Mason City. Dec. 2l.-Mayor Fred A..
Kirchman declared this morning that
he would pay 1000 for the privilege oil
serving in the state legislature just one
term, II if he could get the job he
would devote his entire time and ener-
gy toward making some provision for
suitable punishment and reform FOR
drunken, worthless husbands II
! spend every cent they can get Tor
children and are hailed into court penni-
| less and unable to pay their fines. The
mayor is the police judge of the city
and cases of this kind have been quite
numerous. He does not belong to the
a~ntideluvian class, but wants to be
reckoned With as a twentieth century
reformer. However he believes that
! the old law. such as is now in force in
Delaware-the public whipping post
would be a most effectual mean deal
| ing with brutes of this class.
Time and time again the mayor mas
been put to his wits end. He has COM
pelled men to attend the Salvation
Army-for thirty nights in succession:
he has turned them over to the tender
mercies Of the Catholic priests and
compelled attendance at mass and con-
fessional. but these remedies are only
temporary and do not result in lasting
! good. The bread and water sentence
for three days or even ten days simply
maddens them and does no good.
| Mayor Kirschman believes that the
! man who can think out II get into
legislation some means of dealing with
men Of this kind is certainly 81 public
~benefactor. greater than Andrew Car
genie with his ten millions gift for
peace and deserves to be classed
among the great statesmen of the
world.
