THE GIRL AND THE LAW.

= 1t was horrible stery=t =teld in a New York
court by Josephine Terranova, charged with mur-
der
Her recital of debasement and revolving cruelty
forced upon her by those into whose care she had
happened to come was one of the sideghts that
show to the public the life of degeneracy lived by
q certain class.
There is no word in the English language. or
any other that express the condition of affairs
surrounding the Terranova girl and how she was
forced to engage in monstrous practices but there
is one word that certainly applies to those who
were instrumental in her debauchery and that
word is beast"
What the result of it all?
After Josephine Terranova awoke to sense
of her debasement of the fact that she had been
the victim of unspeakable veness, and when the
consequences dawned upon her, the desire to be
revenged for her wrongs fired her soul and she vo-
lated the law of the land and committed murder.
Some tell us that the world is growing better
that society is being inwardly moved to higher
plane of morality; and it may be So Yet, cases
such that of the Terranova girl tend 10 shatter
hope as to moral safety.
Josephine Terranova took human life with
presentation and in doing she violated the law
From a legal standpoint her own life should pay
the forfeit; but in the minds of men there are cir
cumstances that appear to conquer and go beyond

THE INDEPENDENTS DUTY.

Those who have the interest of the state at
heart must give attention to the simpler or more
ordinary things that are connected with the con
duct of its affairs.
In time of war there has never been a lack Of
men brave enough to defend the flag to the last
extremity. There is an enthusiasm in great and
unusual deeds that renders them easy TO do when
the emergency is great; but in the ordinary days
and amid surroundings that not very inspiring
not less important duties devolve upon the good
citizen.
The Rhode Island citizen at the present time
has duties to perform that are not of the perfume
tory kind; and his enthusiasm should make the
task really inspiring. If he is independent in his
political IDEAS and believes that only by keeping
proper balance between political parties and poll
ticians good government be secured, he must
be greatly interested in the reform measures that
the Democratic party long has advocated
Chief of these is the establishment of repre-
sentative government in this state. How can an
independent exercise the influence that he believes
so necessary TO the securing of the best govern
ment If the state constitution is permitted to remain
unchanged? If the small towns, too often con-
troed by corrupt and almost omnipotent rings,
which place the veto upon good legislation, not
through an eleCteu executive, Dut through a party
boss are TO remain the potent factors they now
are how can the independent voters in the cities
and larger towns ever secure reasonable changes
in the laws?
The Republican machine, solidly entrenched
as il in the last legislature, could find no time
to consider even the very homeopathic dose of re-
form that Governor Utter suggested.
Through the influence OF honest Republicans in
the large cities and towns, it seems now as If the
machine would be forced to renominate the present
chief executive. Yet if he were again elected the
same machine would be powerful enough through
the unjustihable power of the small towns in the
general assembly to stfe any measure of consttu-
tional reform or any attempt to give the veto
power to the governor The Boss will not let his
prerogatve of veto or his privilege of initiative be
interfered with by one who is elected by the plain
ordinary mechanics tradesmen and manufacturers
of this state.
1t would seem, therefore, that until such
change is made will enable the independent voter
to become real factor in the affairs OF the state
his duty is to support the policies of the Demo
cratic party in far they relate TO state affairs
There is every reason to believe that in the
coming contests thousands Of this class of voters
will do SO.
