Moroccan CorruntIon.

Two main evils In Morocco are the
corruption OF Moorish Off cials and the
degradation Of Moorish women. The
Moorish officials are inadequately paid
and are liable at any moment to be
stripped and cast into prison at the
caprice OF their overload. The natural
result is that they make hay while the
sun shines, and by their ''pickings"
provide against the evil days which
are almost certain to be In store for
them. Says writer: Before they
take office they may be honest and
kindly men, but the knowledge that
they may at any moment fall victims
to higher power quickly corrupts
them, and they proceed to do as they
are likely to be done by. Each Off.
cial preys on the one below him, but
while each. for a short time at least,
enjoys power and prosperity, the poor
peasant is squeezed increasingly"

Attend.

Washington, Jan. president Taft,
members Of his cabinet, Admiral Dewey,
practically every naval officer on duty
in Washington and many prominent Off
cials attended the funeral of Rear Ad-
miral Robley d. Evans yesterday.
The obsequies were marked with full
military honors.
An unusual tribute was paid to the
memory of Admiral Evans by Emperor
William of Germany. As the special
representative of the emperor, Comman-
der Remain, the German naval attache,
attended the funeral and placed wreath
upon the bier of the dead admiral who
had been intimately known by the en-
peror
Early in the day the body was trans
ferred from the family home to All
Souls Unitarian church, the casket be-
ing wrapped in rear admirals flag
and the stars and stripes. The services
were conducted by President Taft's pas
tor, Rev. Z. G. b. Pierce. During the
services, the famous paul Revere" bell,
which rang out a warning to the minute
men for the first battle OF the Revolu-
ton, was toled.
After the ceremonies at the church,
eight petty officers from the United
States steamship Dolphin, preceded by
prominent naval and military pail bear
ers, bore the flower-laden easket to
gun caisson. A military escort was
commanded by Rear Admiral Sidney A.

EFFORTS WELL DIRECTED.

The efforts of the Barre board OF trade
to further the interests OF Barre grants
by means of campaign. Of publicity
should find considerable response, pro-
vided the people OF the city give that
cooperation which they are expected to
give. That cooperation will consist only
of sending out the little card circular
which the committee OF the board has
prepared. 1t is an easy way to indirectly
help your private interests by sending
out these enclosures in your business
letters, for that which helps the granite
industry helps Barre as whole. The
system of publicity ought to prove sue
cessful because of its simplicity.

ENTERTAINMENT OF MUCH MERIT
Given by Miss Trow and Messrs. Wheat
on and Bruce Last Evening.

At the Hedding Methodist church last
evening, Miss Allie Trow and Messrs.
Wheaton and Edwin W. Bruce, three
entertainers who are representative Of
the best local talent procurable, con-
tributed musical and literary numbers
which went to make up a New Years
concert program of rare enjoyment. In
clement weather did not interfere sufi-
GENTLY to keep a good sized audience
away and by 8 O'clock the hour of
starting, the auditorium of the church
was well filled with people. All three
artists who participated in the enter
tainment are too well known locally
to call for comment and their work last
evening was every bit deserving of the
liberal applause which followed every
number. Many Barre people, especially
music lovers. had looked forward TO the
occasion with almost eager anticipation
and the program selected by Miss Trow
and Messrs Wheaton and Bruce very
amply justified the high expectations.
The numbers were seven in all, Mr..

Mr.. Russell. who Il she author of

whose numerous magazine articles have
done so much to expose corruption in
high places, is now devoting bis ener
gies TO propagating Socialist ideas from
the lecture platform. His success in
this field promises to become as great
as that which he attained in journal
ism As Socialist candidate for gov
ernor Of New York state in the congress
sional elections of 1910. he polled
vote that surprised both Republican and
Democratic politicians. There is talk
in some quarters of his being made the
Socialist party presidential candidate in
1912. Mr. Russell is a forceful speaker
as we'll as a brilliant writer. His adj
dress here is the first of series OF lee
lures which are 20 be given in the

THE MOOSE OR ELECTRoCUTION IN
VERMONTf

The grim scene enacted behind the
prison walls at Windsor yesterday after
noon. when the state of Vermont took
the life OF Elroy Kent, who had been
convicted on the charge of murder, was
of such character as to cause Vermont
people to pause and consider whether
they have been keeping step with the
march of human progress, or whether
they have been welded to their idols in
the shape of statute that ought to
have been changed long ago.
Down through the generations, Yer
mont has chung to the death penalty as
the proper expiation of the crime OF
taking human life in the so-called first
degree; it has chung to the practice with
steadfastness that is born of disin-
clination to change, we believe, rather
than from firmly established conviction
that it is right to sacrifice a life for
life Therefore our statutes still call
for the death penalty which demands
that the punishment of death shall be
inflicted by hanging by the neck until
dead"
In carrying out the mandate that the
cond emned man shall be hanged by the
neck until dead" the officers of the law
were forced to go through a spectacle
yesterday afternoon which causes ono to
shudder in horror and aversion; and it
ought to turn the thoughts of Vermont
people into a demand for the change of
statute. That it was necessary TO again
string up a man, whose neck had been
only partially broken as he dropped
through the trap and fell to the floor
when the rope parted, is detail of the
Vermont style of execution that proves
its unreliability, as well as its brutal
disregard of the human life. Yet, the
officers of the execution thought they
had guarded against just the thing which
happened, thing that is bound to bring
upon Vermont deserved censure for ad-
herence to statute which reeks Of the
ancient lust for blood, which cries ven
geanee on the condemned. The case goes
to show that in spite of the best laid
plan of sheriffs hanging as a mechanical
method of punishment is far from per-
feet and is more likely to be accompanied |
by horrible details than the more mod
ern and less brutal system in vogue in
those states which still stand as Yer
mont does in clamoring for human life.
Therefore, without at this time asking /
that the legislature change the capital !
punishment law to one STIMULATING life
imprisonment, The Times respectfully |
urges the lawmakers at the next session |
of the legislature to tear down the gal |
lows and replace the moose with the cleo
trio chair. If society still insists that
the proper end of the murderer ia to
remove him from society by sacrificing
his life, let us by all means be as little (
british in the process of taking that
life as possible. The electric chair form
of execution is not attended by the hor.
rible possibilities of the gallows. Let's
be as nearly human as possible in get
ting rid of those murderers who are sin.
gled out of the many murderers as UNI
worthy of life. Other Elroy Kents with
out loyal friends to aid them may fall
Into such ill-favor as to bring them to
execution.
