PASSING OF THE WABASH

The United States ship Wabash, the
receiving ship of Charlcstown, (Mass)
navy yard since 1875, officially went
out of commission at the yard Satur-
day, and its name VIII soon be strick
: eli from the list of warships.
The old ship, considered the acme
of naval construction in its day, has
flown the flag Of more distinguished
fleet commanders and rear admiralS
of the United States Navy than any
other ship ahoat, it is said, since it
was commissioned in 1858, has been
the home Of more officers and men OF
the United States Navy that any 9th
or vessel. Now, unless some historic
society wants the ship, it will be sold
for old junk and will probably be burn
cd on one of the islands Of the harbor
The Wabash was built at Philadcl-
phia and was one of The first war
shrips to use steam power as an aux
Hilary. During the Civil War she took
part in almoSt every naval engage
ment on the Atlantic coast.
Many years ago the Wabash made
trip to Constantinoplc. Upon reach
ing the pardancllcs the Turkish Off
GERS told the captain that according
to an international agreement, no
mcn-of-war Of other nations were al
lowed to pass drought the stralL'.
The American commander informed
The officials that it was his purpose to
proceed to ConStantlnoplc upon a
friendly visit. and that as tho United
States was not a party to tho agree
menl referred to, he was not obliged
to respect it. After a short conSulta-
ton the Turkish officials allowed the
Wabash to proceed. Upon arriving
at their objective point the United
States officers we're treated with prop
or courtesy by the Porte.

Mr. Ismay is an official Of the White
Star Line. The captain OF the Titanic
realized that it was his duty to remain
on the Inflated steamer as long as any
passengers were there. 1t should
have been equally apparent TO Mr.. Is

should have been his first concern and
his own personal safety a secondary
consideration.

Aside from all ethical reasons why
capital punishment should be forever abol-
ished I beg to mention more potent one.
l make my appeal now in the name OF
economy.
We all know that in most cases the eK-
pcnse in the prosecution is in direct ratio
to the financial rating of the accused, but
even where four men are sentenced to be
hanged within two months Of the date Of
their crime there is a certain amount Of
money spent by the state. 1t seems hardly
fair that the public should be taxed for
this purpose needlessly.
