"LOCK THEM UP AND THROW THE KEYS IN THE RIVER ' "It Is not my place to tell courts, prosecutors, judges or Juries U.what they ought to do," commented Chief of Police Jenkins yesterday, "but I cannot but comment on such a slip-shod'- legal and; penal i system that allows a man of this Smith's type to be released once every so often to attack the little children of Portland.' ? ,V "This fellow has been arrested seven times in nine years for acts, each of which should have called for life imprisonment. In all prob . .ability he will get away again with a six-month sentence because of a legal technicality in the laws governing criminal attack) ' - XI "If the little girls of Portland are to be safe from such creatures and if the law cannot care for them; there ought to be some means of declaring Smith hopelessly Insane and keeping him In Jhe asylum for ,the rest of his life. We hear so much of this sentimental rot about reformation Of prisoners but the only way society can protect itself s.from men of this type Is to lock them up and throw the keys in the river. j,n ...The above is the conclusion of an article in the Oregon- ian of yesterday, quoting Chief of Police Jenkins of Portland, and referring to the arrest of Tom Smith there for an attach on a little girl. This fellow was first arrested for a similar crime about nine years ago.' He was sent to the penitentiary on an indeterminate sentence, one to ten years, under the name of Tommie Smith, a baker. "In less than; a year Smith had been paroled by a benevolent governor," says the inter--view.- Then he broke his parole and was returned ; then paroled again, in January, 1920. He was arrested for a similar offense in Yamhill county and sentenced to serve three years. He served two years and two months, and was released Jan. 1, 1923. Two days later he was arrested, for a similar offense in Portland and sentenced to six months in the county jail and to pay a fine of 500. He served almost a year. Two months after his release, he attempted a similar crime, was arrested and given the maximum sentence in the police court. Released January 8 last, he was rearrested in .two days for a similar outrage and again sentenced to. serve six months in jail and to pay a fine of $500 - - And in thd face of such a record, Chief of Police Jenkins is justified in his. conclusions, quoted above. v .. , , ' The fact is, the first sentence should have been indeter minate absolutely -instead of from one to ten years. Under the present parole law, he was entitled to ask for a parole ia five months; in half the minimum time, less a month for good behavior in prison. ; . ( 5 : , . All prison sentences ought to be indeterminate - And no man should ever be released who is not fit to become a law abiding and self supporting citizen. Every forward looking modern penologist in the world will agree to this statement . "P And the thing to "do is to agitate and educate till every body shall see the wisdom and justice of that rule, with all the reforms it will imply. This, and the teaching of crimin ology and penology in our schools, will in good time; perhaps a very long time, stop the breeding and training of criminals. the nation that Congress had set apart a day to do honor to the memory of a woman. The commemorative event was the unveiling'of the .statute of Frances E. Willard in National Statuary Hall where rests the statutes of other citizens illus trious for their historic: renown or for distinguished civic or military .services among them the statues of Daniel Web ster, Roger Williams, Nathaniel Greene, James A. Garfield, Robert Fulton and other distingushed men. Each state is entitled to two statues of her citizens and Illinois, her native state, was the first to present the statue of a woman. The progress of Miss Willard from graduation from col lege to the presidency of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union was remarkablej A teacher for a numberj of years, president of ; the Woman's College of Northwestern University and head of the most effective temperance organ ization in the world for nineteen years she exerted tremen dous influence for the betterment of humanity. . , Her great power was in her : sacred devotion to high ideals, her wonderful ability in organization and in her mar velous gifts of. oratory;1 Everywhere and always her voice plead for temperance and the other attributes of the Christ ian home. -And even tfiough her voice is heard on earth no more, the nobility of her character and her work will con tinue to live iri the statutes and the! life of the nation. A French airman was killed and his companion hurt in an attempt to beat the non-stop record. Colonel Mitchell beat the non-stop record for lambasting the higher-ups in the service and he is undergoing court martial proceedings. WAS WITH BILLY IK 11 M S Fred G.

He was standing motionless, inside the door, and I heard no sound but that of bis hurried, unsteady breathing. An utterly absurd buUterrifying thought seized me. Suppose I it were not Dicky standing- there, but some marauder who had in some way secured; a key to the 'rooms? "My- pulse seemed to stop and my flesh felt icy as I faced this possibility, but 1 knew there was but one thing to do. . . With a swift " movement, as noiseless as I could make it, 1 slipped from my bed on the oppo site side from the door,' and snap ped on the switch of the night lamp at the head of the bed. But at what the light revealed, I for got my absurd fear, my anger against my husband, ' my worry over the book I had read every thing but the fact that' dishevel-1 ed, pallid, shaking, Dicky was leaning against the wall, either Borely hurt ' or desperately 111 I did not at first know.- Then, even as I sprang toward him,' I saw the edge of a bandage beneath his bat, and I knew that he had experienc ed some accident. I'U Attend to This Myself." I wasted no time in exclama tions or questions. My long asso ciation with Lillian has schooled me in a habit which my mothers' teaching began long ago. I drew up a chair to Dicky's side, and slipped my hand under his arm. "Sit down, dear," I said softly. the caressing word involuntarily uttering itself. He slumped heavily against me while the pallor of his face deep ' "Bed," he whispered to my I re lief, for knowing his reluctance 0 THE WAY DICKY CAME HOME TO MADGE "CONSIDER THE RETAIL STORES OF SALEM The seventh of a series of advertisements published each Sunday in The Statesman for the purpose of reminding the people here of the many advantages of patronizing their home town merchants, is published this morning : And it is well worth reading. -, ; - ' The appeal is plain and straightforward and truthful. It shows that he man or woman who fails to patronize his home people is neither 100 per cent loyal to his' home town nor 100 per cent efficient in looking out for his or her own, interests. " . - ";t 'The way to build up Salem is to. patronize Salem peo ple," is a slogan carried by The Statesman for many years. It is a true slogan" . " ' And in fact a strict adherence to it by . every one here, together with a full measure of understanding of and loyalty to all our advantages and interests, jvvould make Salem over; would make over the surrounding country and the -other cities and towns of this district . " For we have it in our splendid resources and our own powers to make this the -most prosperous and progressive city and country in all the. world " i i 1 : And loyalty to our own is the first requirement-" FRANCES E. WILLARD , "On the .twenty-third of last month was commemorated throughout the nation, the memory of Frances E. Willard who for over a quarter of a century devoted her time and energies to bring about social conditions which would make' the world better place in which to live. I By the legislature of Oregon the fourth Friday of Octo ber. each year has been set apart as a day for instruction and appropriate exercises in commemoration of the life, history and achievements of this remarkable woman. : The nation has also honored her memory. The results of her life's work apd sacrifices are embodied in the eighteenth amendment to the. Constitution of the United States. - . ? V On February 17, 1905, both the Senate and House of Rep resentatives paused from their regular proceedings to pay her cwnory signal honor. It was the first time in the history of i FRED G.

The pastor will preach, lots of singing and a good time, j At the Sunday evening will read "Paul's Defense Before King iAgrippa." This wonderful bit of defense plea is regarded as one of the finest portions of the Bibles The pastor will preach on "The t Heavenly ; Vision." Mr. Fisher will sing. My hope of sleep, which should hantsh the remembrance or tne book I had read and had tortured myself into believing it -was my husband, did not materialize. I tried every expedient I knew, but j I heard each quarter-nour strike from the old chimes in a church tower nearby until a tan gible anxiety was added to the imaginary one which had been ter rifying me. Surely, I told myself. when 2 o'clock had Bounded, the most drawn-out banquet should be over, and I knew that It was less than a half-hour's journey from the big hotel where the affair had been- held, to our humble apart ment. - . : i Dicky ought to be home. ;c Suppose something had happen ed to him? Unless to tell myself that if my husband were the man about whom I had been reading, he was distinctly not worth worrying about, and my life would be more peaceful if he never came home That primal emotion of woman fear of danger to her mate, swept over me, held me tense, breathless agonized for the hour and a half which elapsed" until I heard the hall door ; open and 'close and Dicky's key in the lock. Then with something akin to the emotion which prompts a mother to slap' a child .over whose disap pearance she had been agonizing, I found myself unwilling to greet him kindly, or even to speak to tim if I could help it. and cuddl ing; down into the bedclothing so that there was left only an a per ture for breathing, I pretended to be as'eep. A Terrifying Thought I kept up regular and deep to be "dpctored, or j had not ventured to "babiod," I suggest his s-est " tying down. . But he was almost a dead weight upon me when I fin ally gpt him to the bed and with the whispered words: "No doctor,' he fainted. - J .
