More Discretionary
Powers For Juri es.

l "SAe "a y IA \ 80
| A bill introduced in the Vir
ginia Senate recently by Senator
Frank S. Tavenner, of this dis.
trict, has been passed. which
will have the effect of allowing
a jury in capital cases to return
a verdict Of life Imprisonment or
death.
AT this time the laws of the
State provided that when per-
sons are convicted of capital
|crimes--murder, entering at
night, highway robbery and at
tacks on women-the jury must
return a verdict which means on
ly the death penalty, no option
being given as to recommends
ton for clemency or life impris-
onment.
The Tayenner bill, which was
passed, empowers the jury to re-
turn a verdict of guilty, but if it
chooses to impose only life inn
prisonment.
The law is welcomed by oppo-
nents of capital punishment, for
in it they claim to see a sign |
that sooner or later the state |
will abolish capital punishnent |
estirely.

LET JUSTICE BE DONE

Senator Claude A. Swanson
has introduced a bill into the
United States Senate entitled,
ga bill for the relief of GER
tain Confederate Officers. :"
This bill is intended to recon-
pense in part Confederate Of
ficers, who were confined on
Morris Island under fire of
their own guns and subjected
to inhuman treatment. These
prisoners claim that it was
done in violation of the rules
of war Of all civilized nations.
These men 600 in number
were not only placed under
the fire of their own guns, for
forty-two days and nights,
but weres-fed upon rations
consisting of four rotten hard
tack army crackers, one ounce
of fat meat and a half pint OF
Cruel or soup. The water OBJ
tanned was from holes dug in
the sand in their prison pen.
They waited until they could
collect a small quantity of i'm
pure water to quench their
thirst. The above is only a
part of the inhuman treatment
which these prisoners suffer-
ed. It was by order of E. M.
Stanton, Secretary of War. 1t
was IN response to a feeling
of hatred encouraged by the
U. S.. authorities and kept
alive by the circulation of
false reports respecting the
ill treatment of Federal pris-
oners in the South.
The United States authori-
ties had the reports of their
own officers contradicting
these false reports, but they
were as far sas possible sup
pressed. Even at this day,
many Northern people believe
that their prisoners were NAL
treated in the South, notwith-
standing the fact that careful
investigation shows that %
per cent. of prisoners confin-
ed in the North died, while |
but Is and two-tenths per
cent. OF Northern prisoners
died in the South. This in
spite of the difference in eli
mate.
The United States cannot
afford to have this blot remain
IN it's escutcheon. So far as
t is possible it should be re-
moved. ~.
Senator Swanson and Rep
-esentative James Hay should
receive the earnest thanks of
,very,C Confederate soldier and
# every relative Of q Confed-
.rste soldier for their efforts

ha ,dliny tso big appropriation
bills on the flo ,r of the House.
The confidence of the entire
House in Mr.. Hay was SO great
that in practically two ds,s OF
parliamentary work he Succeed
ell in having the House pass
these two bills appropriating a
total Of S95,172 900. l don't be-
l;eve that feat has ever been
duplicated in the history Of this
country. One of the bills was
the army appropriation bill,
which carried a total of S94,-
2l4,O 900. and the other was the
measure appropriating 5000
for the support and maintenance
OF the military academy at West
Point. | suppose one reason that
the House, Democrats and Re
publicans alike, had such con-
fidence in Hay was that, before
he ever allowed the army bill to
come out of the Military Affairs
Committee, of which lie is chair
man, he saved the country S1O,-
000, 900 i'll the handling OF ONT
4 bill. However, this is not the
main thing on which l am com
menting.
Hay called up the military
appropriation bill Thursday
afternoon shortly after on,

mentary knowledge, suggested
the possibility that he NIGH
