KNOWN BY THEIR ADJUSTMENTS.

No more accurate measure for ascer-
tanning the degree of civilization to
which people have attained can be
had than the amusements in which
they find pleasure. This is true of the
individual, and that makes 1t true of
the aggregation of individuals forming
the nation. Diverse they may be, and
range from the brutal prize fight to the
opera or the lecture, but known the
amusements Of the average and you
have the standard of civilization Of
that average. When, as with the Span
ish, one finds a people who, without
regard to rank or station, whether no
BILE or peasant, find pleasure in witness
ing a bull fight, with it's ferocious &C
compartments, you find a people whose
instincts are brutal and whose actions,
when the situation gives opportunity
will be brutal.
1t is not to the credit Of our own
people that there are such large num-
bers who find pleasure either in wit
Messing displays of brutal force. as
those who patronize the ring, or pore
over the illustrated papers that por-
tray the scene. Far more indicative of
low state of development is the at
tendance on public executions of GRIM
inals in those states where this NOR
bid curiosity yet finds it's disgusting
and shocking aliment Kentucky is one
Of these delinquent states, and thou
sands f1ocked to see the hanging of
Walling and Jackson and gazed open
eyed at the sight of their strangling.
But worse is to come. That wonder
full product of the genius of Edison the
kaleidoscope, with its startlingly life
like reproduction of movements, is to
be prostituted to producing for exhi-
bition all over the land the shocking
spectacle of the legal killing of these
two boys. The morbid degenerate, who
could not visit the scene, may drop his
nickel into the slot and see, in the re-
Volving Photographic film, the whole
revolving scene, from the initial mount
ing of the scaffold by the condemned
to their last struggle with the fatal
rope.
How far the state shall go in cur
failing the supply of food for such
morbid appetites is question not cas-
lily answered. Were it a matter of
hrst impression, there might be grave
doubts whether it lay within the le-
Ultimate province of the state or not.
But that point has long been passed.
The state has moved far in the use of
its power in support of the sentiment
that would minimize the hurt by pre-
venting access to such scenes. Nevada
had to wipe out restrictive laws to en-
able the recent prize fight to take place
IN her borders, and gained thereby the
unenviable distinction of being the ONLY
one Of the forty-five where a prize
fight in public is possible State after
state has denied access of the public
to the execution of criminals. Strictly
in line with this movement would be
legislation prohibiting exhibitions of
fights or of hanging by the kineto-
scope. This degradation of a noble and
civilizing invention, however, is only
possible when a state lags so far be-
hind as to permit public and daylight
executions. Does not this condition
shed side light on some singular po-
litical conditions in Kentucky?

Pennsylvania leads all the states in
its hatred of sparring contests. A bill
