off the details Of the revolving and
horrible crime that will haunt and
harrow every wake eful moment and
disturb his slumbers all through
the remainder of n prisoners life?
Yes, his sentence was commuted
to life Imprisonment, but the crime
committed will ever linger fresh
to disturb and harass his mind.
Nor is there any force in the
plea Of our neighbor that the law
Of love and of forgiveness which
our Savior gave us forbids the
killing of murderers; for the exc
cution of the murderer is not an
act of personal vengance; it is a
measure of self-preservation on
the part of the community. 1t is
our duty as Christians to forgive
all manner of offenses against OUR
SELVES, so completely that we shall
not have any hard or unkind
thoughts against the offender.
But we have a duty as citizens to
the community in which we live.
If burglar enters the house of a
Christian, and is caught, it is the
duty of the Christian to do what
ever he can toward securing the
conviction and punishment of the
burglar-not as matter of per-
sonal vengance, but that the crime
of burglary may be discouraged
and that the law against burglary
may be vindicated. Some of the
more grasping and greedy of gain
are willing to condone the offense
and let the burglar go free, pro-
vided the stolen property can be
recovered. Such men are not
Christians and are q menace to
society in any community.
But our neighbor asks, "What
is the good of it. What good end
is attained?" We reply, the very
highest and most Godlike end that
it is possible for men in their
communal capacity to attain. The
community clears itself Of respon-
sibility for the crime by executing
justice upon the criminal.
Look at the effect of failure tC
execute the demands of a righteous
law. In the State of South Car.
olina a murderer was acquitted
few years ago, and what is the
result? Every newspaper reader
in every civilized country of the
world knows that the State OF
South Carolina has no horror OF
the crime of murder. Everyone
knows that unless he is willing tC
hold his tongue with regard to the
wickedness of wicked men it viii
not be safe for him in South Car
olina. In acquitting the murderel
the State assumed full response
, bility for the dastardly crime an(
will inevitably pay the penalty o
the crime sooner or later.
In Tennessee a murderer is par

just as the State OF South Caro-
lima condemned itself by acquit-
ting criminal, SO God, on the
contrary, justified Himself by
condemning criminality and exe-
cutting it upon the Cross of Christ.
God was infinitely more anxious to
remit the penalty of sin than that
South Carolina jury was, but He
took very different way of doing
it. Instead of repudiating His
law and insulting His own justice
by acquiting sinful men He con-
demned them all and imposed the
full penalty of the law. Then He
took upon Himself the task Of ex-
patiating human guilt, and suffered
in the person of his son-the just
for the unjust.
BY so dong, GOD vlndlcated the
righteousness of His law more
fully than if all sinners had been
destroyed, or condemned to eternal
punishment. For in that case
there would have been no evidence
that it was the sin which God hateC
and not the sinner. BY bearing
the punishment Himself He thus
proved His hatred of sin, as it coulc
not have been proved to mankint
in any other way.

TO THE CITIZENS OF BENTON
COUNTY.

The Memphis-to- Bristol High
way Committee which convened at
Nashville recently decided upon
a route commonly known as the
"northern route" which leads
through Benton County. 1t is up
to us now to build our portion Of
this road and as soon as the survey
can be made, work will Immediate
ly begin. In addition to this quite
a lot of good work has been done
in and around Big Sandy, especial
Iy north and south from that point,
also from Rushing's Greek to Lib
erty church and from there to
Camden. An organization has
been put under way on the road
leading east from Camden to Eva,
and work will begin on this road
in the near future.
Petitions are now in circulation
for road from Sugar Tree to Cam
den, which in connection with the
work north from Camden to Big
Sandy when completed, will give
us a north end south trunk line,
then with Memphis-to-Bristol road
crossing from east ts west will give
us two very desirable routes tray-
ersing the county both ways. 1t
is no longer necessary to state in
any sense why we need improved
roads or an improved method of
caring for them when built. 1t is
no secret, fellow citizens, but
matter of record, that this county
has and is spending $4,000 per
wear almost since it has been in
existence for road building with
not one mile in the county of first
class highway to show for this
enormous expense.
AS we have previously stated,
it is no longer necessary to give
reasons for road improvement, but
the question Of the hour is meth
Cd of procedure, and with this
thought in mind, [ have assumed
the privilege OF calling mass
meeting at the court house III
Camden on Monday September 4
l9l1, at o'clock, for the purpose
of perfecting county road organ
ization.
Every man woman and child in-
terested in this move is requested
to be present. In addition to this
the members of the Memphis-to-
Bristol Highway Committee of this
county are urged to be present, az
some matters bearing on this roat
must be attended to. This com
mittee is as follows: II. l.. Stock

doned by the Governor. Though
that official was repudiated by the
people and has sunk into compar-
ative obscurity, the lawless ele-
ment were embodied by this and
other acts not compatible with
good government; strife and tur-
moil followed in rapid succession,
and even under the most favorable
conditions it will be years before
our great commonwealth will have
fully recovered from the blight
brought upon by the acts of this
one man.
In Benton County petition is
circulated to have the Governor
commute the sentence of a self
confessed murderer. twas signed
by hundreds of our citizens, in
cluding, we are told, some of the
very jurymen who sat upon his
case and rendered verdict in ac-
cordance with the confession made
by the murderer.
We read in the papers recently
of hideous crime committed IN
one of our Eastern States. A man
charged with murder was made a
hero Of by sentimental women who
hocked in and about the jail, car
rying flowers and nicknacks, and,
sorry to say, some of them were
perfectly willing to marry the
brute!
We have heard it argued that in
the few States which have abolish
ed capital punishment there are
fewer murders than in some States
which have not abolished it. But
they overlook the fact that, with
the exception of little Rhode Is
land, the States which have abol-
ished this law ore all agricultural
States, and have therefore much
steadier kind of population than is
to be found in the manufacturing
centres and cities of our older
States, where the unframed and
uneducated masses of Italians,
Greeks, Slavs and other races
from Southern and Eastern Eu-
rope and the low-minded, criminal
class of our own country congre-

"THOU SHALT NOT KILL !"
Editor THE CHRONICLE.

One or our nelghbOrs whom we
esteem objects to capital punish
ment on several grounds.
He argues that it is violation
OF the command "Thou shalt not
kill" This argument overlooks
the fact that He who said "Thou
shalt not kill" also commanded
His people to kill.
The law, "Thou shalt not KILL"
is general rule, but God Himself
made many exceptions to it, and in
doing SO established the principle
that it is sometimes not only law
ful to kill, bnt a positive duty to
do so. If the reader will turn to
Genesis tx 6, and Exodus xxi 20
and xxxv 2, and Leviticus Xxx 2, II
and 27 and xiv "a, and Numbers
xxxv 80 and Deuteronomy xiii 6,
TO and Is, xvii s and xxi % he will
find abundant evidence that the
command, "Thau shalt not kill"
was never intended to be used as
he uses it--as prohibition against
destroying those who set the laws
of God at defiance by destroying
the morals and the good order of
Che community in which they live.
The teaching of the Bible, taken
as whole, in regard to this matter
is that God cares nothing at all for
She life of the body except in its
relation to the life of the spirit
which inhabits it. If prolonged
bodily life is likely to result in
spiritual benefit then bodily life is
of infinite value. If it is only to
result in deeper spiritual degener-
\ alton, then it is an injury, and not
a benefit, to the individual.
God knows what will be the re-
suit in any one case and He acts
upon His knowledge. We are not
competent to pass iudgment,upon
Others or even on ourselves, as to
that matter, but the fact that
speedy death MAY, in fact, be the
most merciful treatment for the
criminal himself should not be
lost sight of when sentimental ar
guments against capital punish
ment are under consideration.
Does the reader believe that the
Governor or anyone else not ia
miliar with all the facts in the
case was competent to pass Judg-
ment in the Philip Ashby case,
for instance?
OF this we are quite sure: No
man could commit murder delib-
,erately who had not hardened his
heart by long defiance of God in
his thoughts. And nothing is more
likely to awaken the conscience OF
such a man and lead him to re-
nentance than the knowledge that
in a given number of days or weeks
he will have to stand before God
for Judgment. We believe that If
the murderer can be saved at all
he will be saved by the sentence
'>tof death very much more likely
than by long imprisonment We
believe, therefore, that the death
sentence is much the more mercl
ful of the two, taking the mans
hest and highest interests into
reconsideration.
The papers report that Ashby
Drofessed repentance after deatl
sentence had been passed upor
him. If his repentance WAS true
ranentance and if he was trusting
in Christ, his death sentence wa'
the means of his eternal salvation
and he could have gone to the gal
! lows with the name of Jesus on his
Inns But how will it be in the
vears to come, after long assocla

Thus far the work by the repub- licans in Bisbee, since they took rooms for headquarters, has consist ed in the fitting up Of those offices, which are now ready to open, the holding of a meeting at which selec- tions of candidates for the various county offices were made by the county committee, and the circulation of petitions These petitions have now been pretty well filled out in Bisbee, and numbers of the commit tee, or appointees. are now engaged in obtaining the requisite number in Warren and Lowell
 Harry Locke, who is in charge of headquarters here, said yesterday that as yet little had been done be- sides preliminary preparation, and that the obtaining of signatures to petitions would still take several days. requiring more time than one would anticipate.
 The republicans have not had the number of candidates to select from at the primaries that the democrats lave. As result, they have worked tue ComHilIlte pan ol sSISCtIoh, anu of circulation of petions, while the democratic county committee is keep ing hands of and letting each candi- date do this work for himself. There are few contests for any oi the nomi- nations.
 The meeting relative to the selec- ton of party candidates was held on Wednesday night, and among those present were D. Reedy, of Naco, and Chairman 4. H.

ANGRY SAN PEDRO
 HIGHEST IN YEARS But the Flood Has Caused
 Very Little
 Damage

Due to the rains early in the week. the San Pedro river is on the worst rampage in several years, but so far as has been learned no serious dam age has occurred from overflows. ., he flood water was at its height Thurs day night about ten o'clock. afte. which it began slowly to recede.
 Fear was felt for the safety of the county bridge at Hereford, bu. it safely breasted the flood. But tor the work done by the supervisors in strengthening the bridge and chang ing the river bed, 1t is believed that the bridge might not have withs.ood the pressure of the immense volume of flood water, which began it's de- scent about ten o'clock Wednesday night and reached the high point A hours later
 Before the work was done, one end Of the bridge was threatened by the water sweeping around the outward bow of the river bank. but this water had been diverted by changing the channel so that the flood waters flowed in more of a straight line.
 4 cement abutment had been built at the threatened end of the bridge to prevent the repressed current from undermining the bank. G. ;. Me Cabe, chairman of the board of super visors. spent all of Thursday at the bridge, intending to save as much Of the structure as possible if it showed signs of giving way, but left when the water began to recede.
 This was the first time that the efficiency of the work done by the supervisors has been tested, and by the biggest flood of several years, but the bridge stood the shock safely.
 Mir. McCabe WAS in the city yester- day and remarked that the present season of unusually heavy rains was putting the ranges in splendid con- dition, and that the prospects of a fine year for cattle were the best in several years. With a minimum of winter rains the ranges will be green until the rains of next spring.

TICKLING R. R. TIES
 IN GREAT SALT LAKE

Ten thousand railroad ties that nave been 'pickling" in Great Salt Lake, Utah, for the last three years have just been removed from that body of highly mineralized water and are now being transported 10 Hazen, Nevada, there to be given a trial on the new Hagen cutoff of the Southern Pacific company. "Piching" railroad ties in the Great Salt Lake is by no means a new experiment on the part of the rail road company.
 There are ties in the old Promon- tory line of the Central Pacific rail way, which were placed there 20 years ago and have not decayed, proving the preservatiye qualities of the salt formation in which they were ''pickled" for years before be- ing laid on the roadbed. Filling IS also being preserved in this lake as ed by the piling in the great trestle across the lake, which, since the day it was first placed in the first part of the construction of the Lu- cin cutoff, has shown no deteriora- tion.
 The ties that have just been re moved from the Great Salt Lake will be subjected to a hard test n the alkah soils of Nevada. The "pickling" process has caused them to become heavily impregnated with salt and they act as a ground" tc the electric current in the bloct signal service. This fact makes them unfit for use on the main line of the company over which tho block signals play a most important part
 The preserving of ties and pilinl in Great Salt Lake may become ar important industry. if the expert ments now being worked out prove as successful as former tests.

Owing to the number Of candidates who have announced themselves in Douglas. cftentimes for the same of fee, there is some fear expressed among the candidates there, accord ing to recent visitors from the Smelt CT city, that that section of the coun try will not obtain the representation upon the ticket to which it believes it is entitled, there being a feeling that local pride may govern votes in the directs primary, and the vote be split up at home through a multpli- city of candidates. Whether this fear will prove well grounded will develop after the votes are counted. Candidates in Bisbee, so far as seen by The Review, do not entertain the same fears that have been expressed by these Douglas candidates. In Bis bee the same conditions exist, and so it is through the country, in the cen ters of population.

I shall cast my vote for the ticket think the strongest, irrespective ot places of residence, though l shall pay attention in marking my ballot to a fair distribution of the offices to the varying localities"
 Others in Bisbee, candidates and others, have expressed themselves in the same way. They admit that the home candidate in each city will re- ceiye the votes of those who know them and do not know the others but think this will affect all sections alike and be as fair for one candidate as another. All are agreed that to insure success it is necessary to have gen eral representation on the ticket.
 The work of selecting precinct com mitteemen by the democrats contin- ues. Lowell named candidates on Wednesday night and on Thursday night Warren selected Pat Kelly, who has served his party on the county central committee.
