PENSIONS We like the plan of the adminis tration to provide insurance for the soldiers going to the front, in lieu of the pension system based on al leged injuries received while In the service. It Is a plan that should commend itself to the nation at large, especially those who have known intimately of the mass of unsavory abuse to which the pen sion system has led In years past. Tbe insurance provision deals in telligently with a very important social and economic question which every rational man who Is not fin ancially Independent has considered In time of peace. The one differ ence, in time of war, is that the gov ernment, not the individual, pays tbe life Insurance premium. Of course, provision will be made also for partial or total disability. In doing this the national govern ment will simply be keeping step with many advanced states which compel compensation for Injury as well as death. The new plan will establish a new system or pensions, paid for In ad vance by the present generation. r will do away with the old system so feebly safeguarded that with de creasing numbers of beneficiaries the sum total of pensions Increased. Few men who have given any thought to the question will dispute the theory that the best way to dis pose of the pension problem Is to meet it beforehand. The advantages of the plan 'are many, 8ome of them may be refer red to as: .

The doing away with hundreds of cases of governmental abuses lead ing to a corruption of public life and political elections. Better morale of the troops for the reason that many of them would go Into battle more willingly if they knew their dependents would be provided for. Making the same provision against death or disability In war times as rational people make in time of peace.

Only upon their safe arrival on Ruasisn soil was the information made pub- lie. ' It may be that here and there is a newspaper publisher who needs the lash over his head. If there be such, that lash can be as effectually wedded (by the united ac tion of newspaper men, their news gathering associations, advertising agencies and the like, as well as by using the unpopular, thoroughly un democratic principle of press .cen sorship. The question Is one that has been very thoroughly and vigorously de bated In Washington during the past six weeks. Every one concedes that the press must not be allowed to make public Information that would , be of military service to the nation's j enemies. And most people feel that If tbe American press can Impose this proper restriction upon itself, it 1 will be better than to have It lald(j on by governmental restriction. Pari. June 13.

M BREAKER IS A E BAYSE Two men are dead and another seriously hurt aa a result of the Jall breaklng efforts of a mad-man at Jacksonville yesterday afternoon. John L. Ragsdale, a Lake creek rancher who has been convicted 10 days ago of a criminal assault against his step-daughter and had been yesterday morning sentenced to the state penitentiary for from 10 years' to life, killed jailor Chas H. Bays and made a futile attempt at escape which ended In his commit ting suicide In a clump of willows only a short distance from Jackson ville. Only a few days ago Ragsdale had attempted suicide by slashing his wrists and was still weak from that Injury. He had planned his get-away with much cunning. About I o'clock he asked Bayse to allow him to tele phone. As he left his cell to go to the phone, he took a flat iron from a shslf In the Jail corridor and with It beat Bayse on the head, striking several murderous Mows. Bays died about two' hours later without regaining consciousness. With Hsyse'e keys and revolver, Ragsdale went back to tbe cells, un locked the one In which Irving Oh- ler was confined, ordered Ohlar to precede him and to "drive a car for him or he would let daylight through his body." He ordered Ohler to crank a car which stood In the street before the Jail, hut Ohler fnlleir and said he did not understand the car. Kagsdale then started off down the M i-d ford road, holding the pistol on Ohler whom he drove ahead of him. A group of boys followed shout ing and making so much racket that, when pursuit was finally started. It was easy to follow. Meanwhile one of the prisoners called from the Jail to employes In the clerk's office telling him of the escape. County . Recorder Chauncey Florey and Carl Newbury jumped In to a car and followed down the roud. J. A. Norrls, courthouse Janitor, fol lowing on foot. The boys who had followed the escaping men directed them to the path they had taken In cutting across a field. In the sud den stopping of their ear.,. Florey was hurled forward on his head In the road. He was later taken to the home of J. A. Norrls and did not recover consciousness until this morning. It was at first feared that hn had suffered a concussion of the brain but the physician now feels that he will soon lie out of danger. Newbury, who was armed with a small rifle, waited until Norrls caught up with him and the two started across the field after the men. Ohler promptly surrendered when ordered to and was taken back to the Jail.
