Murder in Canada

Canadian authorities, preparing to execute young

the of protest rising from the United States.
They simply don't understand, that's ALL They
don't realize that OF the inalenable rights of
the free-born American citizen is to put his murder
esses on pedestal; to be soft-hearted about them
when they get arrested to acquit Them in 80 cases
out of 100. and to shed many mawkish tears over
the 1ooth who chances to get her just deserts.
Apparently the Canadians don't do it that way.

To the Editor:

| 10 the Editor:
I believe that all laws should be
obeyed If not just, then they
should be repealed All laws are not
just. Law is a rule of action pre-
scribed by a superior to be obeyed
by an inferior I believe in temper
ance, but I do not approve of the
methods some of the dry enforce
ment officers resort to in trying to
enforce it.
In The Times. Dec. 7. there was
statement that Calvin Steavens.
proprietor of a restaurant at Sweet
ser, Ind, obtained liquor to accom-
modate a good customer of his
place, he declared in Federal Court,
where he faces a charge of violating
the prohibition law.
The good customer" was Edward
Steinberger Of indianapolis, hired
by a Grant County merchant to get
evidence against dry law breakers.
Now I claim that Steinberger and
the merchant who hired him are
equally guilty with him. The same
methods were used in Muncie. and
III almost every paper you read of
an almost similar case.
A short time ago a case was called
to trial and the witnesses had drank
up the evidence, and it had to be
dismissed. If you hire any one to
commit murder you are equally
guilty with him. so it should be in
other law violations.
Others seem to think such
methods are all right and never lift
voice against it. But I do not be-
lieye that when an officer is sworn
to uphold the law he is privileged
to break it.

A CONSTANT READER.
To the Editor

Relative to the flood prevention
legislation now before Congress,
permit a suggestion for such protec-
ton, without draining the peoples
pocket, provided the engineering
features can be worked out. Build a
comprehensive levee system along
both sides of the natural spillways,
such as the Mississippi and tribu-
taries. Let the top Of the main lines
be hard-surfaced roads.
Construction costs eventually
could be taken care Of by Moderate
road and waterway tolls. Bonds
could be sold for immediate provi-
sion Of funds. The roads and water
ways ultimately would become free
highways, or practically so. The
surveys and engineering work would
be done at Government expense.
This great road and waterway
system would be of more benefit to
the now floodable lands than flood
prevention alone possibly could be.
Such plan would provide just what
the floodable districts need-good
roads-which can not exist under
flood conditions.
The work would also provide use
full employment for the growing
army of the unemployed, and reduce
crime. Today, through highly Or
ganized productions systems. manu-
featured goods are made with half
the labor of ten years ago. Another
decade will reduce the pro rata con-
sumption of labor still further.
When farming becomes as highly
organized, it will see a large labor
reduction. Therefore, great public
works are needed to provide employ
ment and enable us to hold our own
in world competition. The parkways
provided by riverside roads soon
would become famous arteries for
the flangeless wheels of commerce
and society.
Napoleon B. was employment and
road wise, and our own John D. S
probably would support such a.
movement. AL B. HALL.

Guarantee of Justice

conscience not only serves the in
dlvidual as a guide. but affords So
ciety its best protection.
Conscience, though an inherited
faculty, depends a great deal on
training.
Our notions of right and wrong
are chiefly what we have been
taught. When you train your child
in matters of conscience, you not
only give him a reliable guide for
his own actions, but you give So
ciety its strongest safeguard.
Conscience inspires more people
to do right than the law, and pun
ishes more Of those who do wrong,
1t is the one thing criminals cam
not escape, judges overrule or COVER
nors pardon.
In the final analysis, it is the ons
guarantee OF anything approaching
exact justice we have.

How can newspaper clippings be
preserved?
A good method is to mount them
between two sheets of strong, thin
transparent material such as silk

pings together in some suitable
manner with fasteners. This treat

sheets and delays the chemical
changes in the wood-pulp fiber OF
newsprint paper.
