Christmas is coming but we are not so sure about those eleven blocks of paving. The days are getting shorter at- though they may seem longer to some folks in'this part of the country. Doc Cook, who might have dis- covered the Noith Pole if he had gone far _enough, is to live in Texas, but Texas isn’t saying anything about it. Next Sunday is Father’s day and all the children probably will cele- brate it by hitting dad for an extra nickle to put it in the contribution box. According to the census report the domestic animals of Montana have increased $33,5600,000 in value dur- ing the past ten years, and the re- port was made up before Frank Day moved there, too. Some folks say that Bemidji is get- ting bad advertising from the Dumas affair. What more could a timber district hope for than to have it free- ly flashed all over the country that robbers weighted down with gold from bulging safes, are hiding be- Rind stalks of corn? Maybe Attorney General Simpson has tied the Peterson petition with pink ribbons to that other famous document which reflects such great credit to its author, the carefully itemized -bill of Sherift Hazen for services rendered by Bemidji citizens at the Baudette and Spooner fires, AS TO GOVERNOR EBERHART. In times gone by the Daily Pioneer has had many favorable things to say of Governor Eberhart and it hopes to be able to continue its praise, for this paper has felt that the chief executive has endeavored to champion the cause of the North and because it felt that he was honestly trying to do what he felt was best for all the state. Some events have transpired to give our faith in the governmor a twist and his attitude in the Hazen affair brings him close to a parting of the ways, but we do not wish to. be ungrateful for what he has done or tried to do. He has been severely criticized for kaving said that he would force a reapportionment bill through the legislature at the peril of an extra session and then when the measure went overboard falled to keep his promise. He commanded ‘admiration that ll turning to disgust when he assumed the responsibility of ridding the state|ing from the explosion ‘of the river he would summarily dismiss him, and still Mr. Whittier continues. Such ;blunders do not set well and when the governor tops them with bland indifference to a petition: from an honored resident. of the.county, asking that an investigation be made of a county officer who is charged | with dishonesty, he fs getting into a position where he will have to do some tall explaining and vigorous acting to retain the respect that many are not only willing but anx- ious to give him. . This newspaper is under no obli- gations to Governor Eberhart or any other public man and the only ties that bind us to him are the bonds of friendship for an honest and con- scientious official and if the strands are cast asunder it will be because we believe Mr. Eberhart has failed 83 & governor. . WHAT GOOD WOULD IT DO TO KILL Him? Aroused by the atrocious character of the murder of a nine-year-old boy at Brainerd, some of the newspapers throughout the state are calling loudly for a repeal of the action of the legislature of last winter wiping out capital punishment in Minnesota. These editors who believe that when some wretch hurls'a human state should likewise grab the murderer and choke out his life, point to the Brainerd case as a striking example of the need of the hangman’s noose, soul into eternity that the and refer to the “sickly sentimen- tality” which they hold is responsible for the abolition of the gallows in Minnesota. It is not a subject that can be ar- gued. There is but one cause for this “eye for eye; a tooth for a tooth” attitude. It is a lingering remnant of that barbaric spirit which demands revenge for a wrong done. In commenting on the Maiki case one newspaper said: “He should be drawn and quar- tered.” And that is the spirit of those who wish hangings to continue in Min- nesota. It is a lust for blood, and nothing else. What would human- ity gain by chopping Maiki into a thousand pieces, burning his body at the stake or strangling him with a rope, despigable as he is, and as flendishly brutal as was his crime? ° As a matter of fact, wouldn’t h ing, or death in any form, be too good for him? Isn’t it far better, and certainly more in keeping with advanced civilization, to keep him behind the walls of the penitentiary, always a slave to society? So long as the hands that choked the life out of his powerless vietim are sending the hemp through ma- chines grinding out cheap twine for the farmer, or are shaping shoes that hold the trust in check or are en- gaged in any of the other work of a prisoner that is of direct benefit to the public, they are surely of more value than hands cold in death and to us the “sickly sentimentalist” is the person who cries out against such a procedure, with the words al- ways ‘in their mouth, “kill him— tear him to pieces.” And this can not be because such violence would lessen crime for it is a well known fact that there are less murders in states where capital pun- ishment has been abolished than where it still exists. % The old argument that “he will be pardoned sooner or later” likewise is unsound because more than 90 per cent of all persons sentenced to prison for life lead the miserable, torturing life of a convict and die in a convict’s cell. A few are par- doned and there are times when they ought to be. When an innocent man is hanged, what is the charge made against society by the Recording Angel?
