YES THE POLICEMAN EARNED !
HIS PAY AND THE COST IS
KATE MURPHY'S SELF RESPECT

Kate Murphy, mother of a boy
of six, wife of ]. X. Murphy, a
citizen of East e street, was cut
down in the city Jail just in time
to save her life last night by Jailer
Mccoy, after she had hanged her.
self with an electric light wire.
The law was being vindicated
on Mrs. Murphy.
She had drunk some, quarreled
on the street, and a vigilant po-
liceman had taken her in.
Mrs. Murphy is not a criminal.
She had never seen the inside of
a Jail before. To her mind arrest
was lifelong disgrace, and she
tried to end it all with a copper
wire.
THE OFFICER FELT HE HAD
DONE HIS DUTY. HIS ORDERS
ARE TO ARREST VIOLATORS
OF THE LAW. AND HE DID 1T.
HE HAD EARNED HIS PAY,
AND THE COST WAS KATE
MURPHY'S SELF-RESPECT, A
FAMILY DISGRACED.
That's the way our police sys-
tenn works. Is the system good,
or would it not be better to follow
the plan of Chief Kohler of
Cleveland, as detailed in the
Times last week, and try to teach
the weak to be better rather than
crush what self-respect they have.
Most first offenders are weak,
says Chief Kohler; not really vi
cious.
Mrs. Murphy was weak. She
drank because she was not able
to withstand the temptation. The
drink made her noisy, and the
cop clapped the law upon her.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-05-18

plain the law and teach instead of
club the people into being law
abiding.
The politicians howled, the
people laughed, and police de-
partments said Kohler had sone
crazy. But he reduced the ar
rests from over 10000 a year to
less than 5000 in three years.
and public morals in Cleveland
are better than in most cities of
half million.
Supposing the officer had taken
Kate Murphy quietly but firmly
and put her ON a street car and
sent her home. Wouldn't the
chances be just as good for her
And wouldn't the
city be just as well off, and
wouldn't her little boy and her
family be better off?
Experience shows that arrest
ing people causes them to lose
self-respect. And the loss of self
respect drives them from
shoughtless and weak into reck-
less and desperate acts.
Would il not be well to try
golden rule methods on the Kate
Murphys of Tacoma?
In the regular court procedure
Mrs. Murphy may be arraigned
before a gaping crowd of court
hangers-on. She will stand there
and hear them snicker and may
hear the sentence of the court,
and who will be benefited?
Is there anything about it that
will make her or anybody else in
the court room or elsewhere any
better?

EPIDEMIC Of
RABIES IN
IDAHO
cove AND DOGS ATTACKED
BY STRANGE MAIaADY

LEWISTON, Idaho, May 1S.-
Despite the efforts of vererinaries
scores of range cattle are going
mad in the Salmon river district.
1t is suspected that the rabies are
epidemic in the district. The
valuable span of horses was gor-
ed to death yesterday by mad
dened COW near White Bird, and
when corralled she battered her
brains out against the pen rails.
A number of dogs, presumably
mad, have been killed and sew
eral rabid coyotes have been shot
down by ranchmen.

The prediction that George w.

That Thomson also will be

probable.

Then she realized her weak
ness, and her realization brought
remorse. She saw disgrace for
herself and her family. She saw
the tear-stained face of her little
boy when he should hear the
mother was in Jail. She saw the
reproachful and sorrowful face OF

And who is benefited? Is

COMET
STARTS
PANIC

ATLANTA, Ca, May 1S.---
Panic over the approach of Hall
ley's comet today threatened a
serious outbreak among the con-
victs in the federal prison here.
While many of the prisoners ac-
tually believed that the earth will
be destroyed, it is thought that
the panic was increased purposely
Iby prisoners inclined to use the
agitation as cloak for prison
disorder and rebellion against
discipline. Extra precautions are
being taken by the, prison off
|cials and every guard will be on
duty at sundown.
For the first time In the his
tory OF the prison. clas sof con-
|v'cts was confirmed today by the
|Ctholic bishop, assisted by a
humber of priests.

The comet will be in transit

the time OF egress S:37:46 p. m.
