THE DEATH PENALTY.

For the last one hundred and forty
homicides committed in the city of New
York only two men have paid the for
felt of their lives upon the gallows. This
startling fact is pregnant with sugges-
tons. A law that cannot be enforced
after long and faithful trial should be
modified or changed; its continued exist
ence upon the statute book whenit is not
executed brings it into contempt and in
vites the commission of otfenses it is in
tended to repress. If juries will not con-
Wet and judges will not enforce the death
penalty for the crime of murder then
some penalty should be prescribed that
can be carried into effect. There are
many conscientious persons who believe
that society has no right to take the life
Of human being. Judges are human
and juries are weak. This humanity is
appealed to and this weakness taken ad-
vantage of by counsel and friends to
save the criminal from the punishment
due to his offense. As experience has
demonstrated that the death penalty can
not be enforced, it would undoubtedly be
better to abolish capital punishment. and
in its place substitute that Of imprison-
ment at lard labor for life or term of
years. Chronicle.
Whatever force there may be in the
Chronicles conclusions about the diff
Guilty of getting juries to find verdict
for murder in the first degree, an impor-
tant fact seems to have been overlooked,
which is, admitting its theory to be cor
rect, that capital punishment is prac-
tically abolished now under the laws of
most of the States, if not all of them.
The law provides that if man is indict-
ed for murder he may be found guilty of
that crime or of lesser crime, either
murder in the second degree or man
slaughter. 1t is a great mistake to sup
pose, as the Chronicle does, that mems
Observation-Disclosures stands in the way of
convictions for murder, for if the jury
cannot conscientiously consign fellow
being to the gallows, what is to prevent,
even as the law now stands, conviction
of the lesser crime, and send the
guilty to prison for life or term
of years? The trouble is not in
the law at all, but is to be
found in the fact that Americans are
too much engrossed in the business Of
money-making to give up their time to
the State in the thankless capacity OF
jurors. We once thought the trial by
jury was the palladium of our liberties,
but the way the system has worked OF
late years it affords a ready means OF
escape for every rascal who can CON-
mand money and influence. Take the
case Of Laura d. Fair, for the deliberate
murder of A. P. Crittenden: does the
Chronicle imagine anything in the way
of conviction of murder in the second
degree? Such a verdict would have
been valid under the Indictment fol

that fact, brought in verdict of acquit

The Panama Star and Herald gives a
striking illustration of the vigor and
rapidity of vegetation in the tropics, by
referring to the bushes and trees grow
ing in the ruins of the burned Aspinwall
Hotel, at Panama. 1t is scarcely more
than two years since this confagration
took place, and yet there are now grow
ing within the walls trees at least thirty
feet in height. They belong to what are
called trumpet trees tgenus Cecropia),
and the branches are said to lie csowding
out OF the highest doors and windows,
SO as to render it probable that in their
further growth they will throw down the
wallis with which they are interlaced.

The total vote of Missouri for Presi

The total vote of Missouri for Presi-
dent was 273,05S; and the total vote for
Governor was 277, 1856, the vote for Gov
ernor exceeding the vote for President
1927. The registered vote of the State
(l03 counties known and II estimated)
was 81, 900; so that the number of votes
cast falls below the number registered
39,0l5; in other words, II per cent. of
the registered vote was not polled. Hen
derson runs ahead of Grant 1,075 votes,
and Woodson runs ahead Of Greeley
5,2Sl votes. 1t may be noted, in this
connection, that the vote of Indiana for
Governor was 377,700 which is 99,715
greater than that of Missouri, although
Missouri has population 40,65S greater
than that of Indiana.
