EXECUTION FOR WOMEN.

The Pennsylvania State Board
of Pardons last wednesday refused
10 grant Communication of the death
sentence imposed upon Mrs. Kate
Edwards for the murder of her
husband.
Great pressure had been brought
to bear upon the pardon board,
and a petition signed by 100000
people was presented by Mrs. Anna
Fitch, of Cleveland.
The fact of the matter is that
Mrs. Edwards killed her husband
in cold blood. in order that she
might be free to continue illicit
relations with Samuel Greason, a
negro.
y matter entirely beyond our
understanding is how and why any
person, much less white women.
could exert themselves i'm such a
case.
But laying aside, all the circum-
stances in the Edwards case, we
fail to see any sane or sensible
reason for attempting 20 admins
ter the same law differently-one
way for men, and another for
women. If a woman commits a
wilful and deliberate murder. why
should she be given a sentence of
life Imprisonment, or freedom,
when man would be executed for
the same identical crime,
If a woman Is sufficiently low or
debased TO commit 4 crime, she Is
not a fit person to be at large in
the community.
Crimes are committed every day
by women, and, when brought to
trial. they put up their cry for
mercy for the weaker vessel"
If the women are to be released
from paying the price of their
crimes, our laws should be so
amended that no member of the
weaker sex" can be prosecuted.
y great deal of valuable time will
be saved (the Edwards case con-
sumed more than two years., and
incidentally, much money.
The women are entitled to every
respect and honor that men can
give them; but when they have
violated the law, let them stand on
an equal footing with and take
their medicine like a man."

BRYAN NOT DEAD.

At the Ohio Democratic Con
vention last Wednesday, the great
est demonstration of the meeting
was caused by a speech by Chair
man Daugherty in which he lauded
William Jennings Bryan as the
National party leader.
Other speakers also mentioned
Mr.. Bryan, and each time there
was vociferous and long-continued
applause.
The feeling of Democrats in
Ohio for the peerless leader is no
stronger than it is in Virginia. and
the people have Just as warm =
place in their hearts for him now
as they had in 1896 and 1900.
If Mr.. Bryan was nominated ON
the Democratic ticket today he
would receive a larger vote in Vir-
glnla than he did in either of his
previous campaigns.
The Parker Belmont-Gold syndi-
cate (of which Mr.. Martin was a
chief groom to the contrary not
outstanding.
We haven't forgotten their boast
that Mr.. Bryan was dead, and that
he would be buried at the St. Louis
convention.
Parker's defeat shows where
they were at, " and the Ohio con-
vention shows the feeling for Mr..
Bryan.

CONE TO HEAR MONTAGUE.

There are several reasons why
everyvoterin Clarke county should
come to Berryville on Saturday
and hear the address of Hon. \. J..
Montague at the Courthouse.
The principal reason Is that Mr.
Montague Is a candidate for United
States observation-disclosures
Mr.. Martin. who has held the posi-
tion for more than ten years.
The second reason is that YOU
are for the first time privileged to
nominate your candidates by the
primary system, for which Mr..
Montague has faithfully worked
for many years.
The third reason is that Mr..
Martins record is open to criti-
cism, and every voter Zoe he Mon
tague o. Martin adherenO should
hear what Mr.. Montague has to
say about his opponents record in
public life.
The fourth reason is that the
Senatorship is the highest Gift in
the power of the Virginia voters.
and YOU should hear and weigh
carefully the claims and ability of
this candidate.
There are many other reasons.
which will suggest themselves 10
the voters, but we think we have
given enough.
incidentally, the voters will have
chance to become personally ac-
quainted with Mr.. Montague. q
pleasure which has thus far been
denied them by the present Senator.
You can form better opinion
of man by meeting him person
ally, than you can by reading
newspaper articles or letters about
him.
Therefore, come out and hear
Montague.

TRAINED PORESTRRS In DEMAND.

The demand for foresters is in
creasing rapidly both for State
work and with private owners.
Many States now have forest COM
missions, and several of them have
state foresters. A trained forester
at 81 400 year and two assistant
foresters at 81, 200 each are wanted
by California. Wisconsin wants
an assistant forester at $1,000.
Indiana forester to take charge
OF Its State reserve, and Wash
ngton offers 81, 800 a year for
a trained forester. In many other
States the advisability of Great
ing the Office of State forester
has been under discussion this year.
and it is only matter of a few
years when such an official will be
considered a regular part of an
efficient State government.
The demand for foresters bv
private timber owners is growing
at still more rapid rate. During
the last twelve months z of the
Bureau OF Forestry force have left
to take up work with such owners.
and have accepted public posi-
tons-two with Massachusetts, one
with Connecticut, and the fourth
with Ontario, Canada. A number
OF other requests from private
owners cannot be met because men
are not available. The year before
there were less than half as MANY
Applications for trained men. But
the demand for trained specialists
in this line has only begun.
