PARDON BROWN
FROM STATE PEN;
BROKE JAIL HERE
Kamiah Man Gets Uncondi-
tional Release from Idaho
&. Prison

Arthur Brown, convicted by a jury
in district court in Grangeville, on
June 3, 1922, of charge of rape, has
been given an unconditional pardon
from the state penitentiary, at Boise,
by the state board of pardons.
Brown was sentenced June z, 1922,
by District Judge. Wallace N. Scales
to a term of from five to ten years in
the states prison, for a crime against
Jennie Strine, 16, his step-daughter,
at Kamiah.
In passing sentence, Judge Scales
remarked that he felt the man should
be pardoned from the penitentiary in
less than five years. The court said
that, while he believed Brown guilty
of the crime with which he was char
ged, evidence of the state was, in
the courts opinion, insufficient to
warrant q conviction.
Brown borke out of the Idaho CO.
unity Jail on Feb. %, 1922, but was
recaptured near Sites by officers who
took him at the point of gun.

This Week
Men Need Fear
How Long Can You Think?
Divorce And Cancer
Flow Rich Are We?
BY Arthur Brisbane

Rev. Percy Sticlxney Grant mourns
as follows:
IF So per cent of young men
enter college believing in Chris
tianity and nearly all of them
have lost their faith upon leav-
ing college, We are teaching Chris
tianitv in the wrong way"
Very likely hard facts of science
are taught in a way that crowds out
belief in miracles. 1t must be remem-
bered, however, that boys in their
teens do not exactly believe anything.
They only take for granted what has
been told. them.
1t takes long mental medicine to
plant religious belief in a young mind
beyond all possibility of uprooting.
A man, known all over the country,
said at the recent Lloyd George lunch
con in New York:
"Onlv the Catholic church
stands between property and red
radical confiscation. The Protes-
tant church lost its power when
if quit teaching that there is an
actual blazing hell. Men need to
be frightened"
Inc gentleman is u gOOd 1rOtestaht
and goes through all the usual mo-
lions, but he is discouraged. If it's
true that fear of hell fire alone will
keep men honest, that's sad. But is
it so? The American Federation of
Labor, which is non-sectarian, comes
out strongly and officially against
confiscation of property
and other extreme radicalism. High
wages enable men to acquire property.
And when man owns something, he
at once objects to any plan for divid-
ing evenly. Capital will learn, per-
haps, that its safety lies in making
the little man a little property owner.
A house paid for and savings ac-
count will inspire more conservation
than any fear of hell.
