An Ex-Governor's View of Capital Pun
ishment.

The American Magazine has been of
fering prizes for the best letters on
capital punishment and the prize. win.
ming contributions are published in the
June issue. The first prize was won by
j. Frank Hanly ex-governor of In
diana. A portion of his letter is repro
duced as follows;
81 have read and thought much upon
the subject OF capital punishment. Six
| times in my life have faced the respon-
sibility of its infection, holding within

corning it are deeprooted and firmly es-

But it was not mine to use at will or TO

lie reasons. / had no right to suspend
law duly and solemnly enacted, simply
because my own personal conviction did
not accord with its mandate. My duty
seemed TO me . to be aptly defined by
Justice Samuel f. Miller, of the United
states supreme court, in sentencing a
prisoner found guilty of murder, in a
case over which he presided while on the
bench:
1.-The penalty which the law attaches
TO your ofense is one which my private
judgment does not approve; for l do not
believe that capital punishment is the
best means to enforce the observance of
the law, or that, in the present state of
society, it is necessary for its protection
But ! have no more right, for that
reason, to refuse to obey the law, than
You have TO resist it,

clemency there were palliating circum-
stances that seemed to justify executive
mercy. In the other two there was no
fact or circumstance upon which to base
such action, and | permitted the SEN
tence of the court to be carried out. But
to my dying day I shall not be able to
acquit or Justify the law that imposed
the awful responsibility upon me.
''The death penalty is inconsistent
with the highest principles of American
penal codes or constitutions.
ut is a part of the old penal system
of torture and of bodily mutilation 1t
belongs to the days of the Inquisition, |
the wheel and the rack, the stake and |
the fagot; to the hatred and furies of |
a time long gone, fitting only the iron
hand of a Nero, the metallic soul of |

old books it has no place among the
just, mercifuI, and solemn enactment of

TON OF HIGH SCHOOL WILL
GIVE A BAZAAR, SERVING EX-
CELLENT LUNCH.

terrain all day on Saturday, December

interesting features of the bazaar.
The interest in the work of the high
school should not be confined to the
Parents Teaches Association. The
members OF the Alumni Association es-

work for its success, remembering their
own school days. And those who have
children in the Grammar school, indeed,
those who have Boys and girls in any
grade. looking forward to the day, when
they too, will be high school students,
should give the bazaar their patronage.
The Pensacola High School is max

Teachers Association is doing a fine
work. Let everyone in Pensacola, in
in the education of the youth
of the town give the High School
Bazaar to be held in the old Handy
on Saturday. December 3,
that patronage the cause deserves.

The pupils Of school No. 43 gave a
Thanksgiving entertainment Monday
night at the school house. A large
number of the parents and friends of
the pupils and of Miss Thornton their
principal were present and enjoyed a
splendid program. AT the conclusion

ONE CENT CASH
FOR KILOGRAMS
STAMPS ARE NOT IN USE ON
TELEGRAMS AND ONLY THE
CASH is ACCEPTABLE AT TELE-
GRAPH OFFICES

~ ~
No stamps can be accepted by the
telegraph offices in payment of the
government tax OF one cent. The war
revenue tax in this respect is differ
ent from that Of the Spanish-American
war. Parties paying for kilograms,
whether at the receiving or sending
end, are required to pay one cent ad-
ditionaI as a tax. IF a, message comes
collect the receiver pays the tax or If
it is sent paid, then the sender pays
one cent cash. In no case is a stamp
on the telegram necessary or accepta-
ole.
There seems to be a general mis-
understanding regarding this matter
and last night the Western Union sent
out to all it managers the following:
Jacksonville, Fla Dec. l, 1914.
Manager, Pensacola, Flo.
THE commercial general manager
wires that a number OF customers are
filing messages with revenue stamps
attached. Some newspapers have
enormously stated that the tax is
payable by stamp. If similar condi-
tions exist at your Office please bear
in mind that stamps cannot be used
to pay on kilograms. The law requires
US to collect on behalf of the govern
ment a tax OF one cent in addition to
the regular charges from persons pay
ing for the message and company in
turn has to pay the tax to the govern
ment. Telegraph companys therefore
must collect tax in cash and cannot ac-
cept revenue stamps in lieu of cash.
There are no stamps issued by the
government intended for use on tele-
grams
