CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

In an argument against capital pun
ishment for murder Mrs. Hulda l..
Potter Loomis denies the paramount
purpose of the law to be the prevention
of murder The only inference is that
she thinks the law is to furnish blood
thirsty sheriffs with entertainment. Mrs
Loomis is influenced by her humani-
tartan instincts to sympathize with the
unfortunate murderer beyond the lin
its OF reason. Her proposition to "ov-
ercome evil with good is creditable
to her womanhood, but absolutely i'm
potent.
The motherly disposition to condone
the wrong-doer rather than punish is
apparent throughout her generally well
stated argument.
Mrs. Loomis, like other hopeful re-
formers, expects to solve the problem
of our prsent-day crude civilization by
rules that will become operative only
when conditions are as they should
be. 1t is necessary that psychological
influneces and every other thing that
operates to produce criminal tenden-
cies in the race, and particularly in GER
tain classes, should be discovered and
abolished whenever possible. Know
ing as we now do that oftentimes mur-
derers are victims of hereditary influ.
ences, and also the gigantic wrongs Of
sobriety, we can judge them charitably
but we are not bcund to encourage
them.
When fire breaks out the first pur
pose is to extinguish it. SO it will not
spread to other buildings. When a
vicious dog bites a person the dog is
killed to prevent other persons from
being bitten The willful murderer
must be rendered harmless, and it is
an error to suppose because he has
human shape that his life is mere sac
red than any other brute.
We cannot jeopardlze the safety of
people in an effort to refrom individual
murderers, but we can all work togeth-
er to correct the evils that praduce
murderers. In spite Of all PHILOSOPHERS
the law OF self-protection is and always
will be the highest law.

Railroads and Export Rates.

To encourage export business and dis
courage American manufacturing in.
dustries that depend upon cheap raw
materials the railroads give specially
low rates on steel and other heavy
freight for export The interstate cor
merce commission is holding hearings
and is attempting to have the railroads
publish their export rates on all lines
of freight This they object 10 doing
It was brought out In one Of these,
hearings that certain railroads will not
accept freight from tramp steamers AT
the same rates as from regular lines
with which they have agreements. This
Is clearly discrimination In ra tes and Is
illegal This IS only one phase OF the

THE BREACH WlDENS.

The relations between Senator Han
ma and the president are strained al
most to the breaking point, and though
they may continue to be cordial cn the
surface it will require only small
thing to provoke open hostlities. The
president is jealous and suspicious of
Hanna. Hanna says be has written
and signed over 1000 letters to vari.
that he is not a candidate for presi.
dent.
President Roosevelt is disposed to
regard each of the 1000 1atters as a
yelled declaration of Willingness to ae.
cept the nomination. He wants Han
ma to write a letter similar in tone
and construction to the letter which
ex-Presidenv Cleveland sent tb ST.
Clair McKelway and thereby remove
the last vestige Of daubt as to his at.
titude toward the Republican nomina-
ton. Hanna will never write it. how
ever. He is more likely to yield to the
constantly increasing pressure OF Re
publicans from all sections of the coun-
. try who want him to admit publiTiy
that he will accept the nomination if
it is rendered to him by the cenyen-
ton His friends are urging that this
is the course he ought to pursue. in
view Of the underhanded attempts of
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1904-01-18
le presidents friends to discredit

the presidents friends to discredit
him
Another, and perhaps more import
ant, cause Of friction between Hanna
and the president is the fight in Ohio
for the control of the delegates to the
national convention. Senator Foraker
has constituted himself champion of
the presidents cause. His original
motive in begging the fight was doubt
less purely selfish, because he fore
saw that If Hanna's program Of select
ing complete delegation of Hanna
men was carried out his own retire
ment from Ohio and national politics
would be cnly question OF time. He
felt that Hanna was pursuing him in
revenge for his advocacy Of the Wood
nomination for other reasons equally
important to hanna.
By adroitly making the president a
co-partner in his scheme t. recapture
the state Mr.. Foraker strengthened his
own hands and created a distinct issue
between Hanna and Roosevelt, the ef-
feet of which cannot be otherwise than
to strengthen the growing belief OF
Republicans that Hanna is the presi-
dents rival for his party's nomina-
ton.

suffered from interjections OF slang
and cant phrases has been more than
counteracted by the disuse OF hard
