ABOLISH DEATH PENALTY.

With the addition of Tennrssee, ten states of the Union, with teal pres ent population of more than sixteen million, ha:c abolished the death pen- alty for murder. The nine previously listed were Kansas, Maine, h.ichigeI, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
 The situation in Tennessee is pecu- liar. The Covers act, passed by the Legislature at the last session was vetoed by ,;os. Rye. He hell the bill longer than five days with which a veto mu,; become effective, but claimed that as the Legislature was in recess at the time he was entitled to five days delay after it was again in session. He was sustained in the lower courts, but the State Supreme Court holds that the Legislative recess did not extend the five days limit. Thus the .ery important action by the first Southern or border State in the list rests with technical legal decision.
 A most significant omission in the Bowers law is that it does not abol- ish capital punishment for criminal assault. For that, man can still be executed. He cannot be for murder. 1t may be doubtful if an.y State South of Tennessee would pa IS an act similar to the Bowers law without making a similar exception New York WorL:

 "Come quick" shouted the Mad Halter, waving his arms and point ing excitedly, "here is where the Jap rumors are made"
 Rushing over to the spot pointed out by the Mad Halter, Alice stood in amazement as eager workmen, all working desperately rushed around her.

We have for our own part a greater
sin than that on our conscience. There
are a pumber of books that We habitu-

have never read at all. They are great
books, we suppose. At least we've

at one time or another to have read all
Of them. Here Is our list Of shame:

tie of it, and we know all the usual
things that are said about 1t, and we
even wrote some stuff about 1t one
time, saying all the things that. are
usually said about It, for which we got
$25, but we don't really like 1t. 1t puts
us to sleep; it seems long drawn out
and clumsy to us.
"Boswell's Life Of Johnson" We
never read any Of 1t. But we have pre-
tended to and have pretended at times
to quote incidents from II and have got
away with the Incidents.
