der the operation Of this provision Of the Baumes law
in which the penalty seemed to be wholly disproportion-
ate.
The Baumes idea was not devised to deal with such
cases as these. The idea is being perverted. It was
meant to deal with real, hardened habitual criminals
not mere weak brothers and sisters. It was set up q
an axiom in its advancement, that after q third Of
Tense the violator palpably was incurably criminal and
that the protection Of society demanded life i'm
murement when another offense should be added to the
previous three derelictions. There was no basis in fact
for this theory. 1t was q purely arbitrary assumption.
Now that the law is being oppressively applied on the
basis OF a techncality, the public conscience is aroused
against it. 1t calls for q discarding, of the theory Of q
fourth offense proving habitual ~turpitude. Why may not
some offenders released after q third offense prove even
more menacine to society? It all depends on the charac-
ter of the crime in which they specialize. Surely a
homicidally- inclined offender would be a greater danger
on his first release than, TO rexample, the woman who
sold a pint Of liquor or the woman drug addict who stole
some cheap finery and perfume.
Warden Lawes, of Sing Sing, feels very much that way
and he has come out with a declaration that many of
those who, on conviction of four felonies, were sent to
prison for life. should have received a less drastic PEN
atty and might with entire safety to society be freed
from prison.

American Genius Abroad

. - l (OeCTOlC NeWS)
Every so Often one reads Of some mammoth achieve
ment of Americans abroad. which has been in process
for a long time out Of sight Of Americans at home, and
the completion of which is a great surprise to them.
Such a work, now almost finished, Is the Marathon dam,
which is impounding water for the municipal supply Of
Athens.
The capital of Greece has never had an adequate water
supply; spring water is sold for drinking and cooking
purposes, and a bath is almost unobtainable. The
Marathon dam will give it a per capita supply OF ten
gallons a day, little enough compared with Detroit's 125,
but a fair average for a European city in that part Of the
continent.
What is the American contribution? An American firm
contracted for the work: American engineers planned it,
They found marble in the adjacent hills, and made 1t
their material. They embedded the ends Of the dam in
a porous limestone dixie, which they reinforced with clay
and liquid cement. They built observation galleries in
the dam. equipped with automatic devices for signaling
any trckle of water. They built q tunnel through the
mountain separating the newly-created lake from Athens.
and found and utilized subterranean sources OF water
which nobody had known about. but which the engineers
had predicted. Finally, they planted fish in the new
lake to eat the larvae Of mosquitoes.
The work is the wonder and admiration OF the Greeks,
and American stock, in SO far as engineering Is concerned.

sequence.

To Stabilize Wheat
est, Paul DiSpatch)

N0ts 1ASR0VNAO
Creation of q wheat sterilization corporation, with
power to purchase almost unlimited quantities OF wheat.
as proposed to the Federal. Farm board by the wheat
advisory committee, seems to be a logical course for the
board to take in its struggle with the grain surplus.
Attempts to stabilize market prices have been under
taken by the Farmers National Grain corporation.

duty of this corporation is to provide facilities for CO.

Their Generalization Of prices. Advances already made
by the government to the corporation for orderly mar

That the Farm board has not .envisioned farmers CO.
operative associations as m emergency instrument Is
evident from the boards previously expressed concep-
ton Of means Of aiding the farmer, IN which cooperative
marketing plans are referred to as "a longtime PROPOSE
tion," and the Sterilization corporation discussed as "of
emergency character"
The sterilization corporation Is designed to meet just
such an emergency q now exists. With resources Of the

City Planning

The foresight which would control city evolution on
regulated lines Of zoning, planning, parking and beauti-
fication is one of the widespread manifestations Of
municipal thought these days. Bismarck has been feel.
ing the urge, both through the city commission and the
Association of Commerce. If the latter can develop
some program, the commission is disposed to enact some
legislation to put the city on such a foresighted basis.
Bismarck has lots Of company in its trend toward a
policy of planning, according to a survey made recent
ly by the division of building and housing Of the De-
partment of Commerce.
A tabulation made from returns to missionaries sent
to various cities, towns and villages in the United States
shows that at least 691 of these municipalities have Of
fetal planning boards or commissions in existence. OF
this number. 2o8 are cities having in 1920 a population
of over $4,000. comprising more than two-thirds of all
the cities in that population group. The other 483 vary
in size down to villages of less than 1000, and several
of the smallest of these have less than 500 inhabitants.
The large number of municipalities of all sizes which
at this time have planning commissions. and the fact
that the interest in planning activity is not confined to
any one region of the country, indicate a general appre-
citation OF the need for modern city planning, according
to the department.
"Cities having planning commissions are believed to
be more apt than others to exercise foresight and true
economy in controlling the laying out and improvement
of streets, the location of parks, Fairgrounds and public
works, the development Of transit and transportation
provision for street traffic, and in the equitable regula-
ton of private use of land through coming ordinances,
the department said.
The tabulation, in addition to summarizing the total
number Of planning commissions now in existence
groups them according to states, presents data as to thu
number of members of each commission, the numbe
appointed and the number serving as ~ex-officio mem
bers, the terms OF office and the titles of the executive
officers. It also indicatess which Of these cities hav
coming ordinances in effect.

The Baumes Law Perverted

Another Of the striking reactions of this period Of re-
pudiation Of law on the part of a public seemingly not
IN sympathy with various drastic enactments is the very
patent hostility to further prolongation of the Baumes
law in New York; law originally created to deal with
habttual offenders. but, like the Mann white slave act
and some other drastic specimens of fiat morality, since
diverted to fanatic penalzation of offenders Of a really
minor character of felony.
Michigan also has this law and there the governor
has been moved to grant clemency to some of the Of
tenders sent W for life terms. One of these was a wona-
m who sold a pint Of liquor. At the time the case stirred
up q great hue and cry, but Michigan was in such a
righteous mood that not even the fact that she was the
mother and support Of two children gained any consid-
grafton for Mrs. Miller. Ruthlessly she was thrust into
prison for life.
There has been the inevitable reaction to this and
other cases in not only Michigan and New York. but
likewise in other states. The pendulum Of opinion as to
what is law and what is fanaticism has been swinging
back and the public is ~regaining that balance which
should always be the basis of enacting law and then re-
Gpecting and observing 1t. Unfortunately, some of the
inspiration that has been behind lawmaking might be
diagnosed as . temporary attack OF st. Vitus hysteria.
There also has been q good deal Of busybodyism on the
patton to take up their time rather than to have idle
moments In which their vanity to reform can devise legal
oppression capable Of being diverted. as the Baumes
law, to persons not by a wide stretch Of the imagination
animated by criminal ~turpitude.
such laws as referred to might not in themselves, If
honestly administered. be such a reproach to justice, but
By diverting them to unreasonable application they be-
come obnoxious to the general sense Of right and break

JOYS of Buying a Home

There are dozens of ways Of classifying the people OF
the United States. You can divide them up as "etS
and drys, modernists and fundamentahsts, paclllsts ana
militarists, conservatives and liberals, and SO on; put
one Of the most obvious, all-inclusive DIVISIONS is one that
is seldom made.
It Is the division that you get when you CLASSIFY peo-
pe according to their views on the d~esirabhity OF owning
their own homes.
In the one camp, where dwell the home-owners, you
will hear much talk about the economy OF making pay
ments on a mortgage instead of paying rent TO a land
lord. You will hear, also. of the joys OF home owner
ship; the joys of yard and garden, the pleasure OF nav
ing a house all to yourself, the happiness that comes
from ownership Of your own roof.
The other camp will be quick to scott at all OF these
points. It's adherents will tell you that the quickest way
to make yourself poor is to saddle yourself with mort
cages, interest payments, taxes and the like. They Will
point out that the apartment-house dweller has his fires
hu,,t. his walks shoyeled and his ashes removed by a
iauitor whom someone else pays; and they will add that
tending a lawn or making a garden is more like hard
work than fun.
You know all about the arguments on both sides. Prob
ably you've shifted back and forth between camps. OIL
and on, for years. And we wouldn't take sides Tor the
world. But here's a new angle on the thing, contained
in Z letter which a young home-owner recently wrote to
the editor Of the Lakewood Ohio Post. Part OF 1t is
worth reprinting here, as follows:
"When a fellow like me suddenly begins to get an &C
tual kick out Of going to a very ordinary job, the fact
deserves mention. And when the same fellow begins to
work seriously to get a raise out of the boss, instead OF
. rise out Of a blond stenographer. that fact also be-
longs In the book. I did get a raise. Six months later
I got another. and I didn't ask for it, either"
The change that the writer Of this letter describes
came. he says, because he was buying a homeland was
therefore. obliged to keep his nose to the grindstone
economic to the limit and tend strictly to business. He
had to give up his Kitchen GIN parties and his poker
games, and he and his wife had to substitute hamburger
With onions for tenderloin with mushrooms; but, in the
end, they found out they were having lots more fun.
All Of which, Of course, is only another way of saying
that life doesn't taste just right unless we have a def
mite objective in it. The purchase of a home, for many
Thousands of people, provides that objective. It's hard
work. and it often pinches pretty hard; but sooner or
later they discover that they're getting a kick out of it.
That's an argument that the opposing camp has a
hard time meeting.
