WHEN IT COMES TINE TO PAY

Two young men smiled when jury
sentenced them to death. They nudg-
ed each other jokingly. 1t was just
little past the evening dinner hour
when the jury announced its verdict.
The courtroom was brightly lighted.
Spectators were on hand. Policemen
and court attaches were here. The
scene wasn't one to make things seem
particularly dreary. The two young
men had grown accustomed to the
faces of those in the courtroom. The
scene had been going on for eighteen
days, and the two young men were
quite at home. In fact, they We're the
whole attraction. They had seen
necks craned and all eyes focused up
on them. They were at the center of
the stage, and the spotlight was up
on them. They were "heroes" in an
absorbing play. So, in the last scene,
just before the spotlight's glow was
dimmed, the two young men smiled.
But the long hours OF, the night were
ahead. The two young men had been
escorted to gloomy, lonely cells, away
from the bright scene of the court
room. The smiles had died from the
two faces. Their features had be-
come drawn. And throughout the
long, silent night, the two young men
paced their cells. Sleep would not
come to blot out from their minds the
picture of the gallows that now was
becoming so distinct. Wherever they
looked, they could see it. In the dark
corner of the cell, they could see the
dangling rope. Close their eyes and
yet the vision would not fade 1t
was picture which was burning it.
self indelibly upon their minds. So
they paced their cells. They strug-
gled in their souls. Fear had come
to replace bravado. There were no
spectators now to make it seem like
a play. The iron bars proved the real
ity Of it all. Death was reckoning to
them. They could not smile at death
not at a murdcrer's death upon the
gallows!
There will be more nights before
the Lewis brothers are called upon to
carry out the verdict of the jury.
Many months have passed since two
policemen were shot and dubbed to
death. The Lewis band then was at
the zenith of its glory. Laws held no
limitations upon them. Human lives
were merely Incidents, to be snuffed
out at will The revolver was their
law! But now it has come time for
two of the band to pay. And through
the long nights to come until that
final moment on the gallows, grinning
death will have its vengeance. For
the lawbreaker, for the bandit, for the
murderer, the smile passes when it
comes time to payl-St. Louis Star.

BELL1GERENTs AND THE VATICAN

Frequent references to exchanges of View
between various Powers and the Vatican EN-
phasize the numerous efforts to build up friend
ny relations, made by one side or the other Il
/ is difficult to believe that the belgerents are
not seeking temporal advantages through these
! channels.
Not since the fall Of the temporal power OF
the Pope some forty six years ago have there
been so many attempts of hitherto Indifferent
countries to reestablish diplomatic relations by
the sending Of ministers to the Vatican, in adj
dition to those already accredited to the gov
eminent of Italy at the Quirinal.
Great Britain and Holland have renewed
diplomatic relation by sending ministers to the
Vatican, while France is Thought to be repre-
scented through the Principally of Monaco,
which is the latest to renew old RELATIONS. OF
course since the entrance of Italy into the war,
the Austrian ambassador TO the Vatican has
left, as well as the ministers from Prussia and
Bavaria, respectively the Baron Won Ritter and
the Baron Won Muhlberg.
While these countries Just named did not in
any sense break their relations with the Vati-
can and perhaps even now try to keep in better
connection than ever, it was impossible for
them to remain openly, due to the peculiar posi-
ton of the Holy See. 49,. i. ....=.
Great Britain has never had a permanent
representative to the Vatican until the recent
coming of Sir John Howard, formerly British
minister to the Hague, England having in past
times appointed special agents to deal with the
special religious questions affecting her Catho-
Tic populations.

COL. ROOSEVELT AND THE ARMY.

Col Roosevelt's recent ntterances have
given the impression in some quarters that he
lis in favor of very large standing army, but
in one speech few days ago he told just
where he stands in this regard. 1t was before
a Brooklyn audience. He said:
The professional or so-called regular army
should be large enough to meet any sudden
such for example, as restoring civ
Iihzation in Mexico, or meeting a sudden assault
from overseas by any power which desired to
seize New York or San Francisco and treat us
as Belgium.
We should have mobile army of 10000
men, adequately to meet these needs, which
means total regular army of about quarter
of million men. !"
OF the proposed continental army the colonel
spoke in terms of biting sarcasm He likened
it to a project to arm Uncle Sam with a %
caliber muzzle loader when he needed an au-
tomato As
The men who advocate the so-called con
tinental army, !" said he, are the real enemies
of true preparedness. =

TWENTY EIGHT MADE GooD-TWo DID
NOT

Gut of thirty inmates of the territorial prison
given the freedom of the city yesterday, only
two returned to Jail after the hour set for their
appearance and in only one ease was the priv
lege grossly abused That was in the case of
the notorious Bert" Bower.
: The exception proves the rule in this as in
other matters. The honor system instituted,
encouraged and splendidly developed by High
Sheriff Jarrett is working ont successfully de-
spite isolated instances in which prisoners do
not keep faith with their officials. OF course
there will be criticism of the high sheriff for al
lowing prisoners to leave the jail and come into
the city to watch the parades, but the twenty
eight men who returned to their enforced de-
tention at the time appointed returned decent
and sober-are better for the freedom they
were given and the self,control they exercised
The two who did not keep faith are probably
no worse than they were before, and in addi-
ton they have the knowledge that their fellow
prisoners condemn and resent the abuse of the
honor system. They should do better in the
future.

GERMANY's SUGAR OUTLOOK.

Rather meager news dispatches from Ger
many for months past have limited at an unsat-
lsfactory sugarsbeet outlook. Recently an
Associated Press correspondent made an nves-
tigation in Berlin with the result that he found
a probable shortage in prospect
An increase in the maximum wholesale price
Of sugar beets from 35 pfennigs per hundred
weight to LBS or even 1.50 is held to be neces-
sary if production is to be encouraged suffi-
GENTLY. to insure normal crop in 1916. Rep
fesentatiyes of the sugar industry, and Of agri-
culture in general, gathered recently in the
ministry of the interior to discuss the sugar
beet problem. According to the best obtain
able estimates, the 1916 sugar production from
the beet crop viii total only 80 million hundred
weight. as against normal production of from
.. 10 55 hundred weight
he reason for the decreased production lies
primarily in the high price of grain Farmers
mo i more profitable to plant their farms to
heat than to beets because the wheat brings
them higher prices Therefore, if beets are to
X grown again the price for them must be in
creased. Many Of the sugar representatives
pleaded for maximum price at 1.60 marks or
even marks per hundred-weight 1t was
pointed out that the cost of labor has greatly
increased and that many other fixed charges
that enter into the production of sugar from
beets have gone up. The majority of. those
present at the meeting, however, agreed that
q maximum price of 1.50 was sufficient TO in
duce increased planting of sugar beets, to a
point whereby about 40 million hundred-weight
would. be raised in all probability This new
price, it is proposed will become effective Sep
TENDER i, 1916 or before the crop is harvested
The 40 million hundred-weight it is believed
viii be amply sufficient for all of Germany's
needs.

IT was AN army of peace that marched las
night in the gorgeous Japanese lantern parade

did not overshadow its significance As an event
in honor Of the first American president. Inc

homage of subjects but the respect and Henera-

THOUGHT ScRUBWOMEN
HAD LOCKED HIM UP
IN THEATER'S ATTIC

w. d. Adams, manager of the Opera
House, was locked in a tiny attic OF
the theater with party of friends yes
terday at noon, and it looked for a
while as if they would have to stay
there and rest themselves for an hour
or so.
The party went through the attic to
view the parades from a gallery over
the entrance to the Opera House
Adams forgot to tell the scrubwomen
working around the balconies that he
was out on the gallery, and one of
them locked the door leading into the
attic from the outside.
Members of the party kicked and
pounded on the door for several min
utes before it occurred to one of them
that there was a door on the opposite
side. This opened easily and a some
what excited lot of people crowded
out of it.
