DEATH CHAIR MORE HUMANE
U. S. Supreme Court Upholds 1t as
Against Hanging

Washington, April 6.-The Supreme
Court has affirmed the judgment of the
highest. court of South Carolina in the
case of Joe Malloy, negro, convicted
of murder, who appealed from the
sentence Of death by electrocution on
the ground that it was less humane
than death by hanging and that the
law substituting electrocution for hang
ing had been passed after his crime
was committed and was therefore ex
post facto as to him and unconstitu-
tional.
The South Carolina court found as
a matter of fact that electrocution was
less painful and more humane than
hanging and denied relief. The Supreme
Court in an opinion by Justice Nc
Reynolds affirmed this judgment yester'
day.

The Star is glad to be informed
that the legislature gave the state
board of health some help, though not
near as much as that noble institu-
ton deserved. 1t has been said often
in the last two years that the state
of Florida would help save the farm
er's hogs from disease, but would not
help to save the farmers children.
While we fear this stigma will not
be entirely removed in the next two
years, the state board seems to have
somewhat greater means. There IS
problem that greatly concerns the
thinking men and women of the state,
tho it does not concern the needless
Notwithstanding the fact that
they are probably the element most
affected. It regards the states duty
to look after the health of those who
are partly or entirely unable to meet
doctors bills and buy medicine when
they or members of their families are
sick. 1t can't be gainsaid that it is
the duty of the state to do all in its
power to preserve the health of its
citizens. The state board of health is
doing what it can on this principle,
more by trying to prevent disease
than by curing the sick. 1t has not
the means, of course, to do all that
should be done, or indeed any but a
comparatively small part of it; but it
is doing what it can. In this work it
is aided by nearly all the physicians
of the state. Nobody can estimate
the immense amount of unpaid work
the medical profession does. Cases are
continually coming up where people
must have help they cannot pay fo1
or die. It's seldom indeed we hear OF
any person dying from lack of medi-
cal or surgical aid. And there is an
other large and increasing class
which needs preventive treatment. A
case of tuberculosis of course, means
that unless carefully and scientifically
treated other cases will spring from
it. A case of typhoid means thai
others in the family or community
may be attacked with the diesase
Smallpox is always possible, and vac
cination is a safeguard against it
Malaria and hookworm weaken tn,
system and render it more Vulnerable
to tuberculosis or other malignan
disease. The great increase in popu
lation renders all these things NOR,
dangerous than they were twenty o
ten years ago. The legislature die
we'll in helping the state board, but i
would have done better if it had help
ed it more. Keeping the people il
good health is one of the most i'm
portant things a state can do.

SOME ARE SENSIBLE

In discussing the second American
note, most German papers are violent
toward the United States, but at least
two show a -praiseworthy spirit of
moderation The Morgen Post says:
'The note is filled with tones of
heartiness and friendliness and seeks
to open and smooth the way for fur
Their negotiations. The offer to medi-
ate between Germany and Great Brit
ain will unquestionably be gladly ac-
cepted by the German government
and if mediation fails it will be Great
Britain's fault"
The Morgen Post praises the up
rightness of the United States and
hopes it viii be possible to demon
strate that Germany is acting within
her rights.
The Tageblatt says: 'It cannot be
seen why the German government
should not be able to enter into dis
cussion with the American govern
ment concerning another kind and
manner of naval warfare. This posi-
bility is increased by the American of
fer of mediation with England. The
answer will not be ready for severa
weeks, but it must be said that the
German people now, as before, lay
great weight on undisturbed relations
with the United States, whose war:
of liberation they once joyfully greet
ed and within whose borders million:
of Germans have found new homes

After reading the Times-Union
with great attention since the sinking
of the Lusitania, we are forced to the
conclusion that it would forgive the
Germans for the act if the United
States would only turn in and whip
Great Britain. 1t seems to be of the
same opinion as Hobson, but is not
so outspoken about it.
