The beauty of that landscape was

CAPITAL
PUNISHMENT

A dispatch from Murfrcesboro,
Tenn. where District Attorney Wal
ter S. Faulkner, of Lebanon, is engag-
ed in an important murder trial, says
he district attorney holds the new
law eliminating capital punishment
as the penalty for murder was large
ly responsible for the iynching at
Lebanon Monday night Of Will Whit
ley, the negro slayer Of Chief Of police
Robert Nolen.
"By all means let Governor Rye in
cludc the repeal Of the present muir
der punishment statute in his call
for an extra session." he said.
The District Attorney Of MurfTccs-
boro is right. The abolition Of CAPT.
tai punishment has been found to have
been an unwisc procedure in every
state which has supposed it could pro-
tcct lives and property without an oc-
casional use of the gallows.
In this marvellous era many we'll
meaning persons have dreamed that
the time has come when this relic OF
what they term "a barbarous age
should lie eliminated. Such, however,
seem TO lose sight Of the Fact that
This law was given from heaven ana
that men are charged TO carry 1t ont
in cases where offenders forfeit their
Lives to the community they have dis
graccd.
Thoughtlcs5 people often quote the
pcntateuch as obsolete in our day, and
refer to the fact that capital pun
ishment was provided in other case;
/ save murder. That may be, but sucn
srould be rcformers should remember

Virginia feels just pride in her
peoples reverence for the DEGREES and

For the prohibition statutes to BIZ

MUST SUPPORT
THEIR PARENTS.

Mr.. Ogden has introduced a bill
in the, Maryland Senate making it a
misdemeanor for any adult person
OF sufficient financial ability to neg
lect or refuse to support his or her
destitute parent or parents. The PEN
atty attached to the bill is fine OF
not more than $500 or Imprisonment
in the House of Correction for not
more than one year or both. The court
may direct the payment of the fine in
whole or in part to the parent or
parents of the guilty person or it
may, istead of imposing the penalty,
direct the payment by the defendant
of certain sum weekly for the space
of two years to his or her parent or
parents.
The above brings to mind a para
graph in the New Testament, and
shows that the last nineteen hundred
years have not eliminated ungrateful
children from the earth. 1t will be
remembered that the Saviour OF man.
kind upbraided people in his day who
were not caring for old and INDECENT
parents. These unnatural offspring
had made a law which virtually re-
lieved them of any parental incunl-
ORANGES. 1t was done in this way: a
man was allowed to deposit certain
sum in the church treasury, known
as corban" that is a gift, and which
it was supposed delivered him from
any liability of caring for his parents.
1t is sad commentary upon mod
egn days when the legislature of a
state is forced to take cognizance Of
conditions condemned by the Author
of Christianity personally.
One of the laws of Confucius
makes it obligatory upon children
to honor their parents so long as the
latter shall live, not only showing
respect to them. but it must be seen
that their wants and comforts are
supplied. Nations, supposed ITO be
further civilized, can learn some
things from the hermit kingdom.

WARNING AND DEFENSE
baltimore American)

Germany stands resolute, according
to the views attributed to Colonel
House, the Presidents special en-
voy, returned from visit to the
European capitals, upon its construc-
ton of armed merchantmen as bel
..icerent craft not entitled to warning.
The British instructions to merchant
men as quoted by Berlin, indicate
that the British ship masters were
directed to regard any submarine
that should come within torpedo dis
tance as q subject for attack. Ger
many holds that this is prinla facje
evidence of the fact that the ner-
chantmen armed for defense are in
fact armed for attack. 1t holds that
there is no possibility Of submarine
giving warning without subjecting it.
self to the fire of the ship to which
it gives the warning before sinking
it. The guns of the merchantmen are
matched against the torpcdoes of the
submarines, with the advantage in
favor of the former. There Is an i'm
pcrsant distinction TO ne made III
favor of the armed merchantmen that
is not sufficiently taken into account.
This is that the merchantmen SIM
nly seeks to have peaceful passage OF
the seas and security for it's cargo
and its human burden The submarine
is the ship of attack. So that the
merchantmen is intrinsically upon
the defensive. 1t therefore has JuSCl-
6cation for seeking its security when
the danger is developed enough to
be an actual peril. This has been the
theory OF commercial rights Of BEL
ligerents in all the years past.
To call upon the merchant craft tc
modify their rights of defense for the
sake of making the new method OF at
tack easy and without peril to the al
taclcr is q proposition difficult 10
appreciate. Unless the guns upon
the merchant craft may be brought
into action before the enemy has a
chance to discharge its torpedo the
guns might as well not be aboard.
Intiinsic&!ly the carrier of the pro
ducts of peace has surcr claim upon
consideration than a new type OF war
craft that complains that it cannot
: be deadly unless the victim passive
T u submits TO be stricken. There
IS nothing Of the offensive in the
naLurc OF Il ship Of commerce; It's IN
tcrcsts as we'll as its character FORBID
that it shall voluntarily take upon IL
self warship functions to the sup-
ordination Of its intrinsically pacific
mission. Hence the range OF deien-
sive action should be equivalent TO
The range Of peril of attack, and as
the submarine has i certain torpedo
radius within that radius shonld be
rightfpl!y considered The sphere OF
defensive action BY shc mcrchant'nao.
The nnrchantmen have ri%ht
to carry arms for defense, they ha%"
d right TO ,,Sc these arms when WITH

no obligations or Responsibilities 10

LAST CLOUD
VANISHING.

The international sky has cleared
perceptibly since the action OF the
Senate and House of Representatives
in voting to keep hands off the Presl-
dent while he is dealing with Ger
many in the submarine controversy.
It is stated today ts,at while no notl-
fication to Americans will be issued,
it will be made sufficiently plain by
the State Department that the pres
cnt is an inopportune time for cit'-
zens of this country to take passage
upon ships Of belligerents.
While we adopt the course OF
President Wilson in his handling OF
one. of the most difficult international
problems which our country has been
up against in its history, we have
not been blinded to the claims OF
Germany, which has shown its pur-
pose to do everything possible to satt-
guard the lives of Americans since
The dcplorablc Lusitania affair. One
order, it will be remembered. was
substantially that submarine COM
manders must take every precaution
when about to sink an enemy vessel
to see that no Americans are aboard.
Germany is averse to break with
the United States, and we prefer to
believe the Tcutons will resort to
any honorable means to avoid a clash.
