the eastern or southern packers.
The tomatoes are packed in an at
tracttve can containing two pounds

The Insane Murderer.

New York Times There is need OF
a reform of the New York state law.
Thaw is not, but should be, a convict
as well as a lunatic, and extraditabie
as such The jury before which he
was tried for the murder OF Stanford
White brought in a verdict on Feb. /,
1908, asefollows
y 1--WE, the jury, find the defendant not
guilty of the charge in the indictment,
on the ground that he was tame at
the time of the commission OF the act"
& Had the same evidence been pre-
sented to jury in England, the ver-
diet would have been briefly, Guilty,
but insane The difference in phrase
ology of these two forms of verdict ac-.
counts for the long series of attempts
to free Thaw on the ground of sanity,
since. once pronounced sane, no charge
of guilt would rest against him, and he
would be a free man. The theory of
mot guilty, because insane" has been
shown to be unsound. The New York
State Bar association has repeatedly
made it the text Of it's disapproval and
earnest plea for amendment When
the habeas corpus proceedings of
Thaw's lawyers became a scandal.
special committee of the state bar as
sociation asked:
Has not the time come in the de-
velopment of our system Of penology
the assumption that an insane man
cannot commit a crime? In other
words. ought we not to abolish the de-
tense of insanity, and leave as the one
issue to the petit jury: Did the ac-
cused do the forbidden deed? If he did
not, he is innocent: Ii he did, he Us
guilty, and with the state Of his mind
at that time the jury has nothing to
do, The point we make here is that,
however legally right under existing
legal concepts. 1t is really wrong, So
ciologically wrong, to find a man not
guilty on the ground of insanity"
And the committee clinches its reas-
oning as follows:
mo one will contend that the insane
murderer should forfeit his life. The
question We put is, Why should he not
forfeit his liberty2 Why should he be
acquitted on the ground of insanity?
He has proved himself to be q danger
GUS man. Society must protect itself
against the danger of a repetition OF
his homicidal tendencies"
BY adopting the procedure indicat-a
ed above or by following the British
precedent of instructing the jury in
such case to bring a verdict Of
Guilty, but insane, Thaw's status
would be changed properly from that
of an innocent lunatic to that of an
insane convict. He could not achieve
his freedom by habeas corpus proceed
ings, and he would be extraditable un-
der the laws of all the states and of
most nations. stt

CASS COUNT 5
Land WORTH most
LAND iN THIS COUNTY ASSESSED
HIGHER THAN IN ANY OTHER
COUNTY or THE STATE BY THE
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION, NOW
I'M SESSION.

Cass county lands are assessed the
highest OF any in the state, the state
board Of equalization, In session at
Grand Forks. fixing the assessment at
$7.s5 an acre. Trail Is second, with
values fixed there at s7.4s.
These figures are especially inter
esting in view Of the fact that the

properties shall be taxed at their full
value but no attempt has ever been
made to comply with this provision
atsany time since statehood.
The state board has increased the
assessments this year on farm lands,
structures on lands, city lots and
structures on city lots, total of $4,-
576,773.
The increase on farm lands is So
872,059; on structures on lands, $443,-
529; on city lots, $73,766; structures
on lots, $s7,119.
In Billings county assessments the
greatest changes were made by the
board, the farm land values being in
creased 3S 1-3 per cent, while city lots
and city structures were decreased 40
per, cent.
u The board of equalization is now
engaged in handling telephone, tele-
graph companies and public utility

fine BILL. AT ORPHEUn
A Buriesque School Act, Put On Under
the Direction Of William schoen, I
Receives Much sAppIause.

A Burleque School Act is the attrac-
ton at the Orpheum this week and
those who have seen the act are very
much pleased. 1t is called the Schoen's S
Ruff Hous Kids, as they are staged
under the direction of William Schoen
well known theatrical man.
Mr. Schoen was interviewed by a
Forum reporter last evening in regard
to the way in which he selected the
actors for his farce. Mr. Schoeu re-
piled that the success of a big act of
this kind lay in selecting the right peo-
pie for the right part and he succeed
ed after many trials in getting just
the parties he wished. Most theatrical
managers advertise in theatrical Jour-
mails for performers but this is con-
trary to Mr.. Schoen's system.
Mr.. Schoen said: II visited exactly
103 performances in as many theatres
in search Of a small Hebrew comedian.
At last when i had almost given UP
hopes of finding the right man, I heard
of a man playing Hebrew part in A
Trip to Joyville, playing at Racine.
found the man was looking for. Sam
Colbert, and in the same company the
Sis Hopkins that 1 wanted in Miss

A few weeks later in travelling from

These four people took back to Chi
cago with me and gave them strenu-
Gus rehearsals for four weeks. From
the applause and curtain calls that we
have received since we have been in

MOMENT OF Departure.

Ye blithe vacationists who wait
Upon the platform, much elate.
The train to bear you hence,
To where the strealet murmur low
And woods are green and breezes blow
And life's joy immense .
Ye folk with expectations flushed
And every thought of trouble hushed,
And business tame and fat,
Who leave the city's heat behind
For climate equable and kind,
And other things like that
No matter if We travel far,
No matter what your pleasures are,
Or what ye find or miss,
There'll not arrive If ye but knew,
A single moment unto you
So pleasurable as this!
You have right now the fond delight
Without the gay mosquitoes bite,
The "chigger's'' or the fiea's;
Without the poison ivys" touch,
That causes some to scratch so much,
And other things like thesei.
All. could We clamp the present Joy,
Uncheckered by the least annoy,
How great would be your gain!
Be always just upon that point
OF leaving for some distant jofAt--
But say! Here comes your train!

There are number of traders who are
bullish and are waiting to buy on re-

was mixed, the strength and advance
in September in the winter wheat mar
