Judge Sherwood Explains The Cause
OF Crime and Reason for
Imposing Sentence
The following part of a state
ment made by Judge Sherwood
IN sententing a young prisoner
at Watertown recently:
"You left school in the seventh
grade when you did not have to
leave school. You have been
working in employments which
have perhaps led you into as
much temptation as possible,
and you have deliberately chosen
to take your post graduate
course in the dance hall or
saloon, and on the street. That
is q bad course for a young man.
You have been an idler and gam
bier by your own testimony and
on the night when this grand
larceny occurred you were drunk
as you have testified, you had
been drinking until you we're
very much under the influence
of liquor.
"If you are satified with the
kind of life you have led you will
spend the most of your life in
the penitentiary and perhaps
reach the gallows, To continue
the couse that you have started
out and have progressed in until
you are twenty-five years of age
will develop you into hardened
criminal at thirty.
II do not know that you lack q
moral nature. l hope you do
not, but it seems to me that for
a young man that had the early
instruction of church and Sun.
day school you have certainly
thrown all moral ideas to the
winds.
Il am afraid you are one of
that class of young men who
have forgotten or never knew
anything of the word duty or OBJ
legation. In your present stu
alton you are q menace to
society"
What you are and what you
will untimately be depends en-
tirely upon yourself aud nobody
else. Nobody can ruin your life
but yourself. Nobody can mend
it but yourself. 1t is up to you.
"The law is not vindicated by
sending you to the penitentiary.
| am not sending you to the pen
itentiary because l have any ill
feeling whatever except the kind
est.
II sincerity regret that there
not place where l could send
you where you could learn a
trade. lam going to put you
where you will have to work,
where you have to obey, and
where you have to leave liquor
alone. I am doing this to pro.
tect society from you, and with
the hope, the sincere hope, that
it will make q better man of you.
l do not know what your home
life has been, but apprehend
that it has not been all that it
ought to be or you would not be
here and you would not have to
be sent to the penitentiary. l
apprehend that there is some
thing your father and mother
failed to do, but it is pretty late
to consider that now and there
is much for you to think about.
It Is the judgement Of this court
that you be confined at hard la.
Dor in the penitentiary at 500
Falls for a period Of four years.

DESERVES REELECTION.

Thomas Collins, county treasurer,
is in the field, candidate for re-elec-
tion and unless the present outlook
is changed, will have no opposition,
from either party, at the primaries.
This is as it should be. To use
the old saying" One good term de-
serves another" and Mr.. Collins has
made good. The recent
examination Of the books Of the coun-
ty treasurer's Office gives him a de-
cidedly clean bill of health, and in
addition compliments the county upon
the way in which his books and rec
ords are kept.
Mr.. Collins is not only an efficient Off
cial, but an agreeable gentleman, In
serving the public, and they will un
doubtedly show their appreciation by
their solid support next month.

GETTING CONVICTIONS.

That M. J. Englert has been emin-
emily successful as States Attorney in
securing convictions Of criminal cases
which he has tried is evident by a
glance over the county records of the
past year since he took Office. In
all but a few cases the convictions
have been obtained with but little
expense to the county, and in an un-
usually large number of cases there
have been pleas Of guilty. the states
attorney apparently having persuad-
ed the defendants that it was bet
ter to admit their guilt in the hope
of obtaining a light sentence than
to put up an expensive fight.

why THE VOTERS
Do NOT REGISTER
LOCAL MAN GIVES REASONS WHY
MANY VOTERS WILL NOT TAKE
PART IN PRIMARY ELECTION.

I saw an article m 1he Evening
Times Record under date Of May 8,
referring to our city assessors Saying
that at least 10 per cent Of the voters
will not state their politics. and there
fore must loose their vote at the pri-
mary election. This article also says
that they do not understand the law.
And as am one Of those who refused
to state my politics, take the Liberty
of explaining why do so. am one
of those fellows that no party owns,
and l may say that belong to no
party, and would only be perjuryjng
myself when l sign an AFFIDAVIT: that I
am Republican. or a Democrat or
even Bull Mooser.
l vote on general principals only.
When l see a good REPUBLICAN, that
l think would make a goo1 honest
man for the Office he mag be rnnl ing
for, vote for him. and the Democrat
the same on any other party. it is
all the same to me. It's the man that
controls my vote not tie party. I
may loose my vote on primary elec-
ton by taking this stand. but I am
not perjurylng myself. I knew many
w,ters who have declared their poll
tics as Republicans just to vote in the
primaries that have always been De.
mocrats.
This is what l call wrong, and it
don't 60 with me. In fact ! do not
see as many Of Dur candidates are
seeking office under any other poll
tics than Republican. Where are our
Democrats? Are they ashamed Of
their politics? Why does our Demo.
Gratis seek to be nominated under the
name Of Republican, do they think the
Republican party is the strongest?
And they want to be on the winning
side.
Why are we living under a Demo
cratic administration, why was Elk Gov
ernor Burke elected the third time?
Surely somebody must change their
political views between primary and
fall elections. Stick to one party at
all times and you are doing a great
injustice to yourself anu country also.
If it was not for US few voters that
will not declare ourselves, or in fact
can not declare ourselves without
perjurying ourselves, there would be
only one party in the field in a few
years. These 10 per cent of voters you
speak Of, you will find by investigat.
ing, stands for principles, and man;
not lprty Are we right or are we
wrong? We would rather loose our
vote on primary than to perjury our.
selves. Yours Respectfully,
VOTER.

BAD WEATHER.

There Is story Of a parish in
which the people. in a time of great
drough, waited on the pastor and in.
sisted that he pray for rain. The
case being an urgent one the demand
was made, not only that the prayers
for rain be offered, but that the pas
tor guarantee to deliver the goods.
To most men this would have been
somewhat embarrassing, but the ply
stefan Of souls was a resourceful man,
and he agreed unhesitatingly to the
conditions. He agreed to produce
rain whenever the people wanted it.
But" he said "the demand must be
unanimous. Decide among yourselves
on what day you want rain, and it
will rain without fail on that day"
Then the people tried to get to-
gether on good date for rainy day.
While they all wanted rain they did
nos all want it at the same time. Each
DAY suggested was the day which had
been set aside by some of the men,
bers Of the community for important
eutdoor events. They talked about it
In groups, and could not agree. They
held meetings about it and could not
decide. There was a marriage, or a
birthday party, or a load Of hay that
must be hauled, or some other impor-
tant thing to be done, and day after
day passed without the desired unani'
NIFTY being reached. And one day
whAe they were on the point Of com.
ing to blows over the problem, it rain
Cd anyway.

THE RIGHT STAND.

Alderman Lee COMBS should be
complimented upon the stand he took
In the meeting of the city council
against spending nearly $4,000 for a
bear cage, in which to keep the two
cub specimens Of the Bruin tribe
which are now in the basement of the
City hall. It is hard to harmonic a
cut Of thousand dollars in the library
appropriation, and a reckless expendi-
ture for bear cages and dens, such
as was proposed.
