Public aentlment la a powerful
factor, but. often it defeat the alma
and end of Justice.- Thousand of
pfirsona. who know' absolutely noth
ing" of the' evidence Jn the "Rogers
case 1 kate appealed by letter' and
petition fora commutation. It la
simply an expteBBlon of sympathy
from those ,who abhor the thought
of Ignomlnloua death for a woman.
If ' ls J beautiful, perhaps, but ia
U, rlgktt V1U it not hare some
effect upon the' Governor or . the
Board of. Pardons? Might it not
turn them from the matter of dutyT
It too often happens that, when a
wretch ' Is facing . the gallows this
same element of sympathy rise np
when there Is no thought of the vic
tim, lying under his six feet of earth.
" Alf- bf us will admit that when a
woman is Oiled with sudden anger,
which forces her to kill, aha ; has
strong provocation for the act. It is
different, 'however when she kills
her husband that she' might enjoy
the love and companionship of an
other Bian." . That, we believe, ; was
the"biotlve behind Mrs.' Rogers' deed.
"..The eueetlon. then Is one of law.
Vermont does not say that the man
who slaya his wfte -shall be hanged
while the wife .who 'slays her hus
band must nof ffl" life for" a life.
Both, are edal trtiSder the tatutes,
and every man maf have his own
opinion about tne mercy or Justice
of the statute8()t)( u'
Therefore; if 'MX. Rogers is guilty,

flecieed that Bhes2 H Is only proper
that she shpdydieThe law can

Patrick Raymond was arrested for
rolling a pinch of tobacco oa the
public klgkway. He was sent to
coart, fined fifty dollars and taxed
wltk the costs. The court held that
ke was a manufacturer.
Naturally, many of us ' will be
rather inclined to protest against
such unjust legislation, at least as It
appears to us. ' Raymond waa not th
Brat victim, and the officers aro al
ways on the alert, because they need
the costs. ' It helps them to keep the
.wolf from the door.' There to noth
ing so abominable as the cigarette
fiend. Doubtless hundreds of young
men and boys are in the asylums to
day because they were addicted to
the habit But there are grown men
who are not debauched by it. All of
us know of many physicians who are
Incessant smokers, 'and while that
does not prove that It is a healthy or
harmless pastime it does establish
the fact that all persons who smoke
are not apt to reach the asylum. The
real enemy of the cigarette is the
maa or woman utterly Ignorant of it
and who contend in their wrath that
it to filled . with opium and other
drugs. If that were true the article
would not be so cheap. It to right
of -course, to discourage the habit,
especially in .boys, but there Is no
sense in the , law" enacted by Ne
