LITTLE ROOM FOR INVENTION.
Even though there is no preliminary disagreement
over oracles. the executioner is by means free
OF the pers that beset his path. The high onciais
AT Teheran may decide that plain death is TOO
good for the assassin of a Shah. and may order
the executioner to invent some new and awiul form
OF torture as a prelude the merely incidental act

cutioner may we'll pluck at his beard ana throw
dust on his head for the possibilities In the way
of torture were exhausted in the East centuries
ago. should the executioner's feeble attempt fall
10 win the approval of his masters, he himself
may be made the subject OF experiments at the
hands of his ambitious and possibly more fertile
minded successor.
There is still another peril. however, should the
executloner succeed in satisfying his superors
demand for something adequate to the occasion
IL the actual work Of torture and dccapation does
not suit the critics it possibly may not through
the nervousness or bungling of the executioner.
there is likely TO be trouble of a serious sort for
the bungler 1t is not at all unlikely That both
assassin and executioner may soon renew their
ecouaintance in that part OF the hereafter which
,he,r conduct on earth has entitled them to in
habit.
As TO methods of punishment in Persia. there Is
much to be said both in condemnation and defence.
The ordinary form of punishment is at once par
barous and necessary. Americans as rule MAKE
the mistake of judging the rest OF the world py

there is neither conscience moral responsibility,
