The Republican Executive Commit

very lively discussion of the case of
Road Supervisor Charles Wilson. The
argument appeared to be quite warm

At eleven o'clock the meeting broke up
to come together again at this after
noon, when it is expected that a de-
cision will be reached.

In discharging the jury Judge Dole

that in view of the testimony that had

But don't you ever let 'em so. we're

EDITORIAL OPINION
Adontinn an AInhahet.

From the Boston Transcript
The new movement to adopt our LAM
guage has been under consideration for n
number of years by an association Of
scholars and others in Japan under the
name of the Roman Character Society. A
committee composed Of the members Of
this society Is now investigating the pro-
posed change under Government sanction,
and there is no question that its report
will be favorable to action. In many
countries French is stll the diplomatic
and Official language, but the extension Of
Anglo-saxon influences to a large extent
brought about the use Of English in diplo-
matte correspondence. The language Of
commerce is largely English and scholars
write I'm tho language of their own coun-
try The adoption Of the Roman alpha0et
In Japan would not change the language,
OF course, but it would be a long step
toward making it more generally under
stood among other nations. Japan already
has many newspapers and periodicals
and tho people generally take kindly 70
them. With the adoption of Roman char
actess generally in writing and printing
the Japanese would soon begin to read our
language as we should theirs The change
Of letters 10 which tho Japanese Prince
who is visiting us has given his hearty
support, means q great deal for the Occi-
rehabilitation OF the progressive nation Of
the East.

deputy judge may sit in the case, as
out OF feeling OF delicacy Judge coch-
ran will not care to appear as counsel
and then mount the bench and decide
the case.
Now isn't that splitting hairs? Isn't
II carrying the matter Of trying to pre-
serve the proprieties too far? II Judge
Cochran has studied the case as he is
bound TO do in the interest Of his client,
isn't he then the most competent per-
son TO pass judgment?
For that matter, why should not the
deputy Judge represent the Board of
Health? There would be no more inn
proprieiy in that than in some other
things We have in mind. OF course in
case OF an emergency the clerk could
give the decisions.

A THING we DON'T WANT.

THERE are so many gas PROPOSE
u tions that the average citizen is
likely to be confused, but one solu-
ton we are very certain the city does
not want TO accept. We don't want
to enter into the gas business. and it
is surprising to us that the matter
has even been considered.
In the first place. we don't believe
that anybody would recommend that
the city spend something like a mill
lion dollars i'm erecting a plant; neither
do we suppose anybody would recon-
mend that we ask the owners Of the
present gas plant TO show their civic
spirit by presenting it to the city.
But if we had such a plant, in the
light Of certain experiences we have
had IN municipal government, we i'm
agine that either gas would soon be
$500 a thousand feet, or that there
would be an annual deficit So what
ever it is wise for us to do. certainly
we don't want to try municipal owner

A sEA.IEvEI CANAL

IT is probable that the plans for the
4 Panama Canal win be modified so
as to make it a sea-level waterway be-
tween the two oceans. The members of
the House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce on their return to
Washington express the opinion that
there are such difficulties in the way
Of a lock system that wiz probably
require a sea-levei canal While no
one knows how much more the sea
level canal win cost than a lock and
Gam canal a rough estimate that
something Ike sioo,oOO,OoO additional
will be required, has been made.
Possibly the necessity which will
compel a change Of plans win prove a
blessing in the long run. This canal is
one Of the greatest undertakings Of any
century or Of any people. II is not a
temporary expedient, but It win bear
commerce as long as It is carried on
the water. In a project Of such i'm
mensity 500 100000 is a comparatively
insignificant sum. A sea-level canal
would mean a great saving in time Ia
all the craft passing through in all the
years TO come, and there would be q
vast saving in maintenance.

canital Punishment.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The right Of collective society TO
take human life resolves itself into
the right OF self-protection. Capital
punishment as inflicted by a civilized
State, Is not n measure OF punitive
vengeance on the IAN eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth" principle, and
it can only be justified on the ground
that it demonstrably exercises a de-
terrent effect and makes the crime of
murder less frequent. But the theory
that IL does so is not borne out by the
experience OF States that have tried
the experiment of abolshing it. I'M
prlsonment for life is the extreme PEN
atty Of the law I'm Wisconsin, for ex-
ample, and in no section Of the coun-
try are homicides and lynchlngs rela-
lively less frequent than with us. A
legal execution is I'm itself to some
extent a denial of the sacredness Of
human life. A life taken under an un-
just sentence and conviction means an
irreparable wrong-and judges and
juries have sometimes erred.
Instead of limiting its humane pro-
test to a demand for an expert over
hauling of the penitentiary power
house and tinkering up OF the wires
and appliances Of the death chair, the
Ohio paper might well have used the
occasion to plead for the doing away
with capital punishment as a discred.

TIE PRESIDENTS REMEDY.

.ONE Of the most significant pas
" sages in the Presidents messages
is that relating to the protection OF
elections. He says.
The power Of the Government to
protect the integrity Of the elections OF
IFS own officials is inherent and has
been recognized and affirmed by re-
heated declarations Of the Supreme
Court. There is no enemy Of free gov
ernment more dangerous and none So
insidious as tho corruption Of the elee-
torate. No one defends or excuses
corruption, and Il would seem to fol-
low that none would oppose vigorous
measures to eradicate IT, recon-
mend the enactment Of law directed
AGAINST bribery and corruption in Fed
eral elections. The details Of such
law may be safely left to the wise dis
erection Of the Congress, but il should
90 as far as under the Constitution It
is possible to 90, and should include
severe penalties against him who gives
or receives a hribe intended to intlu-
enoe his act or opinion as an electors
and provisions for the publication not
only Of the expenditures for nomina-
tions and elections Of all candidates
but also Of all contributions received
and expenditures made by political
committees.
That is not the utterance of poll
tician, but the voice OF a President,
who recognizes an evil which to al
good citizens is alarming. The Presi-
dent takes for granted that mo one
defends or excuses corruption" He is
mistaken; it is possible for election
bribery to so so far that many come
to excuse and defend (which shows
that even President Roosevelt has not
fully grasped the worst feature, name
ly, the bunting OF the public con-
science.
But It is sufficient to know that the
condition has been recognized and
that Congress has been asked TO apply
remedy. Nobody need jump at the
conclusion that a force bill IS con-
templated. The Federal statutes al
ready provide for Federal jurisdiction
in cases where there exist conspiracies
to injure or intimidate voters at Fed
eral elections. The statutes might be
amended to include the crime Of brib-
cry.
It is significant that only few
nights since the United States District
Attorney for Delaware in an address
recommended the same remedy that
the President now urges, and as Mr.
Nlelds has long held this view and
has expressed it freely, it is but rea-
sonable to suppose that his ideas have
found a responsive sentiment in the
bosom Of the President. But whatever
the origin Of this idea, it is compl'-
mentary to both President Roosevelt
and the District Attorney for Delaware.
