ARKANSAS TO HANG A BOY.


A 15-year -old boy has been SEN
fenced to hang in Arkansas for
killing a companion in a quar-
rel. The case was affirmed by
the supreme court and now goes
to Governor Donaghey. His duty
under the law Of that state is too fix
the time Of the exeeution--or he may
commute the sentence IL he will.
II is remarkable that such a verdict
should have been rendered in the first
instance. It is even more so that it
should have been approved by the SUI
prafne court-especially in view Of
the fact that mature men who have
been guilty OF atroeious murder so
easily and so frequently escape the
gallows
When ful1-grown man is sentenc-
ed to hang there 10 little protest, for
those who commit murder must be
punished as a wholesome example to
others. When jury fixes the death
penalty or life imprisonment all bow
to and generally approve of 1t. When
q child is given such a penalty there
10 bound to be popular protest-for
the idea Of infiieting the death penal
" on 15-year-old boy Is abhorrent
to the best sentiment.
Such a penalty is in direct conflict
with the general trend OF the times.
II comes right at time when Juvenile
laws are being enacted and juvenile
courts are being established - to
differentiate between the punish
xnent for children and that Of
adults. Everywhere there Is a
growing and commendable senti-
mert against placing children in the
same class with adults-when 1t comes
20 innicting punishment for their mis-
deeds. 1t 10 brutal and inhuman TO
coneign . child to the fate that is and
should be provided for a hardened Grim
dnaL II the difference in the punish
ments for adults and children is prop
'sr from sense OF humanity and jus
Aiea--how can it be that jury and a
court in this age of enlightenment
have Indicted the death penalty on a
'1b-year-oid boy7

GRAFT AND PRIMARIES.

In his testimony before the commit
tee investigating the election Of SEN
ator Stephenson, Attorney General
Bancroft Of the badger state declared:
We never heard talk Of corruption in
this state before we got primaries.
And now we have nothing but political
evil.
This statement won't please the ad i
vocates Of the primaries--who paint
It as the cure-all for political Ills
and the quintessence Of reform.
