A Generous Secretary.

A curious story is told of Lord
Rowton in his younger days as Mr..
Montagu Cory when he was secreta-.
ry to Lord Beaconsfeld. In 1868
came the Fenian outbreak, with the
Clerkenwell explosion and the con-
sequent desolation of the neighbor-
hood. The private secretary walked
across from st. Arthur's club to a
fashionable harness makers in st.
James street and was at once fitted
with a strong leather girdle from
which depended two enormous pock-
cts. Thus equipped, he drove to
Downing street to see his chief. Gin
heavens name, what is this ?" was
the exclamation of surprised salute.
81 am going" replied the secretary,
'to distribute largess of silver and
copper to the Clerkenwell sufferers.
l have a hanson waiting below.
When l have placed some small
change in these pockets l shall drive
off"
1t was of Lord Rowton that
Lord Sherbrooke said at his eleva-
tion to the peerage: "Caligula made
his horse a consul. ! really see no
reason why Lord Beaconsfeld
should not create his private secre-
tary a peer"

Woodstock, w., Oct. 81, 1908.

Hon. Ied S. Stanton of RoNbury
has been prominent party man for
some years. We don't know that he
has really aspired to the governor
ship before, but as representative
of the old regime the mention of his
name now is about as vitalizing and
electritying as bite of banana.
There cannot be much enthusiasm
over advent of candidate who
would naturally have the backing
OF the war horses of Vermont's re-
publican administration, which con-
spicuously. failed to get the GUS
toma,y endorsement from the people
in 1902. A newer, iIresher force is
demanded, not any more claims to
hereditary rights. As with the
genial lieutenant governor, so with
all the rest of the hosts Of the al
ministration which was nearly I'M
seated twelve months ago. 1t should
have more trouble in righting itself
this wear.

As to Capital Punishment.

'Vermont needs one or two good
old-fashioned hangings and this cpl
demic of murders that is affecting
the state will come to an end" says
the Swanton Courier, and this mild
and gentle sentiment finds approval
here and there. There have been
"good old-fashioned hangings" here,
but the fact that there is little OF no
decrease in the number of homicides
can hardly be advanced as AN d,gu.
ment for the retention of the death
penalty. In New York the death
penalty is still inflicted, but the re-
cent spectacle Of triple execution
in that state has aroused more Of Il
sentiment of horror than otherwise
there; it is more to the liking of
those who demand few olh-iash-
Toned killings as possible deter
rent to further homicides in YER
mont.
1t is the experience of several
states at least that the abolition of
capital punishment has in fact re-
suited in decrease in the number
OF murders; in surer, speedier just
Ike for the accused, more convic-
tons and fewer lynchings. Gov
ernQ Washburne of Wisconsin
wrote in 1873:
1t is twenty years since the aboli-
ton of capital punishment. No
state can show greater freedom from
homicidal crime. With popula-
ton representing almost every ma
tionality, statistics show that crime
instead of increasing with the
growth of the state has actually
diminished.
Of Iowa Senator Jessup wrote in
1876:
Murder in the first degree has not
increased, but has for four years de-
creased. Previous to the repeal of
the old law there was one murder
Tor every Soc, 1000 people. For the
four years since abolition there has
been one in every 1900, 900. There
is more lynch law where the gal
lows is retained.
Later statistics are not at hand,
but we doubt if conditions have
changed in recent years. But if they
have, and even admitting that the
gallows might put an end to any
"epidemic" of murders, here or
elsewhere, an active and usually
successful agitation for a reprieve
almost invariably follows convic-
ton, making the law practically a
dead letter. The people do not want
it enforced.

How Old is Anne :?

The following problem is exciting
wide interest in the best circles of
New England and Middle States
society:
"Mary is "a years old. Mary is
twice as old as Anne was when
Mary was as old as Anne is now.
i. How old is Amer"
This seems very simple at first,
but the obvious explanation must be
very carefully sc,utinized before it
is accepted. Some Of the very best
authorities consider that Anne and
Mary were twins.
One of Woodstock's most emil
nent mathematician considers that
Anne was thirty-eight, and there are
many strong arguments in favor of
that view.
We give our readers hint that
the best way to solve the problem is
said to be by algebraic formulae,
combined with some good arith-
metic. We caution our readers
against getting excited during the
problem, as it interferes with the
success of the work.
Anne is said to be very sensitive
about her age.
A prize of three months subscrip-
ton to The Age, without the De-
lineator, for the first successful
answer to the problem, is offered.
