FORMS OF LEGAL DEATH.
Different Systems Of Capital Punish
nent in Various Countries.

The systems of capital punishment
vary much throughout the world. I'm
Nevada it is proposed to permit the
person under sentence of death to
drink poison or be hanged. Hanging
is by far the most usual form of exc

few states have adopted electrocu-

Thomas a. Edison has just declared
that death by electrocution Is much
more painful than hanging, and he
ought to understand the subject. He
says that in hanging there Is sudden
shock when the body drops TO the end
Of the rope. which produces instantan-
eous Inconsistencies. II Is as II the

Chicot was arrested. and confessed

burglary as a business. and that he had

handed to the police a neatly written
record of these burglaries. and pointed
out that the estimated value of the

We may differ as to the question or
free trade with foreign nations, but
there can be no doubt of the desir-
ability of a good deal freer trade
among ourselves than we now enjoy.
Greed has interposed many obstacles
between the people and their source
of supply. Too many mel and organ
izations take toll of life's necessities
before they reach the consumer. Con-
sumers, not being organized in their
capacity as consumers, it is most diff
ficult for them to protect themselves
against extortion or to maintain thetr
rights. Therefore, the government is
under peculiar obligation to enforce
any laws enacted for their protection.
This, Of course, Is the animating pur-
pose of the suit against the lumber
trust. The government has been at
work for a year gathering evidence,
SO we suppose 1t feels reasonably sure
Of it's ground. Those who were so
fearful that the administration might
run amuck' in it's fight on trusts,
and so disturb business, can now feel
no alarm, for have they not been as
sured that no combinations would be
disturbed unless they "u~nreasonably"
restrained trade? These people can
have no objection to the prosecution
Of trusts that are in reality trusts un-
der the recent Interpretation of the
antitrust law.

Democratic Doctrine.

Mr.. President, | was taught to be-
lieve that genuine Democracy looks to
the millions and to their relief rather
than to the hundreds who need no
relief. 1t does not array class against
class; it does not encourage the rich
to Cypress the poor, nor teach the
poor to envy the rich. 1t enjoins up
on every man to respect the rights Of
others. Its creed Is justice to all men,
but if it can do benevolence to some
without doing injustice to any, 1t will
bestow it's favors, not upon those
whose abundance gives them luxury
and ease, but upon those whose hard
estate condemns them to a reverend
ing toll, for it's great mission in this
world was and is
To lift some portion Of that weight and
care
Which brushes into despair
One-half of the human race.

The Next Ten Years.

That greater freedom Of trade, in a
much broader sense than is signified
by the term free trade" is going to
be more dominant In American com
merce during the next ten years is
extremely probable, says Mark Sulli-
van in Golfers. The tendency Is
likely to be toward the removal of
artificial barriers from trade, and
toward the destruction of those re-
straints on competition which have
been fundamental in the growth OF
trusts during the past two decades.
Public opinion is headed that way;
the recent trust decisions have done
much; the present activities of the
attorney generals Office at Washing
ton will do more; a lower tariff will
help; most of all will be done by the
simple workings Of economic laws.

In days of old it was usual to con-

doubtful. 1t was not led to the altar

but dragged there by %unfeeling and
brutal hands. If 1t had been left to
itself to work out its moral regenera-
ton it might still be swindling the

customs officials. and classifying its c
ords. 1t is now a highly self-respect-
