Work On The Death Chair

The Frankfort correspondent of the
Courier-Journal writes his paper as fol-
lows:
although it is expected that the
chair may not be used for many month S
the work for installing the death chair
at the Eddyville penitentiary is going
OH steadily, the Prison Commission
taking no chances on being caught nap
plug. The char will be ready in few
weeks, and any condemned man who is
to die in the chair will be put to death
at Eddyville is considered the most ap-
proved manner. The electrocntion law
became effective OH June ID, and It a
crime is committed after that time, for
which the death penalty is imposed by
the Judge andjury, the condemned man
will be electrocuted. But the electro
cution law applies only to crimes cow-
mitted after the law became effective.
As there is always delay in inhictirg
the death sentence, on account o. ap-
pesls and the usual legal delays, it is
hardly probable that an electrocution
will take place for some months yet.
Only a few muders, where the death
penalty is likely to be imposed, have
been committed in Kentucky since the
new law became effective and the death
penalty has not been returned by any
jury since that time.
MANY persons have wondered why
the death chair was not located at
Frankfort. The reason is that the Frank
fort penitentiary soon will cease to be
called penitentary, but will be re
formatory, and it was considered hard
ly proper to inflict the death penalty in
reformatory. Another objection WAS
that there are two many sightseers in
Frankfort and they would all want to
60 to the penitentiary and see the death
chair. So the Prison Commission did
not hesitate long about where they
would locate the place for putting to
death of condemned men,
| hC It's
hands full right now getting ready to
convert the prison here into a reform
atory, and in a few months they will
have worked out the details and the
transfer of prisoners will begin. AL
ready the sorting CT prisoners is in prog
ress. The new law is applied to men
convicted since the new law became
effective, and all those over thirty years
of age, no matter where convicted are
taken to f idyville. while those under
80 are brought to Frankfort.
"Paroles are now being granted under
the new law and many men in the
prisons of the State have had the door
of hope opened for them for under the
new law any convict, who meets the re-
quirements as to conduct can be paroled
Under the old law man convicted OF
certain crimes was not eligible to pa
role, apd a man sent up for life had to
serve five years. But now all are elig-
ible and the result is deluge of appli-
cations.

continue to cultivate the soil so thor
oughly as to secure the largest possible
yields, and give to the millions of con-
sumers now suffering because of high
priced products the benefit of lower
prices' Surely more consumers would
be benefited by the cutting of farm pro-
duct prices in half than will be benefit
ell by the efforts to minimize the earn
ings of great development and building
operations. Why should any increase
in the value of timber land, or coal
lands, or iron lands be permitted? This
increase only adds to the cost of build
ing homes and of establishing indus
tries. Why not say that as timber pro-
perty sold at 81 or IS an acre a few
years ago, it shall not sell at a higher
value now, and that lumber must be
sold on the basis of valuation of 81 or
50 an acre, and not on the basis of pres
ent valuation of timber lands?
1t may be said that these are vision
airy suggestions. We grant that to a
certain extent they are not more vision
airy than the arguments of many public
men, many newspapers and many men
cf all classes on the problems of the
day. Just so surely as the sun rises and
sets will the agitation which is now
spreading over the land, based largely
on Mysteries, unless the country returns
TO sanity of thought, eventually find
expression in antagonism to all profits
beyond the narrowest margin, TO all
advance in property values. whether of
to all profits in banking or other busi-
ness interests over and above the mar
rowest limit, and thus the reign of the
crank, the theorist, the faddist will sup
plant the reign of law and order In
dustrial stagnation will then take the
place of industrial development, and
this country, hitherto the leader of the
worlds material advancement, will be
surpassed in progress in material things
and thus in progress in civilization, by
other countries which we now affect to
desPse.
We would, indeed, be fools to shut
our eyes to the facts. No one need de-
lude himself that we are not heading
that way. We have faith enough how
ever, in the American people to believe
that they will recognize the situation
and meet it by return to sanity.

SAM BUTTONS EGGS BECOMING FAMOUS


SAM DUTTON, who made Denver
famous, not only has all the electric
motors ever intended eclipsed when
1t comes to creative energy, but is

MUS. Not satisfied with having de

finest henneries in the country. The
owner operated nothing but the finest
imported White Leghorns and the
eggs were consequently uniform in

the food of the fowl as would give
the egg product the individual taste
