Sex and Criminal Responsibility.

FROM the Philadelphia Times.
1t would be within the power of legis-
lature to enact. if It chose, that man
should be punished for murder by death
and woman by Imprisonment. But the

Vocate this discrimination in the statutes
Ifey would rather appeal to the tender
ness or the executive. 1t is only on the
assumption that a woman is not re-
sponslble member OF society that she can
be exempted from the ordinary penalties
OF crime. This theory is no longer prac-

Doodle Brought on the War.

FROM the Johnstown. Pa. Democrat.
We do not believe all the truth is yet
known concerning the events leading up
TO the war. There were secret springs at
work which have not vet been exposed
and we are just beginning to learn that
some of the hottest friends of Cuba in
congress had selfish reasons for provok-
ing !.ostilities whose outcome was ex-
pected to validate concessions that had
been quietly obtained while the conces-
slonaires were ostensby visiting Cuba to
acquant themselves with the actual con-

L appears that the smokers and
drinkers of the country did great
deal to help the nation out with it's
war with Spain. But for them there
would have been a deficit in the war
revenue that would have been, to saw
the least, embarrassing. During the
last fiscal year the total receipts of the
internal revenue department were
s17o,s6e, ,S1s.36. With the exception CT
only two and half millions. every dol
lar of that tremendous sum was paid
over for the support of our national
machinery by the devotees of nicotine
and Bacchus. 1t would certainly puzzle
the government to get a like amount
from other sources with as little trou-
Bile or Inconvenience. And what is sur
prising, Kentucky does not lead in the
matter of paying whiskey taxes. The
largest sum from any one state came
from Illinois.

Lumber Barons Responsible for Floods

From the Minneapolis Times.
All authorities agree in attributing the
increasing prevalence and destructveness
of annual floods, the result of heavy rains
in many portions of the country, to the
rapid denudation of the river banks and
the destruction of the timber on the wa
tersheds of tributary streams.

Choate to the English.

FROM the Detroit Free Press.
We are glad to cooperate with Great
Britain in the concuests of peace and
commercial freedom. but Englishmen
should understand that we propose to
keep on friendly terms with the rest of
the world at the same time if we can.
These were the Thoughts which Ambassa-
dor Choate sought to impress upon his
hearers Wednesday night, and from the

words are said to have been received it
is evident that his declarations We're IA

. HILADELPHIA'S typhoid fever

- HILADELPHIA'S typhoid fever
epidemic shows no signs of
abatement, and the newspapers
of that city are expressing serious
alarm. The whole number of cases
since January has reached 4,5O9, and
the number of deaths 457. This is near
ly three times the death rate of a year
ago--156 in the same period--and the
typhoid record of 1898 in Philadelphia
was the worst in its history The cause
is the city's impure water, and the cit
izens are at last thoroughly aroused
AS usual in such cases, they have pro-
crastinated. The disease has been con-
stantly increasing for long time. and
the people have been repeatedly warned
of the ultimate result. But 1.-The peo-

" party, at present without form

shape at conference to be held in
Buffalo. June 2S-July 4, for united
and efficient action in important direc-
tions." Among the signers to the call
for the meeting of the new organiza-
ton are a number of sociologists Lf
national prominence, including many
professors of political economy in lead
ing colleges and universities. They say
the country is undergoing a marked
change in respect to political issues and
social and industrial conditions. Wheth-
er they can agree among themselves to
an extent that will warrant such an
organization as they propose is a seri-
Gus question. Even if they do it is
hardly likely that the new party will
have any influence except possibly in
shaping to some extent the platforms
of the old parties. The democratic and

~ HERE seems to be a fatality
about the erection of state capt.
tolbu!ldings. Rarely has one been
built without a scandal of some sort.
Pennsylvania is the latest state with
grievance against her capitol COM
mission. 1t seems that the commission
has used up all the money appropriated
for the buildings construction. -Four
million dollars is asked to complete it.
More than that Pennsylvania new
capitol is pronounced a monstrcsity. In
fact the people OF Pennsylvania are
said to be considering whether it would
not be better and cheaper to tear down
the part of the new capitol already
constructed and erect a more modest
and suitable building. New York's OK
perience with her twenty million dollar
affair is notorious. And there have bean
others.

EIGHT HOUR INNOVATION.

A happy condition prevails at
the Metallic Extraction works at
Cyanide since the innovation of
the eight hour day system. Mr..
Argall, the general manager, has
inaugurated a system whereby the
three eight hour shifts perform the
same work that was previously
done, and thi without employing
additional men. There we're no
alterations made in the wage scale,
and the men now receive the same
amount for eight hours labor as
they formerly received for ten.
This condition of affairs at Cy-
anide is gratifying to everyone,
not alone those connected with the
works, but everyone in Florence
as we'll. 1t is especially pleasing
because, while the change is max
ing employees dissatisfied in other
places, and while gigantic strikes
are threatened in other large works,
there is perfect harmony and gen
eral good feeling here.
The Ell Paso people will have
the change completed by the 18th,
and there, too, there will be no
cause for dissatisfaction They
will employ few more men and
make no change in the wages.
The Management of each of these
works is to be congratulated on the
result of its efforts to continue
under this most auspicious ar
rangement, for here, at least, they
have made the eight hour law
success.

that exports of manufacturers in

ABOUT FLORENCE.
The North American Review Ar
ticIe Full of Hope for Our City.

The June mum Der of the North
American Review arrived today,
containing a writeup of Florence
that mast prove of inestimable
value to our city. The article
treats of the growth of cities and
the conditions that are conducive
to their development, and then fol-
lows sort of prophecy, or, perhaps,
simply an intimation Of, what the
future holds in store for Florence.
1t says:
= = While many of the
growing cities claim they are in
the right place, all have their
doubts, ALA conscious of lacking
something fear that Chicago's
history may be repeated some
whore along the Rocky mountains
haunts them and strange coinci-
dence is that for thousand miles
up or down the range, every as
piring town or city has heard of
Florence, Colorado, and shudders
n little when its name is mentioned.
This fact-whispered only in Sc
cret and stoutly denied in the open,
is, nevertheless, the one Ghost that
will not down.
"That Florence, with its temper
ate climate, its abundantand never
failing water supply; its mex
haustible coal. oil and natural gas;
its building material so abundant
that it is hardly noticed. backed
on the west. by the nations great
treasure house of hardly touched
riches, and before it the garden of
the world, holds and combines in
unlimited abundance all the ele-
ments of future greatness, cannot
be denied. If past experience
counts for anything, and right con-
clusions have been drawn from its
teachings, it is clear that Florence
is another natural place for a city.
Little wonder, then. that when
panics swept the country here
values did not shrink, that when
great railroad systems were crash
ing. Florence was building rail
road into the great gold field of
Cripple Creek; that here shone the
first returning CLEAN of prosperity,
that for years every important en-
the state has in some
way been connected with Florence,
that now more new railroads, street
railways and public improvements
are under consideration here than
elsewhere in the state"

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1899-02-19
wants a statue of a Soldier.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Any reference in your valued columns to
Indiana'S monument to her soldiers always
interests What would the community in
general think Of son who, desiring to erect
a monument to the memory of his illustrious
father would erect a magnificent column
for such a purpose and then place his own
statue on its top? Indiana erects monu-
ment to commemorate her brave sons and
places her own statue on its browning and
most conspicuous part.
1t is not how the one group or the other
may impress the individual, but how the
whole monument reflects emotional re-
fiexive power" Nothing would add so much
to this grand and noble monument if the
statue OF Indiana could be replaced by one
OF the common soldiers who stands for
the patriotism and loyalty of the common
people Its emotional and ref1eXive power"
would be increased beyond estimate The
necessity of reading the inscription or of
having guide TO explain what a thing
stands for detracts from the power of in
spiration and emotion. A heroic statue of a
common soldier never fails to inspire. You
look with admiration on a statue of Grant,
or sherman, or Logan, or other great lead
er. The emotions are very much the same
as when you look on the statues of great
statesmen, great authors, great inventors,
ETC., but turn from all these and rest your
eyes on statue of common soldier There
IS no name carved on the base, yet your
blood foWs faster, the roots of your hair
take a frmer hold, your eyes sparkle and
the flush on your cheeks grows brighter.
Ine statue of great general appeals to
the soldier, of a great statesman to the
legislator or the lawyer, of a great author
TO the student, of a great inventor to the
mechanic, but the statue of the common
soldier, like the flag, appeals to, inspires
and thrills every one. ERP.
