'''Sin and Society" (Houghton,
Miffiin & Co., Boston). is Il volume
of essays by Edward A. Roth Prof. of
sociology in the University of Wis
consin, who attempts ''an analysis
of later day inquory." The essays are
preceded by a letter from President
Roosevelt, whose attention was call
ed by Justice Holmes to "Social
CONTROL" another book by the same
writer, and has since read these
essays on their occasional publ
cation. Says President Roosevelt:
"YOu define sin as conduct that
harms another, in contradistinction
to vice by which we mean prac.
tees that harm ones self; and you
attack as they should be attacked the
men who at the present day do more
harm to the body. polite by their
sining than all others. y = = You war
against the vast iniquities in modern
business, finance, politics, journal
ism, due to the inetiectiveness of
public opinion in coping with the
Edominant types of wrong doing in Il
huge rich highly complex industrial
civilization" President Roosevelt
and the author realize that the worst
evils we have to combat have in
evitably evolved along with the evo
luton of society itself, and that the
perspective of conduct must change
from age to age, so that our moral
judgement may be recast in order
more effectively to hold to account
the really dangerous foe of our pres
ent civilization. The six essays
deal with "neE varieties of SIM due
to our modern business and indus
trial organizations; "the grading of
Sinners" arguing that they should
be punished, according to their deeds
rather than according to their charac-
ter; the "criminaloid," by which the
author designates "such as prosper
by fagitious practices which have
not yet come under the effective
banda of public opiniGn," though
they may be guilty in the eyes of
the law; "the grilling of sinners;"
corporate SHINING by syndicate"
and the rules of the game.

A STRANGE SENTENCE.
Punishment For Murder That Was
More Cruel Than Death.

wore STuci nan OcdST.
In 1901 man died in the Catskills
who had been condemned by one of
the strangest sentences on record.
Ralph Sutherland was born in 110l and
lived In stone house near Leeds. He
was a man of violent temper and mo-
rose disposition, Stunned by his neigh
bors and generally disliked. Not be-
ing able to get an American servant.
he imported Scotchwoman, and, ae-
cording to the usageS of the times. vir-
tually held her In bondage until her
passage money had been refunded.
Unable to endure any longer the
raging temper of her master. the girl
ran away. Immediately upon discov-
ering her absence the man set off In
an angry chase upon his horse and
soon overlook her. The poor woman
never reached the house alive, and
Sutherland was indicted and arrested
on the charge of murder.
At the trial he tried to prove that
his horse had taken fright, run away,
pitched him out of the saddle and
dashed the girl to death upon the
rocks. but the jury did not accept the
defense. and Sutherland was sentenced
to die upon the scaffold.
Then came the plea of the insufi-
cheney Of circumstantial evidence and
the efforts of influential relatives.
These so worked upon the court that
the judge delayed the sentence of
death until the prisoner should be
ninety-nine years old.
1t was ordered that the culprit
should be released on his own recog-
nizance and that, pending the final ex.
ecution of his sentence, he should keep
hangman's moose about his neck and
show himself before the Judges of
Catskill once a year to prove that he
wore his badge of infamy and kept
his crime in mind. 1t was a more
cruel decision than the sentence Of i'm
mediate death would have been, but
1t was no doubt In harmony with the
spirit of the times.
Thus Ralph Sutherland lived. He al
ways lived alone. He seldom spoke.
His rough, imperious manner had
gone. Years followed years. At each
session of the court the broken man
came before the bar of justice and ST.
lently showed the moose that circled
his neck
At last his ninety-ninth year came,
t'>e time when the court had ordered

But the spirit of self punishment
continued, and when Sutherland, after
he had passed his bundredth year. was

throat was found to be encircled by
the rope which had been placed there

The election at PaXinos North
cumberland county was peculiar in
the extreme as the voters had but
one privilege, that of voting for all
Democrats.
Some time ago several of the vot-
ers called upon the committeeman
of tho Republican party and inform
ed him that it was about time to
hold the party primaries. That
official stated he would issue call
within a few days but in the mean
time was occupied with business
plans and the matter entirely slipped
his memory until it was too late
to hold primaries and the Demo-
Gratis had the smoothest kind of sail
ing.
Governor Pennypacker signed
the bill which fixes a penalty of
SO or ten days imprisonment for
throwing waste paper, sweepings,
ashes, household waste, nails or
rubbish of any kind into the streets
of cities, boroughs or townships,
or for disturbing the contents of
any receptacle placed upon the
street for collection of such sweep
ings." 1t is a law and should be
enforced.
1t has been noticed in several
places on our streets where ashes
have been thrown, in way that
does not look well, and it is hoped
that the attention of our town peo-
pie has not been called in vain to
this important matter.
