SUN STRIKE
POINT TO EARLY
COMING OF FALL?

WASHINGTON experts
theory that unusual ice foes in the
North Atlantic are influencing this
years weather conditions and are re-
sponsible for some of it's freak fea
lures. The possibility of early frosts
in northern Canada is believed close
ly connected with this condition.
The presence of unusual amounts Of
ice in northern waters is regarded as
having a close relationship with the
abnOrmalities of last year and even
the most conservative scientists who
insist that all weather is abnormal
admit it may have some bearing en-
the discovery made by Dr. c. G. Abb
bolt of the Smithsonian institute that
the sun is giving off less heat than
usual.
Failure of the sun to melt the usual
amount of ice and in that way compel
the recession of the Arctic refrigera
ton to the usual distance north, it is
said, is responsible for the late spring
and for the heavy SHOWS which swept
across New England and nOrthward
last winter and early spring. The
sun is already half way back from its
annual northern trip with the result
that the unusual accumulatiOns Of
snow and ice have not been melted.
This accumulated cold of the Arctic
has a good start on its yearly journey
southwark, a fact that presages an
early fall, according to some weather
experts.

Flashes
'Life is ShOrt-Tell the Truth"
The Why and Wherefore
of a Prison Sentence.

Following the imposition of the
most severe prison sentence in local
courts in years we wonder why it
should be and the benefits society and
the victim derive from it.
In a case like the one just closed
not one person but many persons had
been wronged. 1t followed but short
ly similar crime where the perpe-
TRAITOR is dead or in parts unknown.
No doubt, we conclude, the court felt
that public feeling demanded a Sc
we're sentence. No doubt the court
carried out what he felt the people,
as a whole, wanted.
A man goes to prison then to ex-
plate his crime and to establish an
example to other potential wrong
doors. But beyond that there should
be some effort at character restora-
ton. Can this be done in a peniten-
tiary? One wonders. Could it be
done outside of a penitentiary? One
wonders again.
When plea of guilty has been made
and readiness to expiate, as far as
possible, has been expressed, anger
and revenge should cease. The law
should demand proper punishment but
not revenge.

Prohibition Revoked
i'm Canadian Provinces.

Friends of temperance, sanity in
government and law enforcement OBJ
serve with interest the try-Out and re-
lection of sweeping prohibition in sew
eral Canadian provinces. Quebec,
heavily French, by an enormous ma
jority voted down prohibition and ao-
cepted system of governmental
regulation that is honest, we'll en-
forced and workable. British Column
bia did likewise. Neither province
has saloons and probably never will
have them.
Manitoba, after a "bone-dry' test,
voted down prohibition by majority
OF 10000 in a total vote of 10000.
Strangely enough the rural district,
supposedly "bone-dry", went wet The
province voted to license hotels and
restaurants but stands opposed to the
open saloon, admittedly a curse.
Ontario, further east than Mantle
ba. is preparing to submit the prohi-
bition question to vote OF the people.
Ripened by experience, the people of
the province should now be able ID
determine intelligently what they
want. 1t goes without saying that
wet or dry, the province of Ontario
will enforce the law and not have the
condition of organized bootlegging so
prevalent in this country.
The above situation follows a
period of prohibition in Canada at
fecting all provinces except Quebec
since the war

SCHOOL BOARD
ASKS NEW PLAN
OF ARCHITECT

The Lancaster school board met
Tuesday, discussing the new school
problem in detail Mr.. Webb adyo-
Gated the immediate construction of
one wing and the central portion OF
the new building according to the
present plan, as a means of relieving
congestion. Newer members did not
concur in this view, feeling, perhaps,
that it might later involve an addi-
tional bond issue. The board finally
delegated the president and superin-
tendent of schools to draw up speci-
fication of actual needs and forward
them to the architect. This was done
later.
The board authorized the purchase
of new urinals for the present high
school and lockers for athletic pur-
poses.

w. G. Bass, Beetown farmer, in con-
tempt of court. This action followed
motion by attorneys for Jesse Will

cause why he did not comply with

Taylor appeared for Mr.. Bass and
Brennan & Carthew for Mr.. Williams.
A year ago Mr.. Williams won suit
against Mr.. Bass He charged over
flow from the Bass farm onto his bot
tom land during rainy spells. Mr..
Williams alleged that Mr.. Bass had,
diverted a natural water course, fore
ing flood water over the Williams
field. This Mr.. Bass denied siren
uously. He took the case to the su-
preme court and lost. The contempt
action is the latest phase of the case.

Is There a Hope for
the Man in q Cell!

Feeling that in no case should a
malefactor be able to evade the just
consequences of his acts we like to
feel also that human beings are big
enough to forgive. We like to feel
that there is some ray of hope ahead
for the convict and that he may see
the error of his whole life and philos-
ophy, experience change Of heart
and begin on an honest basis. This
may be sentiment but we cannot help
it, Detesting the crime and opposing
the criminal in every move when free
he stalks truculent, sinister and un~
bending, we feel for him when con-
victed to a long sentence and hope
that by some miracle he may bend his
obvious talents to good purpose and
become, some day, useful member
of society.
