Pres. Taft on Monday met the
large delegations from the states
bordering on the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers, at st. Louis, and
the company embarked that after
noon for voyage of 1900 miles
down the river to New Orleans
where the deep waterways conven-
tion is to be held. In the company
that greeted him were 200 congress
men, 33 governors and score of
senator's. In his speech at ST.
Louis the President expressed his
approval of the plans to improve
our inland water channels for com
mercial purposes, but said that it
was not the purpose to "open a
barrel !" That he did not favor
making a large appropriation for
this purpose simply that certain
sections of the country might profit
by the expenditure of the money,
but that he favored only such ex-
penditures of money as will carry
out quickly such projects as may
be approved after careful lnvestiga-
ton, and which can prove their
good to the entire country. This
statement was probably disappoint-
ing to many present, but it is
sound sense Just the same.

1t is oniy in recent years that at
tempts have been made to limit party
membership to restricted circles or to
narrow Platforms IN fact. most Of
the political progress that We have
made in more than century was I'M
heralded by platforms or resolutions.
No platform called for the Louisiana
purchase, or for the independent trea-
sury, or for the annexation of Texas,
or for the opening Of the japanese
perts, or for the emancipation procla-
matien, or for the purchase of Alaska,
Or for the annexation of the Philip
pnes. When the platform writer's be-
gan TO endorse these things they were
dealing with accomplished facts.
Platforms serve a purpose. but it is
incidental. Parties cannot be subor-
dinated to them. In popular govern
ments political stagnation is certain
to follow the disappearance of an alert
opposition. Some of the ills of democ-
racy are due to the fact that in vari-
Gus respects it has ceased to oppose
and has sought to as
sist it. Others are traceable to the
platform habit, which has led it into
many strange and contradictory dec
Iarations In tho main however the
spirit Of faction has grown because in
the search by would-be leaders for
novelty, the real principles Of the par.

EXECUTIONS
IN SECRET.

An act passed by the last leglsla
ture OF Tennessee, which has jus
gone into effect. requires that all per
sons condemned 10 death shall be exc
cuted in privacy and seclusion. The
o1ly parsons who may be present ara
priest or m mister of the gospel, tbs
prison physician, the sherif of th'
county and such attendants as ma.

I'll is q good law. The curiosity
which attracts morbid persons to a
hanging or other execution should not
be encouraged. Whether it inc.tes
weak natures to crime, as some theo-
rists contend. it certainly does them
no good. At least it stimulates an nn.
worthy and rather bestial disposition.
and is necessarily more or less debas-
ing and brdtalizing.
To the sens tive prisoner a crowd is
mortifying, and he should be spared
unnecessary humiliation. He IS pay
ing the penalty of the law and any
thing more than the penalty is cruel
The bully or the beast who is to be
executed delights in crowd to give
Importance to his exit, but he should
not be INDUCED in such false heroics,
for undoubtedly a performance like
that has an evil influence upon like
natures
Execution in secrecy will serve, al
so. to prevent newspapers from print
ing hangsman's details, as most OF
them now do under an unwholesome
rivalry. The same reasons which
make a public execution improper
make the narrative OF it improper
Reading about it is much the same as
witnessing it.
The infection of capital punishment
IS a horror about which the least said
or done the better for the victim, his
unfortunate family. and the people at
large.
The lesson of punishment lies in the
fact, not in the exhibition of it, in the
historical certainty not in the visible
demonstration.
Let executions be in privacy and
secIusion for common deceney's sake.
Likewise. let all prison doors be clos
ed and let all convicts be concealed
behind impenetrable walls. 1t is CUES
tionable whether sightseers ought ev-
er to be permitted within prison cs-
Establishments. Official inspections are
necessary, but that IS enough for
wholesome publicity. A prison is
reflection upon the whole Of society
as wen as upon its inmates, for it is
proof of a disordered condition. Ger

eyes upon as menagerie OF wild
