the death penalty, SO far from encour-

where it has long been established.
He cites the state OF Maine, for in
stance, where in 1910, there were
only three murders, although the
death penalty has been abolished
since 1888. There ,were 5000 muir

Mr.. Sutton has other arguments
in his arsenal of ammunition to use
when he comes to deliver his speech
on the bill.
This young delegate is type OF
the younger element of the House,
numerically IN the maiority-clean,
aggressive, progressive and enlight-
Iened. These young men will be
heard from in this legislature. Mr..
Sutton is a good sample. He is col
lege bred, eloquent, able, clear
headed and fond of work. When he
makes his maiden speech on the sub
ject of capital punishment, his
friends predict that he will stamp
his impress on the House as com
ing man.

already begun his experiments which
ultimately, after many yicissltudes,
resulted in the invention of the tele-
graph system. Morse had worked
for years on his invention, toiled long
hours in.o the nights with but scant
food and poor shelter, until with dis
couragement staring him from all
sides, it was almost certain that the
inventors efforts would come 10
naught. He had been subjected to
the ridicule OF his closest friends
and the public at large characterized
him as dreamer. Finding himself
standing on the very brink of his re-
sourcefulness, Prof. Morse Appealed
to his friend, John H. b. Latrobe,
general counsel of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, who became interested
in the Invention and who finally won
the assistance of Louis McLane, presi-
dent of the railroad, for the crest
fallen inventor. Permission VIZ
granted to lay the telegraph wires
along the Ball.more and Ohio tracks
between Washington and Baltimore,
for in those days the wires were laid.
instead OF suspended from poles as
now. Considerable apprehension was
felt however. that the highly charged
electric wires might have tendency
TO attract lightning and other agen
c!es of destruction, nevertheless In.
wires were laid When the stone
bridge at Relay, Md, was reached, it
was seen tina. laying the wires would
have TO be discontinued, so that the
plan Of string them on poles was
then adopted. And they were s,ru
on poles Tor the remaining distance OF
nine miles to Baltimore.
Professor Morse sought CON
gressional appropriation to assist in
defray!ng the expense OF building the
first telegraph line, and in this, as
we'll, he met nothing but discourage
ment. Finally, during, the last days
session of Congress the appropriation
was made, largely through the efforts
, Of the Baltimore congressman,
Wethered and Kennedy and their
friends. Miss Annie Ellsworth, who
had lent Prof. Morse perhaps his
greatest assistance in making the
telegraph possible, was granted the
privilege of composing the first tele-
graph message-the immortal words
what God Hath Wrought which
were sent by Prof. Morse himself
from the chamber OF the supreme
court in Washington to an operator
in the Baltimore and Ohio station in
Baltimore on May "a, 1874. The sec
ond message was written by Dolly
Madison, this being the first com
mercial message, and was dispatched
to Mrs. Wethered, Wife of the Mary
land congressman, conveying a mes
sage OF love. The first press message
sent by telegraph was addressed to
the Baltimore Patriot, leading pub
lication of It's time as follows:

Another public utility was also in
