CRIMINAL EXPLOITATION.

The demonstrations over the bodies
Of the FIVE murderers who were put to
death at Sing Sing On Monday last
were offensive 60 good taste and proba-
bly, harmful to public morals, and 1t
was q grateful relief to have them
ended by order Of the Board of Health.
They differed little, however, save i'll
the number Of the ghastly objects OF
attention, from many others which
have occurred here and elsewhere. In
deed, there have probably been other
cases in which morbid sensatiOnalism
and noxious resentment against law
and Justice were even more marked.
The inquiry inevitably arises whether
it is compatible with the best public
interests to permit such things to occur
ut the full liberty or license Of the
participants. 1t IS true that grief for
the dead Is regarded as sacred. and
that funeral rites are to be interrupted
or interfered with in any way only
under the strongest Compulsion, and
then with reluctance, and beyond ques.
ton personal and domestic grief over
the putting to death Of criminal IS
often entirely sincere. Yet IL must he
recognized that considerations Of pub
lie decency and morals outweigh those
of a purely personal character.
When man commits crime so
beinous that his life is justly forfeited
through either being put TO death or
imprisoned until death naturally oc-
ours, it Is only logical to regard his
physical remains as also being for
feited, and the state as therefore un-
der no legal or moral obligation TO de-
liver his body to his family or friends
for burial. This principle has already
been recognized and practised In
number Of cases. Probably ii Is not
necessary or desirable to maintain Il
in all. But II should he clearly under
stood that in thus surendering the
body of criminal the state Is perform
ing an act 10 which IL Is under no com
pulsion and which 1t may at any tlme
refuse 70 do. A popular understanding
Of this will tend TO prevent an abuse
Of such acts Of grace either in demon.

Paterson, n. j., Aug. a. 1912.


Tho salary OF the President was dis
crssed at considerable length in the lst
Congress, the Constitution having ALREADY
declared that the Chief Executive of the
nation should receive compensation for
his services. In tho mean time, Wash
ington had announced that he desired no
salary. Varying Views as to the amount
Of the salary were held by the members
of the lst Congress, the suggestions rang
ing from $4,000 to $4,000
The sum finally agreed upon was s25.-
900, and this remained tho compensation
until President Grants second tenn.
when It was increased to $4,000.
At the second session OF the 59th Con-
gress an act was passed appropriating
$4,000 "for travelling expenses OF the
President of the United States. to be ex-
pended at his discretion and accounted
for by his certificate solely"
In the second session OF the Goth Con-
gress the SALARY question again came up.
II was finally decided to fiX tho amount
at $4,000. and do away with the special
appropriation OF $4,000 for travelling cx-
penses.
The President, of course. is allowed the
use Of the Executive Mansion and its
furniture and effects, but no provision is
made COR entertainments. Official or other
