HiDEous PUNIsHMENTs.
Murderers Were Once Buried Alive
Tied to Their Victims.

Old time punishment for offenses at
sea was most severe The code Of the
time of Richard |. of England, drawn
up for the government of his feet on
the crusades, provided that whose
killed any person Oh shipboard should
be tied with him that was slain and
thrown into the sea. And if he killed
him on the land he should in like man
ner be tied with the partie slain and
be buried with him in the earth
In Elizabeth's time thief was to be
ducked three times. towed ashore at
the stern of a boat and marooned with
a loaf of bread and can of beer.
Mutiny was punishable by the cul-
prit's being hanged by his heels until
his brains were beaten QUITE against
the shyppe's side.''
The penalties imposed for sleeping
on watch were progressive. For the
first offense the man was to be head
ed with bucket of water; on the
next occasion he was to be strung up
by his wrists and to have two buckets
of water poured into his sleeves: the
third time he would be loaded with
weights and bound to the mast, and
..for the fourthe time he was to be
hanged to the boltsprite. with can
of beere and biscotte of breade and
a sharp knife. and so to hang and
choose whether he would cutie him
self down and fall into the sea or
hange still and starve."
Among the rules issued by Raleigh
for the governing of his South Ameri-
can expedition in 1917 was that no
man should he allowed to gamble for
his arms or clothes ION the pain OF
being disarmed and made swabber
of the ship" A general punishment
for blasphemy at this time was for
the offender to be bound to the main
mast with an iron bit between his
teeth. the alternative being scraping
of the tongue. All sorts of odd and
frequently hideous punishments are to
be found described in old manuscripts.
In 1775 a man found drunk aboard or
ashore was taken care of until the
following morning when in the pres
ence of the ships company he was
presented with a pint of salt N-er.
which he had to drink.
The dreaded cat is probably the
best known of these old naval pun
ishments. Whipping was provided for
at least as long ago as the fifteenth
century. and in brakes time the reg
ular trouncing of the ships boys by
the boatswam on Monday morning
was regarded as the only means of
insuring fair wind for the rest of
the week.-Chicago News

One of the leading Roosevelt men
in New Jersey during the spring was
Ex-Governor Stokes He is acting in
anything but a crusader spirit in
declining to join the third party, but
the reason strikes you in the face
when you read that ex-Gov Stokes is
after a United States Senatorship. So
is the modern John Brown of Kan
sas, Gov. Stubbs, who remains a re-
publican for the senatorship's sake,
but at the same time proposes to fol-
low the leader of new party which
is not even to have the republican
name. Being both in and out of the
republican party at the same time
will be the razzle dazzle of the politi-
cal year Ex-Gov. Stokes suggests a
queer arrangement for giving New
Jerseys electoral vote to Roosevelt or
TAFT, according to the size of the re-
publican vote cast for either, but why
should Mr. Roosevelt run on repub-
lican ticket now that he is out of the
republican party, and cannot be made
the republican party's presidential
candidate by anybody or by any COM
bination of somebodies?

For President,
WOODROW WILSON
of New Jersey.
For Vice President,
THOMAS R. MARSHALL
of Indiana.
WHY SHOULD HE RESIGN.

If Woodrow Wilson is elected Presi-
dent in November his retirement from
the Governorship of New Jersey will
follow as a matter of course. But
there is no call for his resignation
now and no conflict of official interests
or duties which would dictate such a
course.
Cleveland was Governor of New
York when nominated in 1884 and
held that office through the campaign.
Garfield was United States Senator
elect when nominated in 1880 and did
not resign until after the election
Tilden was Governor of New York and
Hayes of Ohio when nominated in
1876, and neither resigned before the
election.
Governor Wilson is said to ibe unde-
cided in the matter. He has no rea-
son to be. Why should he resign
No sense of propriety can suggest it
and precedent is uniformly against it.

WILSON'S BROAD APPEAL
The practical wisdom of Governor
Wilson's nomination is asserting it
self more every day Of all the men
that were available for the Democrat
ic nomination, none was so we'll for
tilted as the New Jersey governor to
meet the requiremnts of the country
and the party
That he has the confidence OF the
business interests is shown by the
fact that his nomination did not cause
the slightest disturbance in the imam
cial centers that are supposed to be
barometers of the business welfare.
All the big corporations are work
ing almost to the limit of their capa-
city. The Baldwin locomotive works
of Philadelphia, which employs l3,00o
men IN one plant, announced within
the week that it would work to capa-
city for a year to come on present or
ders.
Every day sees the conversion OF IN
fiuential Republicans to the Cover
nor's allegiance, notable among whom
is G. r. Crane, the Chicago million
aire, who long supported Roosevelt
Added to these favorable signs the
government crop reports point to q
bumper yield, so it would seem that

tion of the noted Princeton man to
