Criminals Cannot Be Re
formed by the Honor
System Alone
By Justice F. E. FRICK of the Su-
preme Court of Utah

THERE are many, among whom
| number are prison officials,
who have conceived the idea
that all men are the same, and since
some can be trusted all may be, and
therefore all that is required to re-
form a criminal is to place unre-
stricted trust and confidence in him.
THAT is, ALL THAT is NEED
ED TO REFORM HIM is TO
CALL HIM A MAN OF HONOR,
AND-PRESTO, CHANGE-HE
BECOMES A MAN OF HONOR!
Such a method of dealing with
confirmed criminals is as pernicious
in practice as it is illogical in rea-
son. 1t treats an abnormal human
being as though he were perfectly
normal. The result is that it sets
at large the most dangerous crimi-
nails we have to deal with.
| have become thoroughly con-
vinced that the indiscriminate APP
plication of the SO called honor sys-
tenn to convicts is more than delu-
sion and a snare.

that the wind has blown all the snow
off the fields, but investigation reveals
that that only about two per cent of
the land was sown to fall grain, and
this small area will all be resown in
the spring, SO that the actual amount

Ducks IS Ducks
Even Tame Ones
Redwood Falls Sportsman Has
Splendid Sport-Only Trouble
+, Ducks Are Wrong Breed

+ When H. D. Thorp goes out for
ducks he gets ducks, b'gosh,
even if he has to drive up to a
farmhouse, hold up the farmer
at the point Of a gun and take
'em While not resorting to
quite that violence last Thurs
day morning, MIR. Thorp did get
nine nice fat ones-big ones, and
he kept them, too, until the own
ers, the Rossow Bros. insisted
upon knowing why he had shot
all their perfectly well-trained
domestic ducks. Then Mr.. Thorp
surrendered the nine nice fat
ones-big ones-also a little
cash-something more or Jess
and drove back to town in a
rather thoughtful mood. OF
course, the ducks had formed a
bad habit Of swimming in the
slough near the Rossow home
but that's rot so much the fault
of the ducks as it is Of the Coun-
ty which permits such sloughs
to exist.
The Thorp family did eat duck
at dinner last Thursday-having
two nice big birds. But they
were a bit expensive, and the
family will probably not care to
repeat the menu again at that
nrica.

Graft Did Not Work

Lamberton bankers proved too
smooth for a crook of the first
water last week. The man ''blew"
into the village and posed as a
wealthy individual, desiring to
purchase land. He rendered a
check for $1,000 in part pay
ment of a farm, but it was soon
ascertained that it was drawn
upon a fictitious bank. The pa
pers, it is needless to say, were
not drawn up. He presented an
other check at the bank, but de-
cided he did not need the money,
when he was asked to make use
Of the telephone to make certain
of his financial responsibility. He
then lost no time in getting out
Of the village, probably in search
Of greener pastures. Banker Geo.
Grimm is too wary to let individ-
uals of that caIibre get by

Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Emerson

returned Monday from their ex-
cursion to Yellowstone National
Park, after being absent for
about six weeks. On the trip

the Yellowstone trail which is
met with at Granite Falls, fol-
lowing the Milwaukee line as far
IS Rapid City and from there
along the Great Northern to
Cody, Wyoming, and thence to
the Park. Five days were spent
in travelling through the Park,
which they found to be VERT
able wonderland of beauty and
grandeur. A day Of travel there
is limited to the hours between
six in the morning and $3.50 in
the evening and is strictly en-
forced. Many unusual expert
ences were met with, among
them being a skirmish with snow
balls for ammunition en- the four
teenth day Of August on the
crest of one of the mountains
over which the auto trail leads.
The return trip was made over
the Black and Yellow trail, which
runs through here. While the
Yellowstone trail is often quoted
as the better route. the opposite
was found to be the truth. The
road showed a marked improve
ment as soon as the Minnesota
line was reached and constantly
improved until their arrival in

Be Well Lighted

c.. A. FObes and A. c.. Burmeister
to Install Light And Power
Wiring at County Grounds
DANCE EVERY NIGHT
Evening Programs Are New Fea-
ture And Promise to Be
Most Attractive

The officers of the Redwood
County Agricultural Association
have made final arrangements
for the lighting of the Redwood
County fair grounds so that the
evening programs may be given
on well-lighted grounds. C.. A.
Fobes was given the contract for
he wiring and lighting inside the
grounds, while A. G.. Burmeister
will arrange for the poles and
for the wiring from the power
plant to the gate.
On the grounds nineteen
street lights will be used from
the entrance, up the drive, and
about the grounds. In addition,
a cluster Of lights, attached to
a "gooseneck" will be put on
each end Of each building, and
three such clusters on the rear
of the grandstand. An immense
light of many candle power will
be placed in front of the grand
stand and two such lights at
the end of the platform used by
the entertainers. A search light
attached to the top of the grand
stand will be used for the night
race program. This arrangement
of lights will thoroughly light
all parts of the grounds, making
the evening programs entirely
enjoyable.
The Jones' orchestra of Lu-
verne, an organization well
known in Redwood Falls, will fur
nish music for a dance at the
fair grounds each evening. A
large tent with a well-laid floor
will be used for the dancing, and
all possible provision made for
the comfort and pleasure Of the
large crowds who are expected
to attend each evening during
the fair. All shows, exhibit
buildings, ETC., will be open dur
ing the evening the same as dur
ing the daylight hours. This is
the first year Redwood County
has had evening programs at it's
annual fairs and considerable in
terest in them is already mani
