sponsible for his acts, we cannot be
surprised that there would naturally
be a breaking down and a breaking
away from those high standards of
morality which ought to exist in So
ciety.
again, there seems to be misun-
Outstanding as to why courts are
maintained. Learned people in some
of the professions and some states
men seem to advocate change in the
method of trial of prisoners change
in the punishment and change in the
form of the tribunal that admins
tiers the criminal law of our country.
Some of them urge that we transfer
that duty from the judges to expert
physicians who have knowledge of
the mind-who have special knowl-
edge of Psychologist determine
whether the man ought to be punished
or whether he ought not to be pun
ished. The very basis of that doctrine
is wrong. 1t is founded on the theory
that the object and purpose of courts
of Justice is to take care of morons
and criminals; that their object is to
act as school for the training Of the
criminal and defective. That is not the
purpose for which courts are main
tanned. The object of the courts is to
maintain and protect society. Why,
sometimes this Court has received re-
quests from ten, twenty and thirty
people asking that traversers-and l
don't mean boys, but | mean grown
men-confrmed criminals-be turned
loose upon society on the theory that
they are defective, proceeding alto
gether upon the idea that the trav-
erser, the rights of the traverser and
his interests must be considered.
"The number of criminals in this
country is very small in comparison
with the great body of people, and
our courts are maintained for them.
1t is to protect the lives and the prop
erty of the men, the women and the
children who are not offenders against
society that courts are maintained,
and not in order to take care of the
irresponsible and the criminal. There
are agencies and societies whose duty
it is to do what they can to help those
who cannot help themselves, and that
is right, and it is great work which
needs to be done, but it is not for the
courts to do. Courts are not organized
for that purpose. We have juvenile
courts in some of our counties, and
this Court acts as juvenile court for
some purposes where children are in
volved, but this Court is not main
tanned for the purpose of caring
for and of trying to see what can
be done to reform criminals. The
object of this court is to protect soci-
ETY. against the criminal, and that is
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1929-06-06

the idea that must be borne in mind
by the Grand Jury in all it's delibera-
tions. The Grand Jury is the founda-
ton stone of our criminal law, and if
the courts are to accomplish the ends
for which they are designed they can
only do so if the jurors perform their
duties properly.
"There is one more thing that l
want to call to your attention, and
that is that the men who are selected
and summoned for this important du-
ty constitute the Grand Jury from the
time they have been so chosen, even
though not yet sworn. They are men
set apart for this work just as truly
as if they were in session in the grand
jury room. No man has right to
approach any member of the Grand
Jury about anything having connec-
ton with his duties, either during
the sessions of the Grand Jury or at
any time. No one can properly ap-
pear before the Grand Jury except in
the Grand Jury room, as witnesses,
and if anyone should attempt to dis
cuss any matter of official business
with any of you it is your duty to
warn them that you are members of
the Grand Jury. If they persist in
the attempt after warning it is your
duty to bring it to the attention of
the Court or the States Attorney.

thing all of us must understand, that
it is now more than one hundred and
twenty-five years since this govern

came from Europe in order to find a
better government than existed there,
to find more freedom and a state of
society which allowed them greater
opportunities to live their own lives
without interference, especially with
respect to religion and some other
things, and the men and women of
that generation, therefore, had deep
appreciation of the value of the gov

Only One Trip This Week

Col. Bell was sent on only one trip
this week and that was to Fairmont
on Monday evening to get few init
mate glimpses of how people behaved
when they stood up in front of some
thing and talked to nothing. Col.
Bell had hard time getting in the
studio but he made his camera look
like one of these newfangled musical
instruments and passed off as one of
the Harmony Boys.
He caught Mayor Fraley as he was
pointing out the advantages of Oak
land to numberless radio listeners.

Among the Veterans

After the services at the cemetery
on Memorial Day, the procession
moved toward the business section of
town. The Boys band headed the
parade, and between that body and
the members of the American legion
were veterans of former wars. In
one car were Messrs. burst, Hayden,
Sines and Meyers, and in another Ed.

HEALTH is ALL
IMP ORT AN 7
Less Than Half q. S. Homes Prop
erly Preserve Food.

A refrigerator left standing all
winter without ice is a wasted op-
portunity for health and solid COM
lean homes, it has been estimated,
have any kind of refrigerator or
lice box" and of this number less
than about one-fifth, or about 2,000,-
900 families use them the year
round.
In the summer time when the food
is kept in a well-insulated refrigera-
tor, the inside temperature can be
kept well below fifty degrees. This
means that the food, especially milk
and meat which are quickly perish
able, are kept pure and free from
poisonous bacteria. Vegetables are
crisp and appetizing, and the great
est possible degree of cleanliness
is secured.
But with the lengthening of the
days and the chilling of the nights,
housewives seem to forget the i'm
portance of maintaining this stand
ard for the family food and resort
to all manner of makeshifts, accord
ing to the Leonard Institute of Food
Preservation, Grand Rapids, Mich.
Sometimes food is put outdoors, COW
cred to be sure, but exposed to all
the elements and to extreme change
in temperature. Window boxes are
used, which sift in all kinds of dust
and dirt, or, perhaps worst of all, the
food is left in the refrigerator when
it is un-iced.
1t is wrongly assumed that the
outside temperature will take care
of preserving food during the cold
months. Nothing could be more mis-
leading. In the first place, food that
is frozen changes its flavor decided
ly, and is afterwards much more
liable to rapid deterioration. Then,
too, most of our cold weather comes
in spells" alternated with milder
temperature. Actual examination of
official weather records for different
parts of the country shows that
there are on an average only nine
teen days out of the three hundred
and sixty-five when natural refrig-
Grafton is possible; that is, when the
outside temperature registers the 4S-
SO degrees declared by refrigerating
engineers to be the right tempera-
ture for food preservation.
In some ways, there is more need
for keeping the family's food clean
and bacteria-free in the winter as in
the summer, because it is a recog-
nized fact that we catch cold easier
and have more minor illnesses dur
ing the winter months. Therefore,
our systems are less able to stand
the effects of toxic poisons which
may be set up due to the imperfectly
preserved foods.
A good refrigerator represents an
which will pay health
dividends the year round, if it is al
lowed to. An all-steel refrigerator
with approved insulation will give
the desired cold temperature and
consume the least amount of ice con-
sistent with efficient refrigerating
Of the food. One bad cold, caught
in running back and forth to the
back porch or in opening window
box, may cost more in doctors bills
than all the ice used in winter.

ACID-LOVING PLANTS NEED
CAREFULLY REGULATED SOIL

Acld-loving plants, as many horti-
culturalists know, will not thrive in
a garden that does not have soil of
proper acidity. Azaleas, Towering
dogwoods, rhododendrons, lily-of-
the-valley, trailing arbutus, fringed
bleeding heart and mountain phlox
are among the acid-loving plants
favored for their beauties. For sue
cessful culture of such plants it is
necessary to provide soil that is
definitely caid in reaction, and to test
the soil once or twice a year to be
sure that it remains acid and is not
sweetened by lime rising in solution
from the subsoil or carried up by
earthworms.
Edgar T. Wherry, chemist in the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, has found that scientific OBJ
serVation does not uphold some of
the traditional indications of acid
soil, for example, the reliability of
moss or of sorrel as signs of soil
acidity. Moses, he finds, may grow
on highly alkaline soils, and are
more likely to indicate low fertility
than acidity. Sorrel will also grow
on alkaline soils, and is more fire.
quently seen on acid soils only be-
cause the competition by other
plants is less effective there.
Not all the leaf mold in the woods
is acid in reaction. Peat-moss or
sphagnum moss, on decomposing,
produce acidity, as do the leaves and
litter from such plants as rhododen-
dron, kalmia, and blue-berries. Tests
with litmus paper, or with one of the
other dyes that change color accord
ing to the degree of alkalinity or
acidity of the soil, are the safest in
dicators of soil acidity. When the
garden soil is naturally alkaline or
neutral and the gardener desires a
bed of acid-loving plants it is prefer
able to dig hole in the garden and
fill it with soil known to be acid,
although it is also possible to acid
ify the soil by applying chemicals
or by the use of mulch of acid
producing litter.

FARM HOME MAKERS HAVE
A LONG WORKING WEEK

More than 63 hours a week is the
average working time" for 700 farm
women who kept records and re-
ported to the Bureau of Home Eco
nomics of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
They reported an average of So
hours and IL minutes spent on
strictly home making activities
alone. This is more than the A
hour working week which is the
standard in industry, the bureau
points out. In addition, these wom-
en- spent an average of IL hours and
, 13 minutes week on dairy work,
care Of poultry, gardening, and other
outside tasks.
Some of these 700 home makers
lived in the Middle West, some in
New York State, and some in three
far western States. The group as a
whole represents rather superior
home makers-those likely to cut
down working time by intelligent
methods. For the country as
whole the average working time
would probably be higher, the bu-
reau says.
Figures for the New York home
makers are typical. Thew show
that feeding the family occupied 25
hours and 81 minutes; cleaning and
Strengthening the house required
hours and Is minutes; and that other
items in the care of the house added
2 hours and IL minutes. Laundering,
sewing, mending, care of clothing,
care of children, and other manage
ment and miscellaneous items filled
the remaining hours of the total.
Clearly the farm home maker en-
joys very little of that leisure the
modern woman is popularity credited
with, according to this study. The
city home makers situation may be
somewhat different. For the farm
home maker, however, ready-made
clothing, ready-cooked foods, and
better equipment and household con-
veniences have not offset the fact
that at present she gets much less
help from other members of the fam
lily than the farm mothers of 40 or
so years ago. At best the farm home
maker still has long day, and by
industry's standard may be classed |
as overworked, the Bureau of Home !
Economics concludes.

Slaughter Beach

The storm at the beginning of the
week made the departure OF the
writer of this letter bit easier. Had
it been a clear day like Sunday with
a warm sun and balmy breeze off
the water the going would not nave
been as welcome. This will be the
last letter from this source until an
other season.

Capt. Clarence Plummer seems al
ways to be able to find the right
place to take his fishing parties. A
crowd from Greenwood OF five men
went out to the fishing grounds on
the past Saturday and caught SO
fish. William Reynolds was high
man with 26 to his string.

who had high score at bridge; Mrs.
Earl Atkins, Mrs. Louis Ryder, Mrs.
Charles Banning, who drew the con-
ISOLATION prize; Mrs. Thomas q. Rey-
nolds, and Mrs. J. S. Hallett, who
had low score. The Simpsons will
likely leave the beach this week.
Earl Atkins is able to be at busl-
ness again after an illness with ton
silitis.
Mrs. Thomas Reynolds came uCwn
on Saturday for the day and while
here entertained seven ladies to
luncheon and an afternoon of bridge
in honor of her birthday. The day
was ideal and her guests enjoyed
the weather as we'll as the cards.
Mrs. Herman Johnson, Mrs. R. Ar
thur Derrickson, Mrs. Anna Dawson,
Mrs. Thad Windsor, Mrs. Robert
Griffith, Mrs. Wallace Burn and Mrs.
Wilbert Joseph were the guests. Mrs.
Reynolds gave as prizes two baskets
of crabs which were won by Mrs.
