Attorney McHarg of Jamestown may
be chosen private secretary to Senator
McCumber, according to report. The
position was first offered to John Ship
pam, but Mr.. shippam's business
engagements at his home, Wahpe-
ton, are such that he could hardly afford
to accept the position. McHarg was one
of.the original McCumber men in the
senatorial election, and stayed with the
successful candidate until his election.
The jamestown man is a bright young
attorney, who stands well with the legal
profession and his acceptance of thespo-
sition would probably be for the pur-
pose Of availing himself Of the advan-
tages for the study Of law at the
national capital.

THE ARMY CANTEEN.
There is, question whether the army
reorganization bill abolishes the army
canteen. Congressman Johnson's
amendment secured3to the army reor-
ganization bill is as follows:
That no officer or private soldier shall
be detailed to sell Intoxicating drinks as
a bartender or otherwise in any post ex-
change or canteen, nor shall any other
person be required or allowedto sell such
liquors in any e~ncampment or fort or on
any premises used for military purposes
by the United States, and this secretary
or war ls hereby directed to issue such
general order as may be necessary to
carry n provisions of this section into
full force and effect.
One of the legal lights of the depart
ment has expressed himself thus regard
ing the amendments:
The provisions may be divided into,
two sections. The first is that no officer
or private soldier shall be detailed to sell
Intoxicating drinks as a bartender or
otherwise in any post exchange or can
teen; This section of the paragraph dis
tlnctly recognizes the existence: of can
teens under the direction, of the govern
ment, and it provides that in such can.
teens no officer or private soldier shall be
detailed to sell intoxicating drinks, The
government will, therefore, have to EN-
ploy some civilian. The second section
OF the paragraph is "Nor shall any other
persons be required or allowed to sell
such liquors in any encampment or fort
or on any premises used for military pur,
poses by the United States" This
merely confines the sale of liquor at the
military posts to the government-piyes
the governmental monopoly. There is
not a line in the paragraph which for.
bids the government from selling LIQUOR
at the posts.
AS the canteens now exist, and their
continuance is not forbidden by the law.
tthe army officials will, therefore, I have
no doubt, simply regard the regulations
under which the law says the canteens
are to be carried on-that is to say
allow no officer or private soldier to self
the liquor, and allow no outside person
10 q the canteens. The govern
future "a f has IN t ~ n 1a4.G ZEN !. IN sne
viii have to employ some e' person ens9l c otbsr
than q soldier, to sell the liquor.
While the anti.canteen amendment
was secured ,ostensibly in the interests of
temperance, there is radical objection
even from those interested, in consery-
ing temperance to the abolishing Of the
canteen. 1t is set forth by many army
authorities that where there are no can
teens the lowest kind Of groggeries are
established as close to the military
reservation as they can get. In the army
[canteeens nothing stronger than beer is
sold. There is absolutely no profit de-
rived fropm ga sale; by he person selling

sell the soldier more: than he ought to

HONORED A CONVICT.
His Fellow Prisoners Gave Him
Cane and an Umbrella.


TIL. leaving of Ernest e. Brooks from
the Maryland penitentary, after serving
four years and two months, was attend
cd by circumstances which have no par
allel In the annals of prison life. The
young Englishman was presented with
silver mounted cane and an umbrella by
his fellow convicts as tribute to his
manlness and rcctitude.
1t is all the more remarkable because
Of Brooks nationality and his social
standing before he was sent to prison.
He is well educated-a university man,
in fact. He comes of n fine family. He
has admirable breeding, which even the
convict garb and the prison life could not
tarnish. He was travelling in this coun-
try when he fell into the clutches of the
law. He had spent money freely, and
when he was staying at the Stafford ho-
tel, in Baltimore. he ran short of money.
lie expected remittanccs from England
and in anticipation of them forged
check for $50, which the hotel proprietors
cashcd for him. His expected funds did
not arrive. He was arrested. convicted
and sentenced to five years imprison-
ment.

They Wanted tn. Whipping Post

In advocating the whipping post
as a punishment tor Baltimore wife
beaters, the Baltimore American
has the following to say of the Della
ware law On whipping post punish
mcnt:
"Delaware has received much
criticism on account of the whipping
post law, which has been in force
some years in that State. On Sat
urday nine men were publicly
whipped at New Castle for the
crimes of burglary and petit lar
ceny, in the presence of about five
hundred people. There was no pre-
tense about the punishment. The
lash was laid on according to the
manner provided by law. 1t iseasy
to say harsh things about pun
ishment in this form, ands the
so-called humanitarians and the
representative have not been spar
ing in their condemnation. There
is, however, another side of the
case. The fact that Delaware has
tried this method Of punishment,
and refuses to repeal the law, is
evidence that experience has shown
that it is not advisable to abolish
the whipping post. There is moth.
ing more valuable in the study Of
crime than experienced in finding out
what method Of punishment is best
adapted to certain cases. Delaware
has concluded that applying the
cato -nine-tails to thieves is better
than locking them in jail for six
months and feeding them at the
State expense.
"The experience of wardens and
other experts, who have to deal di-
rectly with criminals, is OF vastly
more Importance than the theories
OF the supersensitive and the ex-
treme humanitarian. The punish
ment OF wrong doer must be made
to fit the crime, if society and the
State are to be protected.
