IS
BEING ADVOCATED
State Senator Springer Would
Introduce a Substitute for
Hanging.
A SUBJECT OF INTEREST
tai PUNISHMENT, AND SPRING.
ER'S MEASURE SHOULD CAUSE
GRUESoME SCENES.

With Representative Gus Condo, of
Marion, talking on the inhumanity of
legal hangings, and Senator W. T..
Springer, of Elizabethtown, expound-
ing the comparative merits OF electro
cution, there should be enough grue-
some moments in the 1907 session of
the Indiana General Assembly
Everybody has known Condos OPP
position to capital punishment, but
Senator Springer's advocacy Of elect
rocution as a substitute is new. He
had nothing to say on the subject
last session, but has prepared his bill
since, or else had it then and was too
busy heading off private banking leg
islation to start a movement toward
the electric chair.
1T is the present-day method he
said. Our Indiana practice of hang
ing is a relic to earliest times. Ger
tainly it cannot be denied that elect
rocution is more humane than hang
ing. The most advanced States In
the Union are now adopting 1t, and
Indiana should do the same
Representatives Condo and Spring
er gave travelling men in the English
Hotel lobby hint of what day in
the Indiana Legislature sounds like,
for moment or two last night, when
they tried to get together on their
dissimilar propositions. They could
start on the identical premise that
hanging is barbaric, but could never
get together on the same path Elec-
trocution as substitute was worse,
as he had pictures of charred and
shriveled corpseS to prove. Condo
declared in the mild voice he used
when addressing the entire popula-
ton of the Madison Soldiers Home.
Adjustment OF capital punishment
was as ridiculous as it was unfair to
1aw-abiding people, averred Springer.
with all the ferver of man who
knows his rights
1t was great while it lasted, but
Baron Rothchild, self selected Speak
er of the occasion, said something
and the session adjourned.
Condo will doubtless create a great
deal of interest in his bill this term.
He said he expected to ask Mayor
Brand Whitlock, of Toledo, to speak
before the committees of the House
and Senate, if convenient. White
lock is one of the best Known advoca-
ties of the adjustment If capital pun
ishment in the countr.N He endeav-
ored, unsuccessfully, to have the
Ohio Legislature enact law OF that
character last winter.
Springer says he will work for a
high liquor license law, and favors
an increase from 500 to $1,000 for
county licenses. He believes it Will
decrease the drinking and the crime
in rural districts if nowhere else.

who neveI' said that men are useless
after they are forty, and that they

John l.. recently wrote DIR. Osler
that he would agree to put his INST

Tonopah, New, Dec. 27.-Joe Cans
is down TO 1873 pounds. The announ-
cement was followed by big plunge
of the dusky champion today. The
Gansites had been holding thousands
fdollars which they evidently
thought il time TO put up at once.
The Herman men took it too, gener-
ally at odds of to l.
Herman is not at all discouraged.
Now that he is sure, he says that he
will not have to meet Cans above
than before.
Cans weighed in public for the first
time today. He invited the newspa-
per men into his training quarters,
stepped on the scales and asked one
of the reporters to adjust the weights
He tipped the beam at a trifle under
1891 pounds. The extra ounces he
can rub off in half an hour.
Herman's superb condition has
gladdened the hearts of his hackers
and many of them are of the opinion
that in the Chicago boy Cans will
meet one who wis test all his ring
generalship and will fight him to
standstill On the other hand the
champions admirers claim that Her.
man has never met a fighter of Cans
calibre and they look for the Balti-
more boy to polish off his man in
short order.
While Herman has a strong follow
ing, Cans is undoubtedly the favorite
with the big bettors. His record is
much better than Hermans and the
Wiz bettors are laying to I that
the negro will retain the champion
ship.

Large families, resulting from in

raised for the street and the State.
I'VE cannot change human nature
We have the childless home among
the rich and the homeless child among
the moor. Modern individualism has
the right to govern its own domestic
affairs. Some prefer quality to
quantity; others are fanatics on pro-

Real race suicide is the growth
of child slavery caused by parent
hood that raises children as human
commodities and whose ambition is
production instead of education.

Washington, Dec. 27-The bitter

the Interior against the re-appoint-
ment of District Attorney Burke OF
Wyoming may eventually have de-
cided bearing upon the negro troops
case, which Senator Foraker is open
ly pressing. much to the embarrass-

Senator Warren of Wyoming is
standing firmly for Burke. He de-
clares that the district attorney is an
old friend of his and he laughs at the
charges made by the Interior Depart
ment that Burke has been persls-
tently neglectful of his duty regard
ing prosecutions and investigations
of irregularities in connection with
public lands within his jurisdiction.
Senator Warren is the chairman OF
the Senate Committee on Military Al
fairs. of which Senator Foraker is al
so a member and which the latter is
trying to have investigate the legality
of the Presidents recent dismissal OF
negro troops. The Wyoming Senator
has been a stout defender of the adj
ministration upon the floor and In
committee. The recent coupling OF
his name with the gigantic land
frauds which the Interior Department
charges have been practiced in wy
oming and other western states. has
greatly nettled the senator.
