Kaiser Wilhelm, a Man of Shame.

How about Kaiser Wilhelm. the
Leading man Tor villian?) in the great
tragedy with the world as its storc
and all humanity for it's audience.
VINO look on in dumb bewiderment.
shudderingly, sorrowfully? At tho
head of this ambitious, proflirate and
heartless driver of slaves, who is
leading to doom his country under the
slogan of Deutschland uber Alles."-
at his head the world has cast such
imprecations as would cause the thief
on the cross to hide his face i'm right
eouS shame, and in such tones ms
would cause dog, by their very
harshness, to duck his tail and stink
away. But we believe there is another
light, another side. We pity the EN-
peror-we pity him from the depth of
our hearts, and we mourn that n man
such as he, endowed with such now
ers, must use his faculties in such n
way and to such an end. We regret
that the realization is now forced upon
us that he has been permitted to drift
along through life without education.
and it is now and forever too late TO-
begin anew.
1t should be to us-to all right
thinking and right-knowing people
source of sorrow that Il being so
great, so powerful, must dcbase his
strength to such degree, and to sullv
the bright and shining name of ambi.
ton with deeds the world can never
forgive, and history shall ever re-
count with shudders.
With pity we must witness the inc
vitable downfall of kingdom whose
creed of existence has been warned
and moulded into sorry thing, whose
boundaries have been the birthplace
of more religious skepticisms and un-
beliefs than all the rest of the world,
and that we must look on while the
pride of an all too proud Emperor's
heart is shattered and crushed upon
the reefs that must surely lie in wait
upon such course as his has been.
We more than pity the man who
may never know and feel the love
of humanity--the fellowship and bro
therhood of man; who must go on in
life, win or lose as the case may be
in this bloody contest, in the face
of all the dumb lips and pleading.
bleeding hearts that vainly looked for
mercy where such things are not
known. We would look with fearful
compassion on this beast of militar-
ism, whose unfortunate posterity to
the end of time must bear the brunt
and stain of the blood of millions
shed for mans unsuitable desire for
power and ACKNOWLEDGMENT of worldly
things. No matter how supreme may
be his victory, or how lowly his de
feat, the power of the world-of n
thousand world's-cannot blot out
from even his memory, the cold, grim
faces of the countless innocent dead;
the feeble, suppiant hands of little
children, crying against slaughter;
the tear-stained faces, and broken
hearts of grey-haired mothers and
wives, with loved ones
lying cold and still in the path of
relentless murderer. All these, and
many more, such hideous fancies must
follow him all his days and torture
him at every turn. Hate should be
tempered with pity, and regret that
his lesson must be taught by higher
Hand.

ed, there were eight electpocutions,
and since 1909, the minimum number
for one year was seven lin 1910 and
the amazing maximum of fifteen was
reached in 1912. Hence the high an
nual average of 1910 of nine cleo
trocutions, with total in the six
years of fifty-four.
An. explanation of the increase of
approximately 200 per cent in cleo
trocutions since 1909 may be found
in the theory of Colonel Josepr f..
Scott, former Superintendent of the
State prisons, who held that the bad
effect of the panic of 1907 greatly in
creased the number of criminals.
The high-water mark of 1912. when
fifteen persons were electrocuted. is
partially explained by the fact that
August II of that year seven men
died in the chair-five of whom took
part in the murder of Mrs. Mary Hall
Of Croton Lake. A sixth man who had
a hand her atrocious murder had been
executed July 8. Thus six electro
crime. 0'''
Mrs. Martha Place, the only wo-
man in the list, died in the chair on
March 20, 1912.

Protests Innocence to the Last.

At 4:S0 o'clork on last Friday NOR
ming, a short while before the time
appointed for his execution, Becker
gave out the following typewriter
statement as his dying declaration,
signed in his own handwriting:
My dying declaration:
Gentlemen:
l stand before you in my full sem
ses, knowing that no power on earth
can save me from the grave that is
to receive me. In the face of that, in
the teeth of those who condemned me
and in the presence of my God and
your God, l proclaim my absolute
innocence of the crime for which
must die.
You are now to witness my destruc-
ton by the state which is organized
to protect the lives of the innocent.
May Almighty God pardon every one
who has contributed in any degree
to my untimely death.
And now, on the brink of my grave,
declare to the world that i am
proud to have been the husband CT
the purest, noblest woman that ever
lived-Helen Becker. This acknow-
ledgment is the only legacy can
leave her. | bid all goodbye. Father.
l am ready to go. Amen. Amen.

Farming With The Head.

Farming is an occupation largely of
the hand and heart. 1t would be more
successful if more head-work were
devoted to it, but the trouble is that
not uncommonly those who farm with
their heads quit the job with their
hands. All this is one of the results
of technical training that arouse re-
sentiment and opposition on the part
of the man who works with his hands.
