The Death Penalty

When one ecalls the atrocity of
the crime for which Henry Bsattie
was convicted and the appalling hor-
ror of the manner in which it is all
eyed to have been committed, it would
seem that it embodies not one cir
cumstance upon which the plea for
executive clemency could reasonably
be based. Yet it is doubtless true that
there are hundreds of law abiding
people in Virginia-men and women
who will affix their names to petitions
praying either for the mans pardon
or that his sentence be committed to
life imprisonment. Nor is the fact at
all difficult to understand. 1t repre-
sents a temperamental horror of the
death penalty; sentimental repug-
nance to the law-ordained and law-en-
forced killing of human being;
disposition to rebel at the thought
that society revenges murder by COM
murder under another name.
The provocation is for the nonce for
gotten-its fiendishness somewhat OBJ =
scured; its first acute shock no longer
present. Thoughts become centered
upon the culprit and his awful fate.

1t is worse than useless to at

catharlics do much harm. They

Besides, their use becomes a
habit that is dangerous.

And so it seems that the Lynchburg
News "didn't mean it,, but was
ironical all the way through, in its
remarks about Mr.. Bryan, to which
this paper took slight exception last
week. The Lynchburg News should
remember that the editor of the
Clinch Valley News, and "Bill"
Eads, are somewhat "thick headed,
and be more careful next time to put
it lin words clear and plain" 1t is
rather humiliating that "chart or
key" should be necessary in order to
see through" the usually clear ut
terances of the News. Anyhow, we
ran our contemporary out of the
woods, and gave him opportunity to
explain and praise Mr.. Bryan.

Eight Years Ago
(From the Clinch Valley News of
Nov. 6, 19O3:)

The lesson of the hour is that when
a party ignores everything but expe-
diency in its nominations for public
office it may certainly expect to be
sat upon and should be.
Again, when a party consents to
relegate to few the keeping of its
legitimate interest in public affairs,
and the shaping of it's policy by with
drawing from active participation in
the. necessary work of the party,
nothing but defeat is to be expected,
and forfeits its right to complain.

There are no good reasons for kill

should there be no exception or mercy
the crime of criminal assault, and

NEW YORK.-Not the wild and
~ woolly west, but New York, city
with its great police powers and its
highly organized civilization is the
most fruitful field for horse thieves in
the country The amount of property
stolen by horse thieves in the eoun-
try's metropolis in one year probably
exceeds that stolen In Kansas, Ne

years This crime is so easy of ex-
ecution and so hard Of detection in a
great city like New York that detect

headway in checking II and recov-
ering any Of the stolen property On
an average five horses and wagons are
stolen in the city every business day.
To place the amount lost every year
is difficult, but It Is estimated that
property valued at from 81 100000 to
$1,500000 Is stolen. Ordinarily the

Solve Mystery Of an Ancient Ghost

strange thing came about when the
giant elm in question, probably more
than 100 years old, was felled at the
instigation of the public grounds de-
partment.
When the big elm fell it was dis
covered that about thirty feet Of its
top was hollow, and inside was found
an owl of the bald-headed variety
sleeping as quietly as though nothing
had happened. The inside of the tree
was found to be filed with egg shells,
corn cobs and various other refuse
which the owl had from time to time
taken there. While the owl occupied
a conspicuous place in the tree, calm
ly nesting in a heap in the bottom Of
the hole, there was a mother and
father chipmunk with twenty-five lit
tie ones.
People of the district who have re-.
sided there for twenty-five years are
glad that the mystery has been
solved. They have been trying to dis
cover for years the cause of all the
nightly gruesome noises which have
on more than one occasion frightened
the women of the district who have
been obliged to return to their homes
after dark.

The White House Is Closely Guarded

the corridor OF the main floor and an
other the corridor Of the upper private
floor.
Outside there is constant vigilance
In front and In the rear, II the White
House may be conceived as having
any rear. The south front Is as beau
tiful as the north front and Indeed
more so. A policeman is always on
guard at the south portico, and espe
oially so at night. One parades with
the regularity of a sentryman the
half covered corridor leading from
the White House to the executive OF
fees.
That the White House should have
to be thus carefully guarded may seem
strange to Americans whose CHIEF ex'
ecutlve is after all only democrat
who is a citizen temporarily, holding
a high public office. But 1t is nece1'
sary. Three Presidents have beef1
assassinated, although none ever n
the White House. It would seem
none ever could be because Of the
vigilance kept there. But a fierce
light plays upon the White House and
the occupants of it. especially the
president. II attracts all kinds Of
people, and cranks are ever danger
GUS. Many is the one apprehended
before he has gone far. And in this
land Of liberty there are also other
people who have dangerous ideas cen
tering on the life Of the chief mag
istrate.
Besides, Americans, and especially
American women are very inquisitive
and given much to vandalism. They
come in shoals to Washington, and
their first thought is the White House.
They want to inspect It from bottom
to top. They want to miss nothing,
and many of them would like to take
away mementoes. Their audacity and
lack Of manners and observance of
other proprieties is amazing.

Bankers Quick to Detect Bad Money

TIE exact chance of any one per-
i son having a bad piece of money
is hard to determine, for the reason
that no one, not even the secret sery-
ice, knows at any one time just how
much counterfeit currency is in circu-
lation. But from years Of experience
the government agents at Washington
have figured out that in paper money
the proportion Of bad to good is about
81 to 100000, and in coin somewhere
between 50 and SO to 100000.
The larger the coin or bill TO be
counterfeited the greater the danger
of detection and the need of a more
expensive plant. The commonest way
of making spurious money is the turn
ing out. of base metal coins-but the
operation is expensive Silver, for in
stance, cannot be successfully cast.
Base coins with silver in them must
therefore be struck off in a steel die
a die representing days of work on
the part of an expert engraver. Then
there must be a powerful press to
make the impressions, to say nothing
of all the expenses of running chem
ical laboratory and keeping it Sc
cret.
In the counterfeiting of paper money
there are three methods used, copy
thg by hand, Photographic rebroduc-
tion, and the raising Of genuine bills
from lower to higher denominations.
