EXECUTION OF FIVE
CONDEMNED BY SOCIETY
Says State Sets Criminal an Ex-
ample in Taking Human Life

NEW YORK.-The execution of five
men in the electric chair at Sing Sing
on September is the occasion for the
issuance of statement by the Anti
Capital Punishment Society, at 44O
Fourth avenue, protesting against the
practice of the state in taking human
life The statement also protests
against the alleged misrepresentation
OF those favoring capital punishment.
The statement says: Does any in
t1lllgent person believe that there will
be any reduction of crime in this state
as the result of these executions? The
criminal sees the state set him an
example in taking human life. And
there is at least a remote chance that
one of the five was innocent of the
crime for which he rendered his life
Ihe statement voices a vigorous pro
test against Misrepresentation of the
facts by the proponents of the death
penalty: 'In connection with the eff
fort to do away with such tragedies
through the abolition of the death
penalty, it is interesting to note in
Boston the Civic Alliance is actively
circulating literature in defense of
capital punishment. The leaflets of
the Civic Alliance are each a model
of unfairness and INSTRUMENTATION.
The statement challenges the impli-
cation that the voters in twenty-five
states have declared for capital pun
ishment, and asserts that the voters
in no state this year have had the OPP
portunity of declaring themselves on
the subject.

ARREST OF CLARA ZETKIN

Louise Zietz, member of the Partei-

sympathy with Clara Zetkin, without
openly protesting against her arrest.
The Social-Democrats of the 9Th
electoral division of Berlin, where
Georg Ledebohr was returned in 1912
by majority of 100000 votes, have
passed the following resolution: "This
conference of the 9Th electoral divi-
sion of Berlin protests against the ar
rest of our trusted and well-merited
leader, Comrade Zetkin, and expresses
it's warnest sympathy with our coura-
geous comrade"
Clara Zetkin is accused of simple
treason, not the high variety, based
upon a charge of seeking to turn the
women Of Germany away from their
patriotic duty.

Democratic organ at Elberfeld. has

YE PARTY COLYUM

When we "clang" our fibbe into
the air anent pikers, it was merely a
random shot, aimed at no one in par
ticular. We were, therefore, greatly
surprised to hear Com. C. w. G's cry
of anguish and can only conclude that
he must have been hit
c. w. G., we presume, denotes that
Charley Was Grouchy, which, being
in the past tense, wauld indicate that
he had gotten safely over it, and, con-
sequently, that it was merely a tenn
porary affliction. We sincerely hope
that the comrade is not constituted
of such inapt and impossible combi-
nations as to permit himself to be
permanently irritated over harmless
puns.
We could not help but contrast the
kindly reference to the Colyum by
our young comrade, Ulonska, in one
of his charming talks, to that of C.
w. G. 1t reminded us of something
we used to write in our copy books
during our knickerbocker days about
seeds of Kindness" which, if more
literally used, would do much to pro-
mote true comradeship among our
members so essential to the success
of the organization.
We might he able tn nrod q "moral,
from this but fear that Comrade C.
w. G. may not detect the odor and
thus more mis-spent effort would die
aborning.

Would wear for evermore the brand
of Cain.
