Spanking As a Cure
While crime waves have swept this country until federal
prisons contain almost twice as many prisoners as five years
ago, and all penitentiaries and jails are filled to overflowing
in the United States, England shows a remarkable diminution
of crime. There are more homicides in a single American
city than in all of England and other crime is in about the
same proportion.
lociay were are only 8,uuu people in English prisons,
where as fifty years ago there were 20,000. The number of
those in penal servitude has dwindled during the half century
from 10,000 to 1,000. Practically a third of the prisons in
England and Wales have been closed since 1914 and the 35
still in use have many empty cells. In the same period, the
federal prison population of the United States has multiplied
three fold, while states and cities cannot enlarge their prisons
rapidly enough to care for the increase in prison population.
One reason, besides prohibition, why crime increases in
the United Stales and decreases in England is because in
England prisons exist for the punishment of criminals and
not for their "reformation" through coddling. This, combined
with the fact that justice is swift and punishment severe,
regardless of station, puts a fear of the law into the hearts
of criminals entirely unknown in America. There arc no
country clubs among British prisons no movies, radio con
certs, baseball games, poker games or merawanna smoking,
oniy naru won; ana rigid discipline.
Perhaps we should go further back than the orison
place the blame, partially at least, upon the lack of discipline
in the home, the abandonment of corporal punishment, the
sparing or the rod and the consequent spoiling of the child
in England, every elementary school has its birch. Ever'
reformatory has its official whipper. Courts have the power
lo order spankings at home for children too young to be
cnasiised by the stale. In the United States spanking
among the lost arts.
Corporal punishment is an essential part of law enforce.
ment and has been for decades in England. Many authorities
dciicvc mat juvenile whipping and birching are largely
responsible for the orderliness of the present generation of
Englishmen, while lawlessness reigns in other sections of
the globe. It is held thi the boy culprit of today is ve
likely lo be the second-slory man and thug of tomorrow
unless his youthful criminal tendencies are nipped in the
bud. So the court frequently sentences youngsters to be
wrupped at home by parents and sends an officer around to
supervise the spankings.
The paddle and the rod furnish a simple, direct and easily
comprehended method of corrective punishment that has
the psychological uplift bunk backed off the board.
ilesults tell the story, and England experiences the logiai
results from her system in diminution of crime, while America
reaps equally logical results of our pampering system by lead
tug Hie civilized world in crime increase.
"iSot yet, so play it you want
to," answered Carol, looking; at nor
refection happily. She hadn't look
ed so nice in months, she told her-self!
Patricia trailed slowly across the
polished floor of the living room.
Her frock was of grayish green, as
frail and misty as sea foam. About
hor throat was a double strand of
milky pearls, and anothor long
Htrand was wound about her wrist.
There were emeralds on her hands,
und a large square one formed the
cluxp of her necklace gifts on her
wedding day from her father-in-law,
who had adored her. And
gifts that yould have brought Joy
to many a woman's heart, but that
meant little to Patricia, as she sat
down on the piano bench and fin
gered them listlessly.
Pearls for tears, emeralds for
change," she murmured softly.
"Oh, I suld that I wanted to
change my life, that I could not
live any lunger as I was living.
But must I change now if 1 don't
wnnt lo? Can't I go back, even to
what I didn't want?"
The spacious, exquisite room gave
back a faint echo of her voice. On
the plnno pale yellow roses nodded
their heavy heads to her. as if con
finning her fears. She began t
play, softly, little chords that rip
pled Into each other, and present
ly became sad songs. Tostl'e "Good
bye," "The Itnsary," a Cadman
song that was like a shadow of lost
happiness.
And then, suddenly, two hands
wore placed on hor shoulders. A
thrill ran straight down her arms,
brought her up standing. But the
man who stood behind her would
not let licr turn her face to his:
instead, ho forced her to sit down
again.
"I took your telephoning as a
good omen. Little Pat," he told her
huskily. "I was afraid, last night,
that I'd offended you by telling you
that I cared for you. I told myself
that If you didn't call me today.
THE CAPITAL JQIJRNAL, SALEM, OREGON
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 23, 1925
I'd let you go. And then then,
finally, you phoned, you can't
know what that meant to me. Oh,
Patricia, won't you write to your
husband and explain to him?
Won't you ask him to let you be
freeT My wife and I have meant
eo little to each other for such a
long: time that I know she won't
want to keep me If I want to go.
Think we could be married with
in a year."
It seemed to Patricia that her
voice would never come, that some
thing was choking her. She felt
If she were In a dream, trying to
talk, but with no power to make
herself heard. She wanted to shout,
"I love Andrew I love Andrew!
She could only tear Hewitt's hands
from her shoulders and turn to
face him, when Keith came quick
ly through the hall.
Tomorrow Weary Hours
Doctors Required By
Law to Quarantine
Own Cases, Is Claim
Ur. William B. Mott, city health
oaicer, has latmed a statement in
reply to Dr. H. J. Clements, who
presented a communication to the
city council Monday night criticia
ing Dr. Mott for refusing, a;
health officer, to take care of
smallpox case which was taken to
him by Dr. Clements and Dr. S. C.
Stone. The affair resolved itself
Into a legal question as to vvho.e
duty It was under the law to take
care of the patient and provide
quarters for him, the health offi
cer or tho physicians to whom the
case first came. This will prob
ably bo threshed out at the next
meeting of tho council. Dr. Mott's
statement follows:
'In reply to the protest Issued
by Dr. Clements against tho city
health officer, Dr. Win, B. Mott
wishes to state for the enlightment
of Dr. Clements and the public at
largo that City Ordinance No. 1922
provides that every doctor is res
ponsible for tho quarantining of
his catics of reportable or contagi
ous disease.
'further, that section 5 of the
health laws of Oregon states:
'Whenever any laboratory or clini
cal diagnosis discloses that any
disease Is of a communicable na
ture, the person making such diag
nosis shall Immediately take such
action as he may doom necessary
In order to prevent the spread of
such disease and shall make a re
port of such action to the state
health officer. Such person shall,
in addition to such report, be pre
pared to' take any such further
steps as may be deemed neces
sary by the state health officer and
shall report such cases, and all
connected therewith, to any per
son or Institution designated by
the state health officer. Pending
official action by the Jurisdictional
health officer, the attending phy
sician or other person practicing
the science of healing shall estab
lish and maintain quarantine rules
and regulations as prescribed by
the state board of health.
'This city ordinance and state
law are very clearly stated and j
one with even very meager know-'
ledge should be able to understand
them. Still, in spite of this fuct,
the smallpox cose in question was
sent out of the doctor's office to
my office for disposal and after he
was on his way I was notified by
phone that there was a smallpox
case on the way to my office. The
city ordinance and state law were
quoted to the doctor requesting
that he comply with both, which
he refused to do. He then called
Dr. Clements who came to my of
fice and with Insulting remarks at
tempted to tell me that I was
wrong and that the laws were
wrong. He even went so far as to
say that It was my duty as health
officer to take care of and treat
all indigent cases.
"Again, let me state fur the edu
cation of Dr. Clements and ot any
others who do not know, that the
city of Salem does not have a city
physician. The duties of the city
health officer are those of a law
enforcement officer In matters per
taining to the health of the city.
And because I requested that these
two doctors do their duty both as a
legal and moral obligation one or
them Is attempting to make a per
sonal grievance case of It.
"I wish to state that the two
doctors and not the city health of
ficer allowed this smallpox case to
run nt large. The entire proceed
ings were taken up with tho state
board of health following disposal
of this case. Dr. Frederick Striek
er, secretary of the state board of
health, stated to me that full time
health officers, those who are paid
for their entire time, are supposed
to do all quarantining, but part
tlmo health officers, as Salem has,
could not possibly take care of such
minor details and have any time
to practice medicine. The doctors
of Salem have cooperated wonder
fully well In trying to keep down
epidemics by immediately quaran
tining and reporting cases to mo.
One or two have shown no imprest
In the welfare of the public and j
'ave refused to cooperate In keep
ing down diteuues.
"The doctor who had the small
pox case is subject to prosecution
for refusing to comply with tho
law, the other is simply meddling
without any knowledge of tho law
"If all doctors turned their con
tagious cases loose, depending on
passing the buck to someone else,
we would never be free from epi
demics. As It Is, following the pas
sage of the city ordinance above
referred to, along with tne voiun
tary cooperation of most of the
doctors, our diphtheria epidemic
fell off almost to no cases report
ed in a very short time.
"This shall be my report to the
city council and If necessary I will
attempt to have Dr. Strieker pres
ent to tell In person what he has
stated to me."

DUMB DORA
By Chick Young
Spence, Propagandist
I no Oi-i'L'tiiiaii lias discovered that state market agent
U I-.. hpencc is utilizing In.i ollice for the promulgation of
political propaganda nt slate expense. Says the Oregonian:
This misuse ot the ofriro of slntc market ngent confirms the oplnloi
expressed at Hie time of its creation, that It would ho used for
political purposes, would confer no benefit on the producer end would
waste public funds. It hns been used tu spread political opinions at
public expense a proceeding ns Inoxcusablo as Mayor Mylan'a use
oi tne municipal rudio station lu New York city ball to bro.idrasl bl
ciaim to re-ciei-tlou.
Well, what of it? Wasn't that what the office waa created
for? There is no need of any such office, no useful function
it could erfurm, except perhaps to regulate a little more the
already over-rcgulaled farmer.
For two and a half years Market Agent Spence has weekly
issued his Non-Partisan League propaganda, and occasionally,
as timing me primary campaign, relieved Himself of it orally
For this he gets $3,000 a year ami expenses.
Mr. Sjience is, however, only following the example of
Governor Tierce who is perpetually swinging about the circle
spreading political opinions at puMie expense also a sheer
waste of public funds. If there was a stale radio station, we
can be sure it would be utilized to broadcast the governor's
claims to re-elect ion. Not having it, the executive is obligetl
to appear in person in as many places as possible at tax
payers cost. It the governor, why not the market agent?
