From the Boston Transcript.
A Connecticut rural mail carrier, who
evidently performs his service with an OBJ
servant eye and a receptive mind, writes
to the Springfield Republican that he has
seen a great deal printed and has heard
more said about the great cost OF the
rural free delivery system. but very little

so easy to determine. but he Is confident
from his experience that they exist and

on his route of twenty-five miles he de-

lished the number of pieces Of mail mat
ter handled has increased from less than
three thousand to over six thousand a
month, while the number collected Is
more than three times what II was at the
start.
While ii is not easy to measure in dol

lists makes farms more marketable. and
more have taken up the business since II
was established. Moreover. along this
route there are a number OF young men
who have reached the ages OF discretion
and decision. who are remaining on the
farms. He is confident that they would
not have done so had the conditions been
what they were ten years ago. While he
does not give all the credit or this to the

The Early Marriage Evil.

A wise New York Judge. looking down
from his bench at . plaintiff and a de-
PENDANT In an abandonment case and not
ing their years, was moved to remark
upon the evil OF early marriages. These
young people were married when the wife
was seventeen and the husband nineteen
Now the husband has deserted his wife
leaving her with q child Of two years.
The fact that the judge is a bachelor
Of fifty perhaps entities him to speak
with some weight upon this subject.
though there may be those to argue
that q bachelor holds no commission to
discuss matrimony. The bachelor, be It
borne In mind, Is In a way detached
immune and therefore unprejudiced on
this subject. But whatever may be hts
abstract position, IL Is certain that this
particular judge, unmarried as he is, has
uttered q profound truth when he de-
cIares that much Of the misery of mar
ried life would be avoided IL there was
a law fixing the proper age for marriage.
In some states there is such a law In
other states the licensing authorities will
issue their certificate of permission II
there Is no apparent reason for denying
It. Some states require the formal con-
sena of parents in all instances where
either Of the contracting PARTIES is under
q certain age. But owing to the wide
variations OF the state laws regarding
marriage and divorce. IL is possible for
virtually any couple to fird an accom-
modating commonwealth to suil tel d..
cumstances with little trouble and at
small expense. Gretna Greens abound In
tbtx ssfree" land Of ours and in copse-
ouence Of them the divorce courts are
kept grinding overtime. One Of the most
urgent OF American needs today Is an
interstate agreement in the matter OF the
laws Of marriage and legal separation.

A Crime Against Society.

A demand Is expressed in various parts
OF the country for the enactment OF state
and federal laws denominating as murder

lives OF public oficials. regardless OF tu-
risdiction and especially regardless OF re-
suits. The same demand was voiced
while President Mckinley lay ut Buffalo.
apparently on the road to recovery from
the wound inflicted by Czolgosz. Now 1t
Is repeated In view OF the attempt upon
Mayor Gaynors life, which has happily
proved unsuccessful. The mayor Is now
rapidly regaining his health. and thus the
crime Of the man who tried to Kill him
is reduced 10 a degree far less than that
OF the motive with which he pulled the
trigger. He Is at this hour no less
murderer in intent than though his shot
had instantly taken his victims life
The fact that the mayor was not NOR
ally wounded does not lessen the crime,
nor the fact that the man has himself
expressed remorse for his deed. The evil
example set by him remains as danger
Gus as ever. The attack upon organized
society stands I'm all It's outrageous sig
niicance Indeed. the recovery Of the
mayor adds 10 the argument for the
consideration of this case as one OF un-
qualified capital crime. IL q disgruntled
office-holder can shoot and wound with
out killing and escape the utmost penalty,
why may not another shoot with cunning
design to wound and not to kill, gain
his brief hour OF notoriety without risk
ing his life and stand his chance for .
pardon or a short imprisonment under the
supposedly humane laws Of q ccmplacent
commonwealth?
Whatever virtue there Is In the system
of capital punishment lies In Its potency
as q deterrent. It should be regarded not
as an act Of vengeance, but as safe
guard against recurrent crime. That cap
ital punishment does not wholly prevent
crime is beside the mark. 1t stands today
the well nigh universal law Of our own
land and other countries. 1t is the ex-
listing effort OF society to defsld itsen.
and as long as 1t is prescribed for such
crimes as murder. the taking Of human
life with malice and deiiberation. 1t should
be extended to murderous attempts In
which the fatal result is averted by some
providential dispensation for which the
criminal Is in no degree responsible.
Especially important Is it that the lives
OF public ohicials. chosen by the COM
munity to do its work and to discharge
its obligations. should be protected to the
utmost. The state charges them with
duties which are in their nature caicu-
lated to give offense to certain classes OF
people. The man In ONCE who conducts
himself with regard solely for the public
welfare almost necessarily make enemies
The law that places him In such a
position OF danger and responsibility
should surround him with exceptional
safeguards, making 1t crime punishable
with death for any man to raise hand
against him with murderous design.

The Future Of Flying.
From the Providence Bulletin.

From the Providence Bulletin.
Most persons have thought OF aviation
as a dangerous sport and commercial en-
terprise in which there could never be
much assurance of safety In case Of an
accident. The achievement OF hyfng was
supposed to pay for all damage. But
judging by the serious efforts which the
French National Aerial League is max

yet be comparatively free from danger.

ought to 60 a long way toward achieve
ing the desired result But the work will
not stop there. Once science begins the
task of making the flying machine less
dangerous IL will advance from one device
to another more ingenious and efncacious.
The fact that only safety will induce the
public to take up aviation must drive the
interests commercially engaged in the
field to extraordinary efforts to eliminate
all serious danger.

Crimes Of Violence.

There is good authority for the~opinion
that crimes of violence are increasing In
this country, and too often go unpunished:
and various attempts are made to en-
plain the fact Out OF all the explana-

answer to the conditions finds the real
trouble in the fact that crimes OF violence
are not punished with certainty and
promptness by the law. The machinery
Intended TO shield the innocent protects
the guilty. The criminal IL made the
