The federal agents made short
work of picking up two Of the
Weyerhaeuser kidnapers-a man
and a woman-and are hot on the
trail Of the third. Both Of the men
have criminal records and would
not have been free to commit this
crime were it not for our easy pa
role system. The parole system is
humanitarian, and has had some
good results but it has failed mis-
erably in keeping adequate super
vision Of persons of known Grimm
al bent. Men with criminal
records could be much more easily
supervised than be re-caught after
they have reverted to crime.-Mor-
ris Tribune.
Through a printers error it is
said that the Oklahoma Legislature
passed a bill providing funds to
prevent an epidemic Of babies"
The trouble with the bill was that
the printer started the last word
with a ID" instead of an "r''. 1t

itor.
Under the provisions of the new
law in Wisconsin, every restaurant
in that state must serve two thirds
of an ounce of Wisconsin butter
and two thirds of an ounce of Wis
consin cheese with every meal
costing a quarter or more. Just
how many pounds of Wisconsin
butter and cheese will be wasted
in this way and how many new
inspectors will be placed on the
states payroll is difficult to es-
innate but it would seem that if
Wisconsin is determined to waste
butter and cheese more efficient
method could be advised. 1t may
be, of course, that we are a little
biased on the subject but it does
occur to us that a little money
spent in advertising the excellent
quantities of Wisconsin dairy pro-
ducts to the rest of world would
mean a bigger net return to the
good people of Wisconsin than en-
forced wastefulness among them
selves of the things they produce.
1t has been pretty well demonstra-
ted by now that we can't drink
ourselves into prosperity and many
people are now beginning to sus-
pect that we can't loaf ourselves
rich. The Wisconsin experiment
may further prove that the way to
wealth is not through waste

Confusion of Thought
Children riding bicycles think, If
they think at all, that drivers of
automobiles should look out that
they don't hit them. Automobile
drivers, too many of them, think it
is the children who ss<ould look out.
With this confusion of thought
accidents are sure to occur and an
occasional child killed, as told
about day of so ago in the news
columns. We know the type of
driver who thinks everybody must
must look out for him. He never
slows up at street crossing and If
there is a pedestrian he honks his
blasted horn and expects the per-
sons on foot to jump lively.-Fair-
mont Sentinel.
An Honor Code
Many interesting stories are told
of the honor code at Washington
and Lee University where it was es-
tablished by General Robert Lee
when he became president of the
school in 1857.
No supervision Of students is ex-
ercised during examinations, yet
cheating is virtually unknown.
Nothing is locked up about the in
stitution; books, articles Of cloth
ing and al sorts Of property are
left anywhere with the assurance
that they will not be disturbed.
Several students help to pay their
expenses by selling sandwiches,
candy, apples and the like, but the
sales are made without the pres
ence of clerks. The articles for sale
are displayed with price cards, and
customers help themselves, placing
their money in the cash box. Dur
ling one football game more than
$125 worth Of lapel buttons were
thus bought and paid for without
the supervision Of anyone, except
that when the box was filled with
bills, a passing professor placed a
weight on them to keep them from
blowing away.
New students are thoroughly in
structed in the requirements Of the
honor code and impressed with the
importance Of rigidly observing it,
