Doherty, Eastman, Shaw.

Bills are now before the Legislature
to commute the death sentences of all
three of the murderers now under SEN
commented at length on the case of
Charles Doherty, the first of the three.
The second in point of time of the
murder committed, is Frederick East
man, who shot and killed Franklin
Fem at Middlebury in August, 1899.
Eastman lived at the time in Green
field. Mass. His wife had left him
and lived with her mother in East
Middlebury. AT the time of the muir
der Eastman went from Greenfield to
Middlebury and drove to the house of
his mother-in-law, where he shot both
her and his wife, wounding them Sc
riously. He then drove five miles to
the residence of Mr.. Fem, where he
shot him fatally in his own house, and
wounded his wife. His declaration to
Mrs. Brown, the mother-in-law was 81
have come to break up the family"
Frank Shaw, the third on the list, is
the man who escaped with his father
from the Windsor county Jail at Wood
stock on the oath of April, 1900, was
overtaken by the sheriff and his posse
in a Stockbridge pasture after a SEN
Hoffman with a rife, in desperate
fashion, his victim dying the same
day.
The cases of both went to the su-
and were carefully considered, the
judges finding no reasons or extenuat-
ing circumstances which warranted
new trials or a sentence less than that
of death. If the legislature should
commute the sentence of any or of all
these criminals it would be an arbi-
trary act, done as matter of false SEN
timent, and not because of any facts
not known to the courts and judicially
considered by the judges. The es-
sential fact in all the cases is the
same as in Doherty's that no legis-
lative body can consider such cases
with the calmness, impartiality and
full knowledge which the judges haYe
given to them, and for the legislature
to interfere is to override and discredit
the work of the courts.
There is one thing more. Should
the time ever come, as we think it will
not come at this session of the legis-
lature, when the state of Vermont
shall substitute Imprisonment for life
for the death penalty, the law will
have to be hedged about in some way
to protect the people from the work
of that unhealthy sentimentalism
which is sure after the lapse of few
years to start petition to secure the
pardon and release of every criminal
who has been a victim of the law.

The member from Wells has renew
ed the proposition, made in the legis-
lature several years ago, to have law
passed providing that newspaper pub
fishers cannot collect for papers sent
after the time paid for has expired.
There is much to be said in favor of
the advance pay plan for the newspa-
per business, but it is difficult to see
why the law should attempt to single
out the publisher as the one man who
may not do a credit business. This
would seem like class legislation with
a vengeance, and were the enactment
of such a law to be considered serious
ly it would be question for the law
yers to decide what points of consti-
tutional law would be involved.

Lieutenant Commander Edwards of
the United States navy has demon
strated by repeated experiments that
oil is more efficient for making steam
than coal, either for warships or
merchant vessels. The oil is not
used as directly combustible, but is
vaporized under air or steam pres
sure. The oil will produce from 20
to 40 per cent. More steam than the
same quantity by weight of the best
Pocahontas coal. 1t is not expected
that oil will entirely take the place of
coal on the warships, but it's great
value will lie in it's use in emergen-
cies in naval warfare, particularly in
avoiding coaling at sea.

,ublic ownership of public utilities

Public ownership OF public utilities
has been but little more than an argu-
ment in our own country, but we see
an important step in this direction in
Mexico, where the government con-
trolls the Interoceanic railroad COM
pany, which has a railroad of $50
miles, the main line connecting Vera
Cruz with the City of Mexico. The
object of the Mexican government in
buying control of the road is stated to
have been to prevent combination of
railroads to control the import and ex-
port trade of the republic and to es-
tablish a strong influence in favor
of reasonable and undiscriminating
transportation rates.

The success attending the efforts of
President Roosevelt to settle the great
coal strike will have a tendency to cause
the people to listen to his suggestion that
a tariff commission be created for the
purpose of taking into consideration the
revision of various schedules from time
to time. particularly as the idea had al
ready commended itself to a large num-
Der of people. 1t is recognized that the
adoption of reciprocity to the extent fa-
vored by the administration will afford
no small degree of relief in the way of
tariff reduction. and tariff commission
would be able to take the steps neces-
sary to ensure safe and conservative
action in the matter of revision.
AS people study this question, they
will unquestionably become more and
more impressed by the fact that the mat
ter of changing the tariff schedules
should not be subject to every political
change that occurs in connection with
our frequent congressional elections. As
matter of fact this subject should be
removed from the domain of politics. and
that for various reasons. In the first
place the people have become educated
to the idea that prosperity depends in
no small degree upon the maintenance
of proper tariff no matter what that
may be. and as natural consequence,
whenever there is a probability or even
possibility of a pronounced change in
the rate of customs duties on imports.
business and financial interest at once
become apprehensive. If the tariff could
be placed in control of a nom partisan
commission of careful men and hedged
about with conditions to prevent too
radical and too rapid changes there
would be no likelihood of disturbances
of business and industry from this
source.
In the second place an arrangement of
this character would make 1t possible to
revise only one schedule in a certain Pc
riod, leaving other changes to be made
later. Tn this way tariff revision could
be affected gradually and the country
would thus avoid any outward effect that
might follow revision of the whole tariff.
In the third place tariff commission
could be made up of experts and business
men and statesmen in well considered
proportion and so constituted that a re-
vision of any given schedule could be
made independent of any partisan or To-
cal considerations, but taking into ac-
count the interests of the country as a
whole. These conditions would be like
ly to combine to make possible much
wiser and much more beneficial tariff
than could the present custom of using
the tariff as a political foot ball to be
tossed and kicked back and forth across
our presidential and congressional fields.
The gain to our business, financial and
industrial interests from the increased
stability and steadness thus assured
would be inestimable, and business men
everywhere would have granted their
prayer to be left alone except in cases
where thorough investigation showed a
revision to be greatly needed We shall
be surprised If President Roosevelt's ad-
vocacy of the creation of a tariff commits
sion does not become one of the most
popular acts of his administration.
