The Jewel Consistency.

We do not believe in the principle
of the death penalty for crime, but
the legislature, having again endorsed
it, early in the recent session, did
right in refusing, later, to commute
the sentence of Mrs. Rogers, or to
provide for an inquiry into her mem
tai condition. No reasonable doubt
exists that she is guilty of murder in
the first degree and no mitigating
circumstances appear unless 1t be
those of inherent depravity and un-
fortunate associations; and Vermont
is not yet prepared, either in the way
of public sentiment and education, or
in practical facilities, to treat her
criminals on the theory that wrong
doing is an evidence of mental and
moral disease and should be treated
as such.
A woman recently appealed force
fully through the columns of the New
York Times for "a chance" for Mrs.
Rogers. She pointed out the fact that
the condemned woman had been born
with degenerate tendencies which had
been fostered by improper surround
ings and degrading associations. She
explained that Mrs. Rogers had not
the moral stamina in the beginning
to combat these bad influences. Give
her a chance" she urged.
But Vermont is not in a position,
at present, to give her such chance.
our law, strongly endorsed by public
sentiment. as represented by the
majority of the members of the late
legislature, says, Hang the murder

cuse for failure to hang Mrs. Rogers. |

the legislature in this matter; but the |

There are two ways of passing the

his country: he dreams and in nus
waking hours beholds only the shad-

weeps for his patriots Mabinl ana
Aguinaldo and his Misrepresentation
of his own government, unconscious
ly perhaps, make him avoided by ms
to some extent. on the
other hand, the warm hearted eX-Gov-
ernor Holbrook lives quietly and de-
lights only in sunshine; he recog-
nizes the changes that time is bring

The Pure Food Law.

The pure food law just passed will
make II possible to exclude from the
market such adulterated goods as the
pink candy with which Montpelier
children were poisoned last week II
positively prohibits, with penalty of
fine or Imprisonment, the sale of
authorizations In the way of food or
drink, either for man or domestic ami
mails and gives the powers of inspect
orship to the members of the state
board of health and TO every health
officer in the state.
DR.. Caverly, president of the state
health board, pronounces the law all
right. theoretically, and is hopeful OF
its practical usefulness. He predicts
embarrassment from its enforcement
to certain dealers and manufacturers,
however and adds that Vermont, be-
ing surrounded by states having such
laws as this. has become. in a way.
the dumping ground for food products
unmarketable in the other states. The
health officers of the state hope under
this law to be able at least to safe
guard the people against fraud in the
matter of canned goods maple sugar
and syrup, spices, confectionery and
the milk supply, all of which have
been found, in neighboring states, to
be much subject to adulteration.
The matter of food adulteration is
one which has a larger influence on
the public welfare than is generally
realized. Researches and experiments
made by the bureau of chemistry In
the department of agriculture, have
shown that the personalities ana /
used in food products are
injurious to health when such pre- |
pared foods are made the basis OF
diet. Dr. Wiley, chief of the bureau |
in a recent address on Food Adult
teration, told how the bright green
color of certain imported peas Is OBJ
.ained by the use of sulphate of cop
per and that French white wines
contain a large amount Of sulphur

'ect the digestion. Eggs from China,
broken and preserved by generous
mixture of boracic acid, DR.. Wiley
declared, are used by prominent ca

poke little fun at him because OF

even then they recognized that they
were up against a proposition when
he was the opposing counsel in local
law cases. People said at that time
that Fits had talent and ability, but
he never heard them when they
talked that way. If he secured case
