Garey is cashier. We are at a ' cross-roads In our policy toward crime and the crim inal. For a number of years there har? been a definite trend away from basic American ideas, namely, un hampered freedom for citizens who live within the limits of their con stitutional rights and fundamental laws. A new era has sought to cor rect every evil by passing more laws which apply to the law-abiding as well as the law-breaker. In the face of the known fact that crime is a psychological social condition that must be treated as a disease, we pass laws against inan imate instruments of crime, such as revolvers and pistols, thinking there by to correct the criminal. We might just as well pass laws against skating, duck hunting, fish ing, etc., on the theory that some persons would thereby be prevented from contracting colds which might lead to tuberculosis. The person who has committed a crime and the person who has con tracted a disease must be treated in dividually. We should not endeavor to make 10,000 normal persons live up to regulations for one sick or one criminal. FOR SALE Registered Duroc boars, large as sortment. OTTO SCHAFER, ol7-4tw. Nehawka, Neb.
