INTERCEDED WITH JUDGE BY
LETTER
Asked That Slayer BE Given Life
Sentence.

Elkader, Iowa,--lt has been dis
closed that the reason Judge H. F.
Taylor did not sentence murderer
Peter Kleinow to death on the gal
lows was that the mother of Klei-
now's victim wrote the judge a let
ter pleading with him not to sentence
the young man to hang because that
would break his own mothers heart.
Kleinow murdered Cecil Kersten
20-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Amel Kersten. on Oct. 26.
He shot at her through the win
dow of her home as she sat on a
coach with Harvey Sass for whom
she had dismissed him, and when
she ran out into the yard shot her
again and then carried her body
into the room.
He confessed the crime and plead
ed guilty to murder in the first de-
gree, expecting 10 be sentenced to
hang.
But the day before the time set
for his, sentence Judge Taylor re-
ceived a letter from Cecil Kersten's
mother who, in her own sorrow,
thought not of vengeance but of the
still greater sorrow of the murderer's
mother. In the letter she requested
the Judge to give Kieinow a life
sentence instead of a death sentence.
"She did that said Judge Taylor,
s'out of sincere regard for Kleinow's
mother and the fact should dwell
always in the mind of the murderer
and inspire a desire TO do everything
possible for the parents of his vic
tim. He may not be able to do
anything during their life time, but
if he should be released from the
penitentiary at any future period he
may be able to do something for
their sons and daughters who still
may be living.
at is a remarkably fine chari-
table and Christian act that this
grief stricken mother should so far
forget her own sorrow as to inter-
cede for the murderer of her daugh-
ter in the interest of his mother.

;iven and determined 1T in favor of !
ife Imprisonment rather than hang
ng." ,-
Judge Taylor in his remarks to
kleinow, at the time he sentenced
him took occasion to call attention
to the fact that he had been drink
ing and said that it was probable
if he had let liquor alone the crime
never would have been committed.
He saw in this a lesson that every
young man might well heed-to
let booze alone.
Will F. Karmer of McGregor and
James York of Marquette were each
fined $500 and costs for bootleg |
ging, and were also given three
months in the county Jail. 1t is
claimed that they sold the liquo, to
Kleinow the day of the murder.

mean; it means nothing more than
an early engagement, though the strict
word for the ceremony we perform,
would really be marriage because
afther this ceremony wn cannot
break it. 1t is as binding as any
we can think of. While that being the
case why call it mere engagement
needs some explanation. When a girl
in our country is married, she does
not 60 to live with her husband. In
fact, she does not go to the husbands
house until both the parties in the
parents and friends of both. and the
girl and the boy think, after mutual
consultation, that they are now fit to
live together. This you can guess
from the fact that the girl is only
twelve, the boy naturally will be IS
or II. This is the lowest limit we
are considering. When the boy grows
up and begins to earn and the girl
comes of age to realize her response
bilities, they live together. Now, by
this time some Of you might be Won
dering how the girl chooses or knows
whom to marry. The girl, if she mar
ries at II, has not much chance of a
choice at all left to her. All the
choosing is done by both for boy and
girl by the respective parents, who,
knowing nature of boy and girl and
KNOWN gthe way how he or she is
brought up, search for the suitable
match in every respect for their own
child, sparing no pains in doing so.
If, with all this, certain gentlman
does not happen to find suitable
girl for his son, then he chooses a GER
tain girl who apparently is poor, but
otherwise has all qualities required.
Now, if her parents consent, he takes
up the girl and educates her as he
thinks his son would like her to be and
makes her fit in all respects to form
good companion to this son. The
same is true of the girls father if
he does not find a suitable man for
his daughter. The next question is
what happens if the young couple
come to disagree with all this when
they actually come of age. My only
answer to that is that we do not
know Of any divorces at all. That
happens, think, on account of the
young minds not wavering as to their
selection. They know fullr we'll that
they are married and they have to
like each other and with that start,
and the waiting time they learn how
to keep up with the weaknesses of
each other or as how to improve
ones self so as not to become a
source Of displeasure to the other.
Thus, we see that whatever the short
comings of our marriages are, judg-
ing from the results, it is good
enough system.

we see that the ladies of India shov
all kinds of civilization. You ca,
see the most up-to-date French lad,
in a Hindu girl or an old TYPICAL,
Hindu-fashoned family lady of tht
old civilization of India and the mid
ways who are neither the one no,
the other, also. The pity of the case
is some of the people are forgetting
their own good qualities and are get
ting only the undesirable qualities Of
the foreigners. This is due to the
half education which they receive
Evidently, they forget the maxim
Drink deep or taste not the Pieriar

the wrongs of foreign nation and
not care much about their good quail
tiles.
Now, quite a good many girls take
up higher scientific study. If girls
colleges for science are not available.
they study together with boys in the
same institutions. We have just now
quite a few lady doctors among US.
when girls take up to study some
k'nd Of thing in India, and suppose
1t is so here also, they do it whole
heartedly. A large number of girls
IN my college did much better than
most of the boys. In fact, what
happens is, they are far less diverted
than boys are, from their work in
India. There the boys and girls do
not mix very freely. The very idea
OF party, as we speak of it in this
country where boys and girls mix
freely, is unheard of there. Besides,
the balls and such other dancing en-
gagements are also unknown. In this
connection, I might tell you that when
| told my college friends here that
we do not dance in our country. they
asked me what other amusements we
have. said that we have all the
amusements possible for men among
themselves and for women among
themselves. But we do not mix in
our games and amusements our lad
les and gentlemen as you do in this
and other Western countries. They
were astonished and could not under
stand it and said the life trend must
be very dry, indeed. On that point, I
might assure you it is nothing of the
kind. The girls are as jolly there as
they can be and the same with the
boys.
Now let me tell you briefly of our
married system. Our people, no
doubt, marry early. might say they
start marrying a girl at an age of
say IL and 60 up to 20. I think
that to the utmost limit in 80 out of
lOO cases. Besides, l might tell you
that You hardly find any girl beyond
20 unmarried. You are perhaps won

higher prices. The demnd contin-

should have a tendency to keep the
markets stbilized for some time to

Cold weather has had some ef-

receipts at large markets are some

values possible for live poultry.
