At Atlantic City the other day a

what he said was listened to with

Dana Is eminent In his profession.
Moreover he is of that subtle branch
CT the tree of Therapeutics which

He believes man or woman has
less need to consider the dangers OF
occupation than the manner of living
during the unemployed hours.
Discussing the forces that make for
sound nerves and clear brains, this
man who has been the arbiter Of
thousands OF destinies, whose word
has opened the gates OF hospitals for
the insane to permit persons to go
free, and whose verdict has closed
those gates upon many others, said
Man needs social life as much as
he needs air and food. A man Is like

public sentiment gave him another domicile.
II is not suggested that Kennedy was armed,
but 1t will he noted that the calm OF Heney
was that OF a man whose hand rested lightly
on the place where a revolver Is carried. The
man himself is, of course, insignificant He
is of no more real force or influence than
any other "gunhghter" Like most of his
tribe, he can doubtless be depended upon to
pick his victims from the number of those
who carry no weapons. But the presence of
Heney as leader in the progressive move
ment" is Illuminating. He stands for the
force and arbitrary judgment of the revolver.
The candidacy of his chief stands for analag-
ously the same thng-the appeal to violence,
the dependence on the method of the thug to
give vitality to political principle. II viii be
a matter of growing interest to observe in

THE HARMONIOUS LIFE

time ever knew the news of a death
to be received in other than spirit
OF soiemnity. There came to every
person who read of II the conviction
that a life so wasted was rot
worlds. nor even a neighborhood'
loss. Yet IL we weigh with just scales
the person who Is unhappy except
when surrounded by faces and with
IN sound of voices, we must con-
cede that there is in him a greater
kindness than is in his retiring
brother, Weaker, he Is more amiabie.
DIR. Dana says: Man needs social
life as much as he needs air and
food" but he does not say he needs
1t as constantly as air nor as regu-
larry as food. The inference Is that
he needs just enough contact with
other minds to avoid morbidness, and
not enough to cause him to lean upon
others for his ideas or his happiness.
Not too close he warns, should
the human trees live, lest the roots
encroach and rob each other Of nour~
ishment" That Is what happens to
the minds that have too much So
ciety. too little solitude. Like leeches,
they attach themselves to others, de-
vouring the mental substance Of
these whe permit themselves to ba
leeehed of time and thoughts.

In solitude we gather our forces In

MUST RUN OUR OWN CANAL.

We consider the fight against the retention
of the provision of the Panama Canal bill
which exempts American coastwise vessels
from tolls to be over-nice. The gentlemen
who contend that such discrimination Is in
violation of this countrys treaty with Great
Britain make a somewhat plausible case but
one which has no real practical reason behind
1t The treaty was mistake in the first
place; it is to perpetuate and accentuate that
mistake to consider it too seriously.
But the provision itself Is not to be con-
strued as taking away from the United States
the power to favor its own vessels. The
clause reads
The canal shall be free AND open, in time OF
war as in time of peace. to the vessels of com
merce and of of all nations terms OF
entire equality, so that there shall be no dis
elimination against any nation its citizens
subjects in respect of the conditions or
charges Of traffic or otherwise.
Admit that the language Is unfortunate
Does IL follow that this country has gone to
the trouble of building a canal only to make
a gift Of it in fee to the of the world? Is
not the reasonable construction that the pro-
vision against discrimination refers only to a

NECESSITY OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT


The refusal OF the Court OF Appeals TO grant
n hearing to the young negro girl convicted Of
series Of peculiarly brutal murders and the
respite given her by Governor Mann bring
forward again the perplexing questions OF
discrimination in the case of women, so far
as the iufictton of capital punishment is con-
cerned, and the imposition of the death PEN
atty in any case and for any crime
Despite the logic of the doctrine of social
protection which sanctions the death penalty,
the idea of executing woman is repulsiye to
the average man. This is so eVcn though
the women themselves, by demanding equal
rights. invite equal punishment. The hab.
of centuries, the age-long thought of woman
as the weaker vessel--even though she be a
black woman one degree removed from the
brute-persists. We hope that the Governor
will find it in accord with his sound discretion
to save this murderous feminine from the
chair
Capital punishment itself is a different
proposition. Society must be cruel to be pre-
Served Although it is not apparent in Amer
lea. the land OF killings and homicides, that
the death penalty is a deterrent to assassina-
ton, it Ia yet to be proved that It's abolition
would not increase already notifying stalls
ties. II is true that life penalty to the
average murderer would be punishment more
severe that the minutes agony of execution
and the short suspense that preeedes it. But
the term of life Imprisonment is indeter-
inmate quantity. The effect Of crime is per
petual: its memory is evanescent. The dead
man ia dead but he is remembered only a
short while Officials change and the prison
remains. Sooner or later, most "ifers" come
out into the air through executive pardon. a
hundred circumstances combine TO free a
prisoner. where one operates to lock him up
The moment we make the punishment for the

Those individuals and societies which advo-

crimes should frst work to the end that an
exception be made in their case as to the
benefits of clemency, AT whatever fnciden-
