TRIBUTE TO HER
Grand Junction July 20. 1913.

Grand Junction July 20, 1913.
Editor Sentinel:
1t is never too late to say a good
word for the deserving. and | deem it
proper for me to say a few words in
memory OF mother OF Grand juno
tion who departed this life few days
ago after having accomplished the
noblest purpose possible in this world
of trouble and struggle. Those who
knew of the. life of Mrs. Mary V.
keeley for the past seventeen years
Will acknowledge with me that she
was one of the heroes of the nobler
sort. Left with a family of three
Children girl and two boys, she
devoted her life to their sustenance
and education with far better sue
cess than most parents blessed with a
large amount of this worlds goods.
Mrs. keeley was typesetter in a
small way and the years OF / $50 to
1905 were years of hardship for her
and only those who knew OF her life
understand the very close economy
required to keep the little family to-
gether. But it was done and the
children obtained a fair education,
the daughter married and is making
a good home for a deserving young
man. while the two boys are holding
splendid positions as engineers on the
Denver & Rio Grande, one of them,
the youngest engineer on the road,
and they worked up to their places of
responsibility from the very bottom,
living at home during the early years
of the struggle.
The past few years Mrs. Keeley
was helpd by her children and was
enabled to take life easier, but the |
severity of her earlier days so weak
ened her system that her life was
considerably shortened.
The thought of Mrs. Keeley's he
roic struggle came to me when | read |
of the cowardly act of w. l.. Clayton
in Denver last week when he took his
own life in the face of far less de-
mnnd upon his exertions than she ex-
perienced with a manifold greater
degree of ability to cope with 1t sue
cessfully. There are many women
who cheerfully accept the heaviest re-
sponsibilities of life and master them
as she did and when they do they
richly deserve a more than a passing
tribute from those who know of their
efforts.
Yours very truly.

OLD TIME PENALTIES.

There is a provision against "crueI
and unusual penalties inflicted fol-
misdeeds. But in olden days there
was none. And weird and unbeliev-
able were some of the sentences pass
ed upon our SHINING ancestors. Things
that are now punishable by light PEN
alties were then matters of life and
death.
For instance, the death penalty was
inflicted for the theft of a loaf OF
bread. Swearing was punished by
mutilation of the tongue. In 1890
a woman was burned at the stake in
England on a charge of having kill
ed her husband. Falling asleep in
church was punishable by imprison-
ment. Stocks, pillory, whipping posts
and branding irons were in common
use during the Seventh Century.
A general description of punish
ments common in early New England
was written by John Dunton, WIS.,
itor to Boston in 1880, in letter to
a friend in England. He said:
For being drunk they either whip
or impose a fine of five shilings, and
yet notwithstanding the law there
are several of them so addicted to 1t
that they begin to doubt whether 1T be
a sin or not. and seldom go to bed
without muddy brains.
For cursing and swearing they
bore through the tongue with a hot
iron.
For kissing a woman in the street
though in the way of a civil salute,
whipping or fine.
"Scolds they gag and set at theih
own doors, fore certain hours togeth-
er, for all comers and goers to gaze
at. Were this a law in England IT
would in time prove an affective
remedy to cure the noise that is In
many women's tongues.
Stealing is punished with restor-
ing fourfold IL able; If not they are
sold for some years and 30 are poor
debtors. / have not heard of many
criminals Of this sort.

A burglar in 1884. in Boston was
whipped, bran led with a B on his
forehead and was ordered to repay
the victim of his theft threefold. His
wife, who assisted him, was whipped
and branded. Counterfeiters were
commonly whipped and branded with
an "F."
Sometimes a convicted person was
allowed to wear a letter conspicuous
ly upon their clothes, instead of suf-
fering a brand upon the face or
hand. The punishment of the scar
let was actually inflicted in early New
England.

When the bill was passed over the
veto Legislators made the flimsy ex-
cuse that the land in question is not
valuable and is unfit for settlement,
anyway.
II Is the same old talk. 1t is ex-
actly what the Alaska coal grabbers
said when they were trying to steal a
coal field worth many millions 1t is
what they used to say about the
Everglades in Florida. 1t is the same
thing the steel trust said about the

fore 1t had gobbled 1t in. Now 1t is
known that property is worth bill
lion dollars
The Lake county swamps are val
ueless now because a big land COM
pany Is trying to gobble them up.
Therefore the company INDUCES in
bearish talk and the legislature has
assisted in the game even though the
governor pointed out the danger.
Just wait until that company gets
this land safely in its paws. Then
there will be no talk about worthless
land. We will then have develop
ment and exploitation campaign and
the newspapers of the state will be
urged to boost and help populat,
those beautiful reclaimed lands.
Smooth statesmen will go about SELL
ing that land for $3.50 an acre and
upwards, II viii be set forth that
the reclaimed swamp land is the
richest land in the west and that a
man with wife and 10 children can
live in luxury off the earnings ot five
acres, raising anything under the sun
from peanuts to canary birds.
After all that has been said about
spectators and promoters In this
state how could the Legislature take
the stand it did. II was an outrage
against the people and the state. II
is not sufficient to say the swamp
land is worthless or that the state
board can handle the problem. There
Is doubt as TO what the board can do
and no one knows who will be on that
hoard when the present members re-
tire. The matter should have been
handled by the legislature so there
could have been no doubt or danger.
BY it's action the legislature has
shown incompetency' and laid the
foundation for future scandal. IT
IS aiding and abetting the very policy
that was assailed with bitterness and
tears at the recent irrigation con-
gress. II is aiding reclamation pol
icy that looks not to serving the set
tier but to singing him. II is strange
conduct from a legislature that wants
