The methods employed by the canal

completely. The change is humane, for
these reasons alone.
The chief objection to the Wakelee bill
as at first introduced was that it required
all capital criminals to be executed at the
State prison Trenton objected to this
uneviable notoriety and succeeded in
having the provision stricken out but
under the amended bill, all the sheriffs of
all counties will be relieved of the neces-
sity of taking the lives of convicted MUIR
derers. The Office win thus be relieved
of one of its most objectionable features,
and one which has prevented many good
but sympathetic men from accepting NOM
ination for this position of public duty.
The act does not go into effect until Jan
uary /, 1907, but as three of the convic
ted murderers in this State were hanged
last week, Mrs. Valentino is the only
one left under sentence of death AS
there Is reason to hope that her sentence

there will be no more hanging in New

There will probably be no xnore legal
hangings in the State of New Jersey. The
death penalty will still be inflicted on
criminals convicted of murder in the first
degree, hut the means by which the muir
derer's life is legally taken will be cleo

Wakelee's bill to this end passed the AS
sembly Wednesday. having been approv-
ed by the Senate some time ago. says the
Newark Evening News. !, That it will
receive the Governors signature there is
no reason to doubt. The new lay pro-
vides that all executions shall take place
in building to be provided for that pur-
pose by the State. The location has not
yet been selected.
In adopting this method of executing
capital criminals. New Jersey follows the
example set by New York many years
ago and approved since then by several
other States. The two chief reasons for
the change are. to relieve the sheriffs Of
a most disagreeable duty and TO infiict
the death penalty in the quickest and
most painless manner possible. Whether
hanging man, even under the most
skilful manipulation, is extremely painful
CT not, can never be conclusiyely deter
mined, but when the process is bungled
and death ensues from prolonged strang-
uiation there are many reasors for be-
lieSing that it is accompanied by intense
torture.
There can be no such question raised
with reference to execution by eeetrsctv.

stop one set Of vital organs and allow
Others to gradually cease action; it snuffs
ont all consciousness and brings all viinl

Owners Of automobiles are an average
of humanity in their feelings and their
conduct, and it is 'up to' the majority
of them to compel decent behavior in the
minority. Among the thousands of driv-
ers in this city there are few that vio-
late the law or try to escape it's conse-
quenees when they do so. unwittingly;
but now and again We have a show of
brutality and cowardice that almost JUS
tiies the public hostility to all automo-
biles. Such an exhibition was made in
New Rochelle on Sunday. Astouring car
went whirlng through that town with a
party of four and bowled over two
women killing one of them and fatally
injuring the other, but kept up its thirty
mile gait knocked over wagon, and
escaped in the direction of New York.
A crowd of angry people followed it as
far as they could. but succeeded only in
taking its nlimber-which is changed.
however, by a chauffeur when he steals
the use of his employers wagon to take
his friends a-riding.
This IL but one of several accidents
that might truly be called murders. In
some instances the tourists have made
derisive answers when called to stop
and have driven on the faster. and
strangely, it is the women in these auto
mobiles who have shown the most in
difference to the injury they have caused.
Theses mishaps call for stricter obsery-
ance of the speed laws; but they also
call for repressive action on the part
of the automobile owners themselves.
The well-to-do need to create sentiment
which cannot be dehed with any more
safety by the occasional and lawlees
driver than by the Italians on the East
Side who stone automobiles in the
streets. We might penalize failure to
stop, after an accident, to greater de-
gree than we penalize speed. but, the
surer way is to create better moral
sense among those automobile owners
who fancy that they are of privileged
class, 50 that every violator of law and
public convenience will be made to real
ize that he is under apprehension of his
own class as wen as of the public.
