HANGING OR ELECTRoCUT7oNo

For years past there has been a growing ten
dency on the part of progressive governments to
substitute electrocution for hanging.
number of States in this country have already
adopted the more expeditions and humane method
of capital punishment and it is doubtless only
question of time when hanging will be entirely dis
pensed with.
The ideas behind this change are far from being
merely sentimental They the outcome of
broader and keene- understanding as to the pur-
pose of all punishment they mark and higher
point of view in the advance of civilization.
Time was when the world regarded punishment
as an end within itself Those were the days of
the rack, the torture chamber, the days when con-
victed or suspected persons put to death by the
slowest and the most terrible devices to be con-
ceived.
We have progressed far enough to that pun
ishment is not an end within itself, but simply a
means toward the restraint of crime toward protec-
ton Of society and gradually coming to be-
eve that of it's chief ends should be the refor-
nation of the criminal himself.
There are students who declare that some day
this last named consideration will do away with
ital punishment entirely.
Be that it may, the truth remains that when
the laws death penalty must be inflicted, it should
be inflicted as mercifully as is possible.
1t should be nearly instantaneous and as
nearly painless as it can be made.
For these reasons electrocuton should supplant
hanging.
number of States, as we have said, have al
ready adopted this method of capital punishment.
Has not the time come when Georgia should do like
wise?
The humane and enlightened thought of this
commonwealth would doubtless indorse legislative
measure to that end. F
At the last session of the General Assembly
bill to this purpose introduced but because of
one circumstance another it not definitely
acted upon. 1t is to be hoped that some such
ure will be revived and passed next year.

THE BALKANS STAND UNITED.

Whatever undercurrents of dissenson there may
be- all surface indicate that in the approach
ing peace conference at London the Balkan States
will stand together against their common Turkish
foe.
Significant in this regard is the latest attitude
of Greece. The Greeks at first declined to become
a party to the armistice on the ground that its
terms were unfair to Hellenic interests and

Confirming this suspicion, the declaration
of Roumania that though she had taken no part in
the war, she would nevertheless demand her share

very neutrality that she asked reward.
These and other circumstances were taken to
mean that the allies growing jealous and sus-
picous of one another and that from this state Of
affairs Turkish diplomacy would weave an ultimate
treaty that would be distinctly favorable to Turkish
interests.

THE POULTRY SHOW.

From a standpoint of popular as well as, profess
sional interest the Southern International Poul-
try Show, which opens tomorrow at the Auditorium
to continue through the week, will be the most en-
gagng event of it's kind the South has ever known.
That is saying great deal, for the expositions
which have been offered under the same name for
several years past have established high records
of distinction and success. But the 1912 show will
undoubtedly surpass all preceding both as re-
CARDS the number and quality of birds displayed
and the educational scope of the entire enterprise
In this exposition every part of the Union will
be represented; even from the Pacific coast and
from Canada exhibits are arriving. There will be
some five thousand birds of practically every
known variety.
Whether is interested in poultry raising as
a business or merely as a diversion, he will find
this show worth while Indeed, though he be indif
ferent to all such matters, he will find himself
newly and keenly interested by the wealth of
exhibits.
On the educational side, the show will be par
ticularly noteworthy There will be daily lectures
and demonstrations by men of recognized expert
ness in poultry culture. To fanciers and breeders
this aspect of the show will have special appeal
Such an exposition means much to the South's
economic interests. 1t will stimulate hundreds of
people to enter the poultry field and whether they
do so on a very limited and homely basis or with
large and scientific plans the result will eventually
be greater production of good supplies at home

SIGNAL ENCOURAGEMENT FOR
THE EXPOSITION PROJECT

The proposed development of the city's Lake
wood property into great exposition center has
aroused the cordial interest not only Of Atlanta,
but of various Georgia communities, and even from
other states and sections are coming messages Of
encouragement
Such a response might naturally have been ex-
pected, for an exposition, or series of them, de-
signed on a generous and far-reaching plan, would
promote the progress of the state a whole and
would prove a new and effective medium for ex-
plotting the resources of the south.
The important fact now to be noted however, is
this: that if Atlanta gets squarely behind the ex-
position project and shows by list Of substantial
contributions from the public, well adequate
appropriation from the council. that she is in
nest, she may then count upon the hearty support
of the state and the section as a whole.
There is every to believe that Atlanta
sentiment will come vigorously to the support Of
this enterprise.
Merchants, manufacturers and business gem
orally recognize in this project opportunity to
advance their own interests and at the same time
to upbuild the community. Indeed, it has been
many season since there was proposed any under
taking SO characteristic of the distinctive Atlanta
spirit.
All omens point to a speedy and fruitful consum-
nation of the exposition idea.

MAKE THE NATIONAL GUARD
A GREAT RESERVE FORCE

The need of strengthening the National Guard
appeals more and more keenly to thoughtful men
who are conversant with the country's military
problems. It is to an adequate navy rather than
to a large standing army that we should mainly
look for national defense. Our happy remoteness
from the entangling issues of the Old World makes
large standing army unnecessary and other con-
siderations make it undesirable. But it is nonethe
less evident that the nation should have at its
command, in case an emergency should arise. far
better and surer means of defense than it pos
sesses
The United States now has only about forty
thousand regular troops excepting the coast arti-
Iery 1t is estimated that in the event of war
four hundred and fifty thousand more men and if-
teen thousand officers would be needed The
simple fact is we hopelessly unprepared to cope
with any first rate or even second rate military
power Yet, with the opening Of the Panama canal
and the widening of our place in international af
fairs military unpreparedness becomes vitality i'm
portant
How can this condition be met most prudently
and most economically? Not through maintaining
great regular army and thereby burdening the peo-
pie with expense, but through developing the Ma
tiona Guard into a force that will be ever
ready and efficient First in Importance, as have
such as the National Guard will constitute, if it is
duly encouraged.
To this end Congress should provide, not large,
but certainly a reasonable compensation for the
men and officers Of the National Guard. Since the
Dick bill became operative a number of years ago
service in this organized militia has called for
considerable outlay of time and energy the part
of the men who enter it. The duties and the
sponsibilities of member of the National Guard

Such a policy would be vastly economical
than would the maintenance of large regular

thousands of young citizens who, under present con-
ditions, cannot afford to enter the service. AS
matter of prudent patriotism, Congress should pro-
vide for this pay and by other also encourage
the development of the National Guard into strong
reserve force.

seeking trade in foreign markets. to ship under
foreign flags for, they cannot secure vessels IN TINS
country cheaply in Europe.
There is another shortsighted law which requires
a craft, flying the American flag to be manned ex-
cIusively by American sailors. This is contrary to
custom in every other part of the world and is prac-
ticaly impossible of fulfllment. 1t is another in
stance of the provincial policy Government has
pursued in this entire situation, and such, 1t
should be dispensed with.
Indeed, we can hope to develop merchant
marine worthy the name, to win the place to
which we are entitled in international commerce,
until we abandon the narrow, selfish trail we have
thus far been following for ways that are spacious
and enlightened. Happily there good omens
that such a course viii be taken by the Democratic
administration which is to direct national
affairs.
One of the shortest and surest way to encourage
a merchant marine of cur own is to cease dtSoour
aging it, to the hidebound restrictions that
now obtain.
1t might be advisable, furthermore as the Navy
League has suggested for the Government to en-
courage the building of merchantmen according to
navy specifications so that they could constitute
naval reserve Such vessels could be given certain
advantages under the Government, the carrying of
mails for instance; advantages which would not be
a subsidy, in the ordinary Of that term, but
which would go far toward encouraging American
enterprise in this important sphere. Certain it is
that the United States is grievously in need OF
naval reserve, and by some such plan as the Navy
League proposes both a merchant marine and
naval reserve might be developed
For the present, however, Southern interests
may content themselves with backing up as vgor-
ously as they can, the resolution adopted by the
recent Panama Canal Conference. Every chamber
of commerce. every civic and industrial body in the
section should join in urging Congress ito formulate
and carry into effect definite and practical legislation
which will give all necessary and reasonable en-
couragement to American merchant marine and
American commerce with foreign countries" 1t is
through such a policy alone that we shall be pre-
pared to reap due advantages from the Canal
