| Gov. EBERHART is opposed to kill
ing as means of Furnishing crime
as was Governor johnson before
him. And the governor is not &C.
tuated by sentimental reasons al
many would have it appear, but by
sound common sense.
He differentiates between punish
ment and revenge. Society Furnishes
crime for the sake of self-protection,
to which 1t has an inherent right.
For society to revenge itself on
individuals is an absurd proposition.
And that is what capital punish
meDt amounts to.
The governor holds that capital
punishment interferes with the pun
ishment of crime by making convic-
ton more difficult to obtain. Where,
under state laws, the punishment is
death, jurors are not apt to convict
as readily as though the punishment
were mere deprivation of the &C
cused persons liberty.
While the jurors choice lies be-
tween liberty for the accused, or his
death, he will favor liberty rather
than death in every instance where
the proof or guilt is not SO over
whelming as to preclude all doubt.
As such overwhelming proofs are
not always forthcoming, even where
a reasonable certainty of guilt may
exist, the result Is that some who
ought to be deprived of their liberty
for the good of society are allowed
to go free in preference to being
killed.
Consequently, the absence of cap
ital punishment operates as a pro-
lection of society by insuring convic-
ton and imprisonment in numerous
cases where liberty is allowed be-
cause of being the only alternative
of the death sentence.
In his opposition to the death
penalty, governor Eberhart b
mighty solid ground to stand on, his

When an order il given fors500
or 1000 shares of any stock listed
on the New York stock exchange,
it is not always possible to deter
mine if the broker will bucket the
order. or in taking your margin, use
the stock against you. "But,n you
say, L only deal with old and reli-
able stock brokerage firms" Quite
true. only don't be SO sure they are
as reliable as you think they pre-
tend to>be. A year or so ago one of
the Oldest and most extensively adj
vertised brokerage houses was ex-
posed for bucketing orders. This
means briefly taking orders to buy
and sell and at the close of the davis
business, protect the side on which
you are long. 1t works out like
this: Mr.. A. comes in and buys 1000
q. B. d @ at the market on 10 per
cent. margin. The broker simply
makes memorandum of the order
and takes the customers money, re-
ally betting that the customer will
lose in the deal. In the course of
the days business the broker will
probably receive orders to sell short
800 of G. B. & @, SO he is long 200
shares and he protects himself by
placing an order with some other
broker for 200 G. B. & @ on a five
cent. margin basis.
