How would you like to have to go their for

Would you like to attend church services
once a year when some travelling mission

But that is just what it is coming to here, if
the folks are taking any stock in the Produ-

OF course, if you do not want your
children educated, havn't any property;
don care to attend church or have your fa-
mily attend church, and have no civic pride,
it might be a different story. If the people
here want to go backwards instead of for

How will this affect your own proper

MOB LAW VERSUS
CAPITAL
daniels County Leader)

While little or no sympathy is felt for
the victim of Wednesday nights lynching
at Schafer, North Dakota, the inconsistency
of the facts surrounding such cases is re-
grettable.
Charles Bannon, charged with the muir
der of a family of six, was taken from the
jail at Schafer and hanged to a bridge two
miles from the town by a mob of about six
ty men.
1t is true, Bannon had no right to live,
even behind prison bars. Without law to
guide our action we at once pronounce the
death sentence upon a dog or a bull or an
elephant which, in a fit of madness, displays
the killer instinct. But here was a fiend in
human form who wantonly murdered a ia
Their, mother and four children and covered
his tracks SO cunningly that the crime was
not discovered for the greater part of a year.
No civilized public can tolerate the ex-
istence of such criminals.
The mob of men who abolished this
one did a service to mankind, but at the
same time it violently contradicted its own
verdict at the ballot box.
The people voted four to one against

BIG BUSINESS AMI OUR
HOME COMMUNITY

According to "RETAILING' a daily
issued for the trade we learn that Sears Ro-
buck & Company has cut their pay roll
500, 100000 per week. This in spite of the
fact that in 1880 they made gross sales of
$500, 1892, 10000, but they paid cash divi-
dends to their stockholders of 81 SIS, $50,
and stock dividends of $4,6l SIS, also
leaving them a balance of surplus profit on
hand Of $77, 1865. 008. What a charitable in
stitutionl They laid off between 10 and IS
per cent of their employees the first of the
year.
Montgomery Ward & Company re-
ports only a small profit of $423,2n for
1880 but in 1929 thel made a net profit af-
ter all taxes and other deductions were made
in the princely sum of $~l3,434,935. Yet,
they show and earned surplus for 1880 of
; 5,254,424, but they paid off call loans in
a total Of over SO, 500, 1000 and reduced their
mortgages, notes and accounts an additional
$7,858,000. They show net sales for 1880
amounting to $249, 097 ,223, and SO they
are making money in spite Of the depres-
sion period.
1t is such concerns that local merchants
have to combat. Nowhere in their financial
statements did we find where they had given
anything to charity. There is seldom a day
goes by that our local business houses do
not have to contribute money for some
worthwhile movement or for charitable pur-
poses.
If it was not for our business institu-
tons having donated literally in the past to-
wards ur hospitals, the farmers and resi-
dents of this territory would have to go at
least 100 miles to the next nearest hospital
and the people of this territory listening to
the false and misleading price quotations Of
the red rag OF communism are led to contri-
butte literally towards the mail order houses
and should this condition continue throwing
their money to these vast mail order con-
Germs it will be only a matter of time before
you will have to seek disqualification at
some far distant points.
Our merchants also pay heavy taxes
towards the upkeep Of the P~lentywood
schools. Let those who cannot see beyond
the end OF their nose-penny wise and
pound foolish-take this into consideration
before they buy that next P. 0. money order
for a junk order Of prison made or sweat
shop goods. If they want our schools to

Lincoln turned quickly and, half smiles,
half tears, replied, Go along, old man, go

der him to be shot, he'll grow to be as old as
Methuselah.'

Lincoln's greatness consisted not of his
~eloquence as an orator, nor his shreWdness
as a lawyer, nor his tact as a d~lplomatist,
nor his executive ability, but in his absolute
s~elf-control, his unselfishness, the full ma
turity Of his wisdom, the strength of his con-
victions, his sound judgment, his absolute
integrity, his unwavering adherence tc the
principles Of truth, justice and honor, his
humanity, his love of country, his sublime
faith in the people in Republican institu-
tons.
February II, the anniversary Of the
birth Of Abraham Lincoln, is commemorate
ed annually throughout the North. 1t is a le-
gal holiday in eight states, and is widely OBJ
served by special exercises in the public
schools. in clubs and societies, and this year
is being featured by Lincoln Day dinners by
the Republican party throughout the entire
United States. Thus is kept alive the mem
DRY of that wise, witty, and God-fearing man
who guided the country through the terrible
struggle Of the Civil War, who saved the
Union and abolished slavery.
mo custodian of absolute power ever
exercised it so b~enignly as Abraham Lincoln
His ~interposition in behalf Of men sentenced
to death by cour-martial became so demon
alizing that his generals in the field united in
a round-robin protest. Both Grant and Sher-
man cut The wires between army h%eadquar-
ters and the White House, to escape his in
reference with the iron rule of military dis
cipline, said Henry Watterson in a Lincoln
day address delivered at Chicago, some years
ago.
a characteristic story was told by John
B. Ally, Of Boston, who, going to the White
House three days in succession found each
day in one of the outer halls a grey-haired
old man, silently weeping. The third day,
touched by this not spectacle he
went up 10 the old man and ascertained that
he had a son under sentence Of death, and
was trying to reach the President.
Come along said Ally, I'll take you
to the President"
Mr.. Lincoln listened to the old mans
pitiful story, and then sadly replied that he
had just received a telegram from the gen
eral commanding imploring him not to inter
fere. The old man cast one last heart-broken
look at the President, and started shuffling
toward the door. Before he reached it, Mr..
Lincoln called him back.
Come back, old man. he said, Come
back The generals may telegraph and tele-
graph, but | am going to pardon hat young
man.
Ihereupon he sent a despatch directing
sentence to be suspended until execution
should be ordered by himself. The old man

capital punishment.

Yet, it must not be construed from
these facts that the men who lynched young
Bannon constituted a blood-thirsty, crazed
mob which was temporarily irresponsible.
The facts seem to be that only the force nee
essary was employed, that there was no wild
tumult, but a deliberate and direct action.
For, incarcerated in the same jail was Ban
mons father Jointly. charged with his son of
the murder. The mob did not attack him,
but told him he would have his chance in
court. The young fiend, it must be admitted
had at least one human thought; he plead
with the mob not to harm his father who
was innocent he said.
North Dakota cannot legally put such
criminals as Bannon to death regardless of
their crimes. Its people voted four to one
againts death as a penalty for murder.
Montana law provides the death penal
ty for murderers. Yet comparatively few
murderers in this state are put to death.
Had Montana had no capital punish
ment statutes, it is quite probable that a
nearby county would have been the scene
of a lynching just a few years ago when
young Schlaps murdered a man and his
wife.
Too many people confuse capital pun
lshment with revenge upon the criminal.
The death penalty is not vengeance; it is
just a measure of protection against wanton
killers, degenerates and morons. =.
Confinement in prison could more apt
ly be termed punishment or revenge. To
punish is supposed to educate. There are
criminals who can be and are shown the err.
ror of their ways. But the wanton killer can
not be educated Prison has few terrors for
him, but the thought of his own body dang
ling from the end of a rope or being jolted
into eternity by electricity frequently stays
his hand.
Too often we let a foolish sentiment
persuade us against capital punishment as a
fitting penalty for murder. And a sentiment
al people usually constitute the mob. J.
Lynching should be discouraged at any
cost, because few mobs display ordinary
common sense. The well-balanced, thought
ful man does not join the mob.
Lynch law sets a poor example for our
youth. 1t is a th%row-back to savage instincts
and for thousands of years we have been
trying to educate our youth away from
savagery. But it is natural for our youth to
initiate their elders. We know this is true, for
no child is born craving for liquor, tobac-
CO, or with foul language on his tongue. The
child initiates for a time; the habit grows.
If our laws are inadequate in prescrib-
ing proper treatment for the criminal, let us
change the laws. We have it in our power to
do SO. But even the poorest mind amongst
us cannot uphold mob law.
