. ' . . "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.

the door , had opened and ? closed

realized that Dicky had not mov
ed after closing the door. 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. . .

noiseless as I could make it, 1

at what the light revealed, I for

over the book I had read every
thing but the fact that' dishevel-1

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 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 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

chorus choir. The first week of the
meetings, which begin today, will
include services on each evening
except Saturday. 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

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 . ' -
Fortunjately I have had much
experience with swoons, " and in
sickness 'and accidents of widely
differing kinds, so that I Was not
as much alarmed as I otherwise
would have been", but even with
