WOMANS LIFE
" FOR MURDERERs
-
Asks Oregon Governor to
Let Her Die for Con-
demned Prisoners.

= Salem. Ore., Nov. 76.-Branding
capital punishment as a terrible thing
and appealing to Governor West to
postpone the execution Of the five cor.
demned murderers at the penitentiary
for six months, SO that they make
their peace with God. Mrs. Charles d.
Wynne of klamath Falls, has written
the governor offering herself as a sub
stitute in the event he cannot post
pone the execution. The letter was
made public today. 1t follows:
Governor West: 1t is a terrible
thing to take human life. Suppose the
people willed that you should spring
n trap yourself. could you do It?
Then think of the man whose duty 1t
Will be to send those souls to eternity.
suppose the people willed 1t that
YOU should stick a knife into each of
those, five warm. throbbing hearts and
the farm blood should squirt over your
hands. Could you ever cleanse that
stain? Is 1t not the very same thing
to hang them? If they must hang,
Will you please be merciful and put
OF the deed for six months or so and
give them a chance to get right with
God? If you cannot do this, would
you accept. a substitute for them?' II
you will, I will offer myself, my life
for theirs. This would mean abso-
lutte freedom for them and a chance
as free men to get right with God, OF
course. I would want the assurance of
each in turn that he would give up the
worldly things and live for Jesus only.
Think it not strange that I. would
sacrifice my life for those whom I
have never e It is enough that I
know they are human being in need
OF REDEMPTION. They are sinners. I
am a Christian and I think my life
would balance their debt"

use Of school buildings for such pur.

efforts which had been made last sea-

that the domestic science work should
be under the direction of the lomes-
tic science supervisor.
Principal Stebbins Of the high
possible use Of the school buildings
for the benefit Of the public. AS to
the proposal to use the assembly room
of the Roosevelt school for high school
dances he said that several years ago
dances were given by the pupils with
out consulting the teachers. 1t was
found that these distracted the atten-
ton of the pupils. Now school dances.
he said, were held during vacations
only. and were supervised as Well as
possible. lie advocated the use o.
school buildings for dances because
it would make supervision easier, and
bring the teachers into social touch

DEMOCRATS PLAN
TO IGNORE TAFT

Washington. Nov. $3.50 far a,
actual achievement is concerned, the
United States might just as we'll be
without a president Tor the three
months between December 2 and
March, acknowledgements Of the SENATE
carry out plans formulated yesterday
by some Gof the most active leaders
Every recommendation made by the
president In his annual message will
be ignored. and every nomination OF
Judges. postmasters, commissioners
and departmental employees will be
held up by the democrats If their pur.
pose prevails. The plan Of the lead.
ers. epitomized. is to nullify the office
Of President for a period Of three
months. or until the democratic party
comes into full control Of all branch
esr Of the government on March 4.
It Is not due to any special resent
nient against President Taft. but be-
cause Of a new and original interpreta-
ton Of the constitution that the dem
ocratic leaders have decided to cut
off the white house from all avenues
of achievement.
New View of the Constitution.
They have come to the conclusion
that the men who framed the consti.
tuition. and who provided for a four
month interim between election and
Inauguration. were taking co%gnizance
of conditions that do not exist today,
They hold that at the time the con-
stitution was framed 1t was felt that
four months would be necessary for
an orderly transfer Of the admins
tration from one president to another.
the. spreading Of Information as to the
result Of the election. and the stage
coach trips Of the electors from all
parts Of the United States.
Because Of the facilities for spread.
ing news in a few hours to all parts
Of the country. and the modern trans
portation facilities. the, democratic
leaders feel that there is no longer
any excuse for q president retaining
his full powers after the country has
voted in favor Of the substitution OF
another nan and another party. They
hold that the country. not only In the
recent election. but in the COMPRESSION.
al elections two years ago, rejected
the republican party. and that It would
be unfair for that party, or its repre-
sentative in the white house. to con-
tinue to exercise the %appointive pow
err. In view Of the fact that another
party has been commissioned to take
charge Of affairs.

PURELY SPECULATIVE FEAR.

Although Mr.. Taft is the accredited nomi-
nee of the Republican party, the convention
OF South Dakota has deliberately named Roose-
welt mon Republican electors.
In case they should be named to the cleo
toral college and there cast their vote for an
other than the nominee of the party. a prece-
dent would be made which would meet a
long imagined contingency
Theoretically, electors are free agents. So
named as electors under the Democratic sym
Dol could vote for Republican for President
and racr rersa But for years it has been
thought that the time would never come
when political desperation could operate to
put such question to the practical test against
ali political usage.
Finn. at Chicago. suggested that Roosevelt
would look to the electors despite the action
of the convention, but il was supposed that
he spoke in the heat Of conflict. It now
seems he was in earnest Folly could not
possibly go further
1t is scarcely necessary, however. to seri-
ously consider the consequences which would
follow on action such that suggested In
case of President SO named against the
express wish OF the people of the States,
there would be direct invitation to revolu-
ton The people vote for the President,
with the electors as their formal representa-
tjves II electors should attempt TO rise stu
perior to their popular commission, they
would destroy either themselves or their
country We are not much concerned with
this proposed application OF an old theory.

hundred claimants TO the bills ownership

Ito Commissioner Waldo. He was immedi-
ately flooded with letters demanding it's re-
turn. After nearly year. during which a
thousand persons explained in detail just
how the bill had escaped them, he has turned
II TO the who established the better
claim.
