rise up to a man and demand that
that officer be releaved of his posi-
ton. But every day of our lives we
trust our little children to strangers,
and before doing so, we place in the
with which they may exact obedience
hands of these strangers, the lash,
-yes-obedience to their own sweet
will. Parents as long as they permit
corporal punishment in the schools,
authorize the teachers to resort to
that method of maintaining disci-
pline." The argument that corpo-
raj punishment is not often used-in
fact Is dead letter and can do no
harm--is as silly as most of the ar
guments used by advocates of physi-
cal violence. 1t Is not worth serious
consideration. If corporal punish
ment is good let us have it, good and
strong. If it. is bad, let it go the
way of the rest of the family, the
whipping post, the thumb-screw, and
the heritic's stake. They are all
catalogued together. They are trip
let's. They have the same origin and
we hope will have the same destina-
ton.
The present Board of Trustees
have an opportunity of winning the
appreciation of the people of Cald-
we'll; they can secure the gratitude
of the children; they can achieve the
freedom Of the teachers; by one
stroke Of the pen. Let thin lay aside
prejudice and forever abolish corpo-
raj punishment in the Caldwell pub
lie schools. The Tribune believes the
Board will do it. We hope it will.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.

Two new members of the Board of
Trustees OF the Caldwell public
schools. were recently elected. The
Tribune is well pleased with the good
sense exercised by the patrons of
the schools in electing such promi-
nent, substantial and patriotic citi-
Gems to look after the interests of
the public schools. The people of
Caldwell are to be congratulated.
They acted wisely for once. The Tri-
bune is convinced that this day marks
the dawn of civilization in the Cald-
we'll public schools. We are convinc-
ed that experience has taught the
new members Of the Board of Trus-
tees that corporal punishment Is flu
tile. and cowardly. If that outra-
geous scheme is not ended now, The
Tribune win be sorely disappointed
In the new members. The tendency
of the twentieth century is away from
physical punishment. Indeed. the
word punishment is becoming repug-
nant to the better classes Of people.
Penitentiaries are becoming asylums
in which the vicious members of So
cie.y are confined for society's safety
and their own betterment. The mill
lennium has not arrived and conse-
quently some of US have the impress
sion that by means of punishment the
vicious are terror-stricken and re-
frain from crime. We do not believe
that any man ever refrained from a
criminal act because of fear of the
physical punishment that might fol-
low. 1t is the love and beauty and
happiness Of Christ-like lives that are
saving the world. He'll and all her |
furies has never made a Christian.

they have a right to expect that Idaho
will furnish representative who il
able to keep up his end of the work.
There are 80 senators and nearly
400 Congressman, and all of them are
looking out for their districts and
states. So it can be easily seen how
a man who alone represents State,
especially one requiring so much con-
structive legislation as the new states
of the west, has his hands full. If
there is any one who does not believe
that French has done his work we'll,
let him ask Hepburn or Dubois"

LEGAL NOTICES
A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Ex-Mayor Madden in an interview
given The Tribune couple of weeks
ago, expressed the opinion that
should the city build a cottage on the
ground on which the pump house
now stands, 1t would save time and
prove Of great benefit to the COM
munity. The Tribune is firmly con-
WINGED that Mr.. Madden Is more
thoroughly informed concerning mu-
nicipal affairs than any private citi-
zen in Caldwell. We also think that
he knows more than some of our
officials. There was some question
in his mind as to teh leganity Of such
action as proposed in The Tribune. If
the city received a straightout deed
to the land it can certainly dispose
of any or all of 1t. The city could
sell five or six lots, and with the
money, erect a neat comfortable cot
tage on the ground. This would en-
able the city to build suitable res
idence for the pumper and his family
without any cash outlay. The ad-
vantage, in case Of fire, is so evident
that we will not dwell on 1t. One
can easily see the disadvantage un-
der which the city is working at the
present time, at any fire. The pump
er lives several blocks from the city
power house, and 1t takes from 80
minutes to an hour for him to reach
the pump house and start the en-
gines. 1t takes little Imagination to
picture the havoc and desolation an
hours fire might do. The great
thing in fire is to get to the scene
at once. Under the plan proposed by
Mr.. Madden. the pumps would be go
ing at full speed by the time the fire
men could get connected up with the
mains. This usually takes from FIVE
to fifteen minutes. depending upon
the location of the fire. We COM
mend the suggestion to the mayor
and city council. We would suggest,
that in view of the fact that there
will be no cash outlay, that the idea
is worth investigating and discussing.
1t Is one Of the most meritorious
plans we have ever seen presented,
for safeguarding the city against
flre.

Too Much "Lingering."

IL We had not had that burst of warmth
in March these chill April days would not
impress us as SO unreasonable and dis
agreeable. But that bit OF summer weather
spoiled us for any more lingering tactics
on the part of winter. We want our spring
undiluted Thus far, indeed, We have had
none of it at all. The warm days were
too warm and the chilly days too chilly
We long for that blessed balm of the early
season, when the air is just comfortab BILE
and not oppressive, when there is fragrance
in the breeze and the showers are helpful
and not irritating, when the softness of
the ground means upspringing grass and
not shoe-soiing mud We dearly love that
stretchy, dangerous feeling that we have
come to call spring fever, when work is not
merely irksome. but impossible, when all
nature is reckoning to US to come outdoors
and play or rest.
Perhaps in few days the north winds
will cease to blow and the southern airs
will creep up to us and the birds will be
encouraged to sing their songs of the great
cantata. Then We can forget furnaces and
CRATES and ashes and such bothers and
go out and tinker with the vines and
prop up the roses and pull the dandelions
and wonder how long it will be before the
trees cast full shade on the walks.

Mr.. Roosevelt and the Future.

There is so much talk of every descrip-
ton We probably should not be surprised
at the mention of Mr.. Roosevelts name for
1912. or 1916 This is based upon the propo-
sition that the President will not stand for
reelection next year, but at the end of
four or eight years may try his luck again
with the people
The latter date will find him still q young
man in the political world, and probably
robust one physically. He seems built for
eighty or ninety years. and while he lives
We may be sure that he will live all over.
And politics will probably interest him to
the end He has spent SO many years in
that atmosphere he could hardly draw his
breath outside it. An active man in the
early fifties therefore, famous and full of
ideas for the public veal. might if he
cared stir things up tremendously at that
time.
But ours is a rapid age, and America the
most progressive of countries. Who may
say what 1912 or 1916 will show in our po-
litical. commercial. or any other develop
ment? Who may predict political leader
ship four or eight years in advance? What
assurance is there that, strong as he is
today, Mr.. Roosevelt. after a period spent
in private life, could take the reins again
ana QTlNe the COdCN along his ROAD
The democratic party turned to Mr..
Cleveland in 1892 after he had been four
years in private life, but principally for
the reason that it's choice was very linn
tied New York was still the only state
with serious candidates. and she had but
two-Mr. Cleveland and Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Cor
man and Mr.. Brice were really not in
the equation The south, usual, effaced
herself. and so, through the fine work of
Mr.. Whitney. Mr.. Cleveland won easily.
But the republicans have never been in
any such situation. Their field is large,
and their leaders numerous. Their present
strength is in the possession of Fairbanks,
Taft, Foraker, Cannon, Spooner, Hughes,
and others. all good men, and any of them
equal to the requirements of a campaign
before the people. And there are younger
men, of the Beveridge stamp, who, in the
language of the race track, are coming
fast
So that if Mr. Roosevelt retires from
the field next year he will take long chances
he should be able to re-elect himself, and
if Mr.. Bryan wins he should see eight
years in the White House. While he lives
Mr.. Roosevelt will remain a power, but
not the power out of Office that he now
is in office.

The Thaw Mistrlal.

Whenever a jury in u sensational and
prolonged murder trial fails to agree the
demand for a change In the system OF de-
termining the guilt or innocence of a man
accused of capital crime is revived. The
Thaw case Is exceptionally suited to stim-
ulate such a sentiment. Not only in its
length. but in the character Of the testi-
mony offered was this case a public nui-
sance, possibly a menace to good morals
and undoubtedly tremendous expense.
The prospect of another wearisome recital
Of the sordid facts connected with the
Madison Square Garden tragedy of last
June is appalling TO the public. Further
more, so evenly were the jurors divided on
the final ballot that there is appai emily but
q slight chance for an agreement on a Sec
ond trial
The differences between these jurymen,
who are men Of unusual intelligence and
capacity to sit in such case, appear to
have been fundamental and irreconcilable.
Five men were immovably persuaded that
the defendant was insane when he shot
Stanford White. while seven Of them were
as inflexibly OF the opinion that he was
sane.
There was practically no dispute as to
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-04-13

the facts. No "circumStantial evidence
was before these men. They did not have
to fill in material gaps in the testimony
with their own conception of what actually
happened. They were confronted in the
last analysis by the necessity to decide
upon a question that has puzzled experts
not merely the hired experts who gave
their opinions under oath, but alienists not
connected with the trial, whose judgment
may be regarded as wholly unbiased In
short. these twelve men, without scientific
training and competent to judge only or
the case as it appeals to the average mans
mind. could not agree upon a finding as
to the precise balance or unbalance of
Thaw's brain at the moment when he fired
the shot that killed is victim.
This is always the danger in capital
cases in which the insanity plea is pre-
scented. 1t is one of the weak points in
our system of criminal procedure The
law as 1t stands requires the submission
to a jury of laymen the determination OF
the defendants mental condition at the
time Of the tragedy. Only when his pres
ent condition Of mind is brought squarely
into controversy can the court place the
question before a commission. specially
qualified to judge. This was done in the
Thaw case. with the result that the jurors
were advised that the defendant was sane
at the time of trial. This decision served
perhaps to render a disagreement even
more certain. 1t concentrated the issue
upon the extremely difficult point of the
mental state of the slayer at the moment
of the homicide.
There is a strong public demand for a
reform of the jury system to permit con-
viction or acquittal upon the vote of a
VI id OF
the jury according to the gravity of the
onense charged. But the issue raised by
the Thaw case is more complex even than
that involved in this general plea for a
more certain method Of procedure. Should
questions relating to the mental state of
a defendant. at any stage in his career, be
reiegated to laymen, especially those who
are drawn by the ordinary processes Of
jury forming?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-04-13

while the FIVE who voted for acquittal took
the ground that Thaw when he assassi-
mated White was insane.
- ...Flapdoodle'' is quite as impotent now
in Congress. 1t survives there. but makes
no votes. The new man when he rises for
the first time is eyed with curiosity by the
veterans. They give him a chance. They
wait for specimen OF his quality. If he
of sense and directness they tarry and hear
him through, and make respectful note
of him. But if he spreads his wings and
starts for the upper air, they shake him
then and there. They refuse to be put on
level with the crowd at the grocery or
the blacksmith-shop at the speakers home,
and seek the cloak room, or the restaurant,
or wander of to attend to business at the
departments. No 'fapdoodle' for them.
And henceforth the "fiapdoodler'' talks to
empty chairs.
''Flapdoodle" has passed. but true oratory
remains. Our effective public speakers are
numerous, and their work is very effective.
And this in the very nature of things. In
a government of the people, even where a
free press performs a large function, the
man who can present his case we'll by word
of mouth is sure of an audience, and be-
comes a leader. But his power is in pro-
portion to his taste. Adapting a curbstone
phrase, he must not play his hearers for
suckers; and he should know that, while
suckers are plentiful in world where one
of the breed is supposed to be born every
minute, they do not rule, as a rule, either
in the jury box, or in the halls of legisla-
ton.

'Flapdoodle" and the Thaw Trial.

An English newspaper. in commenting on
the oratory in the Thaw trial. and espe-
cialIy with regard to the speech of Mr..
Delmas. described it as 'fiapdoodle." 1t
was just that, and. 1t may be added. flap
doodle Of a brand so fragrant and ridicu-
lous as to be now almost powerless where
once it ruled the roost. AT one time
young lawyers bowed before it; wor-
SHIPPED it: studied 1t: considered them
selves fortunate when able to turn the
trick Simplicity of statement was de-
spised. An appeal to the intelligence was
slow form. The play made was upon the
emotions. the fancy. the hurrah in human
nature. 1t is only in rare instances now
in reading communities that man appears
willing TO rest his case upon such an infiu-
ence and is able to exercise it with supreme
power. Mr.. Delmas failed, as we see. His
embroidery all went for nothing. He could
net make silk purse out OF sows ear.
Seven of the jury voted for conviction,
