Every member Of the legislature
whether Regular Independent, or
Republican was elected on a plat
form that demanded that free rail-
road passes be not allowed for pub
lie officials. Every man Of them
was pledged to this policy. Yet
only 35 out Of 80 had the cour,
age or sense Of honor to vote for
the bill when it came up for pas
sage last week. In justice to hin

THE RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN.

The bill introduced in the house
by Representative B jach Of Shell
by county providing for property
rights for married wo rem Co.equal
and similar to those the law now
gives single women, is one OF merit
and should pass without any OPP
position whatever.
Measure seeks to bestow on
married women what are her natu.
raj rights in common with other
people in the matter of owning
property to do with as she pleases
to make contracts, sue and be
sued, and in short, to have those
unjust and inequitable disabilities
which harass and Cypress her re-
moved.
The existing law which makes ii
possible for a husband to control
the holdings of his wife to the ex-
tent of not only impairing but
squandering her possessions is
heritage of barbarism which
should be superseded by an equi.
table law that places a married
woman on equal footing with al
unmarried woman.
To say that a husband may ap
ply to his own individual use
without his wife's consent or owe
her protest, that which is hers,
an inequity and absurdity whic
should be changed and which thi
measure seeks to remedy.
Headed by some of the mo;
;, thoughtful and intelligent wome
in the state vigorous campaig
was made in behalf of the passag
of this measure, and it is remark
} able fact that practically no oppc
position was encountered durin
: several months activity along thi
line.
We hope the members of tt
Legislature will be as nearly unar
imous in their support of this b
as the people have indicated ther
selves to be, for the inequities
the present law are obvious tn
those people who have given Il
subject serious thought demar
its repeal and the enactment OF
measure that will give the WI
her rightful privilege in respect
making contracts and the right
hold aud control her property.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Those papers and people who
favor capital punishment do small
credit either TO their head or heart
0y growing red in the face and
announcing more intelligent and
effective punishment rs morbid
sentiment. We have yet to see a
single sensible argument advanced
in favor Of their barbarOus demand
that the state shall kill, kill, kill.
What are the arguments offered:
First, we are told that the Bible
authorizes it. Granted, So skill
fully can the devil quote scripture,
that authority is also found there
fo- polygamy, incest, drunkenness,
and every other crime or evil,
Those who so glibly quote the
passages about a life for a life, an
eye Tor an eye, etc., seem TO have
80 little comprehension Of the ridi'
culousness of the position as to be
oblivious to the fact that if the
Bible commands that the murderer
be killed. then the rapist must b'
ravished; the assaulter be assailed
the thief be robbed. If in a broi
| bite off a mans thumb, then !h,
state should bite of mine, if
goUge his eye, the state shoul'
poke my own orb from its socket
Such is tue absurd principle ad
vanced to support a position
which has to sustain it no bette
reason than blood.lust and bal
4 barrie vindictiveness.
Second, we are told that stat
killings are an ancient and estat
lished custom. Granted, and S
was every other illogical and hur
full ancient wrong.
Third, they say that there al
too many murders in Tennessee,
anyway. Granted. But leg
killing has long prevailed in tn
state: and here and elsewhere Il
actual figures show that hanging
do not make them less. In tn
very statement complete ADM
sion is made that their bIoOdine
has failed utterly as a prevent
of murder. Statistics show To
murder is not increased but Jesse
