A BOOSTER.

How much good feeling is the Jim jam
talk anent the county seat location en-
gendering? Is the Pioneer Express
helping Pembina any? or the Chronicle
Cavalierf Now please don't both jump
on US at once, breathern-'twonth hurt us
any but it wouldn't do you any good,
either. The county seat is now located
at Cavalier and one week from today
the county officials will move into their
Offices and transact business there. Let
Pembina boost for Pembina, Cavalier
for Cavalier, Walhallas for Walhalla-
but all Of us boost, boost, boost for Penn
bina county. It is the banner county Of
the state to-day-but like some business
men-ssit has been established so long
that everyone knows she's here" and has
not advertised herself. while the new
counties have hollered SO loud that the
people coming to North Dakota to buy
land almost believe that these upstarts
are the whole state. Let's boost for
Pembina county. Walhalla Mountain
eer.
Yes, let's s'boost, boost for Pembina
county" The Mouutaineers was "boost-
ing" with all its power in the late cour
house campaign. It and it's friends sue
ceeded in boosting the taxes to pay for a
new court house and bridge across the
Red river and for county fair. Say
$l5O,OOO. That will be good "booster
argument to attract new comers, to be-
gin with.
1t looks now as if Editor Lee had re-
solved himself into sort Of "Hague
Peace Tribunal" and now cries "peace,
peace" when there is no peace. And
that after making the sin.ilar sounding
cry, with different spelling when the
battle was raging. Then he was also
hollering "piece, piece and we guess he
got as many as thirty pieces before he
quit his noise.
1t is the nature of all persons who
have been making trouble. committing
crime, or doing mischief, to desire quiet.
The Standard Oil, the Steel and Beef
trust have been saying hush for sever.
al years now. But even the meat-pack
ers confess that while they can utilize
all parts of a hog, they still have to leave
the "squeal, while the Mountaineer
wants to get the squeal besides.
There are things in this world that
call for something besides peace and
quiet. You and yours have kno .ked the
Pembina folks down and now you say
4 please lie there and keep quiet" Penn
bina owes no thanks to you and yours.
We don't care to listen 20 the advice 81

AND IMPRISONMENT.

Last week the pardon board of the
state was in session at Bismark and the
tales to which they we're obliged to listen
we're tragical and pathetic. It is one of
the unfortunate things connected with
the punishment for crime that necessar-
lly the punishment is also shared by
the innocent relatives and friends of the
accused. Mothers, sisters, wives, grey
haired fathers, all believe John waslittle
to blame at the worst, and would certain
ly be good boy hereafter if permitted
to go free.
Punishment for crime has two phases,
both of Importance, but which must be
viewed from two very different stand
points. One is the personal punishment
Of tho offender and the other Is the pre-
lection Of the general public. These are
the two reasons why we build prisons
and jails. II it were only the personal
punishment and reform of the criminal,
the matter of length of sentence and
pardon would be very much simpllfied
and hundreds Of prisoners could be re-
leased at once, as the men 60 serving
time would for the most part become
good citizens and wonld have condoned
the crime committed by even few
months IN prison. For after all, the
greatest part Of the punishment is not
the yesrs and months, but the fact of
such imprisonment itself.
But on the other hand there is the
question of the prevention Of similar
crimes being committed by others.
There is no doubt the yawning gates of
prisons do much to deter crime. But if
all prisoners were to be liberated simply
because the governor or pardoning
board believe that they would hereafter
lead better lives, there would not be
much to deter the angry, or the natural-
ly vicious, man from committing crime
and repenting afterward.
The great incentive to lynch law in
this country is because of the uncertain
ty of conviction in our courts, or if con-
victed the possibility that the accused
will be pardoned out in short time.
And yet as we said in the beginning,
the pathos of 1T. The one thought of the
wretched prisoner is liberty. That is
what he thinks of all the dreary days
and what he dreams of through the long
dark nights. His wife and children, his
aged parents. his brothers, sisters and
friends all live in the hopes of speedy
pardon.
Occasionally prisoneris actually inno-
cent of crime. Circumstances, false wit
ness, perhaps bad character, have placed
him there. In his case, his conscience
at least is clear, and his one satisfaction,
poor consolation as it may be, is that he
is suffering because others who are gull
| ty of similar crimes might be allowed to
go unpunished.@ He is simply a martyr
to necessity.
But, we would not care to be a mem
ber of the pardon board, we would not
desire to have the authority as governor
to grant or refuse pardon. Itcould not
be pleasant job.
