Been Drinking.

five, shot and killed his wife, aged
forty, on their farm four miles west of
Winsted. Wagner was arrested and, &C.

SOME MORE GOOD DAIRY RE-
Trims

Chas. Rychner, one of the old
of Platte, was in the city
Wednesday and naturally we spoke to
him about his success with %dairyipg.
He showed us a creamery check for
$37. II, the output of SIX cows in
fifteen days or about $12. 40 per COW
per month. The COWS have been fresh
a month past. He feeds them an equal
proportion Of ground cc.n and oats,
three quarts, two times" a day and
equal parts Of timothy and chopped
corn stocks for the balance of the feed.
Mr.. Rycher says his COWS are a grade
short horn Durham, but OF whatever
stock, they have to be properly fed to
produce results. Mr.. kychner also con-
siders that the Herald is essential in
his home, and advanced his subscrip-
tion a year hence.

A charge that Legislation passed pre-
sumably for the: benefit Of tho White
Earth Indians Of Minnesota. has actu~
ally resulted :"tpl the disintesration OF
that great and valuable Indian reser-
vation and tho property rights and
effects of 4 large majority Of the sew
eral thousand, Indians concerned in
the ownership thereof is contained
in a statement. filed with the house
committee; on expenditures in the de-
.partment of the interior by M. G.
Burch, In officer of the department
of Justice. The statement of Mr..
Burch is couched in strong language
and will be used as the basis for the
public hearings that will be begun in
Minneapolis in a few days by Repre-
sentatives Graham Of Illinois and
George of New York, acting for the
house committee above named.
MI. Burch recites the history of the
White Earth Indians, stating in sub:
stance that they have been made the
victims of injustice through legisla.
tive enactments since the passage OF
the Nelson act in 1889. He places the
blame for the troubles of the Indians
on the lumber interests of the state.
There are several chapters of the
statement, among them one headed
1.-THE First Grab for Pine" another
entitled "The S%aturnalia," still an
other that appears under the caption
"The Tragedy Of 1885," and another
headed "A Two-Edged Fraud-The
Mile Lac case" Speaking of the
Nelson act, MI. Burch says:
while apparently every safeguard
known to legislators at that time was
inserted In the Nelson act for the pro-
lection OF these Indians, it is plain
that the longing eyes of the lumber.
men and the land grabbers were early
directed to the magnificent timber and
fine agricultural lands of these reser
~vations."

The state association of county at.
torneys has gone on record as desiring
capital punishment and as opposing
the indeterminate sentence. On both
these propositions we believe them to
be exceedingly mistaken. There has
never been any proof that the taking
of life by the state deters man from
taking life. In the days when theto
was execution FOR petty offenses, the
hanging did not stop the offenses or
frighten prospective offenders. The
man who Kills in a moment of passion
does not stop to think of the penalty,
and the calculating murderer is not
deferred, but lays his plans to escape
if possible. An investigation by the
French government showed q much
greater fearo life Imprisonment among
criminals than of death. If preven-
tion IS desired, and modern penology
is founded ON that theory, capital
punishment fails. It has not pre-
vented, does not: prevent, and will not
prevent. The .indeterminate sentence
is; In: the Judgment Of. the greatest
students Of crime and criminals IN
every civilized land, the greatest step
in criminal. Jurisprudence ever taken.
~ Anoouo SAoV tu0 poI0OuS S0UtouC6u are
held until in the judgment of a COM
petent board they may be safely re-
turned to society. IF the law is to be
interpreted, as it once was. as a revenge
that society takes upon the. offender,
then of course indeterminate sentence
acts are foolish, but the motives and
reasons which move men in. the COM
mission of crimes are not easy always
to understand. The cases may be
complex. Society itself may be parti-
ceps criminis. In order to save itself
society must say what Is worth saving
in the offender. Under the operation
of the indeterminate sentence the
prisoner must depend on his efforts to
become worthy of freedom. His cor.
duct and the evidence of his good will
are.determining factors. The ADVANTAGES
of the indetermlnate sentence were
thus clearly and succinctly stated in
the report of the Committee on Pri<
sens to the California legislature as
long ago as 1881:

law of love.

EFFECTIVE CURE
FOR SPEED MANIA

Not all persons upon becoming
the owner of a motor vehicle inn
agine the price paid for the ma
chine includes ownership of the
streets. but good many seem
to have that impression. The
change from lodging a car to
being lodged is apt to be one in
which the rights of the pedes-
trian are quickly forgotten. In
our large cities the loss of life
from automobiles and motorcy-
cles has grown to be something
frightful, and largely unneces-
sary. In some European cities
the remedy is to arrest and fine
the one who is so slow and stupid
as to get run over-that is, if he
survives. But no such process
of law will not be tolera ted here,
nor should it. On the other hand,
motor cars are m odern neces-
sity and the streets are no long
er a safe place in which children
can play. There must be mod
Grafton and caution on the part
of both. The enforcement of a
reasonable speed reduces the acct
dent and death rate to a mini
mum, and Chicago has demon
strated that such a reform can
be easily accomplished in a few
days. Several deaths each week
from motors had rolled up a total
of rs in short time. and some
thing had to be done. This is
the cure, and it was accomplished
in few days: While Is miles
an hour is the legal high speed,
20 miles was unofficially assumed
to be the limit. Anyone eX-
ceeding that speed was promptly
arrested and fined heavily. with
the promise that the amount
would be doubled for a second
offense. Instead of the cases
being brought before some
friendly magistrate in the dis
