PUNISH WOMEN WHO KILL.

The obvious fact that male juries
will not visit the death penalty on
women who commit murder has evil
IDENTIFY opened the way for an epidemic
of such crimes-rnany Of which have
been cruel and brutal.
Day after day there are reported the
horrible details of ONE women Staying
her husband or male associate. Yet
no crime of this character has been
cruel and brutal enough to induce a
jury of men to punish the ~perpetrator
by visiting upon her the extreme pen
atty Of the law. On the other hand,
there have been numerous acquittals
in these Cases-which were nothing
short of travesties on law and justice.
The situation as regards women
slayers of men is growing more serious
every day-for such murders are null
tiplying.
1t has come to the point hat a jeal-
Gus woman may kill her paramour
without the fear of the death penalty.
1t matters not how depraved the slayer
may be-and how d~efenseless the deed
men cannot be induced to render a
verdict of murder in the first degree
against the culprit. They simply will
not do it.
Those who have to deal with a great
number Of these cases are trying to
work out a way to make it possible for
the woman who does murder to be
punished-just as men are punished.
States Attorney Wayman of Chica-
go-moved by the appalling condition
in that city-is taking steps to have the
Illinois constitution so amended as to
make it possible to empanel women
juries-to the end that women charged
with murder may be tried by their own
sex.
Few murderesses would want to be
tried by a jury composed Of women
for sentiment or sympathy would have
little effect in the verdict of such a
jury. 1t may be that his would be a
good way to vindicate the law and give
proper protection to society.

vERMoNr's VOTE.

The democrats are getting a great

.Sheyenne Star: Every one recog-
Mes L. B. Hanna as benig an able,
energetic man, and that his canvass at
the primary election was fair beyond a

the voters of North Dakota for their
chief executive, that he is capable M
honest, and that his will be a business

Vote for l.. B. Hanna.
Powers Lake Echo: Next Friday the
Roosevelt progressives will meet at
Fargo to nominate a state ticket for
North Dakota. These so-called pro-
gressives registered as republicans last
spring, and mad affldavit that they
were republicans. They took ar active
part in the party primary against the
nomination. OF Theodore Roosevelt for
president. In June they were still re-
publicans and voted as such at the pri-
mary which nominated L. B. Hanna
for governor. They, or some of them,
attended the convention at Chicago as
republicans and labored to defeat the
nomination of Roosevelt, the man they
now acclaim. Their purpose next Fri
day is the defeat of J.. Z. Hanna If 1t
can be accomplished, because, forsooth,
he refused to follow Roosevelt out of
the republican party. They will name
a state ticket that can be used by them
for trading purposes, and they will
trade everything on the ticket to defeat
Hanna's election. They will prefer the

cause they are playing the game for
profit. They have no hope of carrying
North Dakota for Roosevelt, but they
may turn 1t over to Wilson. And two
years hence these same political bolt
ers will be found swearing allegiance
t. the republican party, take part in
the primary, and If beaten there, will
organize another new party, but they
will not defeat L. b. Hanna this year.
Lansford Journal: II Aaker is al
lowed to run for governor on the pro-
gressive ticket L. b. Hanna will be the
next governor of North Dakota as sure
as there Is an election this fall. Which
only goes to show that there are some
men who will do anything TO kring

to the people. We hope that Hanna
will be triumphantly elected in Novem-

bring this about The Journal will do 1t
cheerfully.
