I despise The thing I want Is Money I f ' (Cleveland Plalndealer) ' Inasmuch as It looks like a hard winter they're never as tough as they're talked It Is proposed by a number of well-dressed anarchists upstate, that the state government cease its howling about the taxes. long enough to spend some money Tor roaa worat, mus providing worx and. Incidentally, funds so the tax payer can pay some taxes. Ths re sultant barbershop wall is: "Lord I they re bound to bankrupt usll It seems there are now two main roads Into Portland, and a drive Is launch ed for third. Many contend this ts sufficient for getting Into the metropolis, but not enough for get' ting out. The point Is well taken, but ts no excuse for state-wide tlghtwadnens, and epidemic of petty economy. One Willamette valley thinker has come to the diabolical conclusion, "that the way to make money is to spend money." He also makes the logical argument, "that people without money are unable to apend money." There Is not liable to be any dispute with him on this polat. Ths gent Is trying to say that the time has come to dig up cash burled In a baking powder oan under the henhouse. T,1 next time a gang of low-lived millionaire's come to Ore gon, they will not be chased Into Csllfornla, as It has been definitely established, that It Is tmpossibls to get any nourishment out of a politi cal spewen. -Life Imprisonment and Justice - TpjlREK young men, a negro und two white companions, who yesterday confessed to the wanton murder of two boys and two girls of high school age, are today, twenty-four hours later, in state prison for life. : The incident is closed, as far, as the stale of Michigan is concerned. The maximum penalty that the law of that state provides, has been imposed, , At the minimum of time and expense, justice has been done. ' ' ' Would justice have ibeert better served had the mob suc ceeded in overcoming the officers of the law, and had lynched these three "fiends in human form?""' . 1 ADMIT they ' Would have got.ton no more than they deserved. Hut if mob rule and lawlessness are justified in one ease, their our entire system of government of law and order falls down, and by the nature of things, the rule of the jungle ultimately prevails, "'"",( -fV l Moreover in this particular case the lynching attempt failed, and had there been a death penalty in Michigan", with the provo cation of violence less acute, failure would 'have been even more certain. , ! ' : ' Then what would have been the result? ' . '- . e A'S THE Wickersham report maintains, organized crime has '' a defense fund for those who have any recognized stand ing in the underworld. These1 three young men : would" be as safe from harm as they are today, but instead of doomed to prison for life, they would have clever lawyers, carefully pre paring for their .trial at some MUTANT date, with at least an even chance that through some technicality, or weak spot in the evidence (with the death penalty they probably never would have confessed) they would get off with a lighter sentence than has been imposed. TROIM the standpoint of those' ..who oppose capital punishment, this is probably the weakest case that could be advanced to support their argument. A more fiendist, diabolical, and absolutely wanton crime, could scarcely be conceived! No nor mal, red-blooded person, would waste any sympathy or tears over this trio meeting the same fate they meted out to those defenseless young people. , Hut in view of the facts above cited, and in view of the conditions AS TIIEY ARE,' we still maintain that the prompt and expeditious settlement' of thi crime, is a stronger argument for life imprisonment, than against it. We maintain, that in the direction of deterring crime, THE PROMPTNESS AND CERTAINTY OP PUNISHMENT, ARE FAR. MORE IMPORTANT, THAN ITS PRECISE NATURE. We may talk all we wish about-"nil eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,'' but the fact remains, that the more extreme the punishment, the more difficult it is to convict. , WE ADMIT there aro two sides to this question, as there arc to most others. But it is our firm (conviction, that were life imprisonment the maximum penalty throughout this country, as it is i;i Michigan, there would be fewer crimes of violence, instead of more,' and the delays of justice, and the expense of criminal prosecution to the taxpayers, would lie reduced at least 90 per cent. . ' - , r : - ' , , ti ! I.V l ; Back to the Land PAltM land values are lower today than tlioy hnvo been in a generation. This is a calamity for thoso who own farm land, particularly for those who purchased land nt war-boom prices. - ' , ' But there is another side to the picture. The present depres sion which has shaken the economic structure of this country to its foundations, has made n plot of ground, where the neces sities of life may bo raised, more alluring than has been the case in nt least fifty years. . Ono may not be ablo to live well, but nt least one can LIVE, with n vegetable garden, a cow and perhaps a few chickens. And to he able to LIVE, in the midst of the present storm, without outside aid, is something. ( ' These, two .factors, exceptionally cheap land, and. the desire -for land as a 'Mifc preserver," have already resulted in a com plete transformation, in the relation between big city and rural life, in this country. . ", WE NOTICE in the St.,'Cloud (Minnesota) Daily Times, for example, that th Federal Land Bank at St. Paul, reports that farm sales this May were double those of a year ago. It is also true that while in 1!2! nearly two million persons left the farms to find work in the large cities, this year, to date, it is estimated the migration has netuallv been the OTHER WAY. IT'S AN ill wind that Mows no one good. The results of this depression have been calamitous to thousands, but it is highly probable that one of its great benefits will be n real back-to-the-land movement This will menu the stabilization of land values at higher figures, it will menu n more wholesome and more healthful relationship between eity "mid rural life, and MOHK IMPORT ANT THAN ALL, it will menu returning agriculture where it belongs, as one of the country's basic and profitable industrcs.

Of course, be- csuse of thsi dock's maglc.l they could under-! stand all lan-' gusiss, and yet when they were not with the Lit tl Blsrk Clock thry could not understand any language except their own. The seamen on this old vessel were talking about tlx winds which John and Peggy knew were called the Trade Winds. But the seemen did not call them trade winds. Instesd they thought they were evil spirits and were afraid that harm would come to them be cause of these winds. "Doesn't that seem absurd?" asked John. "1 wouldn't be frightened If I went In their places." "No." agreed the Little Black Clock. "I suppose not. But you know, too. that In these esrly days very little was known about the ocean. These steadily blowing trade winds seem strsnge o these early sesmen. I have turned the time very, very far back, long before the trade winds were called trade winds." "Weren't they Kin-ays called trade winds?" John asked. "Oh. no." saKI the Little Blsck Clock. "The first name they ever received was that of 'Ladles' Sea.' And perhaps Peggy would like to know the reason why." Not only Peggy, but John, was most anxious to know the reason why. snd the Little Blsck Clock ex plained that It was becaiue the winds were never very stormy or wild but were nice, gentle breeses. "I ll have to tell you why they called them trad winds," the Uttle Blsck Clock said. Personal Health Service By William Brady, M. D.

A WORD WITH THK NKIGHBOItH OP A CHILD WITH THE C'ROI P Two teafipoonfuls of syrup of Ipecac for the child with tin attack of croup Is an old reliable emergency remedy. This la an emetic. which acts In per haps 10 minutes. Tho vomiting re laxes the spasm of the throat or laryn geal muscles, and that's equivalent to relieving the croup The management fcf a ca.ne of croup is so simple that it scarcely requires the doctor's pre lence But the, management of the bystand ers Is not bo easy, and on that ac count I think it would be well to summon the -police patrol along with the doctor, or call the cops and let them fight off the uncles, aunts, parents and neib'ibors, and perhaps It won't be necessary to disturb the family doctor's rest at alt. In the halcyon days when I was far poorer than most of the riffraff who seek what they call "birth con trol" information on the ground of poverty, the baby staged an attack of croup one cold night when I was away giving my blood to a dead beat. She was pretty Bick when I arrived home. I asked mother to wrap tier In ft blanket, and then I sat with the baby In my arms, in the open window. It was only a few minutes before the best of all sedatives for Irritation in the larynx, clear cold moist night air, had brought com plete relief, and the baby fell off to sleep the re3t of the night. But you see, we had no uncles and aunts milling round, the baby's ma was a trained nurse and at that time f,i always did what the doctor ord ered without question. As for our neighbors, you may be sure they had learned to let our household emer gencies severely alone. What is a poor parent going to do when a child throws a spell of croup and there is no nice cold night 'air available? The second best emergency meas ure, in my Judgment, and in this I give you only my own experience. Is cold moist compress upon the whole front surface of the neck. Wring out a few yards of gauze (cheeseolottn) In ice water or the coldest water you can get, and apply It In many folds to the neck, and cover with any dry cloth, oiled silk, rubber dam. Change the compress. putting on a fresh cold one every five or ten minutes. If you have a suitable ice bag and ice, use that as a cover for the moist compress, but don't omit the wetting of the compress in any case. If the child vigorously resists this cold compress treatment, then you'll have to use the alternative metfiod, a hot or at least a very warm moist compress. Moist heat Is sedative and relaxfrig, tho not so effective as cold on the surface.
