BOILING TO Death.
Terrible Torture That Was Once the
Law In England.

Terrible Torture That Was Once the
Law In England.
In England during the reign Of
Henry VIII. the public mind became
greatly excited through several cases
OF poisoning. and parliament enacted
q law making boiling to death the pen
atty. This law was on the statute
books about sixteen years. It was
made retroactive, 20 a to take In q
case that chiefly prompted its enact
ment-that Of Richard Rose, other
wise Coke, the bishop Of Rochesters
cook. who poisoned seventeen persons.
two Of whom died. Coke was boiled
ut Rochester. The infection was at
tended with peculiar cruelty. as Coke
was put into q cajdron Of cold water
and gradually cooked to death.
A few years later. In March, 1912, q
young woman named Margaret Davy
was punished in q similar way on con-
viction Of poisoning. The public was
not satisfied as to her guilt. and. not
outstanding the comparatively slow
travel Of news In those days. the story
Of Margaret Davy's trial and punish
ment soon spread through the king
dom and aroused universal horror
Boiling to death remained on the stat.
ute books, however. as long a. Henry
reigned, perhaps because the monarch
himself had q dread Of being poisoned.
Immediately after his death parlis-
ment repealed the law.

A distinct line of cleavage is appear

one hand is the Marshall Gronna lot
who are accused of prematurely form

the insurgents while on the other hand
Messrs. Helgeson, Skulason and other
prominent insurgents who were not rec

The latter faction are mostly rel, cts of

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

During the past month hardly "a day
has passed without some railway ;acci
dent, closing up thisweek with the:aMful
disaster at Spanish river, not far from
North Bay, Ont, where thirty-nine we're
crushed, drowned or burned to death
and many more wounded. And the4ues-
,tion cou.es again as it has SO many times
before, is this slaughter. necessary ac-
compartment of railway traveEf We
don't believe itfls. Some accidents are
undoubtedly unavoidable, hut in a large
number of ceases more money spent
would prevent them. The death roll in
European oountriesfor railway accidents
is far below ours. The principal reason
is that the neads' cost more per mile to
build and operate than ours. Is it q
question of human lives VS.. money!
The railways pay thousands and thou
sands Of dollars every year as damages
for injuries and deaths which are the re-
sult,of negligence on the part of the
railways, .as such damages could not
otherwise be collected. We wonder, If
in the end it would not be better prop-
osition for the money to be spent in i'm
provements of the roads and save the
broken limbs and lives.

'One'of the principal planks of the in
party has been opposition to the
personality and methods of Alex. Nc
Kenzie. And yet no faction .or party
ever:showed the want of Mckenzie any
more than the insurgents of North Da-
kota. With half way decent leaders,
they would have by this time absorbed
the whole party. But every man who
has attempted to take trick at the
wheel has forthwith started to steer the
faction into his own home port. That is,
that every leader who has thus far az
peared has been candidate himself.
Alex Mckenzie has never made that sort
Of mistake.

A very peculiar movement is the quite
universal boycott in many of the east
ern cities on meat, eggs and butter.
Now boycotts have been declared illegal,
but in this case an injunction would not
lie-because it could not find anything
to lie 'on or against. The movement
while so universal is also purely sponta-
neous and individual. It is not the re-
suit of meetings, committees or unions,
but the people by common impulse have
just quit buying and are living on vege-
tables and bread-and the prices are
coming down.
