THE EXECUTION OF REATTIE.

The ease of Henry CLAY Beattie. Jr.,
which has for so loug been in the pub
lie eye, ended yesterday with the cleo
trocutou Of Beat,ie on his conviction
of murder in the first degree for kill
ing his wife The young man has
steadily denied the crime and pro-
tested his guilt. until the last. Then,
Just before the last momcDt, he
freed his conscience by making q full
confession of the murder. This con
fcssicn was not needed in order to
make his guilt evident He had fair
patient trial. aud his guilt was fully
proved therein. Then his case was
taken TO the Supreme Court Of Virginia
on appeal, but the Judgment of the
lower court WIS affirmed Tho Gov.
ernor was then asked to intcrposc
either by way of pardon or commuta-
tion Of sentence. but he refused TO in,
terlcrc, saving that .iusticc must take
its course And so the execution of
the death sentence upon him proceeded
as stated.
In this case the State of Virginia
has set noteworthy example 10 all Of
the States of this Union in the mat.
ter of judicial procedure in y capital
case, and in illustrating fairness in
that procedure aud the certainty of
punishment in q murder trial. This ex-
ample Is needed in all Of the States.
for there is an appalling neglect in all
OF them TO reach due punishment of
mnrderers, The example is needed in
all of the States. and in none of them
IS 1T needed any moro than right here

thus be accorded And all the time
the likelihood Of Congress agreeing to
such scheme as this proposed by Mr..
Aldrich is so extremely remote that 1t
is not worth while to mention it,
The scheme, as suggested By Presi-
dent Taft last winter, when Mr..
Aldrich first made it public, is descrv.
ing of the best thought of the Ameri-
can people, and of the widest discus
sion. That discussion has been had,
the consideration of the public has
been bout upon this scheme for many
months, and, while some of the moucy
Interests favor 1T. the majority of the
bankers arc clearly in opposition, and
the general sentiment of the country,
aside from The immediate financial in.
tcrcsts that would be benefited by the
law, is practically unanimous in oPpo-
Sition, President Taft has not ap-
proved this scheme. and we doubt
very much if it could get his support,
for certainly it is scheme that is IN
no way TO help the Government, but
to prey upon it while using largely OF
the Government resources; and 1T
would create such banking monopoly
as has never been seen since the days
Of John Law.

THE THEFTS OF PICTURES.

The epidemic Of stealing paintings
that came TO public attention so SEN
sationally in the news Of the stealing
of the Mona Lisa picture from the
Louvre gallery in Paris, appears on
examination to have been more wide
spread than at first supposed; and on
examination many other pictures were
found to he missing from that gallery.
There have been good many rumors
about the stealing of the Mona Lisa
picture, some stating that the picture
has been restored, and other rumors de-
uyiug It, The best information seems
now to be that the picture is still
missing
There comes also news from Munich
that twenty-five paintings by German
and Dutch masters have been cut from
their frames in the famous Lustschloss
gallery at SchleisshcIm, and that. as in
the Mona Lisa case. there is no clue
to the thief or thieves.
1t is quite possible that other gal.
lcncs IN Europe may have been victim
ized IN the same way, for il looks like
systemizcd plan of robbery, in which
the robbers have made themselves not
only secure, but have extended their
depredations on far wider scale than

A special musical pro- gramme will add interest to the meet ing, which it is hoped will be largely at tended Mrs Atkins, in addition to be- ing a forceful and magnetic speaker. is most attractive personally Commenting upon her appearance in Nashville, the Tennessean of recent date said:
 Mrs Florence Ewel Atkins of Nash vile fairly electrified the immense audi enee in the convention auditorium on welcome night with her intensely touch- ing and dramatic picture of the scenes in the Tennessee legislature when the state wide bill passed. From the moment she began speaking until she had finished there was absolute silence, broken only by the spontaneous outbursts of applause that greeted some of her declarations"
 And in another exchange the following appeared:
 .All who were fortunate enough to be there were highly entertained, and about the only criticism to be heard was she tie woman, graceful in manner, pleasant in address and entertaining as a speaker. Her talk was clear in conception replete in thought and convincing in argument. Her whole heart and soul are in what she says; hence to hear her speak is helpful and uplifting, and to fail to hear her is a distinct loss. Mrs. Atkins is a strong factor in the cause she represents"
