Not Single Execution in the Late War

In reaching the decision to recon-
mend long term of Imprisonment in
the case of private in an Alabama
affray, Judge Advocate Liber has com
pleted n remarkable record, disposing
of the last of the capital cases that
had Gene before his department for re-
view without in any single case impos-
ing the death penalty. Thus, the war
has passed without the execution of n
single soldier on account of military
crimes. This is believed to be without
parallel in history. There were crimes
committed, but they lacked malice or
premeditation and there were no de-
sertions because of cowardicc or
treacherV.

Love oYrrauor Nor Hereditary.

Professor Sims Woodhead, speaking
before the Society For the Study Of
Inebriety In England, came to these
conclusions: He held most strongly
that direct transmission of the taste
for alcohol never occurred OF course
he accepted very fully the fact that
certain nervous diseases and degenera.
lions involving certain altered ana
weakened inhibitory powers are trans
mitted from generation to generation.
These. however. did not always as.
sumo the same form, the manifesto.
ton of the effect often taking on very
different characters in different gen.
erations.
But whatever character they assum-
ed the result as regards alcohol was
inevitably the same. and until far more
evidence was brought forward than
had yet been presented he should
strongly maintain that what was so
often spoken of as an inherited taste
for alcohol was an inherited weakness
and lessened self restraint affecting
many other things besides drink and
that direct transmission of the taste
for alcohol from parents to children
