No Discrimination
In Enrolment of
Men For Big Army

Within a few days the machinery
for wholesale consumption of our
young men will be set in motion. The
American people are hoping that the
operating of that machine will be free
from any faint of scandal.
Perhaps the handling of the draft
ing machinery will be absolutely i'm
partial and incorruptdble. Still that
would not always have been possible.
1t is not SO many years ago that the
making of registration lists for cleo
tons was badly tainted. Names were
enrolled Of men that had been dead
for years, and the politicians brought
in gangs from other states to vote on
those names. All kinds of frauds
were worked off on an Indifferent
public.
Today popular sentiment is strong
against these methods, and the polt1-
clans do not dare. employ them 50
much. There are too many risks about
it. 1t Is cheaper to manipulate leg
islators through Hobbies. But no doubt
there are plenty of election officials
who are still purchasab1e. Some of
the draft clerks might be open to
b1ietN influence, accompanied by the
sufficient consideration, to see that
this or that name was accidentally
omitted.
1t is not likely that this thing will
take place on any considerable scale.
Public sentiment would be so bitter
against it, that Comparatively few Of
ficia1s would dare try it. However, if
there are anywhere any dishonest men
In charge of this drawing, they will
note the penalties provided by the act.
They should also remember that
conviction for this offense would be
accompanied by a peculiar ignoniny.
Where people would tolerate an
election fraud they win, be very Bit
ter against this form of preference,
and will favor the limit of penalty for
it. In view of this it seems likely
that efforts to corrupt the draft will
be rare SO that we shall get a. very
honest CONSUMPTION. 1t is absolutely
necessary.

Rapids preparing him for his fathers
death. He made the announcement
Of Mr. Peck's death, undertook ar
engagements for embalming the body
and urged it's cremation, appearing
particularly anxious to have the body
cremated. DR.. Waite did not attend
the funeral after the body had been
shipped to Grand Rapids for burial,
excusing his presence on pretense of
having to peform an operation in
New York. although he was never a
surgeon.
The state charged that DR.. Waite
offered $4,000 to the undertaken who
had embalned the body if he would
prepare a mixture containing arsenic
and declare it had been used in en-
balming the body. DR.. Waite receiv-
ed the sentence Of death with utter
unconcern. Before he was condemn
ed to death he said in court:

body to give and I hope that my soul
may go on and serve hereafter those
whom I have injured

: New York, May 25-Arthur Warren
the murder of his father-in-law, John
E. Peck. He entered the death house
at IL o'clock. Two shocks wore
necessary to kill him. The first was
thrown on at 1905, the second at
1908. Two minutes later DR.. Amos
o. Squires pronounced him dead
He died silent and unresisting. Yet
the man who walked down the short
corridor into the death chamber was
q different person from the cynical,
Indifferent prisoner who had amazed
warden and keepers by his hardihood
throughout the day. He was game
to the last, but the struggle to repress
his feelings nearly caused, his col
lapse before he reached the chair.
rs this all there is to it?' he asked
when Frank Dorner. the principal
keeper, came to the cell where he
waited q minute or so before IL. He
spoke jauntily, but he seemed more
nearly nervous than he had been
throughout his long Imprisonment.
He walked steadily enough down
the corridor, followed by the voices of
his companions, in the death house
bidding him a last goodby Bat
when he stood face to face with the
chair as the little brown door swung
open, he began to wilt. He sum-
noned up all his force of will The
first step that he took across the
death chamber floor was steady
enough Then his knees started to
sag.
The following steps were shorter
and weaker. To the spectators it
seemed that he just reached the chair
before his strength gave way. He
dropped into its shiny seat, and al
lowed the attendants to strap him fast
and adjust the electrodes. His head
was bowed, and his lower lip was
caught firmly between his teeth
By his side stood the Rev DIR. A. M.
Peterson, Presbyterian chaplain of the
prison and Waite's spiritual adviser.
He repeated the 23rd Psalm while
they fastened the leather helmet over
the bowed head and dropped the little
black curtain before the deathly pale
face.
The trussed figure did not move I'M
til it was flung forward suddenly
against the straps by the kick of the
current For SO seconds the electricity
droned its way through the tense
body. The second shock was only for
five seconds
The chorus of voices from his fell
low members in that sad brotherhood

T0BACCONISTS
OF ENGLAND In
BAD WITH TRADE
Speculative Profits Taken
When Tobacco Tax is
Levied Not Relished
Abroad.

London, May 25-The most unpop-
u1ar persons in England at the present
day are the retail tobacco dealers.
They are accused of the most brazen
stroke Of war prof1teering that has
yet been achieved. The budget intro
duced last week raised the tax on
tobacco by A. cents a pound. There
upon almost all of the dealers an
nounced a raise in prices averaging
on all forms of tobacco about "a cents
a pound. The dealers take advantage
Of an extra tax to charge the con-
sumner teh tax and also an extra profit
of 20 cents a pound. The consumers
are indignant, but as the dealers gen
orally hang together, the consumers
have no remedy except to stop using
tobacco. There is an additional grew
ance in that a large proportion Of the
tobacco used in England is consumed
by the soldiers in training. on leave.
or in hospitals, and purchased by
home people to send to their soldiers
at the front.
The profits resulting from this in
creased tax really work out at more
than 20 cents pound, because both
the tax and profit are charged on all
the tobacco in stock which paid duty
at the old rate. So that, on the stocks
in hand when the duty was raised, the
dealers are making new profit of "a
cents pound.
The tobacco trade will make about
$55,00O,o00 a year for collecting the
new duty which is expected to yield
$50. 100000 revenue. according to the
estimates of correspondent of The
Daily Mail. He figures also that the
traders have about 44.000.000 pounds
in stock on which they will charge
the new duty to consumers, without
having paid it themselves.

Convicts and Aliens
Must Register June 5

Washington, May 25-Emphasis is
laid by Provost Marshal General
Crowder on the fact that no man
within the prescribed agel INIT except
those already in the regular army or
nevy, the National Guard in federal
service, or the reserve division of the
naval service, is excused from regis
tration for military service.
Given convicts and. alien enemies
are required to register" says a state
ment issued yesterday, adding, how
ever, that chose liable should not
confuse registration with actual draft
ing for service in the army"
The statement points out also that
the application of the draft and call
ing selected men to the colors will fur
nish the opportunity for those who
believe they should be exempted to
Asubmit their claims. The process of
selection will be carried out. it adds,

pose. Fear was not in him.
'sThis is the most remarkable case
have ever SEEM" said DR.. SQuires
when he returned from the cell.
The Rev. DR.. A. M. Petersen, Pres
byterian chaplain of the prison. was
also astounded by Waite's almost lack
adaisical attitude. Only once during
the day did he show emotion. This
was when the minister asked him If
he had any message to leave.
ct have nothing to say to anybody
on this EARTH" the condemned man
sharply.
Nothing to say to your mother?"
DIR. Peterson began. when the 9TH
er interrupted him.
Nobody on this EARTH" he re-
peated impatiently. "My brother has
told me of mothers illness. It is not
as serious as the papers have made
out. I have nothing to say to her"
Frank Waite, the brother who has
chung to him with touching loyalty
throughout the long ordeal, told Ar
thur goodby at 6 last night. His voice
was tremulous and there were tears
in his eyes, but Waite only smiled and
shook hands heartily.
"Goodby,. Frank" he replied.
Dr. Peterson said shortly before the
execution last night. 'tHe reads the
Bible, but I do not believe that he has
amy well defined religious views. He
appears to he more Of a. spdr1tuahst
than anything else. He is firmly con-
WINGED that another life waits for him
beyond the chair, and he seems an1x-
ious to begin on it"
The last day of Arthur Warren
Waite's life began at 6 yesterday
morning. After breakfast, he was re-
moved to the cell at the further end
of the death house, where the con-
demned man always spends the few
last hours. of his existence. A little
later he had his hair trimmed for the
e1ectrode, and was shaved amid bathed.
He spent most of the day reading a
volume of Keats's poems. His Bible
and two books on philosophy lay close
at hand From his cell he could hear
the drone Of the current in the room
at the end of the corridor where the
executioner was testing the chair.
Even this did not shake his absolute
calm.
AT 6 last night Waite had his last
meal-eggs, toast, tea and milk. He
ate as eagerly as though he expected
to put in hard days work on the
morrow.

of the condemned were, apart from
DIR. Peterson's voice. the last human
sounds that Arthur Warren Waite
heard on this earth. The death cham
Der was absolutely silent. Neither he
nor any of the spectators spoke.
1t was given to the man who had
murdered his wtfes parents, who had
tricked her until she turned against
him, who had alienated his own fam
lily from him, to go to his death with
the voices of friendship sounding in
his ears. For the men who had lived
in the death house with Arthur War
rem Waite were fond Of him.
Even in company with murderers
under sentence for their lives, Waite
was the facile. pleasant, graceful gen.
tleman who won all hearts He taught
one of his fellow murderers to read.
He wrote letters for others. In a
self to them all.
"Goodby. Waite" most of them call
ed as he began his short journey to
eternity. 'Goodby. Artie,," one Of
them cried. Perhaps he was the one
whom Waite had taught to read. Just
before he entered the death chamber a

body to be entirely normal save for
the sign of an old injury on the right
lobe of the brain. At Waite's trial it
was shown that he had received a
blow on the head as a boy. The
body was turned over to local under
taker. 1t is not known where it will
be buried.
