part. relates to food. so that this utter ance which is accepted by some as an exhortation to kill, becomes solely an admonition against cannibalism. It is Furthermore worth while to reflect that the highest authorities on biblical transIations concede that prior to the fifth century no version of the Bible contained the words, ''by man. Thus it is conclusively proven that the so- called scriptural direction to kill the murderer has had two of it's most i'm portant words interpolated by men.
 "If. however. we accept in a supposi- tious way the argument of those people who still contend that "Whoso sheddeth mans blood. by man shall his blood he shed" in mandatory, then to be con- sistent, we must admit that all other messages of Scripture similarly worded are equally mandatory. For example. "AH they that take the sword shall per ish with the sword; ''whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days" If a1l these passages are commands. then let us hasten to con- cede that justice and reason have de- parted from the earth, leaving the null hilarious affairs oI mankind to be con ducted by rule and rote untempere by mercy and common sense.
 Now, with a view of giving perma- nent quiescience to that biblical shib boleth by which certain well-inten- toned but deluded individuals endeavor to make the Creator a party to mans brutish perversity. we may profitably dwell for a moment upon Gods own treatment of those early chroniclers and rulers who shed mans blood" Straightway, we learn that Cain, after staying his brother, was merely sent into a far country. Moses, a murderer and inspirational writer, continued in high favor with the Almighty. David, likewise murderer. died not from the shedding of his blood by a government intent upon retribution, but became deceased in a perfectly natural way after long life filled with riches and honors. And so it was with many oth- CT characters who were given a prom inent place in biblical history. notwith- mans blood" Surely we should not attribute to the Most High the issu- ance of an absolute command which was so nagrantly disregarded by his chosen followers and human instru- ments.
 And moreover by that same cove nant. which is held by some professed Christians to sanction the exercise or capital punishment. every Gentle is eX- plicitly commanded to "eat no blood"; vet there is occasion to observe that notwithstanding this biblical command

those who offer a defense of the death ,pnalty is the necessity of deterring others from the commission of crimes of violence. While it is more or less natural that human beings desrous of insuring the fullest measure of secur- ity and happiness for all, should have leaped to the conclusion that a shock ing penalty would act as a deterrent, the tragic experiments of the past, in conjunction with the researches of scientists and psychologists in recent years, have not only very thoroughly disproved the contention that drastic also strongly indicated that violence is dealing with offenders begets violence in the pOpulace.
 If the argument in favor of the death penalty as a deterrent were sound, then to be consistent, govern ments should hasten to do away with every form of crime by making hapg- ing or electrocution the punishment for each violation of law, however petty or trivial it might be. This in a few decades according to this reasoning, law and order would be almost unin fringed and the millennium of morality would be near. How easy this solu- tion of a colossal problem would be, were It not for the Gisconcerting fact that the premises in which this train of thought had it's inception border very closely upon the absurd.

WHY LIBERTY BELLS
 ROUTE WAS CHANGED
Railroad Rates in Southwest Said to
 Be too High

The announce ment was made early this week that the itinerary of the Liberty Bell eastward had been changed from the southern to tkc northern route over which the west ward journey was made. No ex- planation was included in the an nouncement.
 The following dispatch from Phila- dclphia throws some light on the matter.
 PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1S.-De- claring that railroads in the south western states are demanding eX- cessive rates for the transportation of the Liberty Bell for part of it's homeward journey members of the committee of councils having the trip m charge will meet Eext Monday prepared to revise the itinerary which had been tentatively agreed Gpon.
 Although the return journey is 14O0 miles shorter than the northern route taken on the outward trip, the transportation charges are much higher and. it is declared, that sev- eral 01 the proposed side trips may be abandoned. For instance, it is pointed out by members of the com mittee that a rate of sS mile is de- inanded for the s5 miles between Maricopa. Ariz.. and Phoenix, while

parole system which I inaugurated when I assumed office as governor was entirely successful. Out of the hun dreds of paroles granted very few failed to lead good lives.
 Within the past few weeks we read in the newspapers of a man who had made an attempt on the life of another man being piled with questions until he was too weak to talk, then being walked up and down the corridors of his prison to revive him, then piled with questions again and subjected to God alone knows what else in the admins tration of the third degree. Later the prisoner was found on the floor of his cell with his skull crushed in.
 Whether he was murdered or Wheth- CT he really committed suicide l do not know; but this I do know, that the suicide of any man would hardly be unnatural under such circumstances and the treatment accorded him. be- fore conviction would have been dis grace to our civilization even had it occurred even after he had been tried and sentenced.
 Tn the south the lynching of a man for the unmentionable crime is a pro- tection to our civilization, while the third degree violates the letter of the constitution in it's most vital point"

STATE TREASURER'S
 HOME IS RANSACKED
 BY WEST END THIEVES

Discovery was made last night that the residence of State Treasurer Nit Simms. at 1886 West Washing
 ton street, had been entered and thoroughly raRsacked. The police were notified and made a search of the premises, but owing to the fact that Treasurer Simms and family are away at the exposItions, it was i'm possIblye to determine whether any thing of value had been taken.
 This is the fourth or fifth burglary to be reported in or near West Capi- tol in the past week. On Tuesday evening the residence of Con P. Gro min, state law and legislative refer ence librarian. at 2101 West Wash ington was entered and ransacked. MT Cronin and family had gone down town and on returning saw a light on the second floor. Before they reached the house the intruder jumped from a window to the porch roof and from there to the ground An investigation revealed the fact that nothing of value had been taken.

Louisiana Senator Opens Southern

Muskogee, Okla, April 26.-Devel

state commerce commission or other
bodies, offers the escape OF the Uni
ted States from excessive railroad
freight rates, according to Senator

National Rivers and Harbors associa-

Senator Ransdell pointed out that

How American
Farmers are Involved
in Russia S Struggle

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, Herbert
Quick, editor OF that publication,
writes as follows, explaining why Am
erican farmers have a direct financi-
al interest in Russia's struggle to get
to the Mediterranean:
las this is written, the greatest
battle which ever took place between
warships and shore Notifications is
being fought in the narrow waterway
from the Black Sea to the waters Of
the Mediterranean.
1T is a battle for wheat. It's out,
come will affect the price OF every
bushel Of wheat and other grains now
held in the United States, and every
bushel harvested next season.
"A glance at the map of Europe
shows that this must be SO. Russia
is a great wheat growing country.
There is now on hand there a huge
supply of wheat which cannot get to
market-from 125,0OO,00O to 175,OOO,-
900 bushels.
1T cannot get to market because
Germany controls the waters and
railways leading westward from Rus.
STA Russia will not sell to Germany
or Austria because she is at war
with them.
THE Black Sea is Russia's outlet,
and Turkey controls the Bosphorus,
the little Sea of Marmora, and the
Dardanelles, that ancient waterway
between the East and the West for
which battles have been fought for
thousands OF years.
Wheat has gone off several cents
bushel because the Allies have
smashed the forts at the entrance Of
the Dardanelles. The American far.
mer's pocketbook is vitality affected
because England has built great
ship, the Queen Elizabeth, which
brushes forts as did the German
siege guns in Belgium. And yet there
are those who say the United States
can keep out Of entanglements in
world politics!
THE map Of the world is changing.
History is turning as on a pivot In
this war. And We as farmers VIII
find the price of feed and the reward
Of our labor changing with the map
and the course of history"

First Breach Of
Promise Suit in
Japan's History

Toxic, Japan Miss Hede Nozawa
has won $4,000, by the award of
the highest court of Japan from Soz-
ahira Vanaki, for breach of promise,
which is not only the first breach of
promise case to be adjusted in Jap
an, but a long step forward In the
recognition of the rights of womeL.
who, under the old regime. were c,p-
sidered more or less as chattels, as
they still are in most Of the o,ieut.
Under the existing law, a marriage
Is not valid unless registered and
registration is not compulsory or ev-
en- usual. Miss Nozawa had consent
ed to share Vanaki's house on the
condition that their union be entered
on the records. Vanaka put the mat
ter off for months, and then left the
house after quarreling with The girl.
Instead Of yielding to circumstanc-
es in the meek oriental way, MISS
Nozawa brought suit. One court
turned down her case. She cool; i TO
another Again she lost. But undis'
couraged, she went to the highest tri.
bunal In the land. Witnesses who ltd
arranged the union appeared for her
and the result was damages amount.

Big Annual
Circus Coming

To present an innovated amuse-
ment feature carries considerable
distinction nowadays. Particularly
Is this true when applied TO the cir
Gus as past decades have witnessed
very little change in the character OF
their entertainment.
The Al G. Barnes three ring wild
animal circus was the first tented
amusement enterprise to change the
old order of affairs and launch an
entirely original line of circus acts
and features. The venture met with
instant approval and the new shows
success has been phenomenal.
A troupe of over 600 educated wild
and domestic animals comprise the
entertainers with the Barnes show,
which is the greatest array of animal
actor talent ever assembled together.
Lions, tigers, leopards and jaguars,
Sahara camels, ourang outangs, ele-
plants, seals and sea lions, kanga-
roos, bears, zebras, horses and ponies,
dogs, goats and almost every known
animal work together In the rendition
of a unique, thrilling program.
SiXty-fve entirely new acts and
features are introduced, prominent Of
all being the groups of "a full grown,
jungle bred African lions presented
in one act by Herr Louie Roth. For
real daring and wild animal training
skill this act stands absolutely unriy-
aled. Many other thrilling wild ami
NAL acts are presented by a coterie
Of men and young women trainers.
Clean comedy is provided by forty
comedy clown bears, elephants, dogs,
goats, ponies, pigs, mules and mon
keys.
Performances are given at and
s p. m. and the mile long parade Is
presented to the public at 1880. The
Barnes parade is notable for the half
! hundred open cages of wild animals
shown. Six bands and three calliopes
supply music for the pageant.

tanned that most men have a number |

to let the boy try at different voca-
lions and when the one he seems best
adapted to Is found he should devote
all his energy to make 1t a success.
