The Prospect of PeaC ;.

The peace ENJOYS will meet in for
NAL session tomorrow. Perhaps in a
day, perhaps not in two months, the
world will know the consequences
whether or not half a million men
are to be kept at the front to die Of
disease or be shot; the commerce of
the whole world disturbed by ships Of
war seeking contraband with exasper-
ating ubiquity; the resources of two
great nations to be bled of both means
and men; and the internal security
of one of the most populous govern
ments in the world lost in the mael-
strom Of internecine war.
Manifestly the outcome. depends
upon Russia. the beaten power, and
not upon Japan, the victorious. The
latter has too much to gain through
a confirmation of her victory to i'm
peril that result by asking too much.
The whole course of her action, in
preparing for war in the most bust
nesslike methods and in maintaining
it without hesitation or vacillation.
promises the direct methods of BUSH
hess men.
But Russia's course is far less GER
tain. Her CHIEF envoy even encour-
ages suspicion, OF late he has very
carefully nurtured the apprehension
that when Japan has announced her
terms he may calmly reject them as
impossible" and walk from the con
ference
The only effect then would be the
renewal of hostilities. And in invit-
ing that possibility the Russian en-
veys win calculate. of course, that
the heavy rains now falling in Man
churia may protect the Muscovite
arms from immediate destruction.
Bat in the end. no matter what con-
tI2eencies may now screen her. Rus
STA must be beaten and beaten sadly.
Yesterdays disclosures as to the con
ditions in RogestYensky's fleet Just
before its destruction-and surely
they were not disclosures to M. de
Witte and Baron Rosen-foretell con-
tinued disaster to the Russians as
long as they keep up the contest. The
plain truth of the matter is the gov
eminent is too rotten either to pro
vide decent sustenance for its troops
or TO equip TEEN with trustworthy
fighting materials.
Instead Of continuing the unequal
contest, therefore. III. de Witte and
Baron Rosen= will best serve their
country By concluding treaty of
peace on such terms as would satisfy
Russia were she the victor and not
the Vaneuished. 1t will have to be
done ultimately. It would best be
done right away And it is not at
all impossible that in spite of his
diplomacy NJ de Witte. the biggest
man in Russia, has determined to do
precisely this and has circulated his
approximations for the sole. purpose
OF keeping the japanese demands as
low as might be.

DEATH PENALTY
IS NOT CHEAPER
Execution Costs More Than
Life Imprisonment
VIEWS OF CRiMIN0L0GIST
Cesare Lombroso Submits Statistics
From France in Support Of This
Argument

LONDON, Aug Some of the advo-
Gates of death penalty offer an excuse
that lit is convenient, among othe-
things because t is cheaper"
"A criminal they say, sentenced 10
life imprisonment, represents a yearly
expense of several hundred francs 10 the
state, while a criminal put to death
ceases to be charge to the national
treasury"
1 have very often advocated the sup
preston Of capital punishment, bat
never before had occasion to discuss its
convenience under an economical point
of view.
The belief that to Kill a criminal
rather than TO send him to prison is
cheaper, Is not correct
Not Cheaper to Kill.
In France for instance. a prisoner
causes the state yearly expenditure
Of less than 800 francs ($72).
Should this man be executed. his death
will cost I,548 francs.
This sum does not include the salary
Of the executioner and his assistants. but
simply the price paid to the carpenters
for the erection of the scaffold.
The chief exeeutioner of France re-
ceives a yearly salary of 5000 francs,
and his five assistants enjoy an income
Of 1000 francs each.
There are also chief executioner and
five assistants in Aigters. who receive
like amounts.
Besides these expenses and the ], 543
francs paid to the carpenters Of the
guIllotine, the government pays u
francs extra to the esecutioner and i
francs each 70 his assistants for every
execution.
Taking ali into consideration. and sup
posing that twenty-five executions take
place in France every year and ten in
Algicrs. we have that the existence of
capital punishment costs the French
government about 10000 francs, divided

ADotheosis of Free Lunch

A buffet collation. was served, in
order to avoid the troublesome ques-
tons Of precedence that would have
required solution If the ENJOYS had
been seated, explains the press dis
patch, telling of how the President
entertained the Japanese and Russian
peace commissioners yesterday.
There's diplomacy with ven
geance. We are frank to confess that
the problem of who should sit on the
right of the President at that lunch
had worried us fan more than the
question of whether Russia would de-
cline to pay indemnity or Japan
would keep faith about returning
Manchuria.
Previous to that was the question
Of the order in which the ENJOYS
would be permitted to call on the
President 1t looked troublesome for
a time, but was settled sensibly
enough by the decision that the Jap
anese, who we're first to arrive in this
country, should be first received by
the President,
The buffet collation., which in any
but the language of diplomacy and
the society column, would be referred
to as free lunch, is the real triumph
Of the peace conference season to
date. 1t settled the yexing questions
of precedence by ignoring them The
ENJOYS of empires stood around ex-
actly as so many hurried men of
business at dairy lunch counter,
grabbing off what looked good to
them, and more likely than not fur
lively wondering what the price was
per dish. and whether there was a
detective keeping tabs on them in
case they should shrink the bill.
Should they chance TO tire of stand
ing on one leg, why, they were per-
fectly at liberty to change to the
other for a spell
However much the tendency to
superintendent may have encroach-
ed on the simplicity of our American
life, the free lunch has thus far pre-
served its pristine democracy. We
have long regarded it as one OF the
pillars of the temple Of liberty, and
have steadfastly resisted every at
tempted encroachment by those well
meaning but misguided people who
would legislate it out OF existence on
the curious argument that the sin of
drinking, when diluted with the
harmless and necessary pastime of
eating, should become a crime.
The free lunch is indicated. 1t
has been invoked in the sacred cause
of peace, and has served q noble pur-
pose, 1t has brought warning en-
Pires together. it has aided in the
reconciliation of hostile races. It has
pointed out the place where East and
West might meet and look each other
in the eye, and between bites of their
sandwiches and olives agree that
maybe they were all wrong in the
first place.
For East Is East. and West Is West,
Ind never the twain shall meet,
wrote Kipling. He was mistaken.
The free lunch brought them to-
gether. All hail the free lunch; and
please don't hail it as the buffet col
lation Let it be preserved in all the
simple charm and charming simplicity
that recommended it to the arbiters
OF empire.

Executioners' Salaries.

Lei US suppose now that the thirty
criminals should be sent to prison in
stead-it would cost the State only
1890 francs a year to support them
Should none OF the thirty men die be
fore ten years (which is not likely to
happen) it would only cost the treasury
1o8.630 francs 10 keep them, or $500
francs less than their execution would
cost.
Death penalty. therefore, is not more
convenient to the national treasury Of
a country than it is 20 the morals of the

Your memorialist, the legislature OF

concern, represents to the congress Of
the United States the manifestevil Of

This is about the same amount appro-
priated two years ago. In addition to
the general appropriations, there have
have been special appropriations made
that will raise the total amount appro-
rated to over $5000,000. This seems
like good deal of money for the few
