To the writer of the editorial
Law by Mob:
In the particular crime to which
this editorial refers, it seems to
me, the so-called powers of
justice" would bow in shame at
their miserable failure, saying, II
have had two chances to deal
justly with this fiend and turned
him loose to utterly wreck the
life of an innocent little mother
less child; therefore, deserve not
another chance to deal with him."
What security do you suppose
we mothers of small girls feel in
the law? Don't say powers of
justice" for justice has no part in
such a proceeding that will allow
a man his freedom after twice be-
ing found guilty of such a crime.
Any grown person knows that
any man who will attempt to mo-
lest little girls, be he successful
iii his attempt or not, is not a
man to be allowed freedom.
There is something in that per-
sons makeup that makes him a
menace to every innocent child.
This same person attempting
such a crime before cit was cir
cumstance and no fault of his that
he failed) was fined $40 and costs.
Another time he was sentenced
from 2 to IA years, and at the end
of two years, knowing this vile
streak was Embedded in him, he
was again turned loose to ruin
the life and health of as innocent
and sweet a little girl as ever lived,
years old, scarcely beyond baby
hood!
Since the law is failing us pro-
lection for our children by it's
protection of such demons, what
else is there for us mothers to do
but ask the masses in general,
Help us to deal justly with this
degraded fiend, that he may not
be sent back into our midst to
ruin more of our little girls"
California is the only state
which has had the courage to
sanction the justice which the law
refused to give Maybe, in your
estimation, they have degraded
themselves, but I feel that we, by

PROTESTS RECORDS" ON
ENDING OF COMBAT

BY Frank G. Mathusack
United Spanish War Veterans Or
CARNATIONS claim the Boxer rebel
lion and Philippine instruction
ended July 4, 1902.
Let us see what records of War
Department show. War with Spain
lasted but a short time. The first
to be discharged were Teddy's Rough
Riders, Sept. Is, 1898, at Montauk
Point, N. Y. Others followed from
that date until all we're discharged
January, 1899, our newly acquired
subjects, the Filipinos, rebelled. At
that time we had but small force
Of Army there. The War Depart
ment sent all troops that could be
spared to the scene of trouble. In
addition Congress authorized %
regiments called United States VOL
unteers, specifically for service in
Philippines only, and they we're to
be discharged as soon as order was
restored, which was done as last
regiment of that group sailed from
Manila on June Is, 1901. They were
all discharged, as their services were
no longer required.
In the Boxer rebellion in 1900
Army troops from "the States and
such as could be spared in Philip
pines were sent to China. When that
trouble was over survivors were Or
dered to Philippines to complete
what remained to be done
Instruction was over when the
military governor vacated and
turned over Ayutamiento, the cap
ital, and all islands, to the newly in
augurated civil governor and his
staff, the first part of July, 1901.
The record book of instruction
then was closed.
Whatever local disturbances
there may have been in some south
ern islands after that time belong to
another history, but not to war or
instruction.
U. S. w. V. claim and plead for
certain members who were in the
service prior to July 2, 1902. as it
was not their fault because the gov
eminent failed to send them where
the trouble was. Let me ask when
did an enlisted man ever have the
authority to order his superiors and
when was he ever given the right
to choose his station or duty; and
! later demand the government give
| him credit for war when the coun-
try had none during his term of
service?
The trouble with our own sub
jects prior to 1901 was an insured
ton. Local disturbances after civil
government was established in July,
1901, can not be called instruction.
What about men who enlisted
after the war was over and when
their outfits were ordered to Phil
ippines in 1899, where the trouble
was, and found excuses and political
| influence to be transferred to outfits
that remained home?
Two of our former Presidents We
toed Spanish War Veterans bills.
Why? Because both were informed
by War and Navy Departments that
ranks in U. S. v. w. were packed
with unnecessary claims.
Our present President, when
| Congress gave him authority,
dropped many unnecessary claims
from rolls. U. S. w. w., with pro-
fessional lobbyists, are doing every
thing in their power to defeat his
act.
1t is the fault Of our law makers
when they yield to lobbyists, accept
ling and allowing them deene dates

NOT IN DOLLARS

IT'S value is not calculable in dollars
This, the last line of a series of stories
by Times staff writer on the economic i'm
portance of log dams in Indiana, tells potent
story.
1t is true that the value of log dam projects
can not be estimated in dollars The value of
land that may be ruined for the present and
the future in Indiana would run into such
enormous figures that they would not be con-
ceivable. 1t would appear as though the esti-
mator had lapsed into an astronomical CAL
culation.
Despite the catcalls of the New Deal critics
on the sidelines, the series in The Times
showed that the water table in Indiana is
dropping rapidly due to erosion following de-
forestation. And the real angle or this point
is that unless the level of ground water is
maintained throughout Indiana, the land will
become useless for farming.
The proposed log dams would hold back
high waters that bring annual floods and over
flows and would permit this water to sink back
through the earth where it would be most
beneficial.
Looking at the proposal on a long-term
basis. these dams are really an emergency
measure to conserve soil in this state They
would provide for wooded growths-by holding
back the ground water-that. in turn, would
solve the most serious of irrigation and flood
control problems
To fail to support program for log dams
in Indiana is to invite soil disaster that could
not be ren1edied for generations to come.

Comments ON Frankfort Case

the laXness in our law which is di-
rectly responsible for this crime,
should feel ourselves below criti-
cising the method of any states
dealing with criminals.
We should be so ashamed of the
fact that we have allowed one
man to commit three such crimes,
that until such a time as we can
point with pride and say, Such a
thing can happen only once in
our state" we should make no
comment; least of all, pat our
selves on the back for our quick
work in protecting such a man.
This little child who lies, pitiful-
ly patched together, on a bed in
our hospital, was a playmate of
my own little girl. She was the
idol OF her daddy since the loss of
her mother four years ago. He
watched over her carefully and
loved her deeply. On this par
ticular night he had gone to meet
her and had missed her.
Finding she had gone home, he
ran all the way back to find her;
only to find her little life ruined
and broken. How do you suppose
I can read such silly drivel about
powers of justice" and so on and
not be frantic when my little girl
is five minutes later in returning
from show or an Grand?
If half the precaution had been
taken to protect this child as was
given to protect this man from
just punishment, this crime would
not have been committed. I only
know that 1 can feel the protec-
ton of law is all for these fiends.
To feel secure I must, all day,
every day, have my child by my
side until such time as our law
makes assault or attempted as
sault upon children punishable
only by immediate emasculation
and life imprisonment for the
guilty one, without subjecting the
public to the expense of trial.
Then, should the guilty person
through filthy politics secure his
freedom, his physical condition
would render him harmless. Such
a law should be passed irnme-
diately, and with no loopholes.
This article l am writing for
publication, that you may realize
the position of panic of those di-
rectly affected by such crimes.

gress
The President permitted the first to get
through the House (by eight votes) before
he turned thumbs down.
The second, now before Congress, is a re-
vision of the first. The sole important i'm
provement is the section abolishng existing
mail contracts which the Post Office Depart
ment found were obtained illegally
The President complained vigorously in
March against abuses under present construc-
ton loan laws. Even So the operator had to
put up at least Is per cent cash for a new
ship, the government lending the rest.
But the revised bill would permit the oper-
ator to dip into the Treasury for the entire
cost-with repayment in Is equal annual in
stallments. and thus perpetuates abuses to
which the President objected.
Opponents of the revised bill say at least
20 major amendments are necessary to make
it even tolerably respectable These amend
ments admittedly would not assure a sound
merchant feet. They are offered only to pro-
tect the Treasury from looting
Although thus far ignored by congressional
marine committees, the Moran bill, providing
government construction and private opera
ton of vessels under charters, seems more
practicable solution. Under the Moran plan,
we might actually develop an adequate mer-
chant fleet-which is what>we have paid SUBJ
sides for. but haven't got, and wouldn't get
under the Copeland-Bland plan of pouring
more money down the same rat hole.

Keeping Time in Music

One of the most difficult branches
of music which a player must mas
ter is that of keeping time, writes
an authority in the Montreal Her
aid. The mind is so concentrated
on the notes that their relative
length is forgotten, and where there
is a chance of rhythm, the time is
invariably broken. To keep time
with a changing rhythm is certainly
no easy accomplishment. The first
beat may consist of two notes, the
second three, and perhaps eight
notes to the third beat, yet these
eight notes must not occupy more
time than the beat of two notes, and
therein lies the difficulty.

Lobo Wolf

The name lobO wolf Is applied to
the gray wolf or timber wolf. 1t Is
really a formidable animal, but In
its dealings with man it has learned
to fear the deadly rife, the poison
pot and the trap. Storms, cold and
fatigue affect it but little and its
powerful teeth, strong jaws and
wide cape enable 1t to bite with
great cutting power. In fighting
with dogs, every well-aimed snap
either means a deep wound or a
piece of flesh bitten out

Much Goat Meat Used

Goat meat in wholesale cuts and
carcass form quite generally goes
into the regular mutton trade, az
there is only occasional municipal
restriction against such practice.
In cities and towns adjacent to the
range, Angora wethers are freely
marketed as such and the meat is
consumed without discrimination by
the buyer.
