The Whip
(St. Paul

ISL. Paul D1Spatch)
Desperate emergencies frequently invite desperate
remedies. 1t is accordingly not at all surprising that Sc
rious and thoughtful men should consider unusual means
to check crime. Out of such consideration has come the
suggestion that the whipping post be revived as a punish
ment for crime.
Increased punishment for the apprehended wrongdoer
is the resort to which the average man turns almost
instinctively in seeking a method Of deterring criminally
inclined members of society. Present penalties, he rea-
sons, have failed to deter criminals: hence. they are
evidently inadequate. Punishments that are more severe
seem to be the answer.
Sound as this appears there f abundant evidence to
indicate that increasing penalties for crime do not nee
essarlly increase the deterrertso crime.
The attitude of Europeans toward criminal punishment
is seth forth in the report of the commission on European
methods IN penal treatment headed by former Governor
Lowden OF Illinois. Discussing ideas of countries which
nave Deen more successful than ours in dealing with
crime the report declares: Though there is no let down
IN Europe in the general attempt to make punishment
swift and certain, the thing which strikes ones atten-
Con is the absence OF any tendency to more severe
penalties or harsher prison regime While we Ameri-
cans seem to think crime can be held in check by punish
ing severely an insignificant fraction of our criminals,
Europeans believe that it is far more effective to impose
who offend"
european opinion Is sustained by experience of criminol-
ogists IN this country. Pointing out the fact that many
criminals escape punishment entirely and that the laws
delays render imposition Of any penalty remote, they
urge that swiftneSs and certainty of Justice would do
more than severity to make crime unattractive.
The whip apparently fails to commend itself as a crime
deterrent less because Of its inhuman and unclvlized
attributes than because of the simple fact that it is in
effective in preventing crime.
\ Crime will become more distasteful to the weak and
the wicked when possibility Of escaping punishment.
Whatever 1t Is, becomes virtually impossible. Mild punish
ment that IS swift and certain and inescapable will dis
courage more crime than the severest savagery meted
out to a small minority of offenders.
No matter how horrible a punishment may be, criminals
VIII be only mildly fearful Of it so long as they feel con-
tident OF their escape and certain Of their acquittal, If
they fail to escape. More competent police and swift
justice rather than harsher punishment seem the better
crime deterrent.

d Is the
Anniversary OF
SURRENDER

Law
On Oct. II, lit, the turning point
in the American Revolution was
reached when General Burgoyne sur
rendered with about 5000 men to the
American General Gates at Saratoga,
N. Y.
Burgoyne landed in America early
in the year and wa placed in COM
mand of a powerful expedition of
10000 men with orders to penetrate
into New York state from Canada
and then march south to Join Cen
eral Howe's forces, so as to divide
the American confederacy in half.
Burgoyne captured Ticonderoga on
July 6, but on Aug. 16. q detachment
Of his army was almost annihilated.
Then, after two decisive defeats at
saltwater, he surrendered to Gates.
Washington permitted Burgoyne to
return to England, but the king re-
fused to see him.
Burgoyne went over to the opposi-
ton party and resigned his appoint
ments, but on a change of ministry
at the close Of the Revolution he was
appointed commander in chief in
Ireland.

The Hard-Boiled Coach

A middle-western newspaper, in a sports-page story
discussing football at a certain college. told how the coach
indignant because his team had been badly beaten, gave
the players a severe tongue lashing" and told them that
they lacked fighting spirit"
1t is none of our business, of course, but we are in
clined to wonder just what license any college football
coach has to talk in that vein. After all, a college foot
+ Ill team, is not a collection of hard-boiled, thick headed
professional athletes: it is a group of young men who
are-in theory, at least-playing a game for the fun of
it. A coach who adopts the eat 'em -alive, dictatorial
attitude toward his players is simply out of place.

Employ Own Citizens
adams County Record)

adams County Record)
At the present a number of states are carrying on
extensive road building programs. One of the ~justifica-
tions for this is that it will offer employment to many
people out of work. Yet, some of the states are COM
planning that the contractors employ help from other
states.
Within the past week action has been taken by at
least two states to force contractors to hire their own
citizens first. In New York. Governor Roosevelt warned
all contractors that they must employ New York citiz-
ems first. In South Carolina the Highway Department
has instituted an investigation to ascertain exactly how
contractors.
This IS quite proper. While it is very good to be
sympathetic about unemployment conditions elsewhere,
each state owes it's own citizens the primary duty. AS
far as possible, when state funds are being expended,
the citizens of that particular state should be the ones
to reap the benefit of the employment provided.

Vests opening is the six spot. Six
from eleven leaves five. There are
two in the dummy and two in the
East hand, therefore East knows the
declarer holds one card higher than
the six. If dummy now plays the
eight, East should not play the ace,
but should play the ten, which would
force the declarer's queen, and in this
manner the declarer would get only
one trick, while if East were to go
up with the ace. he knows that he
is absolutely setting a trick in dunn

West opens the five spot. Dummy
should play the six spot which forces
East's ten. The declarer now wins
with the ace and can safely take the
finesse, as by applying the rule Of
eleven, five from eleven leaves six,
he knows that, as there are three in
dummy and declarer holds two and
the one that East held was forced on
the first trick. the queen is in the
West hand.

The Torchbearers

The old saying that "the hand which rocks the cradle
rules the world' is just as true now as it ever was and
no one will dispute it at great length.
It takes nothing away from credit due to the mothers
of the race, however, to add that the teachers OF the
world do much to mold it's destiny also.
For that reason, and there are a host OF others,
the meeting in Bismarck of the teachers of the Mis-
souri, Slope country is of particular Importance. The
weather and a mechanical failure on the part Of the
equipment at the city auditorium c~onspired to give
them a rather chilly reception last night, but that unto
ward incident is no indication Of the regard in which
Bismarck holds it's visitors. Local folk suffered the
disconforts of a cold meeting place with the same stole
fortitude as the visitors.
But Bismarck's heart is warm toward the teachers OF
the country because it sees in them an agency for the i'm
provement of conditions, not only now but in the future.
The attitude of mind which the citizens of the future
bring to the problems which confront them will be de-
termined largely by the teachers which the public pro-
vides for them. A survey of Bismarck's visitors at the
present convention gives assurance that this attitude
will be favorable 20 sound development. They are a
competent, conscientious and well-trained group, these
Slope country teachers, and Bismarck Is glad OF the
opportunity to entertain them.
Too often, persons are inclined to delegate to the
schools a good many of the jobs with regard to the
mental, moral, social and physical development Of chill
dren which should be done at home. The teachers them
selves, through the work of parent-teacher groups and
by other means, are helping to ~dissipate this erroneous
idea. They have a sound knowledge of what the public
can reasonably expect from the public schools and they
are doing their best to live up to this expectation. At
the same time, they know they cannot, alone and single
handed, cure the ills which modern civilization is heir to.
The teachers of today are the torchbearers Of civiliz-
alton. AS much, almost, as the mothers of the land, are
they responsible for the ideals of the coming generation.
W. are confident that, despite the ~handicaps under
which many of them work, they are doing a good job
and the public appreciates their efforts.
But, perhaps, the best way for the fathers and moth
ers of North Dakota to show that appreciation is by
aiding them in their work; by preparing their children,
during the pre-school years, to receive the teachers
instruction in the right spirit and by so training their
children at home that the teachers work in school will
be made easier. This is cooperation of the kind which
the teachers will appreciate.
