Governor LONGING finds no warrant
for the Communication of the death SEN
tence Of Cooke and Lauderdale, SEN
fenced to hang at G~reenville, July %.
for the murder OF wray. He also de-
clined TO respite Cooke. This request
was made by Mr.. Dean, Cookies attOr-
ney, in order to raise a federal ques-
ton for the purpose Of appealing to
the supreme court OF the United
States. The governor. when asked
by Mr.. Dean to respite Cooke, referred
him to Chief Justice Whitfield. who
declined to givea certificate that there
was a federal question involved. Mr..
Dean has gone to Narragansett Pier TO
secure. il possible, a writ OF super
sedeas from Chief Justice White OF
the United States coart.
In addition to the testimony Of the
witnesses given at tile trial of the
cause and the proof since furnished on
the subject Of Cookies mental respon-
sibility. the governor has conferred
with various disinterested persons
who have known Cooke for years and
he has been forced to the conclusion
that while Cooke is eccentric and his
mind is incoherent the governor has
! reached the conclusion that he is in
many respects brighter than either Of
the other two men and that he is re-
sponsible for his deeds
Discussing the matter this morning
the governor said that after a careful
review OF the whole ase it was his
honest conviction that to eliminate
sympathy Of the friends and relatives
there was nothing left On which To
base Communication. The governor
declined to grant the respite for the
reason that since his duty in the mat
ter seemed clear not to commute after
a patient study and full understanding
OF the S that a respite would sim
ply prolong the agony without chang
ing the result and he felt also impelled
for that reason to decline kindly but
firmly the request for the respite.

Should Church Newspapers Publish
Advertisement of Tobacco Firmsp

London Express.
Is 1t wrong to publish advertisements
OF tobacco firms in religious journals?
This is a question which Is a9itating
and the Strand.
In their desire to reach all users of
tobacco the great firms, English and
American. have approached the religious
papers delicately, through the advertis-
ing agents.
It Is an unwritten law Of the religious
paper that you may advertise pill in
but you must not advertise either liquor
or tobacco.
The banning of liquor one can under
stand; but why tobacco?
Divines great and small. smoke. Some
of the greatest of sermons have been
penned in libraries and studies over which
the fragrant clouds hang by day and
night.
At the annual gatherings of the great
churches rooms are usually set apart
for the wooing of the goddess Nicotia.
Why. then, refuse to print an adver-
tisement of gold fake or cigarettes?
One of the greatest of the religious
weeklies has thrown over the scruple.
and boldly accepted tobacco advertise
ments. Several of its readers. having ex-
hausted their patience in writing letters
of protest, have commenced to write to
other weeklies congratulating them upon
their firmness in refusing to follow this
example.
81 could get twenty pages of adver-
tisements tomorrow, said the manager
of one of these stalwarts. with a sigh
yesterday. IF my directors would allow
me to take these tobacco advertisements.
But 1t wouldn't do to offend any of our
readers. and SO We must see them SO
across the street.
