What is the result of the "emotional
insanity" plea in our criminal courts?
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.

-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.
