THE MUIR CASE

With the judicial procedure Of
our neighbors beyond our north
ern border 1t is neither wise nor
eypedient for Americans to inter-
fere, even to the extent of COM
menting on 1t adversely. And es-
pecially should we, with Our far
from proud record of homicides,
find any except the most cautious
OF fault with the way in which
the Canadians deal with their muir
derers.
With this preface. 1t cannot be
Objectionable to express wonder,
and something OF regret, that the
canadian authorities could not
see in the circumstances of the
shooting of Menry Laviolette by
Walter Muir any reason for COM
niuting the latter's death sentence
or granting him a new trial.
There is some foolish talk going
about to the effect that because
Muir was an American who had
killed a Canadian the mitigating
circumstances of his crime were
l6uOIcu. AdL 10 oO AOoAly ulrDU-
lievable that II. can be dismissed
as presumably false.
Yet Muir was little more than
boy, and his state of intoxication
at the time goes no small distance
toward proving lack of the inten-
ton and premeditation which are
as necessary in Canada as here in
establishing the crime of murder.
Mitigation of his punishment, too,
was urged by reputable persons
on both sides of the border with
these and other arguments SEEM
ingly of not a little weight
The case has attracted so much
attention that the Canadian au-
thorities, forgetting the fact that
they owe us no explanation or de-
Tense of acts 4by their duly con-
stituted courts, lamight give us
something of both. 1t is not de-
nying that they were right to ask
the reasons in a case where leni-
ence appears to have been more
than excusable.-New York Times.

mean that people who reach maturity live much longer 1t
means that children die in babyhood and early youth

So he got chip basket and lid

Nick gave it a poke with his long

of the deep, dark woods, hungrier

he just couldn't keep away from the
spot where Mrs. Woodchuck's basket
had been.
Suddenly he stopped and blinked
his eyes. There was the basket

"Oh, boy!" he cried. "Now TO: a

When Nancy took away Mrs. Wood

a safe place to keep for her, Reddy
Fox was so furious that he could
have bitten his own tail off almost.
"Just when was all fixed for a
scrumptious picnic dinner!" he cried,

He didn't dare to follow Nancy,
for Reddy wasn't allowed in Happy

Master Zip put up signs every

Reddy Fox thought of every way
he could to get Mrs. Woodchuck's
picnic basket. But It wasn't bit
of use.
After bit he just had to stink off
into the deep, dark wooks where
there weren't any woodchucks or
picnics or anything, and think how
badly he had. been treated.
In the meantime, Nancy put the
basket in place that said, Baskets

She got check for it and went
and gave it to Mrs. Woodchuck.
"You'd better put this check in

THE CURE FOR GRADE
CROSSINGS

According to a report just Is
sued by the North Dakota highway
commission, forty two grade
crossings - representing the most
dangerous in that state-have been
eliminated the past year. and the
commission announces that it has
committed itself to a settled pro-
gram of similar reduction OF
grade crossings each year. Pre-
vious to the issuance of this state
nent, a petition largely signed by
locomotive engineers and firemen
for the abolition of grade cross
ings had been presented, in which
1t was urged that the deaths and
accidents due to the existence Of
such crossings were not the only
evil result. but that the shaken
nerve of the men at the throttle
shortened their lives and made
possible an increase in the mum
Der of accidents.
In the building of a highway
system in a young. state, the
avoidance of these death traps
should be the first consideration
of the engineers. 1t is then pos
sible. Later, when money has
been expended in building high
way, it is exceedingly difficult to
abandon the route and get finances
to rebuild. AS an instance, on a
stretch of seventy miles on the
Glacier trail-one of the trunk
highways running west of Fargo
the road performed a perfect zig
gag across the Northern Pacific
railway tracks. Not less than a
dozen crossings were made. BY
little planning and the building
of few stretches of new road, the
highway commission reduced the
number to two or three, keeping
the highway for the most part OH
the north side of the railroad. The
railroad was there first" and by
priority was entitled to this con-
sideration, II humanitarian mo-
tives were left out of the calcula-
tons. The highway that weaves
back and forth across a railroad,
as for example, the st. Paul-Du-
luth road, jeopardizes both rail
and automobile traffic and lives.

Where are the friends it used to love to know,
Who gathered round its welcome beaming hearth,
And called it Home Sweet Home so long ago? Be-

No more glad echoes stir it's dim old walls, = 20.
No more the laughter and the merry glee,
Resound in sweetest music through it's rooms,
But all is wrapped in silent mystery
Adown the garden path the roses bloom.
The purpling grapes hanging overhead;
But all Is sadly vacant and forlorn,
Like to world whose inmates all have fled
The jasmines perfume borne upon the breeze
Brings back sweet memories of days gone by,

And wipe a burning tear drop from mine eye
AS fledgelings leave the nest when they have grown
The children from their homes fit Tar away
Their parents fondly hope and wait alone,
Then die; and leave the homestead to decay
