-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 : -

; 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.

The seamen on this old vessel

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

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. '
