LET THE LAW PREVAIL.

A Missouri jury, after careful trial,
has found Mrs. Maggie Myers of Kan.
sas City guilty of the murder of her
husband. Unless Governor Folk inter.
feres the woman will be hanged. If
there is any justice in capital punish.
ment it is certainly eminently proper
that the sentence Of the court be car.
ried out in Mrs Myers case.
The matter recalls the case Of the
Vermont woman, Mrs. Rogers, sen.
fenced to death last year but reprieved
at the last hour, in response to petit.
lions from people all over the United
States, whose feelings revolted at the
idea of hanging woman In Missouri
as we'll as the Vermont case there was
no doubt of guilt, in both cases the
woman killed her husband after con-
spring with her paramount to induce
him TO commit the murder, and in both
cases the paramour furnished the con
victing testimony. The supreme court
of Vermont refused retrial and Mrs,
Rogers is sentenced to be hanged this
month, the legislature having refused
to commute her sentence.
AS described by the guilty paramour,
Hoffman, the murder of Myers was
one of the blacklist and most inhuman
of crimes. Myers had been kind and
indulgent husband, by the testimony
of all the neighbors and by the admis.
sion of his wife. According to Holt
mans testimony, the woman induced
him to commit the crime, let him into
the house at night and in the deadly
scufiie that occurred between the two

men she got her husbands razor and
succeeded in cutting his throat.
The law should be allowed to take
us course, ana snould not beprevented
from doing so by so-called sympathy
which is really mawkish Sentiment,
There are cases where SYMPATHY may
be rightfully bestowed, but when a
man or woman so far forgets the
laws of God and man, the vows of the
marriage altar and the duty each
OF us owes to humanity and
society, as to commit a. crime
like that of which Mrs. Myers
has been legally convicted, there is no
room, no place, for sympathy. 1t is a
mistaken and misplaced chivalry that
would save human tigress from the
gallows. The law, as we'll as woman
kind, is entitled to respect.

THE PACE THAT kIlIs

Despite the fact that New York men
have the reputation of transacting
their business in a much more bust.
ness-like and systematic manner than
Chicagoans, figures show that the PEG.
pie of the eastern metropolis are suf.
fering the results of travel at "the
pace that kills." A correspondent
writing from New York to middle
western paper says:
American hustle and its compan-
ion, the quick lunch counter, twin
agents of destruction, according to the
physicians, are increasing New York S
death rate alarmingly. Strain of bust
ness. the cares attendant upon fierce
competition in the financial center of
the nation and the worry due to the
typical New Workers. fixed purpose to
gain wealth are taking toll in human
lives that is increasing rapidly.
Recent mortuary statistics are con-
sidered startling by authorities on the
subject. Figures show that between
1868 and the end of 1904 the death
rate from heart disease and Bright
disease increased from 1906 to 1852
per 10,CJU population. In comparison
with 1903. there was an increase in
deaths in 1904 from these diseases of
PAP in each 10000
"a comparison still more alarming
is found in the fact that 1875 persons
died last week from organic heart dis
ease, when the death rate the cores
ponding week in 1904 was only fifty.
six.
physicians declare these figures
prove beyond doubt that residents
of New York are living too rapid lives
Some of them say that one person in
a hundred examined has organic heart
trouble and that the other ninety-nine
have stomach affections, the latter due
to too rapid eating.
Scientists have established the fact
that the nerve forces which control
both the stomach and the heart are
affected by the hurry Of men in the
daily scramble to bolt their food in
order quickly to resume their exciting
careers. Many young men now sue.
cumb to the complaint where fifty
years ago case was rare when a per.
son less than 80 years, unless bothered
by a hereditary complaint, died from
heart disease"
The situation is indeed a serious
one and it is time for the farmer boy
to pat himself on the back when he
realizes how far he is from New York
and It's hurry. There is no doubt that
the world of today is being rushed along
much faster than the pace that was
considered good enough few genera
tions ago. Deals that would have
startled nation then are every day
counter affairs now, and when really
big transaction is consummated now
adays it makes fortunes that could
not have been amassed in those old
days in twice the span of even those
longer lives. Though the business
man of the present day is facing early
death he faces it unflinchingly, good
deal in the spirit of the happy GO
lucky westerner who quaffs his liquor
in long draughts and has for his guild
ing motto, "a short life and merry
one" 1t is the penalty they pay for
living in this hurley-burley age, and
it is doubtful if they would try rem
edy If it were pointed out, for it would
mean slackening of the tension UNI

KILLING OFF WILLIE.

Chicago Inter ocean.-This is the
time of the year when Hon.
Carter H. Harrison gets up
in the early morn, blows a blast
on his bugle horn, gathers his
cohorts all unshorn, and with the air
of the sportsman born, sallies forth
upon his annual hunt for the scalp
of the Hon. William Randolph Heart.
Killing off Willie has been favorite
rastime of the Hon. Carter H. for a
number of years. The chase has ever
been holly maintained, and the inter-
esting and ambitious young journalist
Of San Francisco, New York, Chicago,
Boston, Los Angeles, and, perhaps,
other places, has had more than one
run for his life. But somehow he has
always managed to throw off his pur-
suers at the close Of the day. and as
the eventide has settled upon the land
scape, he has been found In all his old
haunts editing the latest Oriental
cablegrams, received via Hoboken, or
painting red letters foot high on his
front pages.
1t is no easy matter to kill off Will
lie, as Carter Harrison, we are sure,
would be frank enough to admit In
private conversation. The ordinary
political argument, even when sup
ported by local prejudice, falls fiat In
the presence of an aurora borealis,
fringed with. visions in purple and
yellow by Beatrice Fairfax, Ella
Wheeler Wilcox and the Rev. Mr.
Gregory. The plain people are fond of
color, and Willie gives it to them.
We cannot believe, therefore, that
he will be killed off in this years hunt
or in any hunt that Carter H. may or
ganIze against him. Aside from every
other consideration, we need some
thing in this cold. money making. sell
fish community that will take us away
from ourselves make US feel
now and then that we have been pas

The dispatch regarding the assas-
sination of the Grecian premier by a
gambler was incomplete and leaves
the reader in doubt. Was he dealing
from the bottom; did he stop the
wheel with his hand, did he hold out
three aces, or did he simply get cold
feet when the gambler aforesaid was
in the hole up to his ears?
