PENALTY FOR BURGLARY TOO SEVERE AND ASK FOR CHANGE IN LAW.

Says Ten Years is all Right for Professional, but too Much for First Offense.

Governor Marshall is of the opinion that the new law which provides a ten-year prison term for burglary in this state is too stringent, and will seek to have it amended at the next session of the Legislature. "I am of the opinion," saul the Governor yesterday, "that such a se?re penalty is not justifiable. I do not countenance burglary. For the professional a heavy sentence is not too severe, but in th case of the young man who goes astray nd commits his first offense I do not believe he ought to be compelled to 3penc ten yean; -n prison. I have not examiiM.d il:c constitution as yet on ;l'is point, but if the constitution I em 1? j it I think the minimum am, maximum punishmr.it in such cases ought to be left to the discretion of the court or jusy which tries the offender, instead of having a fixed statutory penalty. The court, it seems to me, ought to be permitted to deal justly with the offender who made a mistake and fell by the wayside as well as the professional burglar." Favors Publishing Petitions. The Governor believes that petitions for pardon or parole before the State Board of Pardons in tfchalf of persons convicted of the more serious crimes should be published, and he has taken up that question with the pardon board with a view of having the plan adopted. The Governor told members of the board that he believes that communities are in danger of being imposed upon by the methods which have prevailed in dealing with such petitions. The Governor's plan is to give to the newspapers of the 'state the names of the persons for whom application for parole or pardon is made in order that interested persons may know what is going on. The pardon board may adopt this policy. The Governor will recommend to the next Legislature that the law creating the pardon board be amemjed so the board shall be required to publish notice of petitions for paroles or pardons. '

Cross Dog No Mail. Owners of dogs may be deprived of the privilege of the free delivery of their mail. If dogs are a little too frolicsome or show a disposition to be unfriendly with

the letter carrier, he may take his postmaster into his confidence and the latter has the power to compel the owner of the dog to call at the postoffice for his mail. The neighborhood reputation of the dog under consideration is all the information which the department is required to obtain to guide official action. Patrons by muzzling vicious dogs or by keeping them securely chained may be able to prevail upon the postmaster to have heir mail delivered by Carrier. No Suicide on a Full Stomach. An Atchison (Kansas) physician says the best antidote for suicide is something good to eat. No person, he argues, will think of killing himself while masticating 'something palatable. The danger in this prescription lies in the after-effects. If the food which is honey to the mouth becomes wormwood in the stomach in other words, if it be innutritious and injurious -to the health it may even promote 'suicide by developing a diseased condition of both min'd and body, to which death might seem a relief.

NO READING IN SCHOOL.

Library Books Are to be Available to Pupils Only After School Hours.

Country and City. According to carefully compiled statistics and common report, .he trend from the country to the :ity is very marked. The great; .'st enthusiasm over the country ife is shown by city men who ire weary of their own routine nd who desire a change. Some )f them merely dream, of the :hange. Others have the ottrage A their convictions, but they are )ften sadly perplexed after they lave become farmers or fruit aiscrs. One trouble is-that they lave waited too long. There are "ew young men among them. Their reliance is on tliir savings, not on their strength for the new A-ork and their knowledge of it. They hope really to retire, to rest ifter their labors. The country needs the young nen who may become ambitious, ilert, industrious farmers, who ,vill make farming their chief in:erest. Put there is no way of 'orcing them to go to the county, and Mr. James J. Hill showxl in a speech that "the amelior-

ition of farm life, the opening of

new and attractive employment

)n the land through lue spread ol

irrigation and the growth of the frrit industry, the encourage

ment of public men and the wider dissemination of acricultural ed

ucation" had had "small results so

lar.

Put as an offset to his alarmist

view of the state of the nation as

it is affected bv the relative de

fine of the agricultural jopula-

tion something may be said on the question of opportunities.

Farms will hardly be permanentV abandoned even in the East if

they hold out a fair hope of com

fort and profit. Men who are

brought near to starvation in

cities because of the high price of farm products will not stay on and starve if there is a chance for them in the country. We are speaking now not of a few individuals but of the mass under such conditions as Mr. Hill describes." Given those conditions, the pressure would be outward; the main attraction, that of a decent living, would be in the coun

try. As land became more valu

able efforts would be made to get

a bigger yield from it. Ameri

cans would follow the example of

Europeans in th matter of intensive cultivation.

Such problems work themselves out, and there is some solace in the thought that there is much land in the Urn ted States awaiting the hand of the cultivator. It coidd do Wonders under improved methods. It gives us a great advantage over Europe, and in Europe, with its smaller reserves, the trend of the cities still continues. We are unable to see in the actual conditions an5' menace of national disaster, but there may be value in the emphasis which Mr. Hill places upon his subject. The right kind of farming would be a good thing for the nation. The land and its promise under proper care already offer inducements to young men who will take up agricultural work in the proper spirit. Successes are possible where failure is indicated by the decline in land prices to which Mr. Hill refers. They have been achieved after failures, and probably the positive demonstrations that the country has opportunities as an alternative to disheartening struggles in the cities will exercise a decisive influence upon many people even if they do not produce a rapid revolution.

Teachers in country schools of

this state have been instructed to

allow their pupils to have the use of reading circle books, but only

alter they have completed their

studyiiTg for the day. The school

officials think that some pupils

neglect their school work, and

devote too much time to reading

library books. They have given

these instructions to the teachers

to guard against the evil. The books in the country school libraries arc usually secured by voluntary contributions of volumes from the teachers or from the township trustees, but

are not provided by the state or

county. It is probable that the state will make provision some time in the near future to provide each school with a library of at

least a few standard works. Owing to the present haphazard manner of conducting these"; libraries, there are few really good

and select libraries to be found in country schools.

Two Men's Ways. While former President Roosevi -t tas been slaughtering big aamc in Africa, giving gvu! advice to the natives and their rulers and incidentally keeping in the limelight of the nows, former Vice-President Fairbanks has been quietly traveling around the world, and when last heard from was enjoying himself in Pekin. Were it not for an occasional short cable dispatch, few would know he was out of the country. There is all the difference in the world between the strenuous and the simple life, and the foreign travels of these two men give a very forcible illustration ot it. Both are evidently enjoying them selves, but they are certainly doing it in a very different way. fJaltimore American.

To Protect the Forests. The state board of forestry, yesterday, in its first meeting with Giarlcs C. Deem, recently appointed secretary, made a brief survey of forestry condi-, tions in the state and decided as a means of protecting the trees, to call attorneys to the state law which provides for a fine of from $5 to -$50 for setting fire to forest lands. The law was designed to check the careless throwing about of matches, cigar and cigarette stubs by hunters, and to cause campers to exercise more care with reference to their camp fires. Two thousand five hundred copies of the law will be printed in pamphlet form and distributed.

High School Certificate. Blank certificates for students who have completed the courses f study in certified schools of the state will be sent out from the office of the state superintendent of public instruction to the township trustees of the state. These certificates, according to a ruling by the state board of education, will constitute sufficient grounds for admitting the holder to a commissioned high school without examination, and will constitute authority for a township trustee to pay transfer charges to a corporation maintaining a commissioned high school when railed on by the holder of the certificate to do so.
