HERE'S A PROBLEM TO SOLVE.

MIR W. L. McCieary said: Il don t
think there will be anything done by this
legislature Experience has taught US
.hat we have nothing to expect from a
legislature controlled by the old parties.
We have long since arrived at the con-
clusion that the only way to get prohibit
ton is through the Prohibition party.
We are, of course, unalterably opposed
to high license, believing it to be bar
to prohi bItion. We favor local option,
believing that to be beneficial to GER
tain extent, but only supporting it as a
means to the end of total prohibition.
Here is a mathematical problem | would
like to have solved in this connection: If
prohibition, under the high license law
between midnight and morning, does
such great good, as it is claimed by the
advocates of high license, how much
good would total prohibition of the
liquor traffic accomplish"

SING SING, N. Y, July SIT is very
quiet here today All the witnesses have
gone Talking with newspaper friend
Warden Brown said;
II swear to you, before God, that each
of these executions was success so far
as inhicting death on n condemned man is
concerned. They all died instantly and
painlessly.
"They were no groans, no froth at the
lips, no burning of flesh, nothing that
was at all horrible. II you had hap
pened TO look in at the fatal moment
you would have thought that the men
had dropped to sleep. Every witness re-
marked this. Every one congratulated
me upon the perfection with which
everything worked and expressed them
selves rs satisfied that the new method
Of execution was far more humane in
its painlossness and certainty than tho
old.
"Tbs story of horrible scene Is no
more truthful than the story that
the japanese made trouble when
his time came. When called he
walked out of his cell like a man and
sat down deliberately In the chair and
put his hands on the arms just as all tho
the other men did. We expected trouble
with him, but did not have a particle.
IL tell you Oh my honor rs man that
there was not hitch in any OF the ar
Paugemeuts and that the men were
humauely put to death. There was not
the slightest indication that they suf-
fered either to the unscientifie eye or to
the doctors who watched them closely to
detect the fsintest sign OF agony.

abandoned. He, however, never recov-
