 Prendergast, the Chicago anarchist, who shot Mayor Harrison, was not hung last Friday, but was respited on motion of his counsel for further examination as to his sanity. The impression seems to prevail at Chicago that he will escape the gal lows. There is probably no doubt that Prendergast was mentally unbalanced when he committed the crime for which he has been condemned to be hanged. No man in full command of his faculties would commit such an act, but that fact should not prevent the execution of the law which applies to his case. So long as the statutes provide that one who de- liberately takes the life of another shall suffer death, no exception should be made in such case as this. Prendergast knew enough to realize the consequences of his crime, and his act was unusually cruel and without the shadow of an excuse.

The worthy characterof this school is shown in the fact that, notwithstand- ing the hard times, the attendance is in excess of any previous year.
