BEECHER'S SERMON
To the Editor Of the Ersning Ledger,

To the Editor Of the EUsning Ledger;
Sir--When Henry Ward Beecher was
travelling with a friend they met three
learned men, one OF whom argued that there
was no God. Beecher remained silent. His
friend asked him why he was not trying
to convince the doubter, and he replied
II was just thinking of something l saw.
a poor lame man fell in muddy place
and was unable to get up Then came a
gentle stranger and handed him a pair Of
crutches, and by their aid he was carefully
picking his way along, when big burly
fellow snatched the crutches and down fell
the poor cripple again into the mud" With
a flush of Indignation the nfdel exclaimed,
81 wish Id been there" Beecher calmly
said Thou art the man. Humanity has
no support save Christianity, and you are
trying to take that away"
And in reading the EVENING LEDGER.
I couldn't refrain from picturng Cardinal
Gibbons as the friend and Doctor Eliot, of
Harvard, as the srguer RIVERSIDE.

ONE WEEK FOR ATONEMENT

DUT one week of the life Of the present
Congress remains in which II can
make atonement for its mistakes.
Bills OF great importance to the conduct
OF the Government and to the protection
of the United States In time of war re.
main TO be considered. There seems to he
a disposition TO quibble and to filibuster.
Little politicians are trying to make
political capital out Of attacks on the
plans of the Administration.
In this crisis there are no parties. We
are all Americans. We are all standing
behind the President. We have elected
him to be our leader In whatever may
come. II is not necessary for Congress
to surrender its judgment to him, but it is
necessary that IL should give respectful
heed to his advice as the advice OF the
man who knows more about the peris
confronting us than any other citizen.
This Congress can adjourn with honor
or it can adjourn with the brand upon 1t
of inability to rise to a great occasion.
Which will it do?

GREATEST PICTORIAL DAILY

THE art OF journalistic photoEra phy

that it is demanding more and more

make the news of the day vitality real

1t is in the belief that illustration of
news reports of the most absorbing in
terest has become as necessary as 1t Is
entertaining that the EvEN1NG LEDGER
presents a daily four.page picture sec
tion. Just as maps are necessary 10
those who would see clearly the impor-
tance of military movements, SO photo
graphs supplement the purpose Of articles
and provide new viewpoints from which

The world of news has widened before
the reader The war has brought far dis.
tant lands close to us, and places that
were mere names are now solid facts.
Also there has been healthy growth or
interest on the part Of citizens in their
own city of late years There is a growing
demand for information upon new sub.
jects that the changing world has
brought To the fore. To visualize new
things is as important as to read about
them.

THE DEATH PENALTY
he Editor Of the Evening Ledger


Sir--I have been asked by those inter-
ested in the abolition Of capital punishment
in Pennsylvania to answer the arguments
Of Doctor O'Maley as set forth IN your
issue OF February 20.
Now, il may be taken from the doctors
plant that il is not a question regarding
the moral or immoral aspect and phases OF
the whole subject of capital punishment
but rather he objects TO any discretionary
power resting with Judge or jurors where
life is involved. Mitigating circumstances
and a thousand other underlying causes
should be brushed aside and the State
forthwith offer up another life as a human
sacrifice in revenge for socety's being
outraged.
Usually those who defend the death PEN
atty have held fast to the one strong argu-
ment "the law of deterrence," as their
excuse to justify the continuance of this
ancient and barbarous custom II is no
longer permissible and not considered good
form TO use the expression, The State must
have revenge" but rather IAN example must
be made of this murderer to prevent others
from committing like offense"
Now it is on this very vital issue, the
law of example" where all advocates Of
humanness take their stand-the terrible
law of example" Why. even mothers, who
often but possess the faintest knowledge OF
It's underlying principles and power, shud-
der at the thought that their children should
hear or see the slightest evidence OF any
thing partakng of a bad example. And
adults Injured TO life as it really is shrink
instinctively from witnessing gruesome
spectacle. yet the State goes on unthink-
ingly from year to year utilizing this terri
bic weapon ''the law OF example" which.
like the boomerang, returns unerringly to
strike the caster in the face.
I lived under the shadow of the gallows
for sixteen years and witnessed the first
execution that took place in San Quentin
Prison California. Prior to that date all
executions took place in the counties where
the crime was committed. The first victim

Doctor Ashton. of the Graduate

Doctor Ashton, of the Graduate
School of Medicine of the University,
put his finger on the greatest need in
medical education today when he said
that there was a crying need for the
passage of laws which would protect
the public against unframed surgeons
The undergraduate medical schools can
not train men for surgery. This can be
done in the higher schools. The under
graduate schools can devote themselves
to the education of good family doctors.
Surgeons need more extended training
and practice than can be provided by
the ordinary medical college. Doctor
Ashton doubtless could have cited many
examples of what amounted to 'ralprac.
tice arising because an ill,equippad young
man had attempted to perform a serious
operation. Every physician knows of
them. The patient trusts his life TO the
operator. The skilled surgeons of the
country are seeking to restrict the use
Of the knife to men who have learned
how to use 1t in order that the operator
may be faithful to his trust. They will
ultimately succeed.
