1.-THE MODERN YOUNG WOMAN

great deal is said and written in these
days about the modern young woman.
As rule it is the young womsn's own
sex that does the writing and the talking
The average man is quite content to take
the modern girl as he finds her, bright,
seli-reliant, helpful, distinctly stronger
in mind and body than the carefully cod
died but sternly restricted young woman
OF the good old times" when mental
ignorance and physical fragility were
deemed essentially proper physical char
acterisiics.
But when the fathers and brothers and
the future husbands of the girls Of the
day do not trouble themselves to philoso-
phire over their being, the case is very
different with women themselves. There
seems to be decided tendency among
feminine writers to regard the modern
young woman as though she were some
thing startling-something not quite
natural and not TO be accounted for by
natural processes. Enthusiastic believ-
ers in women's rights on one hand, and
deeply grieved advocates of the old
regime like that clever English writer,
Mrs. Lynn Linton. on the other, alter
nately take a hand at praising and do
ploring the characteristics wherein the girl
Of to-day is most unlike her grandmother.
The curious thing is that neither class
seems to think OF her other than as q
young person who has peristently and
successfully pushed herself forward until
she stands pretty nearly on an equality
in most things with her big brother
whereas the truth is that this typical
Young woman of to-day stands in her
present position not because she has
crowded herself into 1t, but because she
has been carried there by the irresistible
force of circumstances. She is neither
obtrusive nor unwomanly. She 10 more
sef-reliant and self-sufficient than her
mother before her, because the conditions
OF her existence have made her So
The worlds onward movement is bear
ing the modern girl along with it, that is
all. She has moved with swifter strides
than the other sex simply because she
was behind them at the start The
quickening, broadening tendencies Of an
era OF unprecedented intellectual life
have caught her and nodded her as thew
have nodded the rest OF us. The young
man Of to-day is thoroughly unlike the
youth OF the age of shoe buckles and
powdered wigs The yonng woman has
merely taken her rightful place by his
side.
She has learned that it is just a. hon.

She has discovered that rigorous mental
discipline in high school and college ia

hibiting the wearing Of the gown out

of small village inn in England has
handed herself down to posterity in
similar fashion by refusing to let two
women cyclists, clad in knickerbocker
suits, sit down to dinner in her public
coffee room.

trolled to some extent by punishment.
AS the mere taking of the other mans
goods is not the object in view, go much
as the enjoyment of them; the chances
OF escaping punishment and the nature
of the punishment if detected becomes
to this kind of a murderer a question
of Importance. TIE real end is
possession and enjoyment of certain
goods, which the victim had. Murder
in such a case is means to an end, and
not, as i'll cases of homicide sprlnglng
from hate and jealousy, the end itself.
But even in this case.the kind OF pun
ishnent, whether it be Imprisonment
for life or death upon the gallows is OF
comparatively little consequence. No
sane man would commit murder for the
purpose of possessing another's goods
if he he felt sure that he was to be
locked up the next day in penitentiary
and there remain the rest of his life.
What the murderer of this stamp calcu-
lates upon is his escape altogether.
The thing then that deters this
kind of murderer more than any
thing else is the certainty of being found
out. Either punishment-the gallows
or imprisonment-w would be sufficient
to deter him if he felt sure that he
would have to undergo either, and it
has been proved over and over again that
without this certainty neither is.
The truth probably is that as regards
murders on which the nature of punish
ment is likely to have any considerable
influence, there is little difference in re-
straining effect between Imprisonment
for life and capital punishment. Either
would do away with certain kinds of
murders if it was always certain that
either would be inflicted. The former
has lost some of its potency no
doubt owing to the frequency with
which men sentenced for life
have been pardoned, while the
difficulty of convicting men when the
punishment is death has somewhat
weakened the latter. We do not
believe any greater safeguard would be
thrown arouad human life in the State
of Maine by substituting the gallows for
life Imprisonment. But closer approx
imation to certainty that the murderer
will be discovered and will suffer the
full penalty of the law would undoubted-
~ be potent in that direction.

THE PENALTY FOR MURDER.

The brutal homicide at Gorham has
served to revive the question OF the
penalty for murder. Quite naturally
the horrible brutality of this crime has
reused in the breast of almost everybody
a feeling that the severest punishment
known among enlightened nations ought
to be dealt out to its author-and as
in the opinion of the great majority that
punishment is death, there is general
feeling OF regret that the gallows is not
still standing in this State. There is
hardly anybody who does not share to
A considera BILE extent in this feeling. At
the same time it is to be borne in mind
that there is but one justifiable ground
on which society or the State can take
lite, and that is for the protection of
itself or it's component parts. Vengeance
belongs to higher power. The Mosaic
law of an "eye for an eye and tooth for
a toothn was done away with by later
dispensation, and that code lives today
only among barbarous and semi-civilized
peoples.
Really, then, the question of capital
punishment is the question of the pro-
lection of human life. The right of the
State to take life if such a course is nee
essary to it's salvation cannot be success
fully questioned. The individual may
kill another in self defense, and what is
the right of al individual cannot be
denied to a collection of individuals
which constitute the State. The right
of the State to infiict capital punishment
turns therefore upon the correct deter
mination Of the question whether such
punishment is necessary to it's own pro-
lection or the protection of the indi-
viduals who constitute it. 1t is an old
question, and it has been repeatedly
answered in ways Numerically oppose d.
There is no more concurrence of opin-
ion as to whether. the gallows tends to
protect human life today than there
was an hundred years ago. Statistics

success on both sides. but have settled
