a Bigger Noise

PADDLE hangs in the office of the
Il Marion County juvenile court as sug-
gestion to parents and a warning to erring
youth.
Court officials, believing that old-fashioned
sessions in the woodshed accomplished consid-
cradle good, Investigated the relative merits Of
a paddle and switch, coming to the conclu-
sion that g a paddle sounds worse than it feels,
and that is the effect we want"
Ii we remember correctly, the youngster
of our day didn't go much on sound. If the
application of paddle resulted mostly in
sound successive applications were not partic-
ularly feared. The keen cut of switch, on the
other hand, had somewhat lasting effect.
We wonder if there is a moral for the
courts and other law enforcement officials
somewhere in this.

rs PROSECUTOR William H. Remy proposes
to make war on persons who, without
permits, carry guns while riding in automo-

The prosecutor is on the right track, but
he is sadly handicapped by bonehead law.
On recommendation OF two citizens it is
possible to obtain permit to carry gun.
Three bandits can get together and obtain
three guns by recommending that one another
be given permits.
There has been great deal of agitation in
Indiana for years for more stringent laws on
possession and carrying of firearms. The agi-
tation apparently eliminated in law making
possession Of firearms easier.

Peace Insurance

Z" ri UT your faith in peace and keep your
l powder dry, !" is the way Commander
John R. McQuigg of the American Legion sums
up the legion s attitude on national defense. 1t
is sensible attitude.
1.-The legion believes firmly in the World
Court, not as cure for all international ills,
on total preventive of war, but as measure
which will help adjust difficulties between ma
tions, y he said.
''We must not allow our enthusiasm for
peace to warp our judgment. 1t is unthinkable
that Nation Of 100000 people should
abandon peace precautions. The legion knows
what war is and it does not want any more but
it does want to preserve the Nation for which
thousands of our boys gave their lives"
Commander McQuigg wants court to adj
just human differences but he does not want to
abandon the police force which comes in
mighty handy when somebody tries to use
force to bring settlement out>of court. That
is common sense.

| TIE DEATH
| PENALTY

TIP YARD STEWART,
r Negro, OF Indianapolis,
IL went TO the electric chair
in the Indiana State Prison early
Saturday morning and paid with
his life for the murder of an In
dianapolis feed store proprietor a
year ago.
Probably the punishment fitted
the crime. At any rate the pen
atty he was forced to pay was a
mighty serious lesson to him. He
won't plan another assault and
robbery.
But of the eighteen murderers
convicted in Marion County last
year he was the only one to suffer
capital punishment. The other
seventeen received sentences of
Imprisonment varying from two
years to life.
Why should he alone attain the
unenviable distinction OF electro
cution? The immediate effect of
his crime was the same as that of
the other murderers. He cracked
his victims skull with an iron
bar. The victim was buried soon
after. The victims OF the other
seventeen nNurderers convicted
were also buried as the immediate
results OF the crimes.
1t would be interesting II
caucus of the eighteen victims
could be held and their views as
certained as to which OF the con-
victed murderers should receive
the death penalty and which inn
prisoument.
Much may be argued for and
against the death penalty as legal
punishment. The moose or chair
may be effective crime deterrents
or relics of barbarism. Whatever
their character, they should be the
end Of all murderers or none.
If we execute only one out of
eighteen convicted muderefs, or
one. out OF hundred, capital
punishment is worse than useless.
II is then an instrument of in
justice, not justice.
