The Times nurse told me about this theft of the garb first. I shuddered and thought she must be exaggerating. So I watched the business for myself and found she had really lightened the shadows. Then came the talk with. the "garbage watchman and his leons story.

do the kids steal the garbage?" he said. Well. when I drive away from the cans they say they are hungry. And good they eat the stuff as if they were. Sometimes they hang into the garbage wagons and try to pick fruit and bread and things like that out of it.

The drivers have to crack them away with their whips many a time. And, of course, I back the drivers up whenever I'm around -and threaten to have the young ones arrested. "One little chap got killed by a garbage wagon last winter while he was trying to fill his pockets out of it. "Bun the old woman are the folk that hardest to swear at and keep away from the garbage. They mostly brings buckets and baskets and fills them from the cans dowr on market street back of the stores and produce houses there.

But I find them up on Capitol hill, too, prowling about in the alleys and helping themselves to the things they find in the cans. What do they do with the stuff? Why, take it home for the folks there to cut, so far as I can make out. "Dreadful, did you say? Oh, I dun110 about that. They find it lots better than going hungry! But, of course I stop them whenever I find them at it. For the folks that gets the garbage concession from the city can't stand for having it stolen away on 'em Naturally." -Denver Times.

NEWSPAPERS THE MEDIUMS Lay it down as a safe proposition that the merchant who advertises in the right mediums regularly, persistently, in season, using good copy all the while is bound to succeed -bound to build a mighty trade. The right mediums are the newspapers, They get among the people morning and night. The whole world turns to the newspapers for its news, its personal gossop, its entertainment and current information of the doings in finace, trade, society--in every sphere of human endeavor and diversion. The most successful business houses to-day are successful advertisers. They stand as towering monuments on the broad highway of trade, pointIng with silent finger to the premier position the newspapers holds in -the realm of commercialism.

The great success of that merchant prince, John Wanamaker, was achieved through newspaper advertising. In his early career Mr. Wanamaker put his profits into the newspaper to tell the readers what he was doing and what were his aspirations. He selected the best mediums-t he home papers in both city and country. -and used space day after day--except Sunday--and kept at it with the regularity the seasons.

He leaves to mourn for him the wife and mother of all his children, together with the 8 surviving children and four brothers Not long ago, in a certain city of central U. a young man was arrested. It was recorded on the police books that he was a "suspect." Inquiry developed that he was suspected of being a burglar who had shot a detective.

The young man, however, did not know this. He was locked up in a cell. No one was permitted to communicate with him, and he was not permitted to send word of his condition to outsiders. This was the first step in the administration of the famons police "third degree." Now, theoretically, this young man was entitled to a public trial at which he should be confronted by the witnesses against him and at which he in should.be privileged to introduce witnesses in his own behalf. After his all arrest, he was presumably permitted to be permitted to consult with friends or attorneys regarding the plan of his defense.

Police activities should, theoretically, have been confined to a search for evidence in support of the opinion that the prisoner was a murderer. The accused man was specifically protected by the law from being required to testify against himself. So much for the theory. What were the facts? The young man was permitted to lie in jail undisturbed for a day. Then he was told that the chief of police "Wanted to see him." He was taken to the chief's He was asked innumerable questions, to all of which he made answers.

These questions and answers were taken down by a shorthand reporter. The chief worked with the prisonar for several hours, but could not induce him to confess that he was a murderer. At length the chief began to wither under the strain. Than an assistant took up the examination. He was no more successful, and so the victim was turned over to another member of the police depratment.

The examination, If such it may be called, continued with interruption for hours. By this time every person who had any knowledge of the case had bern worn out trying to induce the youth to give incriminating evidence against himself, and all had failed. At 3 o' clock in the morning the man who was then conducting the "sweating" told the prisonar that he might take a nap. He was allowed to sleep 30 minutes; than the "sweating resumed." It continued for most of the day, the police finally temporarily abandoning the effort to make the man admit that he was a murderer. At the end of the ordeal a newspaper found opportunity to interview the suspect.

His statement shows the possibility of inducing a man to say almost anything that. tormentors desire to have him say. "I can hear everything they say to me," the prisonar exclaimed, I am dreaming all the time. While they were questioning me I could see a feather bed with soft pillows and a warm blanket. I was trying to get to that bed, but something was holding me back.

When I looked at the long table in the chief's office it would turn into all sorts of things. Once it was a river bank lined with soft grass. I was trying to lie down there under a big tree, but I could not move." With regard to the 30-minute nap that he was permitted to take' the prisonar gave an explanation that indicates this was merely another chapter in the process. "That nap they let me have," he said, "was the worst. torture yet.

It was just enough to make me want more. I would rather have been killed than have been awakened when that half hour was up." Studebaker Automobiles. E-M-F -30" 4 cylinder. 30 II.

Reneau and Sons. McDonald, Kansas. E-M-F There is certainly no warrent in law for subjecting a man who is suspected of crime to any such torture as this. Will anyone argue that there is any' other legitimate excuse for it? Can it be justitied? Most assuredly not! But this case is not an exception. The practice is common.

Thousands of men are similary every month of the year. Why? Because the police desire to "ma're a record of couvictions." An unconcerned public, permits its police to profit through crime.
