Has such a defense any place in our laws, except to change a sentence from capital punishment to a life term in the peni tentiary. The punishment for criminal acts is meted out to the offender, primarily, for the benefit of society. Any punishment that will not protect or better society is HiiMppiieu. j A person who has been "emotionally insane" is always dangerous. The con ditions that have driven him to one crime may occur again with the ame results.. It may be a plea to show that the act was not premeditated, but it still shows the offender to fee a dangerous member of society. The plea of emotional insanity is a menace to the safety of the people. It is a t'linly cloaked dummy made by some lawyers to deceive justice. Pardon granted to a criminal on that plea en- j courages crime ana oners no pruiai,Muii to the community. Beautiful New Carpets and Rugs j Arriving Dailv. W. H. BOHNRNKAMP CO -THE JlHCtr The Carnegie Library book committee of Spokane, finally admitted to the shelves of that institution Upton Sinclair' great book "The Jungle." To have excluded it would have been to empasize the bigo ted idocy of the objectieg member of the committee, the leader of whom wa Jewish rabbi. The book i really a startling yet perfectly true presentation of the conditions surrounding the working men of Chicago. Incidentally it exposes both the heartlessness and criminality of the big meat packers. Such subjects call for some gruesome details, not only in regard to the horrible methods of preparing food products, but in regard to the social life of the wage tiaves who are in the packers' employ. Tne bock has been credited with so in fluencing President Roosevelt that he in sisted on prelecting people outside of the sute of Illinois from being poisoned by tne impure packing house products. The sute of Illinois will now have to eat the diseased stock that the packers formerly distributed broadcast over the country. Probably the Illinois legislature will take same action to protect the local citizens. Upton Sinclair has put into words the heretofore unspoken appeal of the pack ers' employes for fair conditions, it is questionable whether the workers them selves realize their debased state. It i of record that many slaves in the South before the Civil War were contented, and numbers of them did what they could to help their masters in the struggle to perpetuate slavery. So it I with the poor, brutish wage-slave of th packer. They may be depended upon to assist in maintaining present condition if their job are seemingly at stake. Far from excluding "Th Jungle" from any library, it should be given th widest possible opportunity to accomplish its up lifting mission, and should find a place in etery public reading room. The volume is already in the Obser ver i dock case. It looks like the irrepressible William Randolph Hearst would be successful in his efforts to land the Democratic nomin ation for Governor of New York. He might be elected, too. Mr. Nicholas Longworth, daughter of the President, i guing on a bear hunt, and will chaperons a party of young women into the wilds of Minnesota. It would be an unappreciated bear that would hide out when this galaxy of beanty wants to perforate him. It's up to the Minnesota bruins.
