BY w. H. Auburn
New York, Dec. Sit is natural
that all the women of America should
be interested in the effort to save
Mrs. Bessie Wakefield from the gal
lows! Women who bring all human
life into the world know the value of
life as men can never know it. One
who has borne a child cannot lightly
see life destroyed
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, presi-
dent of the International Woman
Suffrage Alliance and by many con-
sidered easily the most brilliant of all
the great women leaders in the world
today, is the speaker. ...
Because the women create the
race, in agony and tears, they are. the
conserVers- of. the race declared
Mrs. Gait in discussing with me the
proposed hanging of Bessie Wake
field by the State of Connecticut.
THAT is why women oppose war
they know the cost of flesh and blood
and the value of human souls shaped
from infancy. And that is why wo-
men instinctively oppose the legal
execution of any human being.
81 would not plead particularly for
woman; l think, even though the
woman is the matrix of the race.
am disposed to stand for equality be-
fore the law, as l urge equality of
men and women in making the law.
But it is wrong to take the life
of any human being for whatever
cause. Who are we to destroy what
God has given?
Justice must be satisfied they
say.
what is justice?

BESSIE WAKEFIELD FROM THE MOOSE

another says it is that! And in a
murder case legal procedure is
gamble, with a human life as the
stake!
Mrs. Wakefield has been con-
demned by Judge and jury of men
under strictly literal Interpretation
of man-made laws. And, as under
stand the case, ! cannot think that
those laws would have been what
they are if women had had hand in
their making, or that they would
have been interpreted as they have
been it women had been in the jury
box or on the judges bench.
Suppose that Mrs. Wakefield
really shared with James Plew the
guilt of numbering her husband. Wo-
men would have taken into account
the forces that made her a murderer
the heredity and environment that
shaped her what she is.
''And for that heredity and en-
vironment society itself is to blame;
society shares her guilt. Society de-
serves the hangman's rope as much
as she.
IF society had taken an interest in
Bessie Wakefield previously to its de-
cision to hang her there would have
been no murder.
But there is said to be a serious
doubt of the woman's guilt. And GER
tainly so long as there is the slightest
doubt the irremediable step of execu-
ton should not be taken.
Let us keep Bessie Wakefield in
prison, if need be; but let us not
hang her, with all the brutalizing eff
feet on human nature-and then dis
cover, to our sorrow, that she was
innocent, after all.

A Fine Showing.

The showing made by W. R.
Wilson, who has charge Of Farm
Demonstration work Of the gov
ernment in this county, in the
recent small county Fair was ex.
tremely creditable and vindi-
Gated every claim made by those
who are advocating the latter
day methods in farming, as
taught by the experts employed
by the government Of the State
and the nation. Mr.. Wilson 3
showing on what can be accom-
plished by deep fall blowing
alone, was worth all his trouble
during the fair, the showing be-
ing made on both corn and cotton
crops. The display made by Mr..
Wilson was examided by hund-
reds Of farmers and we are con-
strained to believe that because
Of that display farmers are in the
field today, blowing deep for
Spring planting. Everything
else equal, it was shown that fall
blowing alone brought an in
creased yield Of 400 to 500 pounds
of seed cotton to the acre. The
crying need in corn is better seed
and that point alone in corn
growing, coupled with deep fall
and winter blowing, would the
first year increase the corn crop
Of. Henderson county at least SO
per cent. without the addition of
an acre to the land planted.

AS a Subscriber to the

Fair.

AS stated last week, there
will be a Henderson County Fair
held in Lexington next Fall,
the premiums on stock, products
and domestic exhibits to be paid
ont Of money given outright by
citizens who are willing to do
that much to encourage the
county enterprises which will be
represented in the premium list.
We are4willing to admit that
we do not believe sufficient
money can now be raised in the
county to purchase and equip
Fair grounds, but If any man or
set of men,will take up the mat
ter. we are willing to give all the
help in our power. So far as we
are concerned, we believe that
an.entirely satisfactory fair can
be held ON the public square and
the courthouse used for the ex.
hibition of products, while the
north sides Of the public square
will furnish ample room for the
stock exhibits. riding and driving
contests, etc.
It is the desire of those con-
cerned. that the Fair Association
be organized not latter than in
the month Of January, said or.
ganization to be composed of
those contributing the money to
be given In premiums.
There is opposition to the
movement by those who prefer
the purchase and equipment Of
grounds (which they know can.
not now be done) but the propo.
sition launched last week by the
Progress will be carried out.
