QUIT LINGERING Ii

1t would be a happy circumstance
were a single session of the legislature
to pass without a lot Of tinkering at the
law relating to the death penalty.
There is no field for legislation in
which sentiment so completely over
rides judgment as this. People have all
kinds of opinions about the admins
tration of the death penalty. They
honestly hold them under a crude kind
of conscientious conviction, and try to
force them upon others on what they
consider abstract and ethical grounds.
with little or no regard for practical
consequences. So the state senate has
passed with little dissent a bill giving
the jury discretion to prescribe i'm
prisonment for life instead of the death
penalty, where the verdict is guilty of
murder in the first degree, and leaving
the penalty In the second degree prac-
tically up in the air.
Now the moving impulse of such a
measure seems to be rather that brood
ing notion about the sacredness of hu-
man life. even a mlrderer's life, which
is so unfortunate an element in the
creation and administration of law. It
denies TO public authority the right to
apply the death penalty, or limits and
c;rcumscribes it without due considera-
ton of the effect of such action upon
individual character and upon the for
tunes of the state. 1t is legislative
sentimentaiism and we ought TO get
rid OF it.
In this realm Of the abstractionist
proof is difficult; but it certainly is the
general opinion that the relaxation and
modification Of penalties for the crime
of murder are hurtful rather than
helpful in effect. They tend on the
whole to the increase of this awful
crime. To save the worthless necks of
men, themselves SO unfit to live In q
civilized state as to take human life by
their own hands, il assures a growing
and bloody loss OF Innocent victims. It

New York Democrats at War

Under ordinary conditions Mayor
Mcclellan of New York would have an
excellent chance of being renominated
and reelected this fall, but a factional
night In the Democratic party makes
1t impossible that a Republican will
win at the polls. The trouble, as of
old, is over McCarren of Brooklyn. He
still trains with the -Parker-Bel-
mont crowd, and to this coterie of
would be leaders Mr.. Murphy of Tam
many Is intensely antagonistic. His
attempt some time ago to GUST Nc
Carren from the Democratic leader
snip In Brooklyn was unsuccessful, but
ne Is determined to remove him this
year, being anxious that Mcclellan
shall be renominated without a dis
senting vote in the municipal conven-
uon. He also aims at control of the
state machine, and can probably Sc
cure this if he wins Brooklyn away
from McCarren, who is supposed to be
ready to sacrifice Mcclellan by indoors
ing an independent Democratic candi-
date for mayor.-Providence Or. ID

WHY MUST THEY BE COMPELLED

There is curious revelation of public
Inconsistency in bill progressed In the
| legislature requiring district assemblies
to be brought together to discuss pros
bill would require local authorities in
| each election district to call public
meetings to consider measures sub
mitted to the legislature, proposed con-
| stitutional and charter amendments
and all other questions of public inter-
est. The details by which the scheme
is to be carried out do not matter.
Now the idea and the burden of this
is admirable, but the compelling power
OF the Legislature neither can nor
should have anything to do with it.
What is proposed in this bill is what
! all good citizens ought to do of their
own motion. 1t is what they used to
do in the earlier history of this coun-
try, In the New England town meeting.
Because they did it then they had bet
ter government than we have now.
Human nature is not greatly changed,
but we have grown politically lazy.
We want somebody else to do our
thinking for us. somebody else to be-
long to city councils and state legisla-
lures and do our work there for us.
leaving us free simply to sit down and
kick.
The business of government cannot
be conducted without the interested
personal participation of all the peo-
pie; not merely in election, but in every
governmental act, any more than a
railroad company or dry goods store
can run itself. If the scheme of things
laid down in the bill referred to were
carried out, nine-tenths of our public
abuses would vanish, nine-t enths of
the corrupt men would disappear from
public life, and we should have about
one-tenth the legislation that we do
now. and that one-tenth would be ten
times better and wiser than the laws
we get.
But you can't do it by legislation 1t
ought to be done everywhere willingly,
eagerly, joyously by the voluntary ac-
ton of men to whom citizenship means
the privilege Of service as well as the
privilege of protection. When we get
that kind of citizenship we will get
that kind of government Until then
we shall be the prey of every selfish in
terest, as we deserve to be. The ideal
laid down in the bill is a right ideal.
The attempt to impose it on men by
statutory enactment is exactly on par
with passing law requiring every man
to be honest industrious, frugal, tenn
perate and just

Outcome of Labor Strikes

The strike of the men operating the
street railways in New York city will
cause a good many people to wonder
what viii be the outcome of the labor
strikes in this country. There is just
one feature about these strikes that
VIII be liable in the outcome to change
present conditions, and that is the in
terest OF the public in them. 1t has
come to pass that every strike seems
TO nave for its object the punishment
or the public. Every sympathetic
strike is ordered on this theory. Dur
ing the strike of the street car opera
tlves in New York the business men
stopped at the hotels rather than take
the chances of reaching their homes
on the street cars. In every one of
such strikes the remedy of municipal
and government ownership of public
utilities is uggested.-Wichita (Kan.)
