All rights of republication of all other matter red. Problem for Justice Strange problems in human behavior are placed before courts and juries for solution. i Take, for example, the case of Robert C. Miller, 15-year-old New Jersey boy, accused of murdering his father. For three years the lad had watched his mother support the family by her industry. The father had more of a liking for liquor than for work. All too often the family circle was disturbed when the titular head of the house returned home| intoxicated and caused trouble. All too often he added to the indignity of his conduct cruel treatment of his wife and chil- éren. Often, probably, Robert Miller longed for the day when he would be big enough to protect his mother from such shame-| ful treatment. Bitterness ruled his heart. a Saturday night the climax came. Fired by desperation, the lad seized a rifle and shot his parent dead. What will even-handed justice do in this case? Murder is bad business, no matter what the provocation. It can never be condoned and should be punished. But wife-beating and the disruption of mind and morals by drunken fathers is bad business, too. It, too, should be punished. What would a wise, just and humane jury do with this lad, who killed because of his “tremendous affection” for his mother, to use the words of the prosecutor? Will it punish the boy or will it hold that there is an unwritten law which can be invoked as a defense in such circumstances? The issue isn't a new one. This is not the first such case and it will not be the last. But every such incident emphasizes the imperfections common in this world and in the people who live in it. 8 or! herein are also Mad Midwifery If anyone ever doubts the fact that this is a big country with widely varying ideas he will be disabused by reading an Mmes article on “Mad Midwifery” published by the Maternity Center association of New York City, which is interested in reducing the tremendous death toll of babies and mothers which occurs annually in the United States. Last year 287,000 mothers were delivered of babies by midwives in the United States, many of them under circum- stances similar to those in the hills of the South as related by Carolyn Van Blarcom. She writes: “Visualize a scene of brisk activity when a childbirth is presided over by an old-school midwife, what with the patient decked out in her husband’s hat and shirt and with bear’s teeth and old trousers around her neck, feathers burning under the bed and a hornet’s nest smouldering above, while red pepper is blown down her throat and she is rapped sharply over the nose. .No wonder the baby comes along to put a stop to it all.” In enlightened North Dakota such things seem products of the wildest imagination. They bear no resemblance to modern, wide awake America, Yet such things occur within the boun- daries of the United States. This little description emphasizes not only the difficulty of spreading sound information as to the care of mothers and babies but the tremendous task involved in any attempt by the federal government to regulate certain phases of American life under a single law, administered from Washington. Aid for Wayward Youth State's Attorney Thomas J. Courtney of Chicago cut loose with an interesting idea recently when he suggested that the nation establish special CCC camps to restore youthful crim- inals to good citizenship. Mr. Courtney’s point is that the CCC camps, by the disci- Pline, good training, outdoor activity and morale-building rou- tine which they offer, have already done a tremendous amount of good among city youngsters who might otherwise have slipped down into careers of crime. Extend the idea, he sug- gests, to take in delinquent youngsters, for whom now the law usually makes no provision at all except imprisonment with hardened adult criminals. It is his belief that the annual crime bill would be cut in half. The idea is certainly worth a good deal of study. Obviously, such camps as he suggests would have to be distinct from the ordinary CCC camps, whose enrollees are decent, law-abiding | youngsters; but a special group might well be set up, to try to reclaim the lads who otherwise will be the holdup men and gangsters of tomorrow. Real Love and Ego President William Allen Neilson of Smith college thinks shat sacred and holy mother love can be a good deal less ad- mirable that it is commonly supposed to be. Addressing a meeting of Smith college alumnae in New love is nothing but self love.” He explained it like this: Mothers want their daughters to “‘do well” in school so that credit will be reflected on themselves. They plan their daugh- ters’ careers with that, rather, than the daughters’ well-being, i in mind. They send their girls to college—and immediately inquire how often the girls can leave college and come home, away from the great opportunities which college life holds out Frank L. Brandts Are Feted by 150 Friends Approximately 150 guests called at the J. O, Lyngstad home, 710 Sixth St., Tuesday evening between the hours of 8 and 10 o'clock to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Frank L.

F. EB. Logee, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, in a Thanksgiving day talk before the Bismarck Rotary club Wednesday. ‘Reverend Logee pointed to the coun- try’s national strength and security ‘as fostered by its leadership, stability, power, national character and ideals as reasons for thankfulness, Further cause for thanks giving, he said, is the fact that we have neither a com- munistic nor fascistic type of govern- ment but are a free, self-governing people. Comparing ‘the way in which Thanksgiving Dey was observed by early colonists with the way it is noted today, Reverend Logee stated that there has been a tendency to forget its original meaning. He pointed out that originally it was primarily a day of thanks and worship, but now it has taken on more of the aspects of an ordinary holiday or “day off.” ‘Walter Sellens was program chair: man and introduced Reverend Logee. Members of the December ennounced by Pres. A. R. Tavis, are George Duemeland, Dr. George M. Constans, Rev. F. A. Logee, James Trimble, Judge W. L. Nuessle. Guests were A.
