Capital Punishment Not JUST.
fable.

All persons know that some punish
ment Is necessary for criminal who has
committed a murder. Some punishment
is necessary for the protection Of the peo-
pie. Some punishment is necessary to
act as deterrent against the further
commission of the crime. Ii, however,
there ia punishment equally as great as
capital punishment; il there is punish
ment that will answer the purpose equal
ly as well as capital punishment; if
there is a punishment that is more
humane, and more in conformity with
nineteenth century ideas, then who is
there in this enlightened age who can
conscientiously say they think capital
punt hment is iustifiable.
Years ago it was thought iustifiable to
tear criminal limb by limb. Do we or
should we feel obliged to think the some

tors thought themselves justified in hang

A Communication
AS TO THE SABBATH DISSERTATION,

Editor of THE BEE: The following
article is from the Hartford Times of
April ID. We send it to you with the
sincere and earnest desire that it may ap-
widely circulated paper. Please give It
a place there, and thus help on the cause
of God and humanity. Yours, Rev

DREADFUL AND HORRIBLE.
In The Times of Monday, April 10, we
find the following startling item:
1.-TWO variety shows held the boards at
the Hartford theaters last night; the
audiences were large and are said to have
been we'll pleased. Yet there are per-
sons still on earth who can remember the
time when theatrical performances were
not permitted on Sunday in Hartford"
The above announcement is, to US, an
awful, terrible revelation! 1t contains a
dreadful and horrible fact; an alarm, it
would seem, sufficient to awaken and
stir to action all of the better class of
people OF the whole city of Hartford! In
view of the increased and constantly in
creasing dissertation of the Lords day,
which is, indeed, one of the most fearful,
terrible evils of our times, we may well
ask the question, in fear and trembling.
"Whither are we drifting?' Have We
forgotten the Lord God of our fathers,
and His plain, positive commands in re-
gard to the observance of His own holy
Sabbath? Are we to be stigmatizcd
fanatical and Puritanical because we pro.
prose to keep the Sabbath, as God Him.

This year the w. G. T. U. Nation
al convention meets atSeattle, Wash
ington. A train known as the White
Ribbon special left Chicago for Seat
tie, Washington, on the 18th, after a
''send off, was given heladies at the
First Baptist 'church, Chicago.
Several of the bestplatform speakers
were present. The train halted at
St. Paul for an hour Saturday to
receive the Minnesota delegation.
The White Ribboners have since
resolved not to travel on the Lord s
Day, and months back invitations
were received from cities along the
route asking the Ribboners to larry
at those places. Fargo's mayor and
citizens were among those to ask,
and the invitation was accepted, and
last Sunday the Fargo pulpits were
occupied by w. G. T. U. speakers.
At 1905 Monday morning the
special left 'Fargo and proceeded to
Seattle, arriving there this morning.
Delightful programs were carried
out each day on the train. The con-
vention will open tomorrow, and
will close on the 25th. There are
now about 10000 unions in our
country, while similar organizations
exist in 40 other civilized Nations,

A Washington special Of last Tues
day announced the fact that an Or

master at this place to remove the
postofice from its present location

The matter has been hanging fire
since some time in July, when the
postmaster made application for a
permit for removal, and this was ac-
companied by petition asking that
a permit be granted. The petition
and application were sent to Repre-
resentative McCleary, aud by him
forwarded to Washington, with a
strong recommendation that the re-
quest and permit be granted. Just
prior to that time an informal pro-
