The Billik case in Chicago like every
other capital case in which doubt of
the guilt Of the defendant is entertain
ed by some sections of the community,
has led to suggestions that the death
penalty ought to be abolished. We are
told that 1t does not operate as deter
rent, that it Is repugnant to civilized
sentiments and that It is a relic of
barbarism. A committee Of the New
Jersey Legislature recently completed
an investigation Of this subject and
submitted an interesting report. Its
main conclusion is that 1t would not be
wise to do away entirely with capital
punishment, and that In cases Of re-
voting and heinous crimes 1t is proper
to impose 1t. The committees investi-
cations IN Europe disclosed the follow
ing facts and opinions: England
Uncertainty Of conviction is stimulus
to capital crime. Holland-No death
penalty since 1870. Sweden-None
since 1854 Finland-None since 1924
Italy-Disuse Of death penalty follow
ed by diminution Of capital offenses.
Belgium-Death penalty abolished in
1858. France-Recent increase In crime
has caused agitation for restoration of
capital punishment" In this country
but few States have abolished the death
penalty, and there is, according to the
committee, less agitation against 1t
than there was years ago. The States
which have kept the penalty and are
now practically free from agitation to
abolish it are numerous. The list in
cludes Illinois, Ohio, Virginia, Mary
land and Wyoming. In some States
there is agitation, but it only tends to
develop strong opposition to the pro-
posed change. On the other hand, the
States that have abandoned the death
penalty do not seem to regret their ac-
ton. Maine and Wisconsin get along
without 1t and report no increase in
capital crime In Indiana the statute
for the extreme punishment Is a dead
letter, and no bad effects are traced
to the suspension. 1t is probable that
the foes Of capital punishment would
meet with more encouragement If the
pardoning power were not abused as
often as it is, II habitual criminals
were indefinitely detained and segre-
gated, and If the whole administration
Of justice were flrmer, more efficient
and more impressive.

ro-moRRow,s BIRTHPLACE.
Line In the Pacific Where II Shakes
Hands With Yesterday.

Line In the Pacific Where It Shakes
Hands With Yesterday.
Most people who have read Jules
Verne's Around the World In Eighty
Days" will remember how narrowly the
traveller missed his bet, having forgot
ten that in following the sun from east
to west he had gained one day.
When one crosses the Atlantic from
London to New York. he gains rather
more than half an hour each day.
From New York to Chicago another
hour is gained, another to Denver, an
other to San Francisco, which is reck-
oning time eight hours later than Lon
don and of course the best part Of
day later than Shanghai and Yokoha-
ma. In crossing the Pacific there
comes a time when the day begins,
where yesterday and tomorrow shake
hands and where the traveller is cheat
ed out Of day in his life.
In mid Pacifc, going west, one skips
from Sunday to Tuesday. Going east
he has one day Of the week repeated
two Sundays or Tuesdays, as the case
may be.
The line Of the changing day is not a
straight one. The islands IN the Pa
cif1c take their time from the continent
with which they trade and from which
they were discovered. Thus the line Of
the change zizzags down the Pacific
from south to north, lodging between
the islands.
Hence 1t might easily happen that
ship which has already skipped day
would reach an island which clings to
San Francisco time. In such case 1t
would be Monday on shore and Tues
day on the ship
If the ships jolly boat were lying at
a wharf, it would be Monday on the
wharf and Tuesday on the boat.
And If a person lives somewhere near
the line he can get sailboat and visit
yesterday and tomorrow in the most
delightful fashion.

'SThe Shoulders of Atlas" Mary e.
Wilkins Freeman's new story, is the
romance Of an unspoiled New York
girls love affair in a New England vii
lage. It is also an account Of the ex-
periences of an elderly New England
couple who inherit money so late in
life that they fairly miss the priva-
lions to which they have been accus-
toned and there Is a mystery which is
said to impart the flavor of detective
story.
Arthur Symonds, writing in the Sat
urday Review Of Mozart, whose biog-
raphy has Just been translated from
the French of Victor Wilder, says "Mo-
Fart was perfect not only In his art,
but in his life. Not a virtue, not a
grace was lacking. Music absorbed him
and consumed him, miraculous flame
always burning, so that at the age Of
he played the piano and at 8 COM
posed four minuets and an allegro for
1t. At IA he wrote down from mem
DRY Allegri's Miserere' after single
hearing Of 1t in the Pope's Chapel in
Rome. BY the age Of Is he had COM
posed 242 pieces"
T. P. O'Connor has brought out a
little biography Of Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman. The late prime minister
seems to have had his full share Of
the worlds good things, abundant
wealth, happy married life and final
success, though death came soon after
he had overridden the prejudices Of his
enemies Mr.. Shorter disagrees with
Mr.. O'Connor's statement that Sir Hen
ry Compbell- Zimmerman was a great
lover of books. His reading, accord
ing to Mr.. O'Connor, was all in the d.
rection of French fiction. To know
ones Balzac is itself an education, but
according to the English critic Sir Hen
ry was not a literary man In the sense
In which Mr.. Disraeli, Mr.. Gladstone,
Mr.. Balfour and Lord Rosebery may
be counted literary men.
Frederick Wicks' new novel, '"The
Unfortunate Duke" contains an inter-
millionaire" he says, "is more often the
product of accident than design. Just
as the accident Of birth may endow
a man with a peerage so the tentless
wanderer may by the accidental dis
covery Of a nugget, be transformed into
a Oroesus. The millionaire Of design
includes those whose natures from ado
lescence to the hour of a miserable
death are incapable of considering any
matter but in the light of profit and
loss, whose happiness centers in COM
pound interest, whose prayers are bar
gains and whose soul is written down
as an unrealiziblea asset. Among these is
the type that lives in the continuous
intoxication begotten Of reckless daring,
and who In the pursuit of wealth
weighs the bullet Of suicide against the
profits Of the stock jobber. The mill
ionaire of self-denial has not yet been
met with"

MERRY WIDOW FEET.
Must BE FOrty-twO Inches Wide to
Make the Figure Symmetrical.

Must BE FOrty-twO Inches Wide to
Make the Figure Symmetrical.
Merry Widow feet, the logical con-
comitants Of Merry Widow hats, seem
| curiously unwelcome. A pair Of such
feet, as of course you realize, would
be forty-two inches wide. e., the
same width as the hat, says the Bos-
ton Transcript.
Nevertheless, to demonstrate the ra-
tionality of the proposed arrangement,
one need only to appeal to the laws Of
physics and the ideas they have insert
ed into the mind. Will you not con-
cede that it Is difficult, If not impOS-
sible, to understand how a lady so
broad at the top and so narrow across
the feet contrives to keep her balance?
need hardly remind you that Sails
bury cathedral looks better as it is than
it would if turned upside down. And
were it actually inverted the eye would
at once demand that it be given some
standard or base to account for its not
topping over.
We resented the plans for the Prov
incetown tower not merely because
they called for a conical structure, but
also and chiefly because we couldn't
see how In creation the structure was
to keep it's footing. But when with JOY
we survey that most shapely of objects,
the champagne glass, a glow Of salts
faction (not wholly anticipatory)
makes glad our aesthetic sentiments.
Broad at the top, 1t is broad at the
bottom. It contents the eye while
soothing the mind. 1t is symmetrical,
artistic and altogether lovely.
So it has been by an easy path, after
all, that l have led you to an appreci-
alton Of Merry Widow feet. Now let
me urge that their normal, religious
and economic value will equal, If not
exceed, their pictorial worth. Many
are they who have their tempers ruin
ed by the Merry Widow hatpin; with
feet of proportionate width, the lady
would obtrude less lavishly upon ter
ritory not her own. Besides, the
church would take no small profit by
the clerical onslaught upon the inno-
walton; great spiritual uplift has re-
suited from sermons against big hats,
and fully as much may be looked for
from those against the newest thing In
feet. But we must not forget that
ours is an age Of materialism, in
which arguments in behalf Of each gen.
orally overtop pleas for more ethical
and devotional progress: Accordingly
1 would urge the augmentation of feet
as a relief for industrial and commerce
ial depression. With fine perspicacity

Tortoise That breads Rain.

The tortoise is not an animal one
would naturally fix upon as likely to
be afraid Of rain, but it is singularly
so. Twenty-four hours or more before
rain falls the Galapagos tortise makes
for some convenient shelter. On
bright, clear morning when not a cloud
iS to be seen the denizens Of tortoise
farm on the African coast may some
times be seen heading for the nearest
overhanglng rocks. When that harpens
the proprietor knows that rain will
come down during the day, and as a
rule, 1t comes down in torrents. The
sign never fails. This premonition, or
wha tever you may call 1t, which exists
In many birds and beasts, may be ex-
planned partly from the increasing
weight of the atmosphere when rain is
forming, partly by habits of living and
partly from the need of moisture,
which is shared by all.

Pretty Lively POOLING.

was out walking in Kingston, ia
maica, one afternoon, and while on a
narrow street l came upon two black
women, each apparently in a towering
rage. Each woman's tongue was 60
ing at a phenomenal rate, but not a
word Of their screening jargon was
ineligible to me.
Finally one Of the women scooped up
a double handful of the ever present
Kingston dust and flung it over the
other woman, with a wild shrek Of
laughter. The dust covered woman re-
taliated by taking a tin pan she had
In her hand and, scooping up a couple
Of quarts of the dirty water in the gut
ter by the roadside, drenching her as
sailant with it, while all that part OF
Kingston resounded with the mad
laughter. The two women then closed
in on each other and proceeded to en-
gage in a prolonged wrestle, which re-
suited in both of them falling to the
ground, where they rolled over and
over In cloud Of dust and finally stood
upon their feet, facing each other In a
state of dirt and disorder beyond de-
scription.
Fearing that they would make a sec
ond onslaught on each other and wish
ing to play the part of peacemaker, I
stepped forward and asked:
"What is the troubleT"
Courtesying low, one Of the women
said in a soft, drawing voice:

service-to the wage-earners az well
as to mankind at large. Fortunately
for all concerned, the desire to be clean
lies very deep in the noblest qualities
Of human nature. Wesley's famous say
ing, Cleanliness is next to godliness,"
may be traced back hundreds of years
to the wise teaching Of the Jewish rab-
bi, Phinehas ben Yair: "The doctrines
Of religion are resolved into careful
ness; carefulness into nervousness /;
nervousness into guiltlessness; guilt
lessness into abstemIousness; abstemi-
BUSINESS into cleanliness; cleanliness In

Scientifically considered, dirt is only
matter out of place, and, economically
considered, it is OF the utmost use to
civilization. What an easy life we
should have if there were no dirt ]"
said a lady to her washerwoman. "T
shouldn't, ma'am. 1 should starve," re-
piled Bridget, and she spoke for hun
dreds OF thousands OF women the world
over. 1t would be interesting to dis
cover how many hours Of wage-earning
work which may be called cleaning
including washing, ironing, scrubbing,
sweeping, busting, polishing, cleansing
are done in one day among our eighty
millions of people. A single institution
like the Boston PuoIic Library gives
twenty-five thousand hours Of work
each year to scrubwOmen alone. In
cities the work goes on day and night.
No sooner do sweeping and busting
stop I'm the homes of the town than
an army of women with pals and mops
invade the shops and offices, where they
fight with dirt literally from night till
morning. Busy as we are in America
trying to keep clean, Holland excels us

not only floors and windows and steps

Too Much TOiIing.

There are times have to hustle and get
out and use my muscle;
It's cinch because a Teller has to eat
An I've found few ways of gettin' what
want except by sweatin'.
For the games a-growin' mighty hard
to beat;
But it seems a shame this spoilin' all our
bright glad days by toilin'-
This exertin' through our life's allotted
span
As some people struggle through it. If I
have to, l will do it,
But I like to take it easy when I can.
When the boss is keepin' cases have got
to show my PAGES
Make a bluff at doin' somethin' for
my pay;
1 must keep the dirt a-fyin', though
find it mighty tryin',
For there doesn't seem to be no other
way.
But always feel like kickin' when I'm
shovelin' and pickin'
And I wish that there was somethin'
could plan
That would keep my back from strainin',
and no cussin' nor complainin',
For like to take it easy when 1 can.
It would be all right supposin' I could
Jest lie somwhere dozin'
And a-smokin' where bit Of sunshine
fell.
With no big-mouthed drIvin' bosses and
no other cares nor crosses
I believe I'd like to try it for spell.
If they'd bring the grub and feed it to q
teller when he'd need It
And stand by to keep the flies off with
a fan,
With no call for any motion, that would
be about my notion,
For l like to take it easy when I can.
