Another Neck Saved.

Governor Hanly has again taken the
administration Of the law into his own
hands and committed the sentence Of
the murderer, William Spores, who was
10 have been hanged Monday at the
Michigan City prison, to life imprison-
ment. The governor based his reprieve
on the ground that Spores was be-
low the average in intelligence and
that he had been convicted by a pick
up" jury. the members of which had
not been closely questioned as to their
opinion Of the case. Spores crime was
an especially atrOcious one and there
was no doubt of his guilt. His victim
Douglas Fawbush, had volunteered to
take him from Scottsburg, Ind, to his
home in the country, a few days later
Fawbush's dead body was found hor-
ribly mutilated and a bloody ak lying
near it, showing how the murder had
been accomplished. Spores fed with
his victims team which he later aban-
doned IN Crawford county. and was fin
ally captured in the far west. Faw-
bush left a young wife in poor circum-
tances and feeling ran high against
the murderer in Scott county and for a
time after his capture he was confin-
ed in the Jacksonville reformatory for
safe keeping. Judging by the facts in
this case there is little doubt but what
executive clemency win be extended to
the two Lake county murderers. Lapi-
dat and Stathacoupolos, who are I'M
der sentence to hang March 30, and if
this is done, there is little use of Lake
county indulging in any more long
winded. expensive murder trials. Bet
ter turn them over to the governor
direct and let him pass sentence

THE BILL to prohibit shaving and
hair cutting on Sunday has become a
law with Governor Hanly's approval
This law, If enforced, will close bar
Der shops on the day Of worship and
the citizen whose beard is of a lusty
and rapid growth and who has not
cultivated the art of tanning his own
leather, viii have to so hairy to church.
However, If anybody who considers
the deprivation of the bought shave
on the Lords day enough of a hard
ship to go to law about it it is more
than an even chance that he can have
the law knocked out. Several years
ago a similar law was passed in uli-
nois at the request OF what was
thought to be a working majority of
the working BARRIERS. The law was
attacked in the courts by the pro-
prietors of hotel barber shops whose
Sunday business was worth protecting
and 1t was declared unconstitutional.

The modern novel. according to a
writer in the Bystander. is directed
mainly toward the abuse of the in
stitution of matrimony. Whereas the
old-fashioned novelist invariably rang
down the curtain on happy marriage,
the writer of the day rings it UP on an
unhappy one, and the reader enters a
world of ineompatibility, infdelity, en-
Wy, hatred and malice. Love is only
sweet when it is Illicit; solemnized, it
is sour" To the mind of this writer
the outspoken woes of wedlock and
the sweets Of correspondence are only
made bearable when treated with hui
NOR and not laden with purpose.

The mayor ought to be ashamed to
boast of exacting pay for sidewalk

city has no right to sell, lease or give
away the sidewalks and that this COM

a trick to make a thing which is IL
legal and dishonest appear legal and
honest.-Chicago Chronicle.

WITH THE AUTHORS

It is interesting to note how closely
Mark Twain's book written in 1908, but
only recently published, comedies with
the account of Christian Science now
appearing in McClure's magazine The
February installment tntimates that
Mrs. Eddy derived her idea from the
teachings of Phineas Quimby. who
healed her Of what she thought was
a mortal disease and who wrote a
book concerning his system, which Mrs.
Eddy spent much time in writing and
copying. Mark Twain believes that
Mrs Eddy has been claiming as her
cwn another persons book" and that
the only reason the other person has
not protested is because his work
was not exposed to print until after
he was safely dead" AS to the prob
able author, although the name of
Quimby is referred to as the author
CT a system which he called Christian
Science Mark Twain points out the
lack of the most important detail in
establishing the true authorship in say
ing. The Quimby manuscript has not
been produced"

Longfellow's "Evangeline" appears to
be the most popular long poem in our
literature. It is read every year by
hundreds of thousands of Americans
and the Canadian school children.
Grand Pre-. ION the shore OF the Basin
OF Minas." is visited every season by
throngs of eager tourists. And yet, ac-
cording to Professor Archibald Mac
Maehan's article in the February At
lantic on "Evangeline and the Real
Acadians." the story CT the Acadians
as Longfellow recounts it is not borne
out by the facts of history. Military
necessity compelled their removal, for
they were a menace to England's au-
thcrity in Canada; and it was New
England rather than the mother coun-
try that was directly responsible for
the act and Boston ships conveyed the
Acadians away from their homes.

A remarkable series of letters writ
ten by William and Dorothy Words
worth to Samuel Taylor Coleridge be-
tween Christmas. 1899. and May 1907,
have been sent recently to William
Knight and will appear in an appendix
to volume three of the Letters of the
Wordsworth Family" now in process
of publication. The letters disclose
many little interesting things which
occurred within the little cottage at
Grassmere-that home of plain living
and high thinking" They tell of the
people of the district, the walks in the
valley, the expeditions to more distant
places. the close friendship of the
poets. To lovers of literature the most
interesting features Will be the inter
probation by it's author of the meaning
which underlies The White Doe of
Keystone" and the letter in which
Wordsworth explains to Coleridge how
he meant to rearrange his poems in
their next issue.
