Death in The Chalr-''
HeartIess Meth DDS of Taking OFF
The WrOng-DOer.

Assuming the essentially savage
point of view that execution is the
only fate to be melted out to certain
criminals-what is the most humane
and speedy way to carry out this
idea? Is it electrocution-that mis-
cradle climax to many a life gone
wrong" that soul-sickening death,
suggestive of a dog whipped to its
kennel and breathing its last alone,
deserted and scorned? THE whole
procedure" writes man who has
witnessed several deaths in the cleo
trio chair, presents curious para
dox in our modern civilization and
culture. The prisoner, once in the
death chamber, the process of strap
ping commences and in few mo-
ments he is secure beyond all efforts
to release himself. He is Dlindfold-
ed and the service for the dead is
read aloud. A physician stands in
attendance, the electrician stands at
the switch waiting for the signal to
throw it in and let forth the death
dealing current. The signal is given
and the lever is thrown home.
There is not much to see. Those
who would witness a killing by cleo
tricity surely would be disappointed.
A deep whirring sound shoots into
the air, and for moment reminds
you of the humming of giant top.
The face of the victim is hidden
nearly completely by the headgear
attached to the chair, so that the
muscular writhing is kept from the
view to large extent. Only a mouth
can be seen clearly and the distortion
is enough to make you feel glad the
whole face is not exposed. AS the
current shoots into the body the tor
so Strengthens out with a bound and
swells until you think the heavy
straps are about to burst. The strain
upon them is intense. The fearful
voltage shot with lightning rapidity
into the body and circulating through
every vein makes the body culver
and vibrate SO quickly that the move
ment is scarcely visible. The current
is then lowered and the tension taken
off the body; but again the current
is turned and again the body stretch
es and bourCs, pressing hard against
the straps. Finally the lever is
swung back again, and what was once
man falls limp and lifeless, hud-
! died in a heap in the bottom of the
avenging chair. 1t is this suddenness
of death that impresses; this realiza-
| ton that a moment before there
stood before you a breathing human
being, while now before you lies a
| lifelesS corpse. The prisoner has
! solved the great secret"

.om the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
Colonel Bryan will be candidate
for the democratic nomination for
president in 1916, said Col. Thomas
B. Fielder of Atlanta during a recent
visit to Washington. The report that
Colonel Bryan will move his paper.
The Commoner, to Washington, to-
gether with his strong insistence on
the one presidential term plank,
lends color to Colonel Felder's as
sertion. But if the democratic party
keeps its pledges to the people there
will be nothing to the next nominal
ton but Wilson. If the party does
not keep the faith the victim had
just as we'll be Bryan as any one else,
and he is used to it.

There is screw loose somewhere
in the makeup of man or woman
who does not feel interest, to some
extent, in the joys of childhood. Even
austere temperaments must relax as
one contemplates the joyful eager
ness with which every little child
looks forward to Christmas. 1t is
the day of the year, matching the
coming of the circus, for the small
child, and few of us of mature years
can fail to fall into line with the
spirit of the youngsters.

The News has received from Con-
gresham Roddenbery the full text of
his speech in advocacy of his resolu-
ton to prevent the intermarriage of
the races. It is needless to say that
Mr.. Roddenbery's measure is along
the right line ana timely, ami his
views on the subject were forcefully
presented in his characteristic style.
Such an affair as the Jack Johnson
episode is a disgrace to the nation,
and should be made impossible.

Henry Gasaway Davis of West Vir-
ginia, who was the democratic candi-
date for vice president on the ticket
with Judge Parker, believes the time
has approached when he should with
draw his neck from the collar and re-
tire to green succulent pastures. His
has been an active life and he is
worth several millions and so, early
next year, he will resign the presi-
dency of the Virginia Coal and Coke
railway and also become less active
in politics. Mr.. Davis is nearly nine
ty years old.
