Bowers Act Was Bad.

In the first place it repealed the
Bowers act, that product Of reformers
that permitted the red-handed assassin
10 commit murder without forfeiting his
life to the state, II invited the muir
derer to kill and promised him In return
imprisonment only for life with chance
OF parole after II years and nine
months.
Law comes directly from the Bible.
and no law Is just that contradicts the
writ, for the wages Of sin is death
and the assassin must pay with his own
life for the life that he has taken"
The other noteworthy bill passed by
the legislature was that which clothed
the governor with the power Of calling
out the state militia In case Of extreme
trouble, he asserted, He, moreover,
pointed out that Investigation into the

the disturbance was the direct result Of

PEARL AND TILE ELEPHANT
Pearl White. the daredevil star OF

an elephant which almost lost her
reputation of girl of daring since
she came very near to being thrown
from an elephants back In front of A
Fifth avenue crowd in New York City.
Miss White had been riding one OF
the Barnum and bailey elephants
down Fifth avenue In parade for the
United War Fund campaign. During
the return trip, Miss Whites elephant
Lena commenced to perform the most
absurd gyrations, waltzing and stand
ing on its hind legs and Miss White
was compelled several times to hang
on to the elephants ear to keep from
being thrown to the ground. She was
amazed at the antics of Lena, said to
be the quietest elephant at the circus
until one OF the keepers told her that
some OF the pins affixing the War
Fund money to her clothing were
iabbing the elephant. and Lena. ac-
customed TO obey the goad as signal
for her tricks during the performances

jabbed, to do her stunts on the street.
This accounted for her wild actions
and after the offending pins were re.
moved, Lena marched quietly back to
