THE INDETERMINATE SENTENCE

One of the most sweeping changes affecting the
ishment of crime in this state was made by the last eg
lature with very little attention paid to it. The power
of sentencing convicted man for definite of years
was taken away from the district judge, and the judge
now performs only perfunctory duty and sends to
prison fer the maximum term Any mitigation of this
severe penalty must from the parole board. This
system is known the ''indeterminate Sentence The
ndetermnate sentence has much it under the
theory that prison is reformatory, and that when
once a prisoner SO improved that he will make useful
and law.abidng member of society, he will be set at
liberty. The Minnesota law, however which takes away
all discretion the district judge poorly planned
and in one case which to the writer's attention, has
worked gross injustice. Much more injustice will be
done unless the law IS made more elastic.
Judge QUINN of Fairmont, recently took fall out
of the law Ing pronouncing sentence Harry Parker
found guilty Of grand larceny in the first degree in con-
uection with bank defalcatiog< Judge Quinn said ::
I'm Dronouncing sentence at this time, the court
acts somewhat automatically. giving expression only to
the will the legislature expressed in chapter % Of
the laws of 1911,
'By that law the legislature has seen fit to take
from the courts all discretion the way of fixing the

UNJUST To FARMERS.

The farmers of the state should realize the danger
there for them if the employers liability law about to
be introduced in the legislature The bill covers
all employmens and in of total disability the in
jured may 81 0O0 If the farmer should refuse
to accept the provisions of the bill the injured
cover high 81 000 and the farmer is barred from
setting the plea of conrbutoy negligence Many opera
lions about the farm dangerous and if an employee
De injured he could under the provisions of this bill COLI
lect good share if not all that farmer had.
The principle of the employees liability law far
applies contractors and manufacturers is correct
since the compensation to the workngman for injury
should be charge against the business the any
other fixed expense The risk attaches the business and
should not be borne by the workngman alone This line
OF reasoning would TO apply to farming the same as
any other industry but there essential difference
The contractor manufacturer add the cost of his
liability to the price of his product and get his money
back from the but the farmer must sell his
product in an auction market in competition with the
whole world and cannot make the consumer pay but
would be compelled to pay losses himself
The proposed law was HATED by committee inelud-
of organized labor and of employers and
sad to be satisfactory these The farmers were not
represented and for the present least the law should
not apply to them
1t will be injustice to the workingmen of the
state if the farmers in the legislature kill this bill out
rightly. and it would be injustice to the farmers
fasten this heavy liability on the farmers for inquiries
which their hired may sustain The farmer members
of the legislature should see it that the bill is sc
amended that the farming industry will suffer and
should pass the bill so far as will be of assistance tt
workmen employed by contractors and manufacturers.

They tell of an old-fashioned
woman living in the edge of town
who went away on a visit, after
remaining steadily at home for
twenty years. Her children were
scared all the time she was away,
thinking something would happen.
and, sure enough, wolf stole a
turkey. And when the old-fash-
Toned woman returned home and
heard about the accident, she said:
