The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1935-07-11

Some young criminals, apparently,
can be adequately managed only by
the electric chair. In their case 1t
seems useless to talk of reform, or
another chance" They are distinctly
Of the rattlesnake class.
Consider a twenty-fve-year-old ma
chinist, captured in Peoria, who con-
fessed to murder when the clothing of
a dead girl was tossed into his lap.
"Yes / did it," he sobbed. This young
murderer kept diary, which in one
month recorded 10 attacks on young
women. The electric chair should cure
his sobbing.
In the lutte of Anglo-French friend
ship and understanding there comes
rift, wide enough to let coach and
four drive through. England, dealing
directly with Germany and Hitler, now
rejects the French suggestion of
consultative pact" which would COM
pei Britain to consult France before
reaching any important diplomatic con-
illusions.
That ought to interest this country.
which agreed to consult everybody
on earth before building mere ships,
or fitting it's big guns to the most eff
fective angle.
1t is stated, bluntly, by British Of
fcials: Britain is placing greater
stress on friendly cooperation with
Germany, closer consultations with the
British dominions, and steady drift
toward cooperation with the United
States"
News from the Department Of Com
merce would surprise the recent de-
ceased Blue Eagle, and others: "Busi-
ness shows sharp upturn throughout
country since death of Blue Eagle"
This is the skeleton announcement;
the details show retail sales increas-
Ing, in, spite of abominable spring
weather, in some of the big cities.
Union labor demands that all United
States railroads be nationalized, owned
by the people, run by the government.
Reason? Private owners do not know
how to run them. The roads would be
bought, not confiscated, presumably,
which would mean twenty to thirty
more billions of national debt.
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Laura
La Plante-surely you know her
after work on the set near Monte Car
los gambling room dressed up and pre-.
sented themselves for an evenings en-
tertainment.
The doorkeeper said bluntly: "You
work in Monaco, so you may not enter
the gambling rooms. That's the rule"
To their amazement they did not enter
the gambling rooms, although young
Mr.. Fairbanks is said to have threat
ened to buy the whole institution.
Monte Carlo wisdom is in that rule.
The Casino spreads money among Mon
aco's inhabitants, but will not take
the inhabitants money, and so avoids
trouble.
Another wise ruler is Mr.. Bradley,
who owns the tourists "wide open"
gambling house at Palm Beach, but
will not allow natives to lose In his
place. When you gamble, you know,
you lose. If you do not know it, try.
Mussolini has a habit, annoying to
Britons especially, of digging up past
history. He is expected to tell the
British: Il want protectorate over
Ethiopia, with free hand, and in
vite you to remember what happened
to Germany's colonies after the war;
You promised to give Italy her share
if she Joined the allies, which she did.
The war ended, and you British COB
bled up all the German colonies worth
having"
Sheriff Miller of Martinez, Calf,
knows that the weakest thing in
superstitious man is his mind. Attack
that and you have him. Anacieto Tor
rest said he had not killed Area Cab
rera. In locked drawer in a cell
occupied by forrest the sheriff con-
cealed a loud speaker, muffled to
make it sound ghostly, and continually
forrest, not knowing whence it came,
heard voice saying in Spanish: "You
killed me. / am Areas ghost. You
had better confess. You know you
killed me-"
forrest thought it unwise to ignore
the advice of ghost and confessed
accordingly.
