Tin* Supremo Court of I tie State
of (teorgia lias eonlirmeil the ac
tion of a lower onurl which Sen
tenced a Id-year-old hoy to elev
en years in the reformatory for
the larceny of a 5-cent hoi lie of
pop. The ease was appealed hy
Hie lad’s father, lull the high
court held that the value of the
stolen art iele and I lie length of
I he sentence were no concern of
I lie Supremo Court and that the
decision of the lower court would
he sustained.
That may lie good law, hut lo
the layman it lacks a great deal
of being' justice. Men who have
committed manslaughter and as
sault, men who have robbed oth
ers of thousands, have escaped
with shorter sentences. Eleven
years for stealing a liotlle of so
da water. And the ‘'criminal" a
little hoy scarcely old enough lo
know what theft is, his father j
longing lo lake him hack home, j
condemned lo a reformatory for
I he1 entire period when his char
acter is being developed. If he j
should turn out lo he a eonlirmed
criminal, would that lie no con
cern of the court’s?
A dozen or more years ago, Joe

ting hungry and tile prospectors J
wanted fresh meat, so they made j
for the mountain t‘’Ps in search j
of wild goals. On reaching the
summit of one of the hills on the
west end of Kluane lake, they
spied a hunch of wlial was sup-:

remained on watch and Muldoon
flanked Ihe herd and soon shot
two of them. When I In* I wo men

discovered that Ihey were ibexes.

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
“Facts A re Facts. ”
It i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink t.eer you should use Valdez beer in prefermee to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home pr duct: brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in th» growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
