Function of State

Function of State
Above is the title of an article by
Frank Marshall White in the October
Is number of the Outlook. The func-
ton alluded to is the execution of
the death sentence. Mr.. White de-
scribes briefly but wildly an execu-
ton which he witnessed at Sing Sing.
In conclusion he quotes from Warden
Thomas Mott Osborne, recently re-
signed, in opposition to the practice
Of killing men in the name of the law.
II object to the taking of human
life," said Mr.. Osborne. "a sin is no
less "a sin because it is committed by
large number of people acting to-
gether as what is called society than
when it is committed by single in
dividual I have tried in vain to as
certain where crime becomes right
eous punishment. If in cold blood and
with generalization / kill man, no
matter how worthy my motives, nor
how bad the man, commit murder.
If third man has knowledge of
our plans, there are three of US who
commit murder. If thirty men form
a mob and plan to kill, it is still muir
der, even though they have blood
ritual which binds them together. And
exactly where is the difference in
guilt between thirty men and three
thousand or three hundred thousand,
who kill after certain legal forms
or rituals have been observed. I fail
to see. "
The warden gave four other rea-
sons why he was opposed to killing
men in the name of the law, but this
one seems sufficient. 1t is barbarous,
yet the warden fails to offer an ade-
quate substitute. In time, however.
the death sentence will be- abolished,
and the demands of society will be
met in a different, less gruesome and
more effective way.-Orlando Report

Claims
Over and against the facts, which
are of record that in the recount of
the votes cast in the June primary
it was discovered that w. v. Knott
had received the nomination of the
democratic party for the governor
ship; that the recount was secured by
a judicial investigation through the
supreme court; that in response to
the direction Of the court the state
canvassing board corrected its error
in issuing notification Sof nominal
ton to S. ]. Cats; that the state
executive committee has recognized
the binding force Of the courts de-
cision and has declared unqualified
support of W. v. Knott, is the one
and only claim that the people chose
S. ]. Cats at the primary.
The result of the recount shows,
without shadow of doubt, that no
one knew whom the people chose at
the June primary until the vote cast
was reeounted. Mr.. Cats did not
know, Mr. Knott did not know, the
people did not know. Without a re
count it was impossible to ascertain
the true facts. That recount showed
that Mr.. Knott was nominated.

therefore that Mr., Gatts was nouaina@

By ANN Isle.

There was once little girl who was
always the very last to get partner at
dancing school and the very last to be
invited to school festivities when the
were home.
BY the time she was 49, Bessie was we'll
aware of the fact that "obys weren't
specially interested In her." She had a
snub nose and a generous mouth and
twinkling brown eyes and a rather plump
figure, and recognized that none OF these
things made for beauty.
Edna and Kitty and Genevieve were all
attractive and the boys liked them and
they were sure to have love affairs and
good times and offers OF marriage. Bessie
accepted that, and having accepted 1t
saw no object in weeping over 1t. but
decided instead to so after the sort OF
success that depended upon her rather
than the sort that must come through
masculine preference.
Bessie took stock of her abilities. There
was nothing In particular she could DO
except keep her temper on all occasions,
and that she decided would Just about
qualify her to clerk In a shop where
women's wear was sold.
Bessie managed to set q position. II
developed that beside keeping her temper
she had other talents. These were an
erring eye for color combinations. and

points, a soothing effect. on high strung
creatures who didn't like to be waited
on by clerks who far outshone them in
beauty and charm. and an untiring In
terest In the problems OF other women.
At the end OF five years Bessie found
herself at the head OF the dressmsldng
department OF the store. She was earn
ing money enough TO pay for her own
taxicabs and lunches and theater tickets.
and she was much too interested in her
work to care whether she interested men
or not
In the process OF studlng line and color
Bessie had naturally drifted into a way
Of doing her hair at an angle that count
eracted the snubbiness Of her nose and
that CLOSED over the roundness OF her
face.
She had begun TO wear black as a
matter of business and wakened grad
ually to an artistic perception that long
sweeping black draperies were Just as
merciful to her figure as they were 10

Nature had not designed Bessie for
beauty. but Bessie grew into good

kindled IN him emotion as genuine as hia
admiration had been.
Edna. OF the many partners in dancing
school, had already taken two Of them a.
matrimonial partners and was now man
aging to exist on SIS a week alimony.
Kitty had too many admirers 20 make q
choice and was an aging and unattrac-
tive society woman. whose empty life
showed clearly on her empty and vac
uous face.
Genevieve. who had always been Bes-
sizes envy and despair in her unpopular
youth. was trying to bring up six chill
dren on the limited income of the good
looking village n'er-do-well whom she
had married at IS just when Bessie had
dedicated herself to a life OF work.
You're the only man who ever asked
me to marry him." said honest Bessie 10
her fiance.
And the gallant fiance, looking at the
shining brown eyes and the ''beauti-
fully coiffed hair" and the " daintily ret
rousee nose" ana the ''pleasingly femi-
nine figure" In it's delicate black drap-
cries. replied honestly enough. well. I'm
probably not the only man who wanted
to-but I suppose you were much too
busy to listen"
Moral: In life, and in dancing school.

time; and late Corners may serve you we'll
when early ones merely serve you right.
