THE LAW AND THE CRIMINAL.
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. N t

The Bank and the Farmer.
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.

A WORD TO THE WISE.
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.

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.

The Height of Hospitality.
(From the Sample Case.)
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.

IF THERE'S FLU THIS
WINTER?
It is an open question whetlfer we
will have a return of Influenza this
winter. 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.

walls on the east, south, and west

the 'well known fact that the north
light is easy on the eyes. . Children
are forced to remain in those rooms

ounces of egg, one-third ounce of
bacon and 2 ounoes of roast veal as
an average amount of meat a day for
a sedentary man weighing about 160
pounds and in moderate flesh.
2. It is a fad. Man's digestive
organs are built on the basis of a
mixed diet.
3. Among the foods richest in sul
phur are eggs, oatmeal, whole wheat,
potatoes and leaf beef.
i". All those habitually eaten ; by
men are.
5. Yes.
6. Not exactly. Candies, eaten in
moderate quantity after meals are
not. Candy eaten before meals, up
sets the appetite. ' Eaten in excess
it tends to cause diabetes, obesity,
pimples, bad skin, bolls.
7,. Good ice cream prepared under
sanitary control is. wholesome. It
has two disadvantages, of. sugar, it
la too highly flavored and it carries
too much carbohydrates. ,' . ,
