Federal control of police unless a
rapid change to civil service puts the
police entirely out of the control of
politics. establishment of a penal farm
with permanent custodial care of
habitual criminals and change in
the present jury methods which are
responsible for the miscarriage of
justice in many cases through the
laws delay, were advocated in the adj
dress delivered by Miss Alice E. Duffy,
policewoman Of Fargo, late today be-
fore the second state convention of
the North Dakota Purity federation in
session here.
A Disease in the Body.
The Problems Of Social Purity AS
Seen BY a PoliceWoman, was the sub
ject of Miss Duffys address. From her
point of view the problem Of social
vice is modern manifestation of an
age-long evil, its existence made pos
sible by the almost universal accept
ance of the double standard Of moral
ity and complicated modern industrial
conditions. She declared that social
vice is a disease in the body which
calls for remedial and preventative
rather than punitive treatment.
Miss Duffy told the convention that
she considers North Dakota ahead of
most states in legislation relating to
vice and gave particular instances of
needed changes in Law and court pro-
cedure for justice is defeated, she said,
by the cumbrous system.
Better Lower Courts.
She advocated better method of
procedure in the lower courts, a stiff
Jail sentence for repeaters Of either
sex, holding parties equally respon-
gfhIa for the offense. mower tn hold
those accused Of revolving offenses
without bonds for hearing in higher
courts; adjustment Of the pass 'em
or" system which merely aims to send
vicious offenders out of one commune
ity to prey upon another; better laws
with stronger provisions for enforce
ment in dealing with degenerates and
detectives, which class commits SO per
cent Of the most revolving crimes, and
fairer laws in other offenses for in

Weather and Crop Summary for the
Week Ending June I'D. 1917.

Washington, d. c., June 20.-Most of
the week was too cool for the best
growth of corn, but the stand is good
except where recently flooded by heavy
rains; the crop is well cultivated in
the western part of the belt. The
grains and for harvesting in the south.
The winter wheat is heading well in
the central and northern states, but hot
weather caused too rapid ripening in
Oklahoma. Spring wheat improved
considerably, especially in North Da-
kota, due to recent showers. The wheat
crop is very promising in South Dakota
and warm and dry weather greatly
stimulated the growth of this crop in
the north Pacific coast states. Meadows,
pastures, potatoes, sugar beets, truck
crops and most fruits Improved during
the week, except that the large cattle
ranges in western Texas were much at
fected by drought.
