Nota del dfa

Antes de que comenzara sus
trabajos la Asamblea legislati-
va, tuvimos OCCASION de expresar
estas palabras: La labor de la
Camara, en- la presente legislatu-
ra, es de rectifcacion. Hay mu-
cho que enmendar; mucho, tai
vez mas de 10 que parece; y hay
tambien mucho que desechar.
Tai vez porque sabe que no
ha de pasar en- Ell Consejo Eje-
cutivo, la mayorfa de los repre-
sentantes a la Camara, aprobo el
proyecte de ley aboliendo la pc
ma de muerte.
Era va necesario guitar de la
escena esa obra de gran espec-
taculo, que va iba cargando al
pueblo, aunque entretenia al
pdblico.
Y no sc podfa encontrar solu-
cion mas apropiada. Con apro-
barla la Camara baja y con que
Ell Consejo Executive la des-
apruebe Sc consiguen dos coSas
a la vez; dejar Ell turno a mas
importantes cuestiones; y no ha-
Ger un daflo mayor a la socie-
dad con la Suppression del terri
bic fantasma de la horca. Por-
que desgraciadamente Sc ha pre-
tendido que las concepciones f.
losolcas del genio virtuoso pue-
dan tener aplicacion en- un me-
dio vicioso y enfermo.
ESQ es peligrosfsimo.
No seran nunca las leyes me-
jores de un pueblo aquellas que
Sc distingan por la sabidurfa de
sus preceptos; por la elegancia
solemne de su expression y por
la universalidad de sus princj-
pios.
Las leyes son mejores cuando
mas correccionales resultan; y
mas dignas de respeto cuando
mejor garantizan Ell orden.
Ell insigne CASTELAR, compare
ba el orden con ell aire que res
piramos: 81 nos falta este pere-
cemos; 81 el orden no preside
todas las esferas de la vida sur
ge Ell aniquilamiento del caos.
No haya tenor de que extra
viemos ell camipo trazado. Ha-
blabamos de rectificaciones y a
este precisamente nos vamos a
referir.
AL entusiasmo innovador de
aquellas primeras Asambleas,
ha sustituido un prudente repo-
so. tai vez producido por Ell can
sancio de tan alocada produc-
Oion.
Y en- este periodic han solici-
tado las inteIigencias necesida-
des de equilibrio, ha surgido la
necesidad de rectificar en- la pri-
mera vertiginosa senda.
Las ideas no sc pierden in
fructuosas en- I'm vacio impro-
ductor- Germinan y crecen con
el contacto de las cosas materia,
les y perduran en- los tiempos.
Cuando un maestro de escue-
la que tenfa mas de sesenta
afios. fue declarado cesante y
condenado por la misma causa q
mendigar el sustento, la prime
Ta voz que Sc alz0 protestando
del hecho fue la ruestra.
Era una crueldad la aplica-
ci6n de la citada ley.
No podfa ser el desamparo, Ia
indigencia, la ingratitud, ell pre-.
milo concedido a la gloriosa We
jez de I'm maestro de escuela.
En- ESQ nos pareciamos a los
salvajes. que asesinan a los
ancianos, porque ellos recuerdan
Ia necesidad de la muerte. Perc
nuestra conducta era mas inhuz
mana que la de los barbaros.
Nosotros condenab abamos a mo
rir q los ancianos, es verdad

MRS. R. S. SHIELDS
Injured by Moving Street
Car at Canton.

Mrs. r. s. Shields met with an ac-
cident at 10:30 last night that may re-
suit fatally. She, with her husband
and daughter had been at the Country
club at Meyers lake spending the eve.
ming and returned on street car. Ac.
cording to the statement of the per.
sons in charge Of the car, Mr.. Shields
told the conductor to stop at Short
street, which is the nearest stopping
point to their home on West Tuscara-
was street
1t is stated that when the car was
about $50 feet from Shorb street Mr.
Shields stepped out upon the running
board Of the car preparatory to get
ting off when it stopped. 1t seems
that his foot slipped and he fell Off the
