One of the most nauseating features
growing out of the murder perpetrated
at Seattle last week. where one woman
so coveted the husband of another
woman that murder was resorted to in
order to remove the impeachment, is
the mawkish sentiment and sympathy
that is being shown toward the muir
deress. This perverted sentimentality
is not at all uncommon in the annals
of crime. The minds and nature of
some people are so warped that they
are eager to palliate any crime no
matter how heinious, and express maui
ding commisseration for the perpe-
traitor. That singularly constituted be-
ing exists and Is present in almost
every community, and Seattle seems
to be overstocked with the species
Ever since this murderess with stud
led devlisSsaess allured her victim to
the banquet of death, morbid curiosity
has attracted many people to the Jail
in which she is confined, she has been
the recipient of numerous epistolary
expressions of sympathy, and has been
swamped with floral contributions.
This practice of making martyr of

Mrs. Nora Ricketts,

The Bowen Auto company had set
up several of their Fordson tractors
Saturday which attracted considerable
attention. They are powerful little
specimens of mechanical ingenuity
and are invaluable for work about a
farm. AS the auto has largely SUPER
coded the horse as a means of getting
around the country, becoming both a
necessity as well as luxury, so in a
few years the tractor is going to crowd
the horse out of farm work very
largely.
Carl Refsing, who has been engaged
in the saw mill business in this part
of the country off and on for several
years has started up the Mount Hull
saw mill again for long run. He al
ready has quite quantity Of building
material on hand, and is making the
McGinty ranch a distributing point for
the valley, where he has stock in
yard. Mr.. Refsing was in town Mon
day on business.

a criminal is most reprehensible. Inc
woman TO whom sympathy is extended
Is unworthy Of sympathy. Her crime
was that of one stepped in human de-
pravity. II there was a single eNtehu-
ating circumstance connected with the
murder one might feel that some Glenn
ency should be extended. If there were
even any signs of contrition, indica-
lions of sorrow and regret, for the
deed. one might plead for mercy. III
the woman realizes the 'enormity OF
her crime she does not show it in her
actions nor in her conversation. Under
all the circumstances prior to and fol-
lowing the shocking murder this exhi-
bition of sympathy is disgusting in the
extreme. If the papers would publish
the names of the flower givers and the
authors of sympathtic billets 1t might
have the effect of discouraging dis
play of such morbific emotions.

In rasnonse TO a strong sentiment
against the system in law that requii
ed a life for a life in the case Oh nun
der capital punishment was aoohsheu
nv the legislature in this state several
wears ago. Opponents OF eapitai
punishment insisted that the fear
Of life Imprisonment would De a great
er preventative of murder than the
hangman's moose. Time and experience
have gone to explode that theory. More
murders have been committed since
the adjustment OF capital punishment
than were committed in the state When
capital punishment was IN force vi
course. those opposed TO the death
penalty will argue that the population
has greatly increased. and with the in
crease of population crime might De
expected TO increase IN the same "a
ito. But it is we'll known that IN
number of instances where the most
inexcusable and shocking murders
have been committed the persons
found guilty smiled lightly at the SEN
tence. stating that they would have 10
be provided for at the expense OF the
state and there was always chance
Of securing a pardon. This indifference
TO Imprisonment as punishment for
murder has become SO notorious that
the last legislature restored capital
punishment in the case OF murder, the
bill has been signed by Acting Cover
nor Hart and in due dime will become
operative The taking Of life even by
due process of law is repulsiv etc most
people. but the wretch who takes the
life of his fellow man with premedi
tation and malice aforethought as is
so often done, deserves little pity or
sympathy II is only the shadow OF the
gallows that deters some men from
carrying out their murderous inclina-
tions. and if the restoration of capital
punishment will in the slightest degree
reduce the number OF killings in this
state the late legislature is to be
thanked for performing most COM
mendable act in restoring the extreme
penalty.
