An Outbreak of Militarism.

| According to an officer of the End New
York field artillery, only one man was
tied to the wheel of a gun carriage at
the armory in New York. According to
privates in the regiment, four men were
given this penalty for disobedience. This
means of punishment is common in the
British army in Northern France, but
is intensified by starting the wheel turn
ing. Sometimes men are killed in this
way. 1t called crucifying man on a
gun wheel.
As to whether the penalty Is permits

lar officers in our army. No account is
taken of the constitutional provision
which prohibits cruel and unusual pun

The Small Verdict.

| So seldom is it that the death sentence
is pronounced in New Hampshire that it
always produces a sense OF shock, and
yet, if Frederick L. Small caused the
death of his wife, he committed crime
which in respect Of sordidness of motive,
diabolical elaboration, and cunning in
genuity approaches the limit of human
Icapability for evil in this direction. If
he conceived, planned and committed
this murder for the reason and by the
methods set forth by the state, and
work out all the skillfully devised mech
anism for crime concealment and self
protection, his act is to be contrasted
rather than compared with that of Oscar
y. Comery, whose execution caused only
the shrdder caused by the idea of the
thing itself. The measure OF the differ
ence between the two crimes is simply
that of the difference between the two
men, one feeble little creature who
CROPPED his way blindly among inexora
BILE laws to his death; the other edu-
Gated and experienced, a man who DELHI
erately gripped these laws and tried to
bend them to his will. Twelve Carroll
county men believe that this mature man
of affairs planned his wife'death, con-
trived a complicated defensive apparat
us, and then set the whole devilish device
to work. Believing this, they went clear
through to conviction and recommends
ton of the death penalty. Evidently
their theory was that If Small were gull
ty at all he was guilty of an atrocious
crime.
Always in important criminal cases
the state constitutes itself jury, and
usually reaches disagreement. Some
times, to be sure, the facts of the case
are high road leading straight through
to only one destination, but as rule

people outside the court room find ample
ground for difference of opinion. In this
case, only by being at Ossipee and in
the psychic atmosphere of the court
room, only by seeing with ones own eyes
the white metal of oircumstantial evil
dence hammered into link after link OF
consistent and inexorably unyielding
chain, could one feel the full force Of
the argument that, beyond reasonable
doubt satisfied IL ment that this man
n-no other murdered this woman. Being
convinced on that score, the entire ver-
dict followed of necessity.
Ordinarily we hesitate to send man
to death unless we know by the posi-
tive evidence of our physical senses, or
by the confession of the criminal, that
he has taken life. Always there is the
haunting suggestion that inductive pro.
cesses may lead to unjust conclusions,
and that with anything short of actual,
demonstrable knowledge, it is better to
err on the side of safety and protect
both accused and accuser against ire
mediable wrong by stopping short of the
death penalty. Surely the very air of
the Ossipee court room must have been
charged with the idea of guilt. Few of
us were there--we must believe that the
jury, seeing the structure of evidence
erected, listening TO the voices OF the wit
ness, watching their faces and manner,
observing the accused, could see only one
possible contriver and doer of this deed
So Small is condemned to die. Under
our wise statute a year must elapse be-
fore the sentence can be put into effect,
and in the meantime all the safeguards
OF the law are around him. If a weak
link can be found in the chain that binds
him to the gallows, or If new evidence
worthy of consideration is discovered, it
can be brought into operation in his be-
half. But the state, assuming his in
nocence, has found him guilty, and now,
unless he can Individually prove his in
nocence, he must pay the utmost penal (

murder in its most heinous form.-Man- |

On Tuesday the United States SEN

approval to the Sheppard bill de-
signed to end the liquor traffic in the

is the distribution of this vote in its
relation TO geography and to woman
suffrage.
Both senators from nine states voted
against this so-ealled district PROFIT

Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York,

and Alabama. You will notice that
Missouri is the only state in the list
west of Ohio. and Alabama the only one
south of Mason and Dixon, and that no
one of the nine states mas woman suf-

States which gave one vote each
against the prohibition bill, the other
senator either absenting himself or vot-
ing in favor, were Maine and Penn

tered through the west, and Maryland,

can receive from any one state, and par

eastern states, were adopted.
