QUICK AND SURE!

For the first time in the records of
the courts Of central Illinois, a judge
has passed sentence of life imprison-
ment upon the charge Of assault with
intent to kill.
This followed a crime wave so .ex-
tensive that the authorities feared the
public might take the law into their
own hands.
The doors of Joliet have changed
shut behind the two youthful crimi-
mails, Fred Hardy and Virgil Schneider.
In an attempted robbery they tor
tured an aged farmer, shot his son
through the shoulder and mistreated
the latter's daughter.
Nothing unusual about that crime,
you say? 1t happens daily? Granted.
The unusual feature was the con-
innls within two weeks after they
committed their crime.
Quick Justice!
1t Is beginning to dawn on judges
and juries that the national attitude
toward criminals has leaned SO far
on the side Of indulgence and senti-
ment that criminals have had little
fear Of penalties.
A youthful payroll bandit in Cleve-
land recently was sentenced to the
electric chair for murder. The judge
was. woman. The jury was headed
by a woman. The bandits pal also
has since been sentenced to the chair
for the same crime-by a jury includ-
ing four women who, in contrast to
several of the men members, from
the start were for the death penalty
without recommendation for mercy"
This was not what some men pre-
dicted when women began to be in
cluded on juries in criminal cases.
In the general campaign to throw the
fear Of the law into the criminals
heart, it might be a good idea to give
us a jury of IL women in every major
criminal case.
Sure justicei
Enough of delay! Enough OF doubt,
Make Justice quick and sure and watch
the criminal army shrink away.

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The Magic Green Shoes carried Nancy
and Nick right up to the star of the
weatherman, Mr.. Sprinkle-Blow, a
great big place with plenty of room on
it for everything.
They walked along and pretty soon
they came to two houses One was
on one side of the. road and the other
house was across from it on the other
side of the road.
So the twins did what anyone else
would have done, walked up to one
of them and knocked. If that wasn't
the right one, at least there was no
harm in asking, was there?
A voice inside said, "Come int" and
Nick gave the door a. push, wide open.
Before Nancy could move an eye
lash, something dashed out Of the door
past her with a great rushing noise.
almost knocking her down. Nick
grabbed the door and pulled it shut
again with all his might, but not be-
fore some words reached his ears. A
lot. of voices were shouting at once.
aOh. there goes Old Man Flood" said
one.
Jack Frost, why didn't you watch
your turn and get out, too?" said an
ether.
/ "Get out, old Sicily ry-Weather!
retored Jack Frost why didn't you
go yourself?"
'Too soon Jack. too soon!" said old
Sicily Dry Weather. "Just you wait
It'll summer"
"Gracious!" exclaimed Nick mopping
his face with his hanky. Now we've
done 1t, Nancy! We got the wrong
house. This must be the place the

Queen told us about. / guess that's

Just then the door of the other
house opened and out came an odd

AMERICAS OPPORTUNITY AND
| Duty

The Danish Research Society has
comr'led figures on the social results
Of the World War which are as amaZ-
ing as they are interesting.
According to these figures there are
chargeable to the war, directly or in
directly, approximately 100000 hui
man lives.
This figure is obtained by adding to
those killed in battle and dead from
disease, the loss in population due to
decrease in the birth rate and increase
in the death rate among civilians in the
warning countries.
The financial handicap which the
world has taken on since 1914 is.
roughly. s350,0Oo, 100000
The burden of this stupendous debt
brings 1t about that every belligerent
has such staggering taxation as to
hamper all the normal processes of
material and individual life.
Eleven out of IL European nations
even with tremendous taxation-are
spending far beyond their incomes.
And three out of four countries in the
world are unable to raise sufficient
taxes to meet their RUNNING expenses.
For the first time in history. a nation,
dismembered Austria, has gone into the
hands OF a receiver. Other nations are
on the verge of bankruptcy.
The World Peace Foundation Of Bos-
ton uses these Danish figures. in con-
nection with the figures showing what
the leading nations are now spending
for ornaments, as the basis of a PAM
phlet entitled, 1.-THE Staggering Burden
of Armament"
The objective Of the World Peace
Foundation is to bring about an in
ternational conference to consider the
limitation Of ornaments in the interest
Of world peace.
The foundation very properly points
out that America-because Of her dom
inant position In the worlds the ma
ton that should take the initiative in
bringing about such a conference.
The necessity for an agreement
among the nations to stop their insane
armament competition and devote
their energies to restoring the shatter-
ed world. is so urgent that President
Harding's duty seems perfectly clear.
There may be some question as to
the method Of making the approach
to the other nations. but there can be
no question that the sooner the first
steps are taken, the better for eyery
nation and individual in the world

voted to literature, the sciences. arts
or some special industry. IL mas
been suggested that 1t was the intent OF
I Congress IN the passage OF this pro-
vision that the privilege or second
class rate should only go to pubhca-
lions disseminating information or
public benefit. If this is true, then the
responsibility is lodged somewhere to
determine what is and what Is not in
forrna ton of public benefit. There Is
/ a vast difference between what is Sin
| formation of a public character" and
what is information OF public benefit.
Much Of the news In any daily might
be barred If public benefit were essen
| tiaI It Is easy to decide what is and
what is not Information of a public
| character" The arbitrary power to de-
eide what is and what Is not a public
benefit was never intended to be lodg-
ed in the Postmaster General. It shall
not be assumed.

brief for The Liberator or any other
publication. If there is on foot a con-
spfracy to destroy our established form

claimed by the Department heretofore
as reason for not granting this per-
NIT, and if this publication is involved
in 1t, then the Department of Justice
will deal promptly and effectively with
the conspirators in the manner pre-
scribed by law. The Department Of
Justice as now organized can be de-
peRded upon absolutely to do that.
The war is over. We must return to
the ordered freedom. Our method of
safeguarding the public welfare, while
at the same time maintaining freedom
of the press, has been found through
long period of stable civil liberty bet
ter for the public welfare and personal
security of citizens than to establish
a bureaucratic censorship which in it's
nature becomes a matter of individual
opinion prejudice or caprice. There is
a certain cost in free institutions in
which the institution of freedom Of the
press shares, but we in this country
have preferred to pay such costs from
time to time rather than to seek pro-
lection through the historically dis
credited devices Of bureaucratic gov
ernments.
Either these publications should be
entirely suppressed and their publishers
prosecuted or they should be given
equal mailing rights in common with the
other Periodicals of the country.
The mail exclusion statutes will be
vigorously enforced by the Post Office
Department, but in so doing we will
carry out the purpose of such non mail
ability law. This purpose is to bar
the prohibited matter entirely from the
mails and not simply exclude it from
the particular class of mail which car
ries lower rate of postage and then
admit to that class which requires
a higher rate, for the same laws govern
the AVAILABILITY Of matter in each case.
There shall be no hesitancy in SUPPL
pressing any publications that fall
within the. prohibitions of the public
law, but there are also laws in this
country safeguarding the integrity of
the freedom of the press. and these
laws must and shall be also scrupu-
lousy observed.

Pettit's company.
OF course I knew that it was only a
matter Of time when he would come
to himself and realize how unreason-
able he was. For he, himself, no other
was to blame for my being with DR.
Petit. If he had not gone to the res
cue of the girl artists whom he had
seen struggling in the crowd around
Madison Square garden on the night
of the presidents speech there he
would not have been separated from
me, and I would not have been cast
upon the tender mercies of the young
physician.
My feeling of fear, however, soon
gave way to righteous anger against
Dicky. I felt that I could not soon
forgive him for the childish exhibition
of temper he had given, when, after
losing me in the crush outside the

had been so fiercely resentful at find

An unaccountable little glow warmed

THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

Statement of Postmaster General

The application of The Liberator for
admission to the second class mails
has been granted today. This applica-
ton was filed on February IL, 1918. at
the time the magazine was established
and has since been pending with no
action taken by the former admins

third-class rate of postage. pending
action on the application for second
class entry.
/, Inasmuch as the application shows
compliance with the other statutory
requirements. the only question to be
decided is whether The Liberator is
publishing mailable matter. II II is'

law TO entry to the second-class mails

The question of the malta bility of m,

PRESS COMMENT
The Scramble for Oil.

The Scramble for Oil.
AS the background for his report on
the policy of the state department IN
protecting American interests abroad,
Secretary Hughes pictures the leading
nations of the world in a frenzied
scramble for the control OF new
sources of oil supplies. Once the pres
ence Of oil is discovered or even sus-
pected in some remote corner OF the
globe, diplomacy has it's hands full
clearing up the complications over
petroleum concessions. Oil has sup
planted gold as a trouble-maker.
1t isponly recently that the United
States has found cause for being con-
cerned with what is going on in Meso-
potamia of blessed name. Until the
war, to the average American 1t was
an obscure place mentioned in the
Bible. Now there are oil fields to be
exploited, and Americans are threat
ened with exclusion under an ingenious
system of British ownership.
Nothing so stirred Senator Lodge to
eloquence in pleading with his republic
can colleagues for the ratification of
the Colombian treaty, which he had so
bitterly opposed under the Wilson adj
minfstration, as the knowledge that
the British were moving to intrench
themselves there before the Americans
could establish lawful rights.
Secretary Hughes deals at length

location to the state department until
access to its oil fields became subject
for dispute than Teschen and It's coal
mines were to Premier Lloyd George
at the Paris peace conference. It is
reported that oil has been struck in
Costa RIGA and Venezuela, and Ar
gentlne is hoping to have equally good
luck. VIII there also soon be involve
ments there over oil concessions?
How much oil. by the way, are
Djambi and Mesopotamia producing?
AS much as California and Texas. by

pest things that has happened to
Europe is that there is no oil in Upper
