An interesting phase of a pressing question was shown during the we&, when the judges and (he governor conferred over certain changes to be made in the laws. Particularly did they discuss the indeterminate sentence law and its effect on crime. Expressions at the time, as indi cated bj reports given the public by the par- ticipants, indicate a decided diversity of opinion. Certain of the Douglas county judges have, emphatically declared for the repeal of the law and the affixing of certain definite penalties f of different crimes. It is their contention that a trial judge has the best possible opportunity to know the circumstances of the crime, the nature of the, criminal, and is therefore qualified as no other can be to assess whatever of punishment is to be exacted. ." ' No serious effort will be made to dispute this conclusion of the judge. He represents in him self the majesty of the law, the expression' of the sovereign people, and to him all should sub mit. Another element deserves consideration, however, and to this the judges likewise sub scribe. The. law, while.' it. is inexorable, is also merciful. Society requires expiation from .those who transgress, and this must be provided for; At no other time does the judge loom with such awe as when he speaks in the name of all the people the doom that follows conviction. .Yet even then the judge knows that in ordinary cases that doom may be mitigated by .the. conduct of the culprit, and just as he evinces his contrition, ' so does the law lessen its pressure on him, until it finally sets him free again, to live' among his fellows and be governed a they art, by the law. The right to weigh and determine this quality of the penitence and reformation of he prisoner must De vested, somewhere. - - Such -power is not safe in the hands of one , man; individual inclination certainly' will lead. to abuse. How to guard against this is the big prob lem, and it is not one easy of solution. Humanity has been, engaged by it since the beginning. Some progress has been made, hut just as all our courts and other machinery of the law, and the law it self, are of human origin.just so- do they exhibit human fallibility. One of the judges, comment ing on the conference, said the trouble is that sentiment runs too' easily into sentimentality. This is only too true. A sterner quality should be shown in handling the question. X One who violates the law needs to be made to understand that he is an offender; a stigma should attach to crime, and the culprit has no right to expect to be received as if he were guilt less. He is not without hope of restoration,, but just as he feels' the humiliation of his situation so he will hasten the day of his final atonement. Anything less than this is an injustice to the prisoner as well as to society. It is not fair to the man earnestly seeking to reform to hold out to him elusive hope, and it is an outrage to per mit a hardened offender to shorten his prison term by pretense to virtue he does' not possess. This is why the judges want a return to the specific sentence, that they may make certain that culprits will know when they are in the dock that the law intend? to definitely enforce a penalty, and that they will not evade it by hypoc risy and sham penitence. ' The Bee still feels that the purpose of the in determinate, sentence law is good; any failure is ascribabli to the. agent and not to the law. But The Bee also feels that punishment for crime must be made certain, to the end that society may have whatever of protection can be derived from the wholesome dread of criminals that de tection will bring a sure and sufficient penalty. Anyehange in the law that will make this end a fact will have popular approval. Protecting the Home. . . ' A thousand young women at the University of Nebraska, it is said, are studying bow to be come horaemakers. Cooking, baking, dressmak ing, millinery, household management, . kitchen carpentry, home nursing and hygiene are re ported ttohare part of the time previously al lotted to mathematics,- language and other cul tural studies. .Who can say that the home in stinct is being broken 'down by modern educa tion of by rarifiedi intellectual theories when such a movement as; this exists in our higher institutions? - .......'. ' In truth, this is a departure from the old custom by which young women learned such of the household arts as they desired from their mothers, but it is-; good in that under the aus pices of the university the business of household 1 management cannot be degraded to a round of menial services, and petty, degrading duties. . It is time that the position of the housemother be rescued from any imputation of narrowness. To manage the finances of a family, to keep health and interest in life at the maximum, and to rear strong, capable and cultivated children is no un important lot ' Yet it is not merely scientific training that will preserve the dignity, of homemaking it is n&t altogether what women do, but that they find pleasure in doing it that counts for the most In competition with., the ever-widening field of feminine effort, means must be found to give the housewife, an interest in the daily household tasks equalling that found in any office or shop. To be able to ' cook well is one good quality, but it becomes much more beneficial if women know how to imbue their work with an en thusiasm that it seems almost to have lost Some promise of this lively interest! is to be seen in the voluntary enrollment of so many young women in the household courses of our state university. Important if True. Every now. and then some scientific gent rises up and staggers us with a fragment of knowledge, such as comes from the observatory J at Mt. Wilson, to the effect that by a new device diameters of stars can be accurately measured. As a proof the information is furnished that Alpha Orionus has Men found to have a diameter of 260,000,000 miles, a trifle over 300 times that of the sun. It does not say if this is the polar or equatorial axis; as it is fair to assume that Alpha Orionus responds to the same influences that affect alt fluid masses of globular form, we may take it that its poles are flattened, even as those of the earth. Yet what do a few thousand miles more or less matter in regard to-this? However, we may conceive that a controversy will be raised, not to be settled until some venturesome scientist has gone over the ground and verified the measurements. , The point is not a new one. As long ago as the days of Job it was up for consideration, and we find these questions being propounded to that patriarch and philosopher: Where was thou when I laid the founda tions of the earth? declare if thou hast understanding. ' Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or, who hath stretched the line upon it? , . . Canst thou bind the sweet influences of . Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? The device by which the diameter of Alpha Orionus was determined is reputed to be ac curate to .0001 of a second of longitude, equal to the angle subtended by the head of .a pin at a distance of 1,000 miles, if you are interested in a paralla of such delicacy. What most folks are now striving to find out is the relativity be tween the rent 'and the bank roll; if the angle subtended from the pay check will equal that of the household expense, and whether the diameter of the Christmas season is going to contain the mass of bills forecast by the, approaching ob scuration of the first of the month. V Y. When Freedom Didn't Shriek. Add to the list of disturbed areas which now spot the globe the name of Hurley, Wis. De fiance of the prohibition laws of the United States has been met with an armed, raid by enforcement officers who confiscated enough moonshine' to illuminate the whole north woods, and the arrest of some 70 men. The alcoholic content of Hurley undoubtedly exceeds the legal percentage of one-half of 1, and the condition there seems to have resembled that in the "perhaps mythical locality where he bootleggers had t wear, b'adges to avoid selling to each other. ' Word ' had gone out " to the world from the liquor dealers of Hurley that it was to be preserved as "a man's town for real men," and that the first prohibition agent to show himself, would be shot. ( The miscalculation which resulted in an event less' and peaceful roundup seems to have been caused by the very excellence of the bootleg gers' product. ' The thirsty lumberjacks who were counted on to repulse the officers, we read,, were paralyzed by their liquor. Such are the penalties of producing booze without reserva tions, for had there been somewhat less kick m the product, the1 defenseless bootleggers might have counted on stimulating the courage of their" constituents instead of drowninjbravery in the gutter: r " K ; At all' events,, it has been demonstrated that in this case the persons most interested in the preservation of "personal liberty" are the gentle men engaged in the illicit peddling of liquor and that their idea of "the pursuit of happiness" which is guaranteed by the constitution goes no farther than the privilege of profit.

A conference of farmers has heard from the local manager of the federal reserve bank some thing of interest with regard to that institution and its plan of operation. Under the law which gives it life, the federal reserve bank can not loan money to the farmer, or to anyone else, direct. Such accommodations must be -sought through the national, state or private banks, which in turn take the notes to the federal reserve bank where such as are approved are rediscounted. The whole transaction iollows an orderly course, the purpose of the institution being to provide a re liable method for turning credit into capital with out unnecessary delay and with as little hard ship as possible. One of the not unexpected results was a considerable inflation of money in circulation through the overcapitalization of credit -This necessitated some restriction, which was applied through the ordinary channels of business. The federal reserve bank called on borrowing banks to protect their discounted notes; these banks in turn called on the makers of the notes, and as they were able to meet their obligations, so did the business of the country prosper. There is nothing of magic in this, and no law can be of service in the way of providing relief from it. Debts must be paid, and only as debtors are prompt in meeting their undertakings can the1 wheels of business be kept turning. The farmer understands this as well as anybody, and those who are pretending to show him a royal rod out of .his difficulty, by enacting a law to sustain his credit are trifling with his common sense.'; " We knew the money would be raised to pay interest on the gas bonds. Maybe that is why the people refused to get excited over the con troversy. ; " ' " ' With -so many days assigned to this cause and that, the suggestion is made that some one proclaim a "mind your own business week." One comforting thought. for the day is that most of us have fewer things to swear off on than we used to. Chicago had forty-eight hours without a serious crime. How good the world is becomingl "Quiet holidays" in Ireland seem to resemble what is called aot in other places. County road paving will lose little and may' gain much by waiting till after January 6. ' Deflation is half completed, says a Philadel phia banker. All right, let's go!

Will Worry was a timid lad, Though wise beyond his years. Each time he read the daily prints It added to Ms fears. "There's nothing In this town." he mued, "But theft both grand and petit. The moment one has anything, Some bird will try to get it." Then Will received a Christmas Card On which was neatly typed r" That mem'ry Is a Treasure sweet From which nought can be swiped. So William took" his worldly goods .'N . And, with surprising ease And smoothness he converted them To taxfree memories. "Ah, now I'm rich, indeed." he thought, One night while walking home. When mean Yeggs stopped him, found him broke, And whacked him on the dome. Forever gone the memories dear, Forgotten all he knew: Which proves to those requiring proof I don't know what, do you ? K. M. S. AT its last meetinpr the Savants Cluir decided that the youthful bandit was a product of prohi bition. Formerly a young man regarded a lew drinks as an adventure.

V Art and Economics. (From The Athenaeum.) . We begin to note indications that the eco nomic pressure upon the liberal arts is rapidly reaching an extreme point The money of the world tends increasingly to be spent either upon the bare necessities of life or upon absolute luxuries. The arts are neither of these things. They are the necessities of a civilized life. The truly civilized are the' first to Buffer under the pressure of modern conditions, largely because they are constitutionally debarred from devoting the whole of their energies to the making of money, v They cannot maintain themselves- at their old level in the social system, nor can they safeguard themselves from a precipitous (all. They are largely unorganizable. It seems quite inevitable therefore that their marginal expendi ture on books, theaters, pictures, and music should gradually dwindle to nothing. That does not necessarily mean that the general expendi ture on these things will be greatly reduced; but that the discriminating expenditure must be. It Is by the discriminating expenditure that the artists or the better class are enabled to live.

In those good old days, days that most of our readers can well remember, the hotel was our six-day in the week home. We not' only slept in the hotel; but we took our every meal there also. Before and after meals, especially in the eVenings, we used , to sit out on the veranda, lounge around the lobby or writing room, and visit not only with the other traveling men, but with the - landlord and other local business men, yes, and often with the landlady as well. "FRENCHMEN," says Frederic Harrison in the Fortnightly, ' have two qualities in rare per fectiona logical perspicacity to follow out reasoning to its full consequences, together with an incurable tendency to suspect motives and aims of friends and foes.7 .

Even though there should be no nationwide epidemic, we will have local waves which here and there may be very disturbing. The normal March sickness rate is so very high as compared with that of the late spring, summer and au tumn rates that no much . exaggera tion of it- might be regarded as an epidemic. The Virginia heal'.li officials ap pointed a committee consisting of Drs. E. C. Levy, P. S. Schenck and M. G. Perrow to lay down rules for the guidance of schools during the prevalence of epidemics. This com mittee's report is before me. They begin by saying: "General sentiment among the leading sanitary authorities is that the closing of the schools is of little or no effect on the course of an epidemic of flu." They then add that not infrequent ly overwhelming public sentiment forces the closing cf the schools when the health officer knows that nothing is gained thereby. The re port is entitled, "How Can ,We Avoid the Closing of Our Schools if the Flu Again Becomes Epidemic?" Asi to the pupils the instructions are: "1. All DUDils must be thoroughly drilled not simply interested in not exchanging edibles, not exchanging pXpcils, books cr anything else. Not putting pens, pins, rules, fingers or anything else in mouth to turn pages. Not coughing or sneezing without putting handkerchief to face or turn ing face to floor. (This is the most Important single rule for pupils. This means each child must bring a clean handkerchief. It should be so thoroughly taught that the teach ers as well as the pupils should be at once cognizant of any violation.) "2. Pupils in every grade must be thoroughly taught the flu bulletins of the' state and local health de partments or such special bulletins as may be provided. i "3. Pupils must wash their hands thoroughly before eating at school. "4. They must wash their hands thoroughly after going to the toilet." Another section of the report re lates to the school., Each pupil must have 15 square feet of f loor space and 200 cubic feet, of air space and the ceilings must be 12 feet higlfNEach room should be thoroughly opened for airing several times during the day. ' The temperature must be 68 de grees Fahrenheit. , , There shall be no sweeping of rooms while the pupils are in the building. Each schoolroom must be provided with a small number of properly constructed gauze macks to ftfe used when cases suspected of being con tagious appear in the student body. ' ' i Children And -Convicts. J. McN. writes: "We have in our town a new school building from every room of which the direct rays of the 'sun 'are excluded. Brick walls on the east, south, and west effectively keep out every ray of sun shine. What do you think of this? I think it is a crima,. in spite of the 'well known fact that the north light is easy on the eyes. . Children are forced to remain in those rooms five days a week, six hours a. day, and nine months a year. In this place no vegetation, except toad stools, will grow, and yet the children are expected to thrtvo. Will they?" : REPLY. ' I agree with you. though I know of no statute under which these people can be punished.'
