GUSH. Several days ago an escaped con- vict from Stillwater boarded a street car in St. Paul. He was followed by a detective, who, although he did not know the man’s identity suspected he was a crook and attempted to arrest him. The convict, finding himself in a -tight place, drew a revolver and shot the detective so that he later died in a St. Paul hospital. A passing policeman captured the convict and he now is again behind the walls at Stillwater serving out his old term, at the expiration of which he faces new punishment for the murder of the detective. Since the shooting of the detective the Twin City papers have received several communications scathingly denouncing ‘the last legislature. for having abolished capital punishment and using the most violent language against Governor Eberhart for hav- ing signed the bill after it was passed. Some of the country 'papers have Jjoined in the outburst of gush and do not hesitate to place the blame for the murder upon the shoulders of the leélslntum and the governor. They reason that if Juhl, the con- vict-murderer had been in a state where that black emblem of the bar- baric ages, the gallows, still stood, he would have submitted to arrest. When the blood tingles over such an outrage as the shooting down of a beloved and faithful officer, it is easy to cry out for vengeance and it is easy to call the legislature a set of mossbacks and the governor a weak- ling, but a calm review of the facts place those of hasty criticism in an unenviable light, rather than those they accuse. The chances arc about even that Juhl, at the time he shot, was think- ing only of getting away and that he would have shot just as viciously, with the bleak walls of the peniten- tiary haunting him, as he would had hanging been the possible penalty for his effort. Let those who cry out the loudest for the “good old-days of the gal- lows” ldok up the criminal records in the state where capital punish- ment is still used and they will find as great or greater a percentage of murders as in the states that have dropped this atrocious form of re- venge. If honest students of the problem will communicate with Warden Wol- fer at Stillwater he will quickly show them by official statistics that offi- cial death does not lessen individual crime. In the meantime, Juhl, under care- ful guard day: and night, has tasted his last of liberty and is busy mak- ing shoes for the society he has so grossly wronged. POODLE * DOGS, CHILDLESS WOMEN OF WEALTH AND A HUMOROUS BUT BRAVE CONGRESSMAN During the closing days of the late cantankerous United States congress information was presented to show that a rich woman of New York who had gone to Europe was compelled to pay duty when she returned on a dog which she had taken with her from this country, one of the unin- tentionally constructions of the lat- est tariff law being to be blame. Efforts were being made to have congress rectify the error when Con- gressman Norris of Nebraska broke out; just how, we leave to the Con- gressional Record to say: Some time ago, Mr. Speaker, I was invited by the young men to deliver an address at a meeting in the build- ing of the Young Men’s Christian Association in this city. The notice came by telephone, and I responded immediately and without any prepa- ration, so that I ought not perhaps to have been held strictly accountable for anything I said on that occasion. My audience, however, was composed entirely of men—of young men—and I tried to say something to them that would be of benefit to them in the strife that comes to every man in this life, They were unmarried men and, among other-things, I advised them that they ought to get married, and that to be a husband and a father was the noblest ambition of every male human being. I told them why I believed it was necessary for young men-who wanted to be patriotic and do good to their country and to humanity to be mar- ried and raise children. I called at- tention to the fact that many weal- thy people were raising more poodle dogs than children, and I told' them of an incident that came under my observation when walking down Con- necticut avenue one day, when I saw the door of a residence open—a resi- dence that had cost perhaps a couple of million dollars—and a well-dressed woman came out and there drove up in front of it a carriage with two men in uniform sitting up in front and one man in uniform sitting on the seat in the rear, and as the wom- an came down the walk those men got down and took off their silk hats and bowed almost to the sidewalk as they opened the carriage door and put her into the carriage. She car- ried in her arms a beautiful poodle dog, all decked out in ribbons, trink- ets, and flowers. I watched her as they drove down the avenue, and my heart bled in pity for this woman of wealth, who I sup- posed was childless, and who was therefore compelled to waste her af- fections on a -poodle dog. They had not gonevery far, however, until the door of that mansion opened again and a colored woman came out, wheeling a little baby carriage. I crossed the street in order to ascer- tain how the baby was dressed, and from the way it was dressed &nd the expensive trinkets ana playthings that were about it I came to the con- clusion that it was the child of the woman who had gone away caressing the poodle dog while her own flesh and blood was left in the care of a colored servant; and as the colored woman pushed the baby across the park I felt, for a while, sorry for the. little baby. But I told the young men that, after thinking it over my sorrow went to the poodle, dog, be-. cause I believed, under-all the eir- cumstances, the baby was in the best company (Laughter and applause). I had no intention, Mr. Speaker, of telling who the family was, but, since I told the young men that it was on Connecticut avenue, T learned that I had come very nearly identifying the family because as I was told after- wards, it was the only baby in that part of Connecticut avenue, and it was an unwelcome accident (Laugh- ter). But I told these young men that I believed that it was better to live in a sod house, where God’s sunshine might come through the windows and shine on the dimpled face of your own little baby that was held in the arms of your own wife, than to live in the lazy luxury of marble halls that never resounded to the rippling laughter. of innocent childhood. I told them that in my younger days, about a year after I was married and had become a proud father, T had been invited to a banquet and had been given the proper subject,. and Low, under the enthusiasm of'the oc- casion, I had become poetical and had said: Of all-the joys that life can give, The baby is the best. I've learned to laugh and cry and sing, And miss at night my rest. And when at night from heavenly dreams T'm brought to earth a spell, It’s all because I think it seems, T've heard that baby yell. To Jnusic of inferior brand, All clothed in robes of white, With baby in supreme command, I march the floor at night. But when those little eyelids close i slumber, peaceful, sweet, I kneel beside my slumbering rose And kiss her on the cheek; And kneeling there, in accents mild, I send up thanks to God, _ And ask Him to protect my child When I'm beneath the sod. Then fill the flowing goblet well And drink with joy serene To her whose charms I love to tell, My pride, my love, my queen. Mr. Speaker, afterwards, the next day, the newspapers, having gotten hold of the story in some way, pub- lished the substance of my speech, and in a few days letters began to come to me from society women, poodle-dog owners, not only in the city of Washington but from all over the United States, condemning my speech in finding fault with the love that they had shown for the poodle dog. The society for the protec- tion of poodle dogs condemned me in the severest terms. I was told that the cultured owners of the sacred poodle dog would not stand for any criticism from the plain representa- tive of the common people. From these letters I learned that such a common mortal as I could not be ex- pected to appreciate the affection so worthily bestowed by society women upon the sacred pet. Children might be all right for common people, but they were too in- convenient for women of wealth and high social standing. These attacks were so severe that I hesitated to go alone down Connecticut avenue after sundown for fear of being attacked by these wronged poodle dogs and their infuriated owners and perhaps wounded, lagerated, and torn to such extent that I would not make a re- spectable congressional funeral. One of the papers in the city of Washing- ton sent a ' reporter, who interviewed some of the leading society ladies of the city of Washington, and with one voice they unanimously condemned me. : Mr. Speaker, it became a question with me whether I was going to be able to live in Washington after what I had said about these beloved poodle dogs. I remembered, however, that one -thing is always true of a dog, and that is that it never gets in front of an automobile. It always barks at.the automobile when it goes by, possibly upon the theory and the be- lief that the automobile is trying to get away and is afraid. I remembered also, Mr. Speaker, that the Congress had provided an au- tomobile for the preceding Speaker, and I remembered that the present Speaker had gaid that he would not use it after he was elected. So it oc- curred .to me that possibly the retir- ing Speaker might take compassion upon me, as he was about going out of office, and teach me to run that old automobile, 50 that when it was sold| at public umst’loli as it vluuld have to be, being Gove: nment property, if it did not sell for much, T might be able to get the money together to buy it, and then, ltbér';l_nving learned how to runit, I could take that automo- bile and go down through the streets of Washington at the rate of 60 miles an hour, bidding defiance to all the poodle dogs in crentlon. (Applause and laughter). - So, Mr. Speaker, 1 want to take this -opportunity to go on record as doing something in fav- or of the poodle:dog, that I may pos- sibly avert the.catastrophe which I Tear is about to'fall on my troubled head from-the avenging wrath of the owners of such animals.
