Deschutes Canal Breaks.

Bend-A break has occurred in the
big canal of the Deschutes Irrigation
& Power company, and before the head
gate could be closed, 200 feet of fun
ing was carried away. The damage to
the irrigation company will amount to
$4,000. A force of men was put to
work at once to repair the break, but it
is feared water will be shut off for at
least ten days, and as the farmers are
much in need of water these warm days
the loss will be extensive.

Does it Pay?

The Times presents for the information of the
people the state and the consideration of the
members of the general assembly conserva-
lively drawn picture of the physical conditions
at the Frankfort penitentiary. These conditions
make inevitably for diseased bodies among a
population every member of which is the vie
tim of diseased mental and moral fiber. And
sight cannot he lost of the fact that that popu-
lation is essentially floating population, ar
rested, it is true for the time being, but only
for a time. The average length of the time
spent in the Frankfort penitentiary is one and
nine -tenths years. Two out of every three of
the men the state shuts in there for that brief
time in the life of a man are iliterate; one out
of every two has no knowledge of trade by
which to earn living honestly; one in every
thirteen is the victim of tuberculosis; in Cell
house \, IA out of the 800 of them are Gagged
in cells three and half feet wide, six and half
feet high and seven feet in length; the Ken
lucky of 1909 is no further advanced in the
treatment of its prisoners than was the Ken
lucky of 1900.
Kentucky puts convicted criminals into her
states prison at Frankfort and then does ali
that is humanity possible to see that none but
the confirmed criminal comes out The wonder
is not that 10 per cent of the men who leave
the Frankfort penitentiary leave it to prey on
the state, but that the state escapes the menace
of the other % per cent.
Kentucky is getting out of its prisons Just
what it is putting into them-criminals but
criminals of more dangerous quality and
virtually nIessened quantity. Does it pay!-

never have a chance to make good. 1t is a
notorious fact that those of the higher walks
of life, who commit murder under the least pro
vocation are found guilty of manslaughter or
acquitted, and the embittered creatures of an
unenlghtened ORDER stretch all the hemp from
the gaows of the United States. In the mean
time, il is becoming more and more difficult to
secure "A verdict, warranting capital punish
ment, excepting where jury is possessed of the
mob spirit.
llangings have taken place in the counties,
where the crimes were committed, on the theory
that the execution is an object lesson TO the
community. In France today the executions
are public for the same reason, giving the re
iuctio ad absurdum to our theory. We issue IA
limited number of tickets, thus adding heart
burning jealousy of the morbdly curious to the
disgust of the normal minded portion of the
populace
We don't hang men any more on the theory
that the community requires a warning Ty-
rants do that. Being members of the commu-
nifty ourselves we are justified in assuming
that we enforce capital punishment for our
protection, not Tor our edifcaton or nstTue
ton. Consequently, the less brutalizing fam-
liarity we have with the spectacle, the better it
is for the mind. especially of the young. FIX
perience has taught the human race that abuse,
threats and horrible examples only harden the
natures intended to be benefited. Society is
beginning to turn from the unpleasant business
of harvesting weeds, TO the more profitable bust
ness of trying to make something else grow in
the place of weeds
Until we reach that state of civilization,
wherein society recognizes its obligation to the
individual as much as the individuals obliga
lion to society, let us, by all means make a hide
GUS thing as little hideous as possible, and exc

A Matrimonial seidlitz Powder.

At an important state function in London,
blue tickets were issued to persons of high rank,
admitting them to that part of the hall reserved
for members of the royal family. Less distin-
gushed guests were given white tickets.
Through some mistake, an important public
man received blue card while his wife re-
ceived a white one.
When the couple reached the audience cham
Der, there began to be trouble, inasmuch as the
lady firmly declined to be separated from her
husband. An aide endeavored to reason with
her, pointing out the dreadful consequences that
would follow a mingling of blue and white.
GLOW absurd" exclaimed the lady. "What
do you take us fora Seidlitz powder!"
She was permitted to enter with her husband.

THANKSGIVING

In the first place Thanksgiving marks us as
a God fearing nation. You, who are proud TO
trace your ancestry back to those hardy pill
grms who landed on the bleak Atlantic coast in
mid winter and began that heroic struggle
against the primal forces of nature i'll the wild
erness of strange continent, remember that
the first thing they did was to fall down upon
the cold, barren ground and thank God for pre-
serving them for the fight.
They did not have occasion to thank God; be-
cause he had given them comforts and Injuries,
shelter from the wind, pleasant homes with
coal and servants to carry it In; plenty to eat,
soft raiment TO wear, money in the bank and an
elegant church in which to worship Him. They
thanked God for preserving them for the fight.
Nowadays it is common for a man to ask why
God has spared him for a struggle that seems
unequal and hopeless, and to give the life back
IL his creator, like the Improbable servant.
The poorest creature that walks the earth in
this happy land of ours is better off in this
worlds goods than those half frozen, more than
half ed immigrants, who stepped ashore
through the pounding cruel wintry surf at Ply
mouth rock, and thanked God for preserving
them for the fight
You are proud of those men; they were
fighters. Can't You honor them by being fight
ers, too, and thanking God for preserving you
for the chance to fight! You will never face as
unequal struggle as they faced. If they had
been men of a weaker mold, they would have
cursed God and asked him why he spared them
for that.
But they didn't They gave thanks because
they were preserved for the fight. If you have
comforts and pleasures, be duly grateful for
them. But if you have anything to overcome
within or without that is your cause for thank
fulness, that you may prove a worthy son of
race that thanks God for opportunity to estab-
lish its right TO the name of man and the image
of God, not for the unearned increment of an
cestral heroism.

The THEORY, THE LAW AND SOCIETY
Senator Herman Newcomb will offer in the
next legislature bill, substituting the electric
chair for the gallows in executing condemned
criminals, and changing the place Of execution
from the county, in which the crime was com
mltted, to the penitentiary at Frankfort. If his
bill passes Kentucky will take one more step
from the direction of the barbarous past toward
the humane future.
Time was when the theory of criminal law
was retrbutlve in its nature Society advanced
and law reform followed at a distance. The
theory was changed to protection of society and
the Encouragement of crime Again society
advanced and the law finds itself behind. Pub
lie sentiment today suggests, not only protect
ing society, but reforming the criminal and
transforming him from an enemy of the law
and order into a contributing member of
society.
Today there is much discussion of the eff
cacy and morality of capital punishment In
the days of the Patriarchs the head of the fam
lily had the power Of life or death over the in
divduals. That theory has come down to us in
modified FORM society retaining the power of
life or death, and each member holding an in
terest i'm the law, on the one hand, as part of
society and on the other as an individual with
Exclusive, personal rights and obligations. This
power of society is based upon the belief that
the rights of society as a whole are superior to
the rights of the individual and the contro-
versy over the question Of capital punishment
is concerned solely with opinions as TO whether
society will be properly protected, if the death
penalty is abolished.
II seems that, if society would abolish the
extreme penalty and still be safe from abuse by
individuals, it must cease its own abuses Off
diyiduals, who are born under a handicap and

Many persons are nauseated
after eating bananas; strawber-
ries cause singing rash to ap-
pear on the face and sometimes
the entire body of persons to
whom the fruit is a poison; the
acid of some apples will cause
stomach disorder and violent
headache. Grapes are looked up
on as one of the most medicinal
fruits, but it is the juice, since
the sour pulp is anything but
agreeable for persons with acid
stomach. Peaches served with
cream have been known to cause
the greatest suffering, since the
cream sollrs the fruit and turns
to clabber, making a most I'M
wholesome food. These are the
bad results, and on the other hand
we know of persons being helped
by sweet grape wine, eating ripe
pears. 1t is best to watch the eff
fects of certain fruits-if bene-
fetal eat plentifully of them in
season, or leave alone.
