The death in prison of the negro,
Perry. accused of the Jack the slugge1
crimes in the suburbs of Boston, by
which several young women lost their
lives, relieves Massachusetts of an ex-
pensive and sensational trial. There is
little doubt of Perry's guilt, as the evil
dence was very strong and he had a
bad record. Since his arrest the
crimes have ceased and women are no
longer afraid to be out after dark in
Somerville, Cambridge, Brookline and
the other suburbs where his victims
were found in the streets dead or un-
conscious with fractured skulls.

This is the day when New Hampshire

This is the day when New Hampshire
votes upon the nine constitutional
amendments suggested by the recent
convention. Several are of little i'm
portance, but others have been much
discussed, particularly the amendment
giving women all the suffrage rights
which men possess. Another suffrage
amendment imposes an educational
qualification upon voters. One pro-
posed amendment allows the state to
tax franchises and inheritances;
another gives the Legislature power to
check trust excuses. and another re-
duces the basis of legislative repre-
sentation so that there Will be about
1926 members instead of 400, as at pres
ert. New Hampshire now mas the
largest Legislature in the Union and
the reduction might well have been
much larger one.

The Boston Advertiser finds two
things which make it believe that
Mormonism will not increase in the
West so rapidly in the coming years
as it has in the past. First is the
diminishing, rapidly vanishing, supply
Of government lands open to agricul-
tural settlement under the homestead
law. Those lands and that law, have
been vastly more powerful in building
up the Mormon church than all it's Il
apostles. The church has made the
ignorant proselytes from the dregs of
European peaSantry, On whom the
main reliance has to be placed for the
increase of numbers, believe that it is
the church which gives the land. The
second reason is the newly-enacted ir-
rigation bill. The Mormon hierarchy
will no longer control the water sup
ply, without which agriculture and
horticulture in the arid West are i'm
possible. Losing that control, Nor
monism vii; be shorn of half it's power.

since it mainly attacks children and IS
particularly contagious, is muen
dreaded Steps to prevent it's spread
can be taken which are impractical or
impossible with typhoid fever, and all
citizens should cooperate with the

gold mining is now being resumed on q

The Massachusetts legislature h;

The Massachusetts legislature has
passed bill which permits the Honor
able Artillery Company of London to
parade with firearms during their
visit to Boston. Senator Sullivan OF
South Boston spoke against it. He
described the coming English visitors
as "a foreign foe" and protested
against the giving to them of this
privilege. Their rifles may contain
bullets he said. We suspect that this
Senator Sullivan is Hon. Richard Sulli-
van who visits OLD Orchard, each sum-
mer, and VINO is a leader in all the
good times of that popular resort, the
president for years of the woridfa-
nous Robbery club and an orator of
much ability. Few men have Il richer
sense of humor, and if his senatorial
collea CUES took him seriously, as the
dispatches indicate, he was simply
having an ocean of fun with them.

A most worthy movement is that for
COO patriots of the Revolutionary war
who died on the British prison ships oft
the Long Island shore. The prison ship
martyrs" they have been called and
the name is we'll applied. For monu-
ment to them Congress has appro-
priated 100000 and the state of New
York $4,000, while the city of New
York has been authorized to expend
$4,000. These appropriations are all
contingent on the raising of an addi-
tional $4,000 by popular subscription.
OF that amount $4,000 has already been
trouble in raising the balance. In re-
cent years many monuments have been
erected to distinguished Americans,
but few patriots are more worthy a
permanent memorial than those men
whose lives rotted away in the infested
holds of those prison ships. Their
treatment is one of the worst biots on
the name of Great Britain They had
a standing offer of release II they
would forswear the Cause os -ffffldes'
pendence, but tradition has it, That
only one prisoner of all those thousands
accepted liberty on that condition. His
name is lost. and it is well. The erec-
ton of fitting monument to the $4,000
who died will be but an act of tardy
justice.
