Judg" Says Murder Each Is Minutes
Would Leave 200 Over at Years End.
By Times Special
RICHMOND, Ind, March 31.-"If
all the criminals in the world we're
to be jailed there would still be
crime, and similarly, if all murder
erS were hanged, killing would con-
tinue to excite the country" de-
clared Judge Alonzo L. Bales Of the
Randolph circuit court, in address,
ing men of the Central Methodist
Episcopal church here.
Judge Bales Illustrated the crime
situation in America as follows:
If one man took it upon himself
to do all the numbering which is
annually done in the United States,
and if this one man murdered one
individual each eighteen minutes, at
the end of the year he would still
have 200 men left to wipe out at
single stroke"

A BIG JOB AHEAD
dan Wallace in The Farmer)

The staff of The Farmer and FS&H is thor
onghy converted the idea that the failure OF the
Farm Marketing Act would destroy much of the con-
fdence in the future of agriculture and would set
back cooperative marketing for many years to come
If farmers generally refuse to support the Farm
Board the organization of agriculture, so much to
be desired, will be indefinitely postponed. In that
event the only relief for agriculture must come thru
the continued operation of the law of the survival
of the fttest which in turn driving people OIL
the land and taking land out of production to point
where demand overtakes supply This is not pleas
ant thing to think about.
The Farm Board has three definite obstacles to
overcome before it put its program across. The
first obstacle is found in the natural opposition to
be expected from commission men, specuators and
others whose business will be interfered with if the
Farm Boards plans put thru. The second OBJ
stacle is found in the fact that there are large
number of officers of existing cooperatives all of
whom are jealous of their jobs They are trying to
keep their organization out of the picture until
they know just how they will be taken care of per-
sonaly. The interests of farmers and of agriculture
are being sacrificed because of the personal selfish
ness these job holders The third obstacle to be
overcome is the apathy and misinformation of a
very considerable group of farmers who are not yet
sold the idea that the organization of agriculture
is the most important piece of work that could be
DONE not only for agriculture but for the nation
a whole. The Federal Farm Board has big job
ahead in hurdling the three obstacles have men
toned. Time alone will tell whether this is possible.

WORLD WAR LEADERS

Reviewing what has happened to the
great leaders of the World War, recent
writer notes the fact that among them all
Hindenburg alone today occupies high place
in world affairs. Rounding out five years as
president of the German republic on April
26, he is still active at the age of 83, with
two years more to serve.
Of the other great military leaders,
Foch, Haig, Cadorna, Diaz and Grand Duke
Nicholas, of the Allies are dead, as are also
Molke, Falkenhayn and Hoetzendorf, of the
Central Powers. All of the prominent iv-
ing generals of the war are in retirement, in
Guiding our own Pershing.
Among the political figures of 1914-1918,
only Lloyd George is still active, and he no
longer holds an important office. President
Wilson, Gar Nicholas, Emperor Francis
Joseph, Premier Asquith, Premier Clemen-
ceau and Chancellor Won Bethman Hollweg
are dead; Kaiser Wilhelm is in exile.
Thus briefly runs the story to date of
those who guided the movements OF more
than 65 million modified fighting men, OF
whom 10 million died and 20 million were
wounded, in struggle which changed the
map of the world.

NAVAL TREATY GESTURE IN
RIGHT DIRECTION

After 90 days of deliberation the London
Naval pact was signed by the United States,
Great Britain, Japan, France and Italy Tues
day afternoon.
The treaty is a gesture in the right di-
rection but doesn't really accomplish much.
The United States, Great Britain and
Japan have a three-cornered pact which will
permit Uncle Sam to scrap some battleships
and build additional cruisers by 1886, to place
this country on parity with Great Britain
If Great Britain becomes unduly wor-
ried over the activities of France and Italy
she can build more ships. Should Britain
build additional tonnage Uncle Sam can fol-
low suit
The American representatives all able
attended this conference with an hon
est desire to accomplish something worth
while in naval disarmament. European dip
lomacy is built on plane of intrigue which
does not permit them to deal openly with
each other and with natural suspicion of one
with the other, it was mighty hard to make
any real progress.
Perhaps the one outstanding feature of
the conference is the complete understanding
between this country and Great Britain.
This feeling of good will was started several
months ago when President Hoover and
Premier Mcdonald had fishing trip at the
Presidents Virginia camp.

ETHICS AND JOURNALISM
Minnesota Mascot

A correspondent to this newspaper asks the ques-
ton whether journalism has no code of ethics, if
there rules in the game of journalism. 1t
would be fair to retalate by asking another ques-
ton does the individual live within ethical code?
Professional codes of ethics to be found in
every organized endeavor but they mean nothing if
the individual feels responsibility to them To
criticize Christianity because everyone who processes
belief in religion does not heed the ten COM
mandments is justified berating the profession
of journalism because some of it's members indulge
themselves in unethcal practices.
If an editor is palpably wrong if he 'tears his
fellow creatures limb from limb" our correspond
ent suggests the man is in error and not necessarily
the profession.
Careful though profession may be, though it's
standards be strict malpracttoners will always find
their way into membership When they come into
conflict with the law of the land, when they fail to
meet the approval of those whom they serve, their
end is quick and certain.
Newspapers, in sense, public utilities and
there but few editors who not conscious of
their responsibility to the people who buy their pa
pers Influenced they will always be; each of us
must own to the thought of someone else in forming
our opinions, newspapers therefore will always be
subject to bias.
Day in and day out the profession of journalism
is trying through it's associations to preach to it's
members the Importance of higher standards and
high ideas. News columns less influenced by
prejudice today than at any time in the history of
And if the individual finds himself wronged by
the newspaper there is profession which is thor
oughly guarded by the law. The slanderous editor
lays himself open to the operation of the libel law,
which is very inclusive in practically every state in
the union The wronged person has always recourse
to the law In Minnesota, where the newspapers are
subject to gag law" publication may be SUI
pressed by court action. Twice every year the
newspaper must give its sworn statement of owner
ship and editor speaks in print his words
always record for against him-of what
other profession is that true?
Newspapers better than the men who are
at the head of them the people who subscribe to
them. If the press is as vtated as our correspond
and the roots, like cancerous growth may back
to the audiences themselves

BLOTON OHIO

The holocaust which cost the lives of
more than 800 prisoners confined in the Ohio
State penitentiary at Columbus, is blot on
the name of that great state.
For many years there had been dire
need of a penal Institution which would safe
guard the inmates from the ever preve-
liant fire hazard of the old prison.
The Legislature of Ohio knew the condi-
tions but had gambled with fate for years by
procrastinating.
The fact that the fire was started in sew
eral places by the inmates themselves in a
we'll planned scheme for an attempt at whole
sale escape does not relieve Ohio from severe
criticism.

Sale of Products of the
Saltwater Prison Grow
Income For 1929 Close to Four
Million Dollars, Farm Machin-
cry Sale Increasing

Saltwater, April 16.-Gross sales
of the products of the Saltwater
state prison industries during l929
aggregated $3,716,71O with twine
the most important product of the
extensive plant maintained to keep
convicts at the prison occupied and
which makes possible self support
of the institution without demand
for any funds from taxation.
Twine production totaled 24,32O,-
| 28O pounds while sales of farm
machinery were also large. A total
of 2,351 binders were sold; 4,O9l
mowers, 4,O89 rakes, 2,O12 hay load
| ers, 1,O4S transport trucks and 1Oe
tongue trucks.
| The industries at the prison are
| operated under an accounting sy.
stem distinct from the prison
Based on payments made on paper
by the industries to the prison for
use of prison labor the tabluation
for 1929 shows a 'loss" of $27, ,1Oa
| while in 1928 the ''loss" was $780,.
9O4. Prisoners are also paid small
sum for their labors by the in.
dustries with which they are per-
| mitted to purchase tobacco, books
and other items which the prison
does not undertake to furnish them
with.
Under the accounting system en-
ployed the prison receives an allow.
ance for each day for the labor OF
each inmate and the prison in turn
uses this for defraving the cost OF
maintaining the institution.
But, the operation of the indus
tries have been complicated by the
fact that there are many more prls.
| oners than the industries require
and thus in order to keep the con-
victs employed many more men are
being used for given tasks than
would actually be necessary and
the industries are forced to pay the
prison for men not needed. How
ever, this all works out as the pri-
mary function of the prison is to
maintain custody of it's charges,
members of the state board of con-
troll explained.
From the proceeds of the twine
and machinery sales representing
profits in past years the prison OBJ
tanned funds with which additional
buildings have been constructed
and has built up revolving fund,
much of which is invested in raw
materials for the industries.
In addition temporary loans are
made from the state investment
board to provide operating funds
which necessarily are the largest
just before the sales seasons begins
each year for the industries must
have raw materials on hand
| throughout the year.

PUBLIC SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS
SHOULD BE SUPPORTED

With the ever increasing use of the au-
tomobile the question of public safety is
serious problem for officials and individual
citizens.
Last year approximately 2,700 persons
were killed in the United States and 1000
injured at grade railroad crossings.
In almost every instance these accidents
could have been prevented had the driver of
the cars used wee bit of precaution.
Statistics show that the passenger train
of average length will pass given point in
the country in seven seconds.
The driver who endeavors to beat the
train to the crossing is, in most cases, jeop-
ardizing the lives of others, as most autos
carry more than one person.
Many times these manned and killed
are women and children.
Oftentimes the driver of the automobile
is directly responsible for the collision. In
some cases like, for instance, when Mr..
Hamilton, of Osakis, was killed in an acci-
dent which occurred on the Sauk Centre
West Third Street crossing few months
ago, by Commute late Great Northern
passenger which was pulling through town
at very rapid rate, the railroads respon-
sibility was particularly apparent as there
were no railroad warning signs on the east
side of the tracks.
In 1929, 535 people were killed in Min
nesota as the result of motor vehicle acci-
dents. Three hundred sixty-seven occurred
outside the three large cities.
The Minnesota Safety Council has been
organized to cooperate with the proper Of
fcers in an endeavor to reduce accidents. The
Herald presumes this cooperation will be
largely through the awakening of Mr.. Aver
age Citizen to his responsibility to the end
that he will use every possible precaution
while driving his automobile
Branches of the organization are being
established in all sections of the State and
the Herald would suggest that steps be taker
to organize branch in this city.

Corn Breeders Reveal DOuble-Cr
Method


Method
"Double-crossing" may be frown-
ed upon as a social or business
practice, but as a method of corn
breeding it is decidedly advantage
Gus and seems destined to revolu-
tionize seed corn selection and
production. Through the double
cross plan of corn breeding, scien-
lists at the Minnesota Agricultural
Experiment Station have produced
strains of corn which under actual
field conditions are capable OF
yielding nearly Is per cent more
than Rustler and Minnesota no. 13,
at the same time maturing earlier
and more uniformly.
Crossing, as the corn breeders
use the term, means simply cross
pollination-using the pollen from
plants of one variety or strain to
fertilize the ears on plants of an
other strain. The double-cross
method of seed production involves
three distinct steps: First inbreed-
ing for several generations to pro-
duce inbred or selfed lines that will
breed true. Second, crossing or
cross-pollinating these inbred lines
to produce first generation crosses.
crosses to give second-generation
or so called double-crosses. The
double crosses are seed which
farmers may use for growing their
acreages.
All of the crossing is done by
artificiaMy controlled pollination,
the purpose of the whole process
being to control inheritance of the
corn plants just as the livestock
breeder controls inheritance in his
animals. An interesting new bull
etin entitled Double e-Crossed Corn
in Minnesota" and prepared by DR..
H. E. Brewbaker and DR.. f. r.

in an understandable way. Write
