| The chances are that he will never be released, because they f do not mete out punishment that way in Wisconsin. They ad-- t minister the punishment and the prisoner usually fills out the HOW WISCONSIN METES OUT PUNISH'_IE'):T ° Another forceful illustration of how the State of: Wisconsin dispenses justice and purlishment is seen in the case of a man who was locked up for life, eight hours after committing a murder, Mrs. Rose Radich, 26 years old, was killed by her husband, Vaso, age 28. ° Within six hours after the crime had been committed he was on his way to Waupun to spend the remainder of his life in prison. This is certainly an outstanding example of the speedy justice for which Wisconsin courts have lately become conspicuous Here is how it happened: § Ac;:ooo'clockmdichmetm,wif.,mmwmhomm' estranged, and with a dagger killed her, At C;ooo'docklnvuJ arrested not far from the scene. At 9:00 o'clock he confessed.= At 9:30 he was formally charged with murder, At xo:ooo'dockhai was arraighed in the district court and bound to the municipal court. At 11:30 his confession was read_to the municipal judge; at 7 thejnd'genntmdhiqtonudfifmfimh:'q was on his way to prison. At 3:25 he was getting his hair cut in -'theprisonandwuacthaflymdereonfinflnent?or&c.bahud1 a considerable task in that day and time for a sparsely settled --farm county with no--cities in it at all, Did it pay? The university opened a year Between . the two-- towns WAas two miles of open farmland. Seek-- Ing a more distinctive nomenclature the people of West Urbana changed the village's name to Champaign. About this time a small educa Hanal institute grew ~up between were active. Jacksonville, the great-- est industrial town in lilinols,. put forward strong claims. So did Bloom Ington. But it was awarded to the Champaign--Urbana -- combination --in 1867 for a reason. ' The price paid to the state to get the university was $100,000 in Cbam-- )dxnautyhoul.:nlhhul years at 10 per cent interest; a glift in fee simple of the Urbana and Champaign Institute buildings and Business men. in Champaign press me to herald to the world at large that Champaign is the main mer-- called Urbana. What a contrast to a similar situation in Illinois! 7 ; In this state in the first place if the murderer HAD BEEN cap-- tured. he would not even have been formally arraigned by this time and the chances are even if eventually found guilty, it would be at least a year or two before he would be in prison.~ That is why we believe there is less crime in Wisconsin than in Illinois, And thus it is seen that the fame of Lake county continually spreads all over the nation, for, with the Lake county contractor having an important hand in the re--arrangement of the White House also comes word that President Coolidge has received two invita-- tions to establish a summer White House at two differéent points in Lake county. y This is quite a recognition for a man from Lake county to be called.clear to Washington to handle an important part of the re--arrangement of the Chief Executive's home.-- In/a postal from Mr. Edwards to the Sun, he says: "You no doubt are aware of the fact that I have the contract on plastering all of the White House and that Lake county will have the honor of having about fifteen men wor_kingonthisbnfldingbythehstoprril. These men are to be brought to Washington from Zion and Waukegan." Recently the Sun told how William M. Edwards, of Zion, had been given the contract at Washington, D.
