DO IN New York, or by hanging as
they DO in Connecticut, is morally a
great deal worse than any besotted
criminal, who, in the heat of passion,
or from the lure of money or the prim-
tive call of sex. commits murder
IL seems to me one of the few mitiga-
lions OF the humiliation of disfran-
chisement that. so long as we women
do not vote. we are. at any rate, not
accessories before the fact of Official
murder as every male elector is, SO
long as the punishment OF death re-
mains on the statute books
Such law rs founded on the an
Client call for vengeance. An eye for
an eye and tooth for tooth" And
a life for life.
one OF the wisest things ever said
on the subject of violation OF law is
| that brief aphorism OF the great
French novelist. Balzac:
All crime springs from a defect of
reason II We accept this az true,
| IL would be just as intelligent to put
the insane TO death In the hope OF
abolishing insanity, as it is to muir
der the murderer with the notion OF
stopping murder.
But whatever We may think of the
inhumanity OF the death penalty, II
should be patent To every man ana
woman with sense of justice and the
faculty OF reason that she who sur
fers the same penalty under the law
must be able to claim the same rights
under it.
In those enlightened states of the
west where women help to make the
laws they should suffer equal penal
ties with men. But in the east. in
Connecticut, where the law still
classes women with children and i'm
beetles, let no woman be compelled
to pay penalty which II Is assumed
she Is not capable of infiicting, Let
poor, weak women" claim all the
privileges and exemptions Of their
weakness. Let us seek for Mrs. Wake
field and for every woman as she
needs it, the full benefit of the men
tai and moral responsibility which
the law assumes in us.
Till women are good enough to sit
in judgment upon their peers they are
not bad enough to be sentenced to
death by their legal superiors.

Man Represents Woman When the

WETHERSFIELD. Conn, Nov. 2S.,
They are going TO hang a woman
in the state of Connecticut. After
due trial by jury of her superiors,
Mrs. Bessie Wakefield has been sen
fenced to die March 4, 1914. She has
been convicted OF an infamous crime.
the murder of her husband, the father
OF her two little children. The actual
killing was not done by her, but by
man, her lover, who has since given
evidence against her. She was sen
fenced to die because she was assum
ed to be the instigatOr, the master
spirit OF the murder, the woman who
said to poor weak. masculine crea-
ture, GO" And he went. Kill.
and he killed.
SO the judgment of the brothers and
peers OF this poor. weak. masculine
creature is that the woman--his in
ferior legally--shall be hanged by the
neck till she is dead,
Yet. II this woman stood before the
state OF Connecticut. In any other
aspect save that OF a humanIbeing on
trial for crime. the state OF Connect
cut would assume that the man, her
associate, was the master spirit and
she. the woman. poor creature sub
ject to his will
Now ii would seem to be a matter
OF common justice that if man repre-
serts woman when the law is made,
he should also represent her when the
law Is broken. II he takes her place
at the polls he should take her place
at the scaffold. IL women and men
In Connecticut are equal only before

MARS INHABITANTS
START CONTROVERSY
Two Scientists Engage in Heated
Battle of Words Over
the Subject

BOSTON. Mass. Nov. 2s.-Two no.
ted authorities In the realm of az
tronomy. Prof. Edward Charles Pick
ering, head OF the Harvard observa.
tory, and Prof. Percival Lowell. own
er or the famous observatory at Flag
stan, Artz.. have taken issue on the
question OF the Individuality of the
planet Mars, which promises TO rouse
worldwide controversy among sci
entists.
NO astronomer In good standing
believes that there Ii sufficient EVIL
dence as yet to warrant the belief
that intelligent life exists on the
planet Mars" declares Prof. Picker
ing Prof Lowell has used his i'm
agination too freely In making his de-
ductions. He has not used good judg-
ment."
DR. Lowell. in an interview. at
which Prof George Agassiz and a
stenographer were present, said:
These criticisms OF my deductions
are made by men who are not ex-
perts, and who. therefore, have no
authoritative opinion on the subject
Prof. Pickering says;
las one astronomer suggested,
there may be field Of cabbages on
Mars, but what good would 1t do us
to signal a field OF cabbages"
'All astronomers who have devot-
ed their time to a study OF the planet
are In accord as to the canals and
other evidences indicating intelligent
life there" says DIR. Lowell
While Prof Lowell makes no ref
erence In his statements to any in
dividual astronomer. he insists that
every reputable astronomer who has
faithfully studied Mars Is in accord
with his views that Mars is inhabited.
There Is not one such" he says,
who has not corroborated our dis
coveries'
Prof. Lowell has acquired an in
ternational distinction on the Mars
life theory" His findings indicate
that canals are undoubtedly the work
of human thought and human hands
and his photographs OF the surface
markings OF Mars, he says, bear out
these theories.
A few years ago Prof William
Henry Pickering. brother OF Prof.
Edward anu also a Harvard author
lily, worked out what he asserted was
a feasible plan for signaling Mars.
The plan Included the construction
OF series OF mirrors. to cost about
$l0,000,000, whereby the suns rays
could be used upon this giant reflect
or to flash messages to the neighbor-
ing planet.

A bill calling for an appropriation
of $8,389.78 to reimburse Beltrami
county for expenses incurred in the

to st. Paul tonight by County Audi
tor George. Mr.. George says that a

the bill. 's.. ~. .
Since his recent trip to the cities,
when he approached several leglsla-

has been going over the county books
in order that he might incorporate In
the bill an itemized statement Of the
expense of the county in the Dumas
trials. Mr.. George says that there
seems to be much sentiment in. both
houses in favor of allowing the bill.

has been bothering many people in

Bemidji for two days. On Tuesday
night, about ten o'clock. many farm
|ers were awakened by j. nodsaltk an
explosion. ana thought their build
ings were on fire because Of the brill
liant light. The shock was felt in
Bemidji and commented on at the
Commercial club meeting which was
then being held. zt 1870 zz...ss .ss
No one appears to know what
caused the shocA and light but it
seems generally accepted that me-
teor struck. in the town Of Liberty,
some sixteen or seventeen miles from

the light was most brilliant.
Several farmers saw the light and
felt the shock but saw nothing in the
sky before the shock s &
The theory most generally accept
ed is that meteor struck and the
light was caused by Its flying to
pieces from the impact. s.5

MED1rAT1oNs ON THE COW.

NEGOTIATIONS ON THE COW.
A contributor to the current issue
Of Farm and Preside writes:
s'The cow is deemed by many the
most sensible of her sex, and not
without reason. For the cow does
not flock to the cities to learn short
hand and sell dry-goods, but prefers
to stay in the country and make but
ter. Neither does she wear skirts SO
narrow as to restrict the freedom Of
her limbs. Nor does she speak be-
fore she thinks, and if she cannot say
anything good about her neighbors,
she says nothing.
"And finally, her outlook on life
is such as virtually to exempt he1
from worry. She will get, for In
stance, to measure nine or ten feet
about the waist and not mind 1t q
bit.
ut is only fair to say, however,
that II all her sex had feet like the
cows, corns would not be so common,
and by that token tempers would be
better. But Hypothetical speculation
Of that sort leads US nowhere. AZ .

things are what they are, and the
consequences Of them will be what
they will be. ]"
