DEATH FOR KIDNAPPING

The recent abduction rf Will,
Wh'tla. aged years. from the scl,oo
he was attending in Sharon. Pa. III,
home Of his parents, recalls the kid
mapping Of Charley Ross from his home
III Philadelphia in 1873. when he was
aged 4 years, and whose fate is still a
mystery.
And there is brought home the wan
ton murder. charged to the Black Hand
OF Lama,la's child citizen Of New
Orleans. which is familiar TO readers OF
newspapers. This child was killed il,
keeping with the threats resulting from
the failure Of the payment Of the ran
som demanded by his abductors.
The incentive of the abductors is
money For the recovery of his son. a
case still fresh in mind. Cudaly, the
millionaire pork packer of Omaha. paid
one hundred thousand dollars to the in
termediary of the kidnappers.
Some time afterward Pat Grove was
charged with the crime. but he escaped
conviction
1t may be noted that kidnappers do
not steal the children Of the poor nor
the limited in means. and excepting in
the cases 81 Charley Ross and the La
mana child, the kidnappers on receiving
the ransom demanded have returned the
stolen child to the parents and have es-
capped punishment
This kidnapping business must be sup
pressed. as next to rape there can he no
greater felony than kidnapping. For
rape. or an attempt to assault a woman,
as an invariable rule. the culprit is
lynched sumtnarly.
If the kidnapper is encouraged
through the hair-splitting tecl'nicalities
Of law and the tender mcrcies of the
courts so frequently msapplied. the alb
duction of children of parents having
means to paw the ransom exacted will
become as common as the crime of lar
cenv
Who can imagine or feel the tortur-
ing. indescribable anguish Of the parents
whose child has been kidnapped
If the same child were dead. there
would be. in a measure. left them the
melancholy satisfaction. the comfort of
the Christian in the realization that their
loved one had been called to the God
who gave it, but how horrifying is the
thought that a defenseless child is held
in the grasp of villains who would tor
tufe it and kill it if the ransom exacted
he denied them!
There should be only one penalty for
such a crime. Death by hanging for
kidnapper and life Imprisonment at hard
labor for attempting or for scheming to
kidnap.
1t is time every State in the Union
were making kidnapping felony pun
ishable only by death by hanging

GILBERT in LITTLE ROCK
CAPITOL SOON TO BE READY TO
TURN OVER TO CONTRAC-
TORS.

Little Rock, Dec. 6.-The state capi-
tol commission is today meeting with
Cass Gilbert, the architect, and before
night proposition will be made to
the contractors who have bid for the
work of completing the building, for
the letting of a contract so they can
go ahead with the work 1t is hoped
to have the contractors working on
the building by the first of the year.
The stone work on the building will
be completed by the end of this week.
The concrete is all in the first two
floors. Next week the forms will all
be in place for the concreting of the
third floor The roof will then be put
on and the contractors can take the
building. This work would have been
done several weeks ago but for the
slowness of the iron workers.
