PUNISHMENT NOT REFOR-
NATION.

Edward E. Budding Of Hunting
ton, West Virginia, himself an
ex-convict, claims to have Sc
cured employment for three thou
sand ex-cOnvicts. He also claims
that of that number less than one
hundred have "fallen down. on
their jobs.
Mr.. budding has gotten hold
of the right wire in twentieth cen.
fury reform.
Strange that otherwise kind.
hearted and humane people will
persist in furnishing" the Grim
inal, even after he has paid the
uttermost farthine of his penalty.
Why can not we all see that
the logical end of law is not to
punish but to reform the evil
doer?
y Pause a moment and consider
that word "punish. doesn't it
smack too much of vengeance I?
And who ever heard of vengeance
reforming transgressor? And
who ever heard Of vengeance re-
forming transcl essOr? Per-
hans when the vengeance has so
completely broken the poor
wretch that he has lost the power
of resentment we NAV consider
him reformed. but God save us
from such reformation.
As men of enlightenment and
mercy. we should look on the
law machinery of the land merely
as the means of which we may
reform or re-make the human
character which untoward cir
cumstances have warped and
twisted out of it's original SYM
metry. The very idea If punish
ment is repugnant to the soul of
the merciful man, and should
have no place in our scheme of
life.
We insist that the idea of pun
iahment as applied to the evil
deer is unworthy Of the enlighten-
ed citizenship Of this great coun-
try.
Reform the evil-doer, re-make
the warped and twisted charac-
ter; restoring. if necessary, the in
curably vicious. but punish

AUTOMOBILE LAW ENFORCE
M&Nx.


Automobile accidents are fire.
quent occurrences of late, and they
are due to q want Of laws or q
non-enforcement of them.
IT 10 . rare thing to hear an
automobile horn toot, and when
several vehicles meet, they are at
= loss to know which side Of the
street to take. If the regulations
were up one side Of the street and
down the other, it would facilitate
matters.
Another dangerous practice is
the racing Of cars, sometimes two
or three abreast. Only yesterday,
/ looked upon the wreckage Of an
automobile and milk cart COLI
sion. The horse is crippled, the
auto broken and what other dam
age WAS done, have not learned,
but fortunately in the instance
no lives were lost.
II il high time that stringent
laws be made and enforced, for
the protection Of life and property.

the end we see 1t move from the con.
veyor under its own power. The plant
has capacity of 1000 cars per day.
and when you watch the system. the
precision that marks every movement
at this great factory. you no longer
wonder at the output.
1t does not seem that this great in.
stitutiOn could be built up in eight
years. but that is the record. 1t shows
how rapidly the automobile industry
has grown. 1t shows how organiza-
tion and system can in few short
years turn struggling machine men in
to multi-millionaires. Eight years ago.
according to the statement Of Mr..
Willys. the plant and grounds were
worth about $4,000. today they in
voice at $68.00O.00O. 1890 people
are employed in this great plant.
Such large convention as this you
say will cost the Overland people lot
of money. That is true. but there is a
business side to 1t all. The first twelve
days of the convention brought orders
for 100000 cars. worth $125. 200. 900.
1t is expected before the convention
ends that orders for $3.50. .O0O. 900 worth
Of cars will be placed.
During the week profound impres.
sion was created by the announcement
Of an increase in wages to the EN-.
ployees of this large institution entail
ing an extra expenditure for 1917 OF
$1.250.000.

oAkEs FARMERS SHORT
COURSE DATES SCI

Oakes is to have another Farmers
Short Course this winter. The dates
set for the event are Jan. 10th, 11th
and 18th and they are not far away.
The Short Course again this winter
will be in charge of the directors of
the Tri-County Better Farming Asso-
citation under the supervision OF the
County Agent as it was last year.
Plans are being laid for one of the
best meetings held to date. Some of
the local farmers and farm women
who can give some valuable infOrma-
tion are to be heard from and in add.
tion some of the best authorities from
ricultural College. There will also be
some good speakers from outside OF
the state.
a wcmen's program will be conduct
ed during the last two days under
much the same arrangement as last
year. 1t should be kept in mind that
the OakeS Short Course is planned to
accommodate all the farmers in the
eastern part of the county and all who
may wish to come from adjoining
counties. 1t is not for local people
only. People who are not within con
venient driving distance of OakeS
should plan to come to Oakes and
stay for the full three days. Keep the
dates in mind and make your plans
accordingly.

of all the ministers of the different

this morning in reference to another

ing holidays.
They made mention that the tree of
last season created feeling in the
community that augured we'll for the
good of all concerned. that it was
something that was in timely touch
with the Christmas spirit and in their
judgment ought to be yearly fixture
at Oakes.
1t was further suggested that the
city get in communication with the
management of the Sro Line to the
end that transportation charges for a
tree similar to the one we had last
year be adjusted as near the zero
mark as would be consistent t" good
