The Whipping Post for Ger
tain Crimes
..t VI" .#s.s 20.
Urged by Governor Baldwin Of
r. Connecticut r.
90 . .-r y So,
Sterilization Advocated for the
-...- Human Brute

Richmond, Va, Dec. 4.-Flogging, in
some cases, for children: the whipping
post for violators of certain laws, and
sterilization of assailants Of women,
We're advocated by Governor Baldwin
of Connecticut in an address delivered
yesterday before the governors
conference here. In his speech Cover
nor Baldwin declared that he was more
in sympathy with the classical school
of penology'' that the new or noisier
one, mainly made up Of sensational
humanitarians or theoretical psycholo-
gists." 49,. 1..- .. 80
"The former school,"she said, main
tains that criminals should ordinarily
be punished by subsection to some
form Of suffering: the other they
should ordinarily not be made to suf-
fer for their misdeeds except as nature
forces it upon them through the mind,
but that their treatment by the state,
should be aimed primarily at their
moral Improvement.
There is a certain crime of which
one seldom speaks" Governor Bald
win continued. "Its very name has
come to be banished from our news
papers. Yet the thought of it is q
daily terror to every woman in the
south and brings sense of uneasiness
northern sisters. 1t is the cause of
most of those lynching cases which
disgrace our civilization. 1t is to be
kept down only by the severest
methods.
'Is it too much to say if the courts
are not ready to apply those, the
people will? The people who may
thus bring some ruffian to his death
win not be the best people in the COM
munity. They may occasionally seize
the wrong man. But has. conviction
ever yet been had in the United States
of any one of mob of lynchers for
hanging a negro accused of this crime
THAT crime does wrong to a
woman which many of them have
deemed worse than death, Such a
man is no fit subject for an indeter-
inmate sentence. He has proved his
inherent weakness of will power. In
every clear case of this crime, in my
Judgment, there should be an opera
tion of sterilization" isl

CASEY IS HELD
Fur VAGRANCY

Minot, n. D., Dec. 4.-W. r.. Casey,
who was arrested at Kenmare sus-
pected of being concerned in the MUIR
der Of Karl Hanson near that city
has been sentenced to thirty days in
the county Jail for vagrancy.
1t is not thought that the evidence
against Casey is sufficient as yet to
try him on the more serious charge
but the investigation will be contin
ued and 1t is thought that possibly
more evidence may be unearthed in
the near future.
The notorious Mickey. Barns, a, well
known strong arm" man, is said TO
have been seen in Kenmare the day
Of the murder and it is thought that
there is a strong probability that he
was concerned in the affair.
No one has seen Burns since that
time, however. and 1T is suggested
that he may have crossed the Cam
adian line
Casey is believed to have visited
a house Of i'll fame near Kenmare not
far from the scene of the murder
that same night that the murder was
committed.
1t is thought that he may have per-
suaded Hanson to accompany him
and then In company with an accom-
plice, have ambushed him and struck
him on the head with the heayvy angle
bar with which the murder was COM
nlitted.
There can be no doubt in the opIr-
ion OF the authorities that more than
one man was concerned in the affair.
IL Casey Is guilty 1t is hoped that it
may be possible to bring the fact 10
light by finding some of his accom-
plices.
In the meantime the authorities will
continue to search for clues ia the
case. and 1t is hoped that something
definite win be brought to light be1ore

EXHIBITED BEER
FROM HIS PULPIT

Minot, n. D., Dec. 4.-"Business men
who are in favor of an open town and
who object to the enforcement of the
liquor and gambling laws on the
ground that they are bad for business
are no better than the blind piggers
and gamblers themselves" declared
Rev. T. A. Olsen at the Vincent M. e.
church Sunday night.
With two bottles of beer which he
said had been purchased in Minot on
the pulpit desk in front of him Mr..
Olson delivered a telling arraignment
of the conditions which he said were
prevalent in the city.
In the course of his remarks Mr..
Olson declared that public officials
who were unable or unwilling to en-
force the laws Of the state should
resign from Office.
where he had received positive in
formation that liquor had been sold.
He said that in one case he had TAX
en- his proofs in the matter to the city
authorities but that no action had
been taken.
A. e. Bacon, manager Of the opera
house, told of his experience in in
vestigating conditions throughout the
city and said that he had discovered
at least four places where liquor was
sold.
All of the instances of the selling
Of liquor which were mentioned, how
ever occurred before the message sent
to the city commission by II. L. Hal
vorsOn a short time ago, which re-
suited in a general clean up around
the city.
At the conclusion of his remarks
Mr.. Olson asked for an expression of
opinion from the congregation and as
a result a resolution was passed de-
manding that the laws against the
sale of liquor and gambling should be
strictly enforced.
The church was crowded to the
limit of its capacity. Mr.. Olson re-
marked jokingIy that it was possible
that some Of the crowd had attended
the service largely in order to discover
where beer might be obtained.
In the course of his address Mr.. OIL
son declared that on the evening of
June II, last he had sent two of his
parishoners to the resort known a s
the "Titantic" to obtain beer. On the
same evening he invited Elmer Smith
chief of police. and w. S. Shaw, po-
lice commissioner to his study for a
conference. ..st
While the conference was in prog
ress Mr.. Olson says that the two
young men arrived with the beer. He
handed this over to Mr.. Shaw and
Chief Smith and asked them with this
evidence to raid the place, at which
it had been purchased.
The two officials objected to doing
this Mr.. Olson declared, on the
grounds that it would frighten other
law breakers whom they were anxious
to catch.
Shief Smith maintains that at the
conference mentioned by Mr.. Olson.
he was perfectly willing to raid but
that Mr.. Olson refused to tell him
where the beer had been purchased.
In this connection it is worthy Of
note, that the "Titanic" has twice been
raided during the last two months.

ARBoR DAY PROCLAMATION

Forests are of mighty Importance in
the economy of nature. They. shelter
man and beast from winters icy blast
and from summers scorching sun. They
contribute literally to the making Of
nearly everything we use in home or
profession. They supply man with fuel
for his Preside and lumber and furniture
for his home. They have a beneficial
influence upon the rainfall, the air and
the soil. They regulate the water sup
ply and the water-f1owing stream and
river, warm the cold winds of winter,
cool the warm winds of summer. on
serve moisture for all plant life. feed
the ever flowing springs of pure refresh
ing water, furnish protection to all ami
NAL and bird life; a playground for
youth and a refute for old age. Next to
the soil they are our greatest resource.
and unlike most of u esouees they
need not become exhausted except
through our own fault. By united effort
we can restore the natural in all its
original beauty. and by r and culti-
walton we can grow forests where trees
have never grown before. Every lot or
place of waste land in the state can be
and should be made a beauty spot.
useful and valuable, by the planting
of trees.
Therefore, for the purpose of encour-
aging the planting and growing of for
est trees in this state, and in accord
ance with the long established custom,
I do hereby designate
FRIDAY, APRIL rs, 1912
as Arbor Day, and I earnestly recon-
mend and request the officers of the
different cities and towns Throughout
the state to unite with the county super
intendents of schools and the superin-
tendents and teachers of the public
schools of the state. in the preparation
and execution of suitable exercises for
and on Arbor Day.
And I further recommend and request
each freebooter in the state to plant as
many trees as possible on his own free
hold, and in time we will make this
the most beautiful as well as the most
prosperous state in the Union.
