ratcliff co town deliver phone 7112 criticism of lash as penalty the expected has happened some of the sobsisters and sobbrothers are decrying the penalty of the lash for young canadian bandits bank robbers this la a free country and everybody has a right to his opinion of course but if canada pays great heed to these sentimentalists this country can easily ascend to the de gradation of the courts and admin istration of justice as noted in many american cities we can easily put a premium on major crime in canada by putting into practice the theory that every criminal should be put into a private hospital ward and there be waited on by a couple of pretty nurses it is objected that the imposition of the lash is brutalizing and de moralizing nobody ever claimed that it would ennoble a culprit but there is as much reason to argue and temporize with a drugcrazed hop- filled gunman as there would be to caress a king cobra do these senti mentalists ever shed a tear for the wife and children of a dead policeman or bank messenger shot while out earning the dallybread of all the disgusting exhibitions which so- called civilized society ever gave ex pression to it was the clamor of sob- sisters to save the notorious russell scott they never thought or cared for the poor drug clerk there will be no danger of anybody getting the lash in this country for ordinary decent behaviour the times call for drastic measures the bandit has the automobile in his favor and crime in america seems to be several steps ahead of lawthls country with conditions as they are cannot afford to mollycoddle desperate criminals if we do we will get the same dose the american cities are getting where it is the boast of the under world that it only costs 25 to have anyone bumped off the trouble is that a good many of our people do not appreciate the gravity of the sit uation and the danger of the gun- toting underworld which is the con stant enemy of society school report s s no 22 markhim
