of saloons. When you have this linz
tied number paying a high license,
it is better than twice as many pay
ing half as much license each. The
saloon-keeper then has too much in
vested to violate the law with i'm
punity; he finds it more profitable
to obey the law and when it costs
him several thousand dollars to fix
up a place and pay his license, you
have better class of saloon-keep-
ers than where some irresponsible
person can jump in with few humid
red dollars. That is the difference
with regard to the question of limit
ing the number of saloons and max
ing those who go into the business
pay high license.
The best elements of society do OPP

and where there is a demand for IL
quor in packages, there is a strong
incentive to adulterate and deterior-
ate and the result is an inferior
grade of goods. Prohibition whiskey
is killing a great many more people
than were ever injured by the use
of good liquor and good beer. So
much for the barrel argument of the
"Drys."
More glaring inconsistencies in the
open letter to the Business Mems &
Voters League of Canyon county, by
Mr.. T. J. Golightly, Citizen.
Speaking about the right of the in
dividual to drink, the gentleman says
that he for one is ready to admit
that no one has the right to drink
On this basis he would carry his idea
into law and force it upon his I'M
willing neighbor. Will the esteemed
gentleman please show to the Bust
ness Mems G. Voters League of Can
yon County his permission to force
such artificial and repressive legisla-
ton upon his neighbor and brother?
From what higher authority does he
derive his power to deny the right OF
the individual? Until he can show
us that commission from higher au-
thority or power, we shall continue to
disagree with him.
Since he has found it eXpedient to
quote Paul the Apostle, why not re-
mind the gentleman of Pau's famous
truth when he said: "lf you can
make men righteous by law, then
Christ has died in vain" and to limo
thy, "Take a little wine for thy
stomach's sake"
Why do we pass laws to prevent
people from splitting on the side
walks? Why not at the same time
compel the individual from splitting
at all.
So long as a man does not trespas'
upon the equal rights of his neighbor
he has the right to freedom of choice
in his religion, food, drink and prl
vate life =? And as long as a man l!
compelled to expectorate in public, h
is permitted to do so upon the public
highways so long as he does not maxi
himself obnoxious.
The gentleman asks another yer!
foolish question in regard to the bust
ness feature of this issue. He want
to know why Boise isn't spending
about $4,000 or $4,000 in an effor
to carry the county dry. Becaus
the leading business men of the cit
Of Boise are wet at heart. There

tons, which are just now being use
as political footballs, that there is q
prospect of Ada county having an
other county option election on its
hands, and are keeping their money
at home. A great many business men
of Caldwell have quite a different
story to tell from that published by
Mr.. Golightly. (His name seems
very appropriate with what he pub
lishes). Ask the business men of
Caldwell what has become Of the
sheepherders and the thousands of
dollars which they spent in Caldwell,
and who gets this business now.
We have pointed out in our printed
matter specific instances where the
liquor dealers of Boise published the
amount of money that has been re-
ceived from Caldwell and Canyon
county. His argument is pretty shall
low, because when q man does go
away from home to buy whiskey, he
buys a quart or a suitcase full. At
home he secures his drink, goes on
about his business and is satisfied.
The money spent for liquor, if spent
at home at least, remains in the
community. The saloon-keeper ex-
ponds a portion of it for his license,
spends a portion Of Unusually .

Christian charity Is the password TO In
tellectual progress the world over.
Does Not Satisfy Justice.
1t Is not because Matte Lomax is a
woman that we protest against her
hanging, but because she il a human
being, and taking her life will In no
way satisfy Justice and remove the
murder that she committed; It will only
add another to that list, and so on as
long as capital punishment is remedy
for justice.
Let Matte Lomax and all others who
have taken life, work out the hemain-
der of their years In prison.
Can one imagine anything more hor-
rible than takin human being,
no matter what his sex or color
may be, and deliberately placing a rope
about his neck and sending him int
eternity, or placing him in an electric
chair for the same purpose.
Matte Lomax Is the first woman TO
be sentenced to death since Mrs. Sur
raft, when this took place people were
frenzied by suspicion brought on by the
long siege of war, and Notwithstanding
the above for an excuse, the sorrow and
shame OF her execution will always
cast a shadow over Washington, which
neither argument nor authority can ev-
er remove.

Replies to Criticism.
To the Editor of THE TINES: w..
When you extended the invitation to
the citizens OF this city to express their
views pro and con as regards the exc
cution of Matte Lomax, little did
think that should be the cause of a
controversy with w. E. Causie Eshler.
This distinguished friend accuses me
of being one-sided, which 1 am free to
admit is true, as have never been and
never will be Of that character who
says one thing and means another; 1t
is difficult to be for and against at the
same time. Therefore, l shall return
the compliment.
Ny friend says there is nothing in the
law of the land which says execute a
woman. l did not make any such state
ment. The law Of the land does, how
ever, say that upon conviction OF muir
der in the first degree the punishment
is death by hanging. This Is irrespec-
tive of sex, race, color, or anything
else. He is right again when he accuses
me of upholding the justice of the Su-
preme Court of the District of Column
bia and the jury, and l snail continue
to do so, since ! am a law-abiding citi-
zen since birth in the District OF CO.
lumbia. and appreciate justice Is not a
farce. as has been the case in all trials
previous to this where women were the
offenders.
The law protects women, white or
black, whose husbands do not support
and provide for them, and 1t Is by
word with women these days that they
will juvenile their husbands on the
slightest pretext, SO, therefore, / fail to
see what that has to do with enforcing
the law.
/ wish to thank w. f. c. f. for the
Judgment he has passed upon me, and
will withhold mine by saying: Judge
We not, lest we also be judged. Cast
aside sentiment, learn the law Of the
land, obey the same, then you will have
no conscientious scruples, but Will

Defes Law and Order.

| To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
II seems a shame that honest persons
should waste their time on such a case
as is being daily discussed in this city.
Some there are who say that the wom-
an was insane at the time of the muir
der-was goaded to it by e brutal hus-
| band. That Is no excuse. We have
laws to deal with such cases.
II We positively guarantee that we
will do away with capital punishment 1t
will be a gOdSend to the man VINO Is
unemployed and cannot make livell-
hood. He will simply have to Kill
some one and be fed and clothed the
rest of his life at the expense Of the
Government. He may be sure also OF
thousands or misguided men and women
who will sign petition Tor his re-
lease.
How many writer's on this LomaX case
would have signed a petition for the
lesseuing of the punishment for the
murderer of our martyred Mckinley?
How many who are so free with their
views of justice 90 would ask leniency
for the murderer of their wives, moth
ers, sisters, or fathers? But that is
another matter, i suppose. When the
tragedy is outside of our OWL families
II is easy to say, THE Lord giveth and
the Lord taketh away; give her another
chance!'
And YOU Christians who would abolish
/
Imprisonment! Is 1t Christlike to tor
ture a human being through all the
years of his life by confinement? There
is a chance Of escape, but Of repent
ance?-never! Whatever iota of remorse
or sorrow a man had after his deed
would vanish as the days passed. and
he was forever Gagged like a wild beast
object of horror and pity! Can you
blame a man for killing his jailer or
himself or escaping?
In these days when any man can
start a religion or be a minister Of God
who owns a Bible and can get few
men to listen to his views, anything is
possible, even an appeal like the one
now running in the papers. where citi-
zens are asked to try to set aside the
ruling of the courts and punish bar
barously The Zulus have more Chris
tianity than that.
Money and influence can accomplish
wonders, even to freeing murderers and
making crime a virtue, but this should
not be. Thou shalt not kill in the
Bible relates to other things beside the
body.
Whatever belief you follow, II it has
God in it at all, requires obedience to the
law. Shall you be bold enough to defy
law and order by placing your name on
the list in this case? ]. D. MURRAY.

was highly Endorsed by newspapers. and

think to this day that such hypocrit-

sealed her fate. She was hanged.

In my opinion II petition the President
OF the United States to save this woman
from the gallows because of her sex,
l would be asking him TO do me a per-
sonal favor. Would the President break
the law to do me favor? No, hed
order a roll call at st. Elizabth's.
II we are opposed to capital punish
ment we should say so In no uncertain
terms, without mentioing race or sex.
I am and always have been against cap
ital punishment on the ground that there
is no human being perfect, therefore
sinners and liability to err. The first
murderer was not sentenced to death
by the highest authority. What author

is like.
I hope the people of Washington WILL
petition the President to save this
woman from the gallows on the ground
that they are opposed to capital pun
