Ing U ihe poorest use to put a man to,
it i not a goxl reason why a Lrv-abiJ-ing
citum shouM sign a petition for
c orr.mutationof the scntrnce of the an
axliists, ahhougn it is evidence that it
;s the most common reason why citi
zens are now doin so. If the law
which visits muulcr with the penalty of
Jeaih is averse to the will otthe major
ity of the people of the state, it should
be rcjca!cd, and objection to it not
inxle the ground for peations to sec it
aside in favor of particular criminals. .
It is nothing new for large numbers
of xry good Citizen? to interest them
selves on behalf of executive clemency
to convicted criminals. So constituted
is human nature that a petition for Jhe
commutation of the death penalty im
posed upon the most vicious and bru
tal murderer is Certain of finding sign
ers. There is such a fascination about
signing a petition for mercy that man-
sinu em scarcely rcsi iu juugmcia,
reason, an.i self preservation yield to
1 1 t T...1 -
the temi-tation to plead with an official
sworn to administer the law, to exercise
the "attribute cf God Jiimsclf."
A petition for any object never lacks
signatures, since there is nothing cheap
er than that which cots a petitioner
nothing, but which may ask anything,
from a copper for a blind imposter to
thc life of a condemned cut-throat.
Now, what is this law of capital pun
ishmcnt which so many good citizzns
would have abrogated in behalf of the
anarchists, or for that matter in thc
Is it something nc?
Was it enacted in haste ?
Is it specially applicable topny class?
No, it is none of these. As the pen
alty for murder death has been decreed
from thc earliest time, in all lands,
and among all people and conditions
c f men. The quesaon of its expedien
cv has en traced the attention of the
J t- aJ
wisest philosophers and law-makers,
pagan and Christian, in all ages. -
Whoso sheddeth man's blood by
man shall his blood be shed" is thc
scriptural justification of capital pun-
shment. Civilization has not yet
reached any decisive conclusion that
there i any wiser substitute for the
death penalty f.r murder and treason,
of both which crimes the anarchists
were gunty.
The cxjerimcnt of substituting life
imprisonment of various degrees of se
verity for capital punishment has been
tried in several countries in Europe and
in a few of the states, but not with such
satisfactory results as to be of any de
cisive value in determining thc expedi
ency of the innovation. In one or two
instances states have re-enacted capi
tal punishment after a trial of doing
without it.
Capital punUhment may be all wrong
but thc way to right thc wrong is not
by jctition for its suspension as to any
individuals, but for its abolition gener
ally.

These ladies now sustain their position
in society leading the uninitiated

In the morning, when they are not

There are always a number of wealthy

perhaps because they arc in mourning,
are not in the social swim.
As conversationalists these queens
