives con-
w - v v IMV V Ultima ill,! i (til
offender but to his possible, reformation. It
reeosrnizes that tlirre mnv fi tm nonitanA
- - u , f ...wv,
that man's soul may be purged of the evil once
within it and become clean, making him again
a nt memoer oi society.
But the attorney general recognizes also
that certain and adequate punisment constitutes
an example to others tempted. He recognizes
furthermore that punishment by law is civiliza
tion's substitute for private vengeance; if it be
allowed td become too lax.i the individual's out
raged feeling may take the law into his own
hands and mob law may result.
; In some details '-The Bee disagrees with Mr.
: Davis. It" doubts' the advisability of published
notice of forthcoming hearings on pardons and
i . - .i . . . . i i . t
paroies in mc county in wnicn xne crime was
committed. It inclines to believe that the pro
vision for notice to the judge, the- county attor
ney and sheriff of such county, with mandatory
orovision for recommendations from such offi
cials, constitutes sufficient notice to the com
munity and saves the applicant fromdanger of
"prejudice on the part of an organized minority.
.The probability is that the local officers can be
depended upon to reflect fairly the majority
sentiment of their respective communities as to
the propriey of the proposed clemency. The
...! : .L-i C
ec suggest, luriiicruiurc, inai provisions uc
made for application of the indeterminate sen
tence to cases involving crimes against the per
son, in cases of first offenders barely of legal
I age.
The problem of pardons and paroles may not
attract thr nprsnnnt intercut nf lecislators as
much as manv other ouestions before them, but
nevertheless it it important that they should
equip the new board of pardons with a pro
cedure fitted to insure justice, fair 'and equal.
- Who Pays the Taxes?
Occasionally some tory . of the old school
Will say privately mat iiu one uut laAyajrcia
ought to be allowedto vote, especially on ques
tions of issuing 'public bonds. Occasionally, also,
some incident arises to show that no one out
side of charitable or penal institutions can be
" classed as extmpt from taxation, n The arrange
ment between some apartment house owners
and their landlords by which rents rtse or fall in
accordance with the movement of taxes offers
such proof.
It is probable that there are some men and
Avomen who believe they are practically free
from taxation, tut this belief .gradually will be
" exDuncred if the custom of cassinst on or divid

in many cities, and without doubt wiU be re
sponsible for the saving of many lives, both of
drivers and persons afoot. The total of 3,803
persons killed in automobile accidents last year
represents 14.1 deaths out of each 00,000 of
population. There has been an increase every
year since 1915, and an increase of 245 over 1918.
But, to continue to look on the hopeful side
of this condition, the number of automobiles is
being enlarged each year. Fifteen years ago the
accident death rate was 8 per 100,000, and now
it stands at 14.1; in this same time there has
been a greater proportionate increase in the
number of ears. The attention devoted to pre-,
vention of reckless driving has had its effect, and
there is no reason to despair of a gradual mini
mizing of the dangers of . the road.

Mr. Burleson's Concluding Mistake.
Postmaster General Burleson's attempt to
shift part of the burden of the deficit of his
department on the shoulders of the rank and
file of the employes does not coincide with the
public belief that those in the mail service were
underpaid and are now getting no more than
they earn or need to maintain an American
standard of living. His effort to blame "paid
agitatop" for-iemoralizing the service by or
ganizing the government employes into protec
tive associations may also be considered as the
product of his pique over the success of the
movement for an increase in salaries.
Too often the natural working of human
nature is laid to agitation. 'More often the ex
pression of dissatisfaction and a desire for bet
ter conditions is spontaneous, merely pushing
forward men to be its spokesmen". In cases
where this is true, it is blindest folly to single
out one mam or a little group and load them
with the entire responsibility. '
Americans are not sheep, nor do they re
quire bellwethers when they : have personal
knowledge of questions at issue. Mr. Burleson
evidently aspired to be a bellwether and is cha
grined at his failure. This is not to say that
there "are no agitators or that controversy js
not sometimes stirred up by propaganda ema
nating not from a public source but a private
one. Agitators exist on both sides of the fence, and
by some the postmaster general might be so
classified. There are radical stirrers up of dis
trust and trouble as well as conservative. In
some instances men who perhaps see the oppor
tunity for a fat living pursue the" policy of at
tempting to scare business men and employers
with conjured up visions of blue ruin and red
destruction if they do not contribute to the sup
port of a counter-offensive of propaganda. On
the other hand there are men who paint a pic
ture of modern life as a desperate struggle in
which happiness -can only come from revolu
tionary changes in the wage system.
Both, these extremes must fall under suspi
cious scrutiny, for there is no real public senti
ment that gives birth to either they are patently
manufactured for personal ends. This being the
case, it is not only unjust but dangerous to
refer to every movement for moderate reform
or change as the work of agitators. Those who
occupy the middle ground, with their grievances
and desires self-contained, should not be en
couraged to regard themselves as radicals nor
Koaded by being put beyond the pale ot Amen-
canism. -
Mr. Burleson's manifest endeavor to escape
culpability by putting the -blame for the natural
result of mismanagement 'Onto somebody else,
cither congress or the organized employes of
the Postoffice department, is too transparent.
He showed himself long ago to be entirely out
of step with the times, and should have been
retired at the end of his first term. However,
he has the distinction of being the only member
of the first Wilson cabinet actually reappointed
and confirmed by the senate, so that a portion
of the responsibility for his record lingers
around the White House.
Cuttiar Down Automobile Death.
. More than 10 persons a day were killed In
. automobile accidents in the last year, according
...to the census report. There will be some like
the old lady, who read the menu of a meal that
Amitrf ha irvA fdr 17 ffnt and marvrlrrt tint

-"Truly, when tne sees the congestion of the
. streets In the heart of all great cities, the reck
less driving on the more open roads, and the
Mrurrvta nedestrians who do not always exer-
. rli the rfatet far at crossings, the marvel is
to be found in the fool proof developments of
the motor car.
..' And yet there it opportunity for reducing
-"the fatalities of. motoring. The traffic safety
'idrive now being waged in Omaha is duplicated
Between Ireland and England.
Conditions that have developed in Ireland
are a challenge to the government of England
so direct that it can not be much longer evaded.
That a city like Cork can be laid waste by fire
and sword without exciting comment through
out the world is incredible. When an invading
German army so conducted itself at Liege and
Lovain, a blaze of indignation ran through
America, and such surely will not cause wonder
if it is "now expressed at the destruction of Cork.
It is not enough to tell us that the disorder
over there is the outgrowth of fanaticism; that
may be understood. The entire Sinn Fein cam
paign, with that of the Orangemen on the other
hand, has been characterized by such exhibi
tions of bigoted devotion to a single idea 'as
seldom has been noted elsewhere in history.
Nothing will be gained by debating the causes
just now. The point is, how shall (the situation
be remedied and order restored?
England will not admit that a state of war
exists, for that would be to give startding to the
"Irish republic," which so insistently makes its
claims that it deserves the recognition accorded
to belligerents. Yet it does seem that the Brit
ish government, even though its attention be
distracted by other serious complications, should
find some more effective means than have so far
been employed to put down the disorder that
has 4S0 disturbed Ireland. 'Black and Tan" re
prisals wear much the same hue as the reported
outrages of the "murder bands," and the assas
sinations in Dublin are scarcely more repre
hensible than the burning of Cork. The Lon
don Times weeks ago referred to the military
forces in Ireland as being "perilously Indisci
plined," and events have justified the comment.
It may be that the Sinn Fein opposition is los
ing ground, as has been stated by government
authorities, but its last kicks are surely vigorous
enough.
From whatever angle the affair is .viewed,
the conclusion is natural that the interests of
humanity will be better served when the out
lawry now rampant in Ireland is squelched.
Friends of Ireland are as deeply concerned in
this as friends of England.

"DAYS OF REAL SPORT."
When the late Elbert Hubbard
was a boy In McLean county, Illi
nois, the prevailing custom, at least
among the people with whom he
was thrown in contact, was to make
luse of the services of "yarb doctors."
When a sick person consulted one
of these healers he was looked over,
sized up, his tongue, pulse, and the
"yallers" or his eyes were observed,
and he was told to "come back next
Friday for his medicine."
Then the "yarb doctor" went out
in the woods, hunted up some roots
and leaves and seeds, took them
home, stewed them up on the kitch
en stove, and when the patient came
back on Friday fie was given .a jug
ful of a vile looking, vile smeHlng
and vile tasting compound and told
to take a gobletful at a time.
These concoctions got Elbert Hub
bard's goat to such an extent that
ha ran hwpv from home, srrew long
hair, and became a reformer, an
antl-vaccinationist, anti-vivisectlon-ist,
antl-mediclne-out-of-abottlelst,
and generally anti-medic.
Had Dr. B. Fantus been Elbert
Hubbard's doctor when that
genius was "in bad," the explosive,
convention bursting energy might
have been worked off in another di
rection. Dr. Fantus has two axioms
ohniir Tnerllratln? children Which SD
nly to some extent to adults. They
are:
"A struggle in administration
sometimes does more harm' than the
medicine can, do good.
"The more' we know about medi
cines the less1 offensive is our medi
cation." , ' .

Ttfucoua colitis is a chronic condi
tion of the colon, attended by the
production of considerable quantities
of a mucus which is less moist and
more firm than ordinary mucus,
and which ofttimes forms molds or
casts of the tube in which it forms.
The disease generally follows pro
longed constipation. It is attended
by worries, introspection, neuras
thenia, and by pain when the casts
are coming away. It Is a very un
pleasant but not a dangerous dis
ease. - i

If it Is the oil and, bitters In coffee
which disagree with you take coca
cola. If it is the caffien which Is
harming you, take coffee from which
the caffien has been removed. There
are such coffees on the market. If
you want a hot drink containing no

or bitters, try the various cereal cof
fees until you find one that pleases

"Ghouls" of Business
Pessimism is sometimes practiced profes- , ti
. sioiiaLly. Certain little-minded, short
sighted men make their money by teed
ing on the carcasses of business they kill J
through slander and misrepresentation,, .
There are also the poor unfortunate".'
- jackals who carry these falsehoods and
get great pleasure in reciting the garbled
1 details to others. , ' . ',
Stories are current, for instance that
farmers are not going to . harvest their
corn; also that the, farmers are burning it;
that the greedy banker is forcing legiti
mate business to the wall, and they are
lies all of them, and if we would stop to -think,
we would realize they are just as
impossible as they are untrue; .
' The big, splendid banking interests of
this country are being wonderfully sane
and fair. They are and hay been easing
this country through the . strain incident
to this readjustment in a way that is a
little short of miraculous. The business
that ceases to exist as a result of present
readjustment in prices, will no more be
- missed than the man sobering up after a
prolonged debauch, will miss the visions
of his drunken imagination.
The farmer has prospered, and will con
tinue to prosper. Automobile-manufacturers,
tire manufacturers, legitimate
business of all kinds, 'will prosper, and
will continue to prosper. If you do not .
believe that conditions arey improving,
read your newspaper ;ind talk to your
banker, and remember that worry kills
-work is a life saver. ,
The next man you hear talking pessim
ism and hard times, interrupt him to in- .
quire what particular1 business under-,
taker he is working for. . ; .. ' i
