England is Doing Her Share.

(World's Work)
 mans and anti-English Irish among us on Great Britain since the begin ming of the war have also been di- rected toward making France, Cana da, the United States and every one else possible dissatisfied with Great Britain's share in the war.
 The lasts do not substantiate this charge.
 Great Britain has 45,oOO,000 popu- lation, in contrast with 39.000,0O0 for France, 36,0OO.OOO for Italy, 175,- 100000 for Russia and somewhat more than 1O0,oOo,oOo for us.
 The 45,OOO,OO0 has furnished a far larger proportion of the naval strength and shipping than any other nation, and has done this from the beginning of the war. This has also odium attached to the blockade which was for the general benefit of all the Allies as we'll as England.
 From the beginr Ing also they have furnished more money than any other nation.
 In the first two years of the war they did not furnish as many men as either France or Russia, but at pres ent the British army in France IS about as large as the French. The British have besides an army in Egypt another at Sa1onica Gas have also tho F'rench) and another in Mesopotaraia. Moreover the British Isles have furnished as many men in proportion and suffered as great losses as any of their colonies, be- sides putting forth an extraordinary industrial effort.

higher court. This comment is made simply to show the power of life and death vested in one man-it was so in the days of Nero.
 Happily the Governor saw fit to give Mrs. Gilligan the benefit of every doubt and Q hearing before the Su- preme court. This is we'll. The peo- pie of the state and nation are glad of this reprieve, because. not only of the chance to appeal, but because there is no place in Gods plan or in modern civilization or Christianity for the talk ing of human life deliberately, legally. 1 in expiation of crime or for anything else. We do not question the findings of the jury in this case or any other; they proceeded according to law; 1t Is not their fault that for certain crimes law provides the death penalty. In some cases the Judge has an option of either giving the death sentence or imprisonment. However, when the death sentence is given, only the Gov ernor, Pardon Board eff any) or the President can stay an execution. Think of the power this means! In Gods plan only He could give or take life, and every other life which may be He has retained, that of giving life; but man has delegated to himself the power of taking life away irrespective of Gods wishes. The Governor has the power of saving life TEMPORAH- ILY, by granting stay of executlon' a reprieve for a limited tlme' us true yet this short repr1eVe may pc the means of a new lease Of lire. AL though the Governor may not nave It in his power to commute death sen
 
 the power of suggesting this course to the board of pardons, ana the knowledge that the suggestion coming from him would go further than from any other source.
 Will not you, Governor Ho1comb, do everything in your power to save this life, mad every other life which may be in your keeping temporarily? Will not the Honorable Pardon Board con- sider very gravely the responsibility the public assumes when 1t delegates to any man Gods prerogative of talk ing away human life? And will they not save some brother man the haunting curse of knowing that he, with his own hands, snuffed out the life that Almighty God placed in the body of this woman, Mrs. GilllEan, and all others in like circumstances?
 Gentlemen! do you think killing, de- liberately and in cold blood human beings-people. like you and me. is right? Do you think the law provid- ing it is right, and that 1t makes for better Higher Humanity? What is law for, to punish alone, or to im- prove human relations and conditions, to make this world better and clean er-is not this the very foundation of law? Does killing folks, like rabid dogs, tend to make the world better and cleaner? The people of this state and nation, Gentlemen, want you to commute this and every other death sentence to life imprisonment until such time as the law shall have been repealed which provides capital want you, Gentlemen, to commute them for the sake of Hu- manity, Almighty Gods masterpiece. Will you not do it? When your Hon. orable Board meets down near Hart ford next m onth Gust before Christ mas) will you not remember this?

First On the Honor Roll.
(Waterbury Republican,

(Waterbury Republican,
 Among the first homes in the country to which come the grief and the highest honor of sacrifice for liberty is one in Waterbury. It is a simple one from which George Franklin Wheeler, Jr., went out in- to the navy of our country, and the parents who gave him are plain peo- ole, but of such they is the strength of this great nation built. Theirs is a patriotism that is bear ing up nobly in this hour of trial. Wheeler went out as a volunteer. convinced that his country was call ing him to fight in a righteous cause for the protection of that democracy that is best appreciated in such home as he came from. He was willing to go out at the first call to fight for the ideals that his country had taught him to respect. He was brave enough to meet death This is the spirit with which the rest of us must carry on the struggle for which he gave his life with that courage of: One who never turned his back but
 marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were
 worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to
 fight better, Sleep to wake.

An Air Raid.

"A simple child that lightly draws it's breath," what should she know of frtghtfulness? Marjorie, aged 4, was at Blackpool the other day during rather more than characteristic breeze. Marjorie was blown over, and Marjorie naturally cried. Never mind. darling" said her mother, "the wind won't blow you away "I know dat, mummie," Marjorie said between her sobs. Then what are you crying for, dear?" And the child, expressing her subconscious impressions of rhrases heard so often, replied, 1T fought it was an air raid.''

COMMUNICATED
A PLEA FOR MRS. GILLIGAN.
Woman Protests Against Capital Pun. ishment, and Asks Governor to
 Stay Executioner's Hand

Woman Protests Against Capital Pun
 ishment, and Asks Governor to
 Stay F'xecutioner's Hand. To the Editor of the Herald:
 When Almighty God breatned the breath of life into an inert and inanimate matter and called it man, He did not intend that this life should be taken until He recalled it. God there united a body and soul, and made man. Christ said, 'What God has joined together let no man put asunder." If we are to ob- serve this in any manner at all, such as in marriage, why not in the mat ter of separating soul and body? This was Gods greatest masterpiece, His greatest work. And putting the soul into the body and making it one was the finishing touch to this master piece. Yet men rend 1t asunder. some times at the end of a rope, sometimes in the electric chair, legally, with the sanction of thirty-six of our states and of our federal government. Happily twelve of the states have come to see that there is no place in civilized states or communities for capital pun ishment.
 The report has appeared in newspa- pers all over the Country that Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb would grant a reprieve to Mrs. Amy Gilligan who was under sentence of death, to give her attorney time to appeal her case to the Supreme Court. Had the Con- necticut Governor for any reason re- fused to grant this reprieve the wo- man would have been executed with out the benefit of the last doubt or of having her case reviewed by the
