The defendent in the Dotson
case was given a nominal sem
tence of FIVE days in Jail for kill
ing her barber lover, her insani
ty plea serving her in good stead,
as was forecasted in these col
ums last week, Human life is
held of slight account in this
country still. But there is one
healthy sign in connection with
this case, and that is, that, while
the Jury was dominated it seems
by a morbid sentiment against
inflicting adequate punishment
on a murderess, yet not a single
paper, which we have seen, has
failed to condem the verdict as
miscarriage of justice. This
shows that the country s best
thought is coming surely and
strongly to the conviction that
safety for the commonwealth lies
in a program of even-handed,
swift and absolutely just punish
ment for every crime, whether
the criminal be male or female
That the press and public ideals
are iuster than iuries, are more
courageous than courts gives
hopeful promise of better things
For, though slowly, yet certain
ly courts and juries will come t
meet and discharge the obliga
tions which public sentiment de
mands.

A WISE COMPROMISE

Considerable adverse criticism
of the city council is going the
rounds, because of their action
in agreeing to compromise the
now famous lawsuit over the
Scott Survey. 1t is said that the
city had won its case in the
court of last resort; that there
was not the ghost of chance
for a reheariug and reversal;
that the council simply gave
away the peoples money; that
the city gave everything ard
gained nothing. In a literal lie
gal sense, we have no doubt but
this is true; but in the larger
meaning of true citizenry it is
not. There is every reason to
believe that the city has gained
that peace which is worth more
to our town than money The
losers of this suit were our best
citizens, fighting for what they
deemed not only their own rights
but the rights of their neighbors
as we'll They now agree and
every councilman is Solemnly
pledged to use all possible effort
to carry out, and enforce in good
faith the supreme courts decree
on this vexed question. If they
do this, and we believe they will
it will be worth more in the up
building of the town, in aCtua
value than any two or three hun
bred dollars we may have to pa,
in costs. In our opinion tn
council acted wisely and are to b
commended in that they have S
happily solved this vexing prot
