MURDER AND IT'S PUNISHMENT

The recent execution of Mrs. Place in
New York has aroused the opponents
of capital punishment to renewed agi-
tation. Their chief argument is that
the execution of murderers is brutaliz-
ing; that instead of checking it in
creases crime, and that juries are SO
unwilling to hang men for murder that
many guilty ones escape any adequate
punishment. But Michigan many years
ago abolished capital punishment for
murder substituting life imprison-
ment. During the ten years from 1880
to 1890 the number of homicides in
Michigan increased FOG per cent faster
than the average increase for the Unit
ed States. In the years 1891 and 1892
there were 1872 murders committed in
Michigan and only per cent of the 1913
men tried for these crimes received life
sentences Michigan has a population
of 2,093,S89, and Canada 4,829,411, be-
ing in the ratio OF about to 5. On
this basis, if the crime of murder were
committed in the same proportion in
the two geographical divisions Michi-
gan should have only two murders to
Canada's five. AS a matter Of fact
however, in the ten years between 1854
to 1894 there were 484 murders in
Michigan to 223 in al Canada, or in
proportion to population there were
five murders in Michigan to one in Can
ada. In the same time SO murderers
were convicted in Canada, or about one
to every three murders, while 122 muir
derers were convicted in Michigan, or
one to every four murders. Canada

ECUADOR ADOPTS THE GOLD
STANDARD

Coincident with the announcement
that the Chicago platform demo-
Gratis vii control the next democratic
national convention and that the 16 TO
1 fallacy will not be abandoned comes
the report through our consul general
at Guayaquil that the congress of Ec-
uadCr has passed a law which, within
two years, will place the monetary sys-
tenn Of that country on a gold basis
Of course the Bryanites in this coun-
try are not concerned about the drift of
the silver monometa1lic countries to
the gold basis. They are determined
to make the same old fight over again,
notwithstanding the fact that the
commerce of nearly the entire world is
now conducted upOn a gold basis.
Their adherence to free coinage at 16
to l is a blind infatuation that is not
affected by the action of other countries
and takes no account of commercial
conditions, financial interests or nat
ural laws.
The action Of Ecuador has great sig
nifcance. however, in the financial and
commercial world Ecuador is a sill
yer producing country and has been
practically upon a mOnometallic silver
basis, with no gold in circulation and
all her paper redeemable in silver I'm
der the new law the money, which con-
sists Of notes issued by the banks, will
be redeemable in gold and not in sill
YER The gold standard is fixed at the
rate of 500 to l.
The action of Ecuador is also gigni-
fcant because it was not taken in re-
Spouse to demands of the capitalists
and moneyed interests OF the country.
The currency of Ecuador has been of a
very stable character and the financial
resources Of the banks relatively
as solid as any in the world. But labor
was getting the worst of it under the
silver m0nome tallic basis. The cocoa,
coffee and sugar planters got rich by
paying for labor and supplies in silver
and selling their products for god on
the gold basis to gold standard coun-
triss. The adoption of a fixed gold
with the use of silver at q
ratio of 500 to 1, offered the only rem
edy for the inequalities from which la
Dor suffered.
Ecuador is the fourth country of
Latin America to adept the gold stan
dacd, having been preceded by Vene- !
zuela, Costa Rica and Peru, while Uru-
quay and Chile are nOminally upon a
gold basis, although suffering from the
of a paper currency thai
is not easily converted into coin.-Chi-

PHIL NAYS SKETCHES IN CHI
CAGO.

Ninety-eight original pencil and pen
and ink drawings by Phil May, chief
artist on Londcn Punch, win BE placed
on exhibition here tIOnday morning.
The pictures, which will he shown fni'
twelve days, include many of the
artists familiar types-the coster-
mcnger, the "guttersnipe, the Ar
riets and the 'Enerys being among
thenl-and they are but little larger
than the reproductions. This viii be
the first time that Mr.. Mays original
drawings have ever been exhibited IN
this city and one of the very few tim IS
that they have been seen in the land.
An art critic has this to say OF the
pictures:
They may be studied with profit,
for the artist not only possesses IN
usual intuition in the delineatiDn of
human nature, but he has d facility
and an artistic rendering of his Ina
teTials far beyond the ordinary. lie
expressed with few strokes all that
ne has to say, and the simplicity Of his
technique is nc. less alluring to the
layman than to the artist though the
latter may, perhaps, better realize the
difficulties overcome. To know Mr..
May is to be acquainted. with a very
delightful, many-sidel man. next TO
this is to be familiar with his work,
and here one may see him in a field
that he has made peculiarly his own. "

upon women from that imposed upon
men,
The point to which we would call at
tenti0n is that prominent preacher of
the Gospsl DToclailns from his pulpit
the incompetency of the Christian re-
ligion to overcome what he calls the
moral instinct of mankind in favor of
the death penalty for murder. He de-
dominates that instinct ''CGe OF the
fixed facts that the Cross of Christ is
not competent to dispIace.
If this means anything, it means
that there are moral instincts which
influence and control humanity more
powerfully tlan anything to be found
in the teachings or inspiration of
Christianity According to this view,
the Christian religion is a secondary
force in the world and the moral in
stinct of mankind is more powerful.
But what would be said by the clergy
man who proclaims these views, if his
hearers should take him at his word,
and avow their preference to be led by
the moral Instincts, which he says the
Cross Of Christ is not competent to
displace, rather than by the laws of
Christianity, which he declares TO be
less potent?
To speak as DR.. Parkhurst does of
the fixed facts that the Cross of Christ
is not competent to displace," is pub
licly to proclaim the comparative in
efficiency of the Christian religion,
which, to the truly consccrated preach
er. ought to be the greatest force in the
wCIid.-New York Sun.

Mayor Dyer says he did not have
the heart to stand by and see the de-
struction of so many splendid resi-
dences." His action in ordering the
fire department to the scene of the fire
in La Villa Place was creditable to
himself, but in view of the remarks of
P. l. Kay and other residents CT the
addition, we believe that in the event
of another fire in that addition the
mayor will feel like holding the de-
partment at the city line and let the La
Villa Place patriots hustle for them

MORALITY AND CHRISTIANITY
''FiXed Facts that the Cross of Christ
Is not Competent to DisDlace"

Is the moral instinct of mankind in
any respect hostile to- Christianity?
And is the moral instinct OF mankind,
if hostile, ever more powerful than
Christianity? These questions are sug-
gested, not by the utterances of any
Professed infidel or agnostic, but by a
passage in a sermon by the Rev. DR..
Charles H. Parkhurst at the Madison
Square Presbyterian church en- Sun
day morning
The execution of Mrs Placel was the
subject of the discourse. 1t was a
CHASTITY topic and was treated in a SEN
sational manner. The woman's crime
was an incorrigible fact. said the
preacher, and something had to be
done about it. II mad gu t. be tax

been a moral instinct of mankind that
the way her crime was taken care Of
is the best way to take care of that
kind of crime. That is cre Of the fixed
facts that the Cross CT Christ is not
competent to displ8ce."
We are not now concerned with the
question Whistler life Imprisonment
ought TO be substituted for capital pun
ishment in cases of murder, or whether
a different penalty SHOULD be imposed

FLYING MACHINES AND LIQUID
AIR.

One Of the inventions upon which
some of the most capable minds of the
world are engaged today is q device
that will enable man to navigate the
air. OF course the balloon we have al
ways with us, but tbs best specialists
do not regard the balloon as suitable
to dirigible navigation. 1t presents an
excessive resistance to the wind and
becomes debated too soon to make it
available for long voyages.
If the balloon be made in the form
of a cylinder or a cigar shaped car i'm
permeaBle to gas, it's weight becomes
too great to enable it to lift much Else.
1t has been currently believed by
many experimenters that if q motor of
exceptional power in proportion to its
weight could be put into such a car it
could be forced upward by a large
screw propeller acting beneath it. The
difficulty heretofore has been to get q
motor that would meet the conditions.
Since extraordinary results have been
obtained with liquid air, it has been
suggested thai this method of storing
force would solve the prOblam of a
light motor for flying machine.
While, Of course, unexpected obstacles
in the way of such e device may be en-
countered, there seems a reasonable
probability that the liquid air motor
will make possible q practicable air

The fighting that was done by Cen
eral Otis army in it's advance from Ma
Mia to Malolos is remarkab bic in many
aspects, but in none more SO than in
the duration of the engagement which
continued without cessation for sew
enty-two hours, E-fore Il stop was
made for rest or recuperation. This
record matches some CT the greatest
battles of history and deserves to be
ranked with some sven in the creates!
of all wars, our own civil rebellion. It
is the pluck, persistence and endurance
shown by Otis troops that is astonish-
ing Aguinaldo's army and demoraliz-
ing it by ceaseless and relentless
hammering such as tbs rebel COM
mander never thought could be main
tanned. Whatever mistakes may have
been made in the Cuban campaign, in
the way of supplies and equipment,
they have apparently been gloriously
atoncd for by the perfection of organ
ization, superb strategy and excellence
OF commissary service that have en-
abled the army to deal heavy and sus-
tained blows to the rebel army in the
Philippines. The force that can stand
the strain of seventy-two hours con-
slant engagement and remain. as Otis
daily reports, lin fine SPIRITS must
soon crush the rebellion.

4 PRTMA DoNNA's PLEA
What Lilli lehman Said to New York
Audubon Society

-Iilli Lehman, whose voice has
thrilled hundreds Of thousands OF low
ers Of music, arose early Saturday and
journeyed up to the American museum
CT natural history to enter her protest
against the sacrifice of fea thered song
sters for purposes of personal adorn-
nent. Tie great prima donna was the
guest of the Audubon society Of New
York, which was holding It's second
annual meeting at the museum. There
are fifteen such societies in The United
States, with an aggregate member
ship of 10000 persons, all pledged to do
what they can for the protection CT
birds. About 500 members were pres
ent Saturday.
Nine. Lehmann-Kalisch, who at
tTacted much attention when she en-
tered the hall, wore a gown of royal
purple and hat that was a dream, but
in which there were nc, birds feathers.
She was introduced to the audience,
and attempted to address them in Eng
fish. Finding this difficult and being
informed that the German language
would be quite as acceptable 10 the
Audubonftes, she said:
Il beg all women and girls not to
wear birds or birds feathers III their
beautiful birds are slaughtered for
this terrible folly. Why should We en-
joy adjoining ourselves with feathers
like saYages? Flowers and ribbons are
a thousand times more beautiful and
becoming. 1t is the duty of al, man
and women, to battle against this
folly Of slaughtering the birds. For

Few of us appreciate this wonderful

Marconi's wireless biography mas been

crowned with success and that he will
be able to transmit messages without
