After citing instances to show
that persons freezing to death ex-
peirence little or no pain, the Salt
Lake Tribune, suggests the fol-
lowing:
In experimenting how to dispose
OF prisoners convicted and senenc-
ed to death, it is strange that the
idea of freezing them to death has
never been thought Of. A little
chloroform might be given first,
then they might be laid in q re-
frigerator and the temperature
turned down to zero. After a few
minutes they would need no fur
ther attention; they would be in a
condition to be placed in an ice chest
and kept as long as the sawdust
held out.

TIE MONEY CIRCULATION.

France has a circulation OF
s57.36 per head Of population;
Great Britain, Spool; Germany
5000. Senator Plumb, who has
made finaLce specia ty, estimates
the circulation in the United
States at So per head. This esti-
mate, we presume. does not in
clude the large amounts held idle
land seemingly without necessity
in United States treasures. Per-
haps, too. it may exclude some
bank reserves. Including all Of
these, Secretary Window makes
it about 1913. Yet the people OF
this country buy and sell more,
and consume more OF the produc-
tions of distant countries, and OF
distant parts of their own count
ry, than does any other nation;
certainly far exceeding those above
mentioned.
This Coast, with all its wonder
full wealth OF climate, imports
largely from the East, not only
manufactures, but food products
But the rural population of
France live mainly within them
selves, barter with their neigh
bors, limit their wants almost ex-
clusively to what can thus be OBJ
tanned, and do not need one dollar
where an American needs ten, and
ought to need it il he does not.
The Stanford bill may not be SO
Objectionable as some think as to
the amount of currency, were the
basis correct and the distribution
just.
France heads the list as
country where money is plenty.
Look how quickly it paid the Ger
man indemnity; and when the
Bank of England was tottering
the Bank of France made the ad-
vance that saved it.
The senseless cry that there
will be too much money In the
United States comes from usurers
and bankers who live because
money is scarce and interest high.
France has over seven times
the amount per capita that we
have, and see how she thrives. Ind

on which she stands alone escapes

Too Thin.

Every year, just before the Leg
islature meets, the Reno papers
make bluff at moving the State
Prison. They have no idea OF
moving it, but make big demon
stration and say:
"Give us a few thousand more
appropriation for our public build
fngs and we won't move the Pris-
on this year."
The Gazette begins the old game
as follows:
Cannot there be quite a saving
to the State by removing the pris-
oners from their present location
to some point where they will at
least be partially self sustaining?
Seventy-five thousand dollars were
appropriated two years ago for
their maintenance. and SIS, 900 for
the boot and shoe factory. which
always has been and always will
be source Of expense to the
State, and is only tolerated at all
in order to give the convicts en-
ployment. 1t certainly seems to
us that if they were moved into a
piece Of good farming land some
where, their labor could be turned
to profit, or at least, they could
raise what they eat. The Legis-
lature should look into this SUBJ
ject."
We hope that the Ormsby dele
cation will not be humbugged this
year by this old threadbare dodge.

HIGH SCHOOL exHIelT.

The exhibit held at the High school
building by the members of the Elec-
tromethean society deserves the patron
age Of every inhsbitant Of Grand Rap
ids, whether he is directly interested In
school work or not. The most crusty
old pessimist on the inefiiciency OF our
school system would be obliged 10 ad-
NIT that system turning out so much
practical work must contained un-
limited resources. The electric railway
works admirably; the telephone and
telegraph are successes; the three
phaze dynamo is the only one OF Its
kind ever constructed in this coun-
try; the electric measurements
are all quickly and accurately
made, and must necessarily be OF in
terest to anyone. Prof. Carmen Illus
trates in = practical way the relative
merits of the tower and low light sys-
TENS. The boys have been to consider
able expense of time and money in max
ing this exhibition, and to anyone in any
way interested IN the development Of
our public school system it must be one
of the most interesting exhibitions ever
held in Grand Rapids.

there is no place Tor tho college, or

found in the academies, normal schools

Many believe that the smaller colleges
have the advantage of the personal
care of students. Perhaps the greatest
argument is that the colleges arc nec-
essary to prepare young men for the
ministry. Both are here to stay and
they deserve our respect. We find our
