Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1913-09-26

Every time a man escapes retribu-
ton for crime by working the in
sanity dodge, the cause of law and
order suffers and mob law advocates
are furnished the strongest kind OF
argument. If a man is guilty of MUIR
der or any heinous crime, even if
it can be proven that he was insane
at the time the deed was committed,
he should answer for it. The theory
of legal punishment is not revenge
for the crime committed, but rather
as a warning and deterrent to others
criminally inclined. The fact that
man was insane when crime was
committed, makes him no less
dangerous to society if liberated.
For that matter, who will say that he
who commits any fiendish crime is
absolutely sane?

From the Forestry Reuion

The counties involved in the for
estry fight were at the state fair in
force. They brought with them some
of the finest agricultural products
to be seen on the grounds Their
exhibits go to show that they can
produce the goods. While aggressive
against the wholesale appropriation
of their agricultural lands for forest
ry purposes, they evince desire to
be fair and part with their share of
the area needed for forestry, but they
want other portions of the state to
show little liberality in the matter.
The exhibitors from the upper por-
ton of the state brought with them
hundreds of photographs to show the
splendid farms that have been devel-
oped in the upper counties-and they
were convincing. If there is any
thing to the statement that what
man has done, man can do" there
will be things done in an agricul-
tural way in upper Wisconsin. The
exhibitors all report greater growth
now than ever before
Magnificent hubbard squash, pump
kins and other late maturing pro-
ducts, as shown at the state fair,
ought to do away with the idea that
the seasons are short in the upper
counties.
