A half dozen affidavits were sub

against Henderson to the effect that
he had refused to bulletin delayed
trains, had provided no heat or light
for waiting passengers, and had
treated patrons of the road at that
point with discourtesy.
Mr.. Moon stated to the board that
he had never seen delayed train

passengers have in the waiting room
is the few small rays that penetrate
the window and doors leading from

Mr.. Henderson told about his rela
tons to the whisky traffic and his
views on hypocricy having started al
the trouble, and declared that he
treated the people of Hiram with al
the courtesy they deserved. Refer
ing to uncomfortable conditions in
the waiting room he said that to keeI
fire and water there would mean that
the road would have to furnish such
accommodations to all the loafers in
the town. He said that it was i'm
possible to keep the room clean, be-
cause of Hiram's "army of the I'M
employed" who sit in there and whit
tie sticks and tell stories most Of
the time. If it were always comfort
able and ice water were handy, he
said, there would be little room fol

Wishes Their Death.

w issues I/LELT DECLLL.
COMMISSIONER BINGHAM, Of New York City, was
recently quoted saying that there about forty
policemen on his force whom he wished would die.
This is rather strong language to use, notwthstand
ing the fact that the exgences of the may have
required it. Some of these mon have grown old in
the service and in their manhood served the people
loyalty; and now that they have become incapacitated
by old age, unfeeling superior expresses the wish
that the efficiency of the force would be improved by
their death. Such sentiments are unbecoming a
man occupying Chief Bingham's position. If he is
so brutality candid in speaking of the value of human
life, what can expect of half-crazed unemployed
person who imagines that the only way to right his
wrongs is by hurting bomb at the police.
The duties of the police are sometimes extremely
arduous and fraught with great danger. A police
man should not only be able to stone WALL but
to see beyond it. He should be robust and able to
take care of himself in making an arrest. If these
ncompetents unable to perform their duties they
should be asked to resign These value their
life just as highly does Mr.. Bingham. Perhaps
it would serve him right if he was reprimanded for
using such fppant language in speaking of his SUBJ
ordinates. He, too, will soon be old and feeble.
Surely he would not want any one to wish him dead
because he was inefficient. Perish the thought!

IDLE children have been successful, why not homes

The foregoing views very interesting, and
they point out the trend of modern thought in con-
nection with sooietys evildoers. If we could eimi-
public prejudice and the passion revenge
we would be much nearer solution of the problem
than are today. We need to delve more into the
cause and environment than the mere commission Of
the act. When this is done perhaps there will be
little occasion to society of being the
offender.

Death PenOZtY WrOnS.

Death Penalty Wrong.
SoCIETY's right to infct capital punishment has
frequently been questioned of late by many noted
persons connected with the judiciary, and by many
who do not belong to the BENCH In speaking of this
phase of the subject. Rabbi Abram Simon says:
Society has not done its full duty by pronoun-
cling judgment, and by its isolation of the criminal
minded. Society should have in mind two higher
ends, namely social defense and social probation
Societys life is at stake and the life of each ndvd
ual is in danger Society has all the means at hand
for social Defense and therefore, all the is the
injunction essential that it should not Judge the
neighbor until it knows him. his crime and the
dtions thereof. When society Furnishes in revenge
it plays the bully and the brute Suspended judg-
ment does not mean stupid or a vapid sentimental
ism, or a hysterical coddling of the criminal. But
such plan does contemplate carrying out of all
the ends of justice, so to save worse reaction
from it's miscarriage
"Men and women have been isolated only to
find themselves returned to society less able to par
ticpate in and enjoy the fruits of society Physic-
ally, they have been quarantined, only to scatter
moral contagion upon their remittance into social
life Prisoners have left behind their stripes only

A WEALTHY manufacturer in an Eastern city has
abandoned his pet hobby of treating his like
