Forest fires today menaced tim

were in hospitals after being over
come by heat in fighting the flames.
Continued dry weather was
blamed for spread Of the fires.
George Phillips. state forester.

combating the two largest OF 26
separate fires discovered by state
forest wardens. He termed the sit
uation critical.
N. NJ. Mcbride. r. C. Duke and
w. f. Ward. all of Broken Bow, were
overcome In the fire fighting.
The largest OF the fires, which re-
NAMED uncontrolled. has burned
over 5000 acres near Ringgold, in
the line between Pushmataha and
McCurtain counties, Phillips said.
The second major fire. after raging
over 1000 acres near Pine Valley in

FAIRBANKS MAN
 ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

Evan T. Reese is lowering be- tween life and death in the deten- tion hospital in Fairbanks as the result of an attempt he made to end his life.
 Mental derangement, says the News Miner, probably caused by Ill health, is held responsible for the act. Reese slashed his lett wrist with straight-edged razor and then cut his throat with jack knife, piercing the larynx. The wrist wound was superficial but the loss of blood was considerable and coupled with the fact that Reese had been in i'll health made his condition grave.
 Reese has been in the district TOT a number of years. He has been employed by the Fairbanks Explor- ation Co.,, at various times and last winter worked for Paul Palfy.

MAKING PUNISHMENT CERTAIN

The continued inability of American society to
cope successfully with its underworld has led to
increasing agitation for and severe
ures in dealing with criminals; and in this agitation is
demand for laws that will send "habtual criminals
so-calIed, to prison for life.
New York and Michigan have such laws, making
a life term mandatory upon the fourth conviction of
a felony Other states considering similar meas
ures probably half dozen legislatures will
debate the subject this winter.
But before such strict measures adopted, it
would be good thing for all of to consider the
fact that is often not much the severity of punish
ment as the certainty and speed of punishment that
acts deterrent.
A writer in The Worlds Work points out that
Judges criminal lawyers SOclOoglStS and prosecutors
throughout the United States agree that the thing
that encourages the underworld than anything
else is the thought that man who breaks the law may
do with very good chance that he may have
to pay the legal penalty. And the chief reason for
this in turn lies in the police departments, but in
the courts.
First of all, there are delays. In nearly all
criminal cases, reasonably clever lawyer can get
delay between and trial of at least six months
sometimes twice thrice that much.
Then there is a whole hos, Of legal technicaljtieS,
by which a often be set free without the Ques
ton of his actual guilt innocence being passed
upon. A classic is the recent acquttal of Col
Robert W. Stewart charge of perjury Col
Stewart freed, not because the jury held that ne
had not lied but simply because the senate committee
that questioned him had not had quorum present
Such things rob severe penalties of their terror
If to bear down the criminal, 1t might be
wise to tighten up legal machinery first Other-
wise the stiff sentences won't do much good
