The Case of
The Scarlet Woman.

It is rarely indeed that The Journal
ever feels called upon TO criticize the
acts OF the judiciary because of eX-
cessive sentences imposed upon per-
sons convicted of crime or misde-
meanor. We have no sympathy with
crime, with lawlessness, or with the
spirit of anarchy which open disre-
gard of the law breeds.
The Journal feels. however, that the
unusual sentence imposed by Judge
Beggs of the criminal court upon the
unfortunate women of the demlmonde
who pleaded guilty before him yes
terday, was a mistake mistake
whose effects, so far as the ends of
justice are concerned, will be just the
opposite from what Judge Beggs no
doubt intended the effect Of his action
to be.
This sentence requires each woman
to pay a fine or serve 80 days in the
county jail. In addition to that she
must leave the city within 80 days
after the fine has been pal - che Jail
sentence served. In the event she
fails to leave the city, furthr sentence
is promised.
The main object of the sentence is
to drive these women out of the city
Well, after they have been driven
out, what then? VIII it be possible
to prevent others from coming here to
take their places? And how are the
ends of justice, or morals, or humanity
served by driving them out of this
community and dumping them into
some other community? If it helps
this community-which we seriously
doubt-dOes it not do so at the ex-
pense of some other community?
What does it do for the women them
selves? Does it give them any better
chance to lead clean lives than they
had before? Does 1t help them on the
road to reform or simply accelerate
heir movement down the road to hell?
The social evil is one of those prob
lens which the best thought of the
world has so far failed to solve. 1t is
one of the problems that no law thus
far devised can cope with. Whatever
may have been the circumstances
which led them into it, We are con-
the underworld continue year after
year to lead the immoral life from !
choice. The trouble is that, once into |
that life, they have no way of getting |
out of it Every avenue OF escape or |
of usefulness is closed to them !
Transferring them from OD- town to
another will not help them away /
from the life nor viii it lessen the /
evil upon society in general. And we
cannot conceive a more heartIess /
policy than one which contemplates
the driving of these unfortunate PEG
pie from one town to snother-fugi-
tiVes fleeing from all mankind-with |
no roof to shelter them. with every
hand against the Il, with no avenue of |
escape from the merciless execution /
OF the law or the tragedy of a life /
into which a L ,staken past had led
them.
If there is one creature in the whole
world who deserves the sympathy of /
humanity it is the fallen woman. And /
surely there must be some better way
TO deal with her than the way con
templated by the sentence imposed in /
the cases referred to above. II we
have read the scriptures correctly, |
the lowly Nazarene set an example
and pointed a star of hope in a some
what similar case more than nineteen
hundred years ago.

Raising spuds for Seed

A humble member of the Tribune
tribe visited the ranch of Graham
and Howard, ten miles northeast of
Greeley the other day and saw how
260 acre of potatoes are harvested
in the month of october in Colorado.
More than 10000 sacks of potatoes
have been dug and most of them
stored IN two immense dugouts and
not frozen tuber among them. The
completlou of this herculean digging
was celebrated Tuesday with oysters
and the tatted goose.
One Of the most encouraging
things TO these farmers is the fact
that the new station of Gill is only
mile and a half from the potato
plantation, thus being worth untold
money in saving a ten mile haul.
Among these spuds, all grown
upon sod are about $500 sacks
grown from seed shipped from Maine
last sprng. Although the stand was
poor the yield was more than 100
sacks per acre and many individual
hills produced twenty salable pota'
toes.
About 10000 sacks were raised
from seed brought last year from
Stove Prairie. Last year the demanc
for seed potatoes was so great tina

seed tn year on large scale. A!
