One of the Reasons.

Until legal procedure in criminal
cases in Georgia is made more. diff
cult in the matter of delaying senten-
ces Of trial courts. we may not expect
very much Improvement in the com
mission of heinous crimes in the state.
We must teach the criminally-bent
that quick, sure and certain punish
ment is to be handed out to him in the
ratio of his offonse; that delays where
time is the essence OF the action will
not be tolerated. etc. We have for in
stance a case in Glynn county--ABh-
ley Pollard, colored. has been convict
ed of murder end as far back as last
December was sentenced to pay the
death penalty Astute counsel has
succeeded from time to time in pre-
venting this sentence from being car
ried out The supreme court and the
pardon board both refused to inter
fere, but we find a yacillating COVER
nor. dilly-dallying in his usual man
ner, with the case!
Twice now has the governor grant
ed a respite and the chances are that
a third will be ordered before the next
d. set for the execution rolls around.
We have no special desire TO see
Pollard executed, but we do believe
that in his case the crime was cold
blooded and wilful In order to- get
to his victim. woman at that. he
found it necessary to cut away with
an axe, two sets of doors, to reach
her in room i'm which she had
refuge from his act Not one

In the trial of his case-and the writ
or heard most of the testimony-ye
a weak. kneed executive, playing the
''all-things-to.all-people" role, has re-
fused to permit the law to take its
course!
We believe that there has been
more deliberate murder committed in
Glynn county within the past three
Dr. four years. where the perpetrators
have escaped punishment for their
crimes than is the case with any other
county in Georgia. and it's about time
to call halt and punish one guilty

The WOman's Viewpoint.

Chicago has a court for delinquent
girls. One of the judges of that court
is woman-Mary Bartelme. Speak
ing of the delinquency question Judge
Bartelme recently remarked:
IF every girl had a proper parlor
In which TO entertain her young man,
1t would do much to solve the delin-
quency problem
BY that quiet unvarnished state
ment Mary Bartelme went long
way to Justify the action OF Chicago
in giving her a judicial position.
Womcn's intuitions about women
are far more accurate than those of
men. In her terse reference to the
causes which create a delinquency of
girls Judge Bartelme placed dag
nostic finger on what is probably the
master cause of alI--lack IL suitable
parlor to entertain masculine &C.
quaintances.
The loneliness and cheerlessness of
the lives of many girls especially in
cities has attracted the anxious at
tention Of not few observers be-
sides Judge Bartelme. So long as
girls are girls they will gravitate to-
ward the companionship of young
men. 1t is only natural and right
that they should.
And the question is whether this
law of mutual attraction shall be en-
ab!ed to develop itself under proper
and favorable circumstances--circu
stances which shall be in accord both
with the sympathies and congeniality
of youth and with the conventions of
social usage-or whether they shall
be permitted to run wild.
The forced and unnatural situation
of the girl who has no real home
nor "paror" in which to entertain her
young man" brings about secrecy, de
ceit, clandestine meetings and their
lamentable and sometimes terrible
consequences. Murders, mysteries,
disappearance precipitate many UNI
happy marriages, the forming of I'M
desirable acquaintances and worse,
and a multitude of minor, but never
theless serious, evils can directly be
traced to the inadequacy of housing
for girls.
Every now and then, some pastor,
church. or social organization takes
this matter in hand and there is a
partial mitigation of the situation of
the selfsuprorting girl in some par
ticular city, We read occasionally of
girls clubs, of girls boarding houses
especially designed to surround girls
with genuine home conditions.
But what has been done does not
represent the thousaudth !art of
what ought to be done for the re-
spectacle girl thrown on a@r own re
sources in strange city.
When Is the American puohc going
at the question in real earnest?

TWO NEW ROADS FOR SIDNEY
G. N. Has Men at Work-Soo Making
Preparations.

Billings.-The Great Northern has
several hundred men at work on its
extension of the socalled Sidney line,
from Lambert to Richey. Steam SHOW
els and caterpillar engines are being
used.
Reports from Sidney state that the
500, too, is making preparations to
build into that place The probable
route to be followed will be from Plaza
to point on the Little Missouri Such
a line would tap rich district be-
tween the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern.
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul sur
yeyors are dechecking the survey be-
tween Winnett and Grass Point. The
force is divided into three crews, and
this activity indicates a purpose to
have the line constructed in time to
handle the late fall trade. The line is
very practicable, involving no serious
grades or heavy construction work.

State Examiner Finds Thirty-seven
Per Cent of Capital in Banks In

ton is excellent, according to H. S.
Magraw, state bank examiner. who
was in Butte while on return trip
to the capital, after examining the
bank at Wisdom with A. T. Hubbard,
his assistant. The bankers of Montana
have a very high percentage of their
capital in reserve. The state requires
that they have Is per cent, and the
examinations in May gave an average
of 37.7 per cent. This is the result of
a conservative policy followed by the
banks in this state. The percentage of
reserve is higher than it has been
since Mr.. Magraw went into office sew
eral years ago. The percentage of the
deposits has always been % per cent
of the capital in Montana banks.
The deposits of the state banks in
creased $4,000,000 between the March
and May calls of the bank examiners

posits before to such an extent.
The increase for the year is close to
