As to Capital Punishment.
To the Editor:
Several correspondents have con:
demned the law passed by our last
Legislature abolishing capital pun:
ishment. Their conclusions are, as
far as can see, only based on guess
work, not facts supported by Stats
tics. 1t has been proven beyond a
shadow of doubt that 25to SO per
cent of crime is caused by liquor
This leads to the conclusion that
there is another far better way pos
sible to prevent crime than to butch
er the criminal. Let us not criticize
any law-making body for passing
good laws.

Prefers Death to Red Wing.

II would sooner have BOY of
mine shot than be subjected to the
treatment accorded to the boys at
Red Wing. All of the state institu-
tons of Minnesota need thorough
overhauling. The men in charge be-
come calloused and unmindful of the
needs of the states wards. There
should be change and an immediate
one at Red Wing Frank Day in
St. Paul Dispatch. ~

trouble today is that our officials. as
rule, are paid too big salaries. Our
State officials, the Dispatch to the
contrary, need substantial cut
downward. instead of raise. Every
county in Minnesota is paying it's
officials twice or even more the sal
airy that the same men would COM
mand in any other pursuit or calling.

HAIL WAS NOT DAMAGING
Local Showers Of Ice This Morning
Do Not Cause Trouble for
the Farmers.

Rain conditions which have pre-
vailed over Grand Forks today have
been general over a wide territory,
with scattering reports Of hail. In
the northeast section Of the state no
damage from hail has been reported,
but a Minot report is to the effect that
there was heavy fall there, but the
damage done was not extensive.
In the vicinity of Petersburg. Nell
son county, and Churchs Ferry. Ram
sey county, some hail fell this morn
ing, but in neither case was any dam
age done. the hail being especially
small
The rain over the district was very
heavy, and certainly, not welcome.
Pembina. Neche, Bathgate,> Grafton,
Crystal are cities in the north district
that report rain. Larimore, Lakota,
Devils Lake and Chtrchs Ferry all
had heavy rains. while the same holds
true Of Edmore and towns in that
district.

AUTOMOBILE TOUR.
ABANDONED FOR
THIS WEEK
May Be Held Later in Season
Meeting Of the Drivers
Called Today.

X .
Heavy rains along practically the
entire route that had been mapped
out for the tour of the Grand Forks
Automobile club, due to start this
morning, resulted in the abandon
ment of the trip SO far as the pres
ent is concerned. A meeting of the
auto owners and drivers interested
was called for this afternoon at which
time the action advisable was to be
considered.
Practically every feature Of the
tour had been arranged, but about
q half hour before the time fixed for
the departure of the tourists rain
began falling here. Adyices from
points further west indicate that the
rains fell there even earlier than they
did here, and that the road conditions
were anything but satisfactory for
the carrying out Of sociability run,
such as was proposed.
Just what steps will be taken to
bring about the run later in the year
is uncertain. It is probable. though,
that the tour can be arranged for
another date, several members OF the
club being favorable to such action.
It was distinct disappointment to
the prospective tourists that the run
had to be abandoned at this time In
asmuch as the arrangements were so
complete, but it could not be other
wise under the prevailing conditions.
