SHANGHAI. May 2s.-One Of the
most remarkable murder cases in
the history Of China, an outgrowth
OF the political conflict over the
presidency OF China in 1913. has
Just been concluded with the eXecu-
ton at Picking Of Hung Chi-tsu for
the killing Of Sung Chiao-jen.
The extraordinary phase OF the
case was the fact that Hung wa8
arst sentenced 10 life Imprisonment
but appealed 10 the supreme court
Of China with the result that death
sentence was imposed instead OF
life imprisonment
Machines Work il CHASTITY.
The new garrotting machine for
the execution OF murderers was used
for the first time in Sung's case.
It's work was effective but done in
so CHASTITY a fashion that the execu-
TONERS left the room without cerc-
mOny.
The murder Of Sung Chaio-jen
was considered a political crime.
Sung formerly was minister Of ag-
ricalture and commerce and, wheC
he was assassinated on the platform
OF a railway station at Shanghai in
1913. was a candidate for the pre-
miership. He was one of the lead
ers Of the southern party opposed to
yuan Shi-kai. who then was pro-
vIsional president of China and a
candidate for election Of president
Of the permanent government soon

which Sung was a leader was head
ed by Sun Yat-sen and was strone

OF the southern party alleged there
was a political plot 10 keep them

of Sung's murder but he died with
tragic suddenness. Two others al

before being placed on trial.
This left Hung alone to solve the
mystery. For several years he kept

The Active Life

Dr.. Stephen Smith, who for So years
has been a practicing physician and
surgeon, at the ripe age. of 96, gives us
an interesting prescription for living
longer than our allotted three scose and
ten. He prescribes, Keep alert, keep
occupied, keep in touch, read the news
and seek, contact with men and women
who are active, and your health in ninety
cases out of hundred will take care Of
itself. s
OF course, this philosophy Of the ac-
tive and occupied life as panacea is by
no means new, yet the leading Of an ac-
tive life in itself possesses life-giving force
and every personal manifestation Of it
gives one fresh energy and interest in
existence. 70 be vitality alert and men
tally robust are in themselves compen-
sation enuf, but when longevity is added
we cannot help but try the doctors
prescription to see if it will accomplish
ANYTHING for us. 1t will at least give
us ambition to do something or be some
body.

It has been said that the labor ele.
ment of the Twin Cities seems to be
linked up with the vets who made q
demand on the Non-partisan league
members from dry counties that they
were unable to meet because they hac
been forced to certain pledges regarding
the wet and dry proposition by theil
constituents. It is further stated that
this refusal of the league members caused
the deplorable' desertion Of the labor
members of the house in the final vote
on the ore tax measure.
One can hardly believe that the repre-
sentatives of labor in the lower house
would use such poor judgment and defeat
bill which was designed to be Of specia
benefit to the working people of the
state only because they were looking
for some kind of revenge on the prohibi.
tionists, especially if they were pledged
to see to it that the tonnage tax bills
should get the necessary. majority this
time. But if they did, the prohibi.
tionists may we'll take part Of the blame
for the ore tax defeat, because it is
entirely their fault if people get tirec
of their terroristic methods and hi
them back with the same club.
