 If nothing has happened to Peter Rabbit, and I don't believe anything has, he has simply been staying at home in the dear Old Briar patch. And if Peter has been staying at home in the Old Briar-patch all these days and nights it is for d reason. There is something there that interests him more than gadding about gossiping, and it must be something very inter- esting indeed to do that. I have an idea that Peter has a secret and that that secret will interest me quite as much as it does Peter"

LETTERS TO EDITOR

Ia. the Editor of The Age Herald: In the News editorial few days ago appeared a strong opposition to capital punishment, and which was likewise commented upon by Mr. J, r. Kirkland in the News, July 23. 1920.
 Now, I do not wish to appear. and am not, blood-thirsty nor hard-hearted, but from my eighteen years experience as a court reporter. nine years of which have been in Alabama as an official court reporter, I have long reached the conclusion that capital punishment has more weight and influence in supress- ing crime today than any other mode of punishment prescribed by law Mir. Kirkland says: Let us eliminate for ever the law that takes what man has not the power to return. It is d poor rule that works not both ways, and under his theory he certainly does not mean to eliminate the commandment, ''Thou shalt not kill"
 The man who is shot down in cold blood. the woman who is ravished, the one who puts a pistol in your face and demands your money or your life (and often takes both). these people are taken from this world without even a chance to say, God have mercy on my soul" But when the death penalty is imposed on the one WnO commits SucH a deed. he has many months to make peace with his Maker. The sixteen men Ii have seen hanged (three of whom were white). all repented of their sins and said they were going home to rest" and as Will Stover said just before he was hanged here July 20: ' am very glad to be before this large congregation today, I am giving my life for my deed. and am going home to Jesus Christ to rest"
 I have seen many men plead guilty and take a life sentence in the peni- tentiary. with smile on their face; the average negroswho commits crime punishable by death, is only too glad to go to the penitentiary, for there he can get three meals day and place to sleep, which is all he wants and about all he usually gets while enjoying his freedom. I only wish the executions could take place out in the open so that every one. who desired, could witness it and have an impress sion left with them of the sense of sight. which would mean much in the reduction of crime today. An abolition of capital punishment would fill our tails and more penitcntiaries would al once have to be constructed. When one man kills another while serving life sentence in the penitentiary, if found guilty. he must suffer death, Then, how many would we have in the peni- tentiary to serve two full life sen tences"

 "Of course it was mad" snappeu Andrew, Wouldn't you be mad if you had to run around these hot pave ments without a drink for two or three days, and then have people be- gin to heave bricks at you because your tongue hung out?
 NO wonder the dog was mad! It's enough to make saint hurl his halo into the nearest garbage can and run amuck
 Suppose it's any fun for a friend less pup to be cajoled into the clutches of a boy with a piece of bread in his hand and a gasoline can with 8 string hidden behind his back, and just when the pup begins to wag his tail have the can tied to it? Mad Why, it's enough to make the white dove of peace pull the tail feathers out of a beetle browed eagle
 There is an awful lot of difference between a mad dog and a dog with hydrophobia. You only meet a dog with hydrophobia in medical work, yellow journal and a pamphlet from a Pasteur institute, but a mad dog you are liable to meet ih the street any time in hot weather.
 "The treatment that the average homeless pup receives would make anything froth at the mouth. The av- craze mad dog needs only a few kind words and a drink of water in front of him and few less tin cans and specta tor shooting cops behind him. Half the time it's the hue and cry and noise behind him which makes him mad and'--

Ball Clubs To TopOf
 Big Money

Cincinnati, March 15.--(Special)- Garry Hermann of the Cincinnati Club may be entirely out of order In the matter of handling national com mission affairs, but just the same MT Hermann sunloaded a lot of real wis dom when he refused to part with Ed die Roush and Larry Kopf for New York castoffs and a hunk of "Jawn" McGraw's bank roll. and told the Giant
 leaoers agents it was time for base
 ball to return to constructive pol icy and forget the strength of money.
 The Cincinnati team developed Roush
 and kopf--and several other players who went to the Reds as hopeless cases and to sell them because sf large price was offered, according to Garry would be to deal the national game a
 blow that might rattle the entire structure.
 Herrmafn yearns for a return of the constructive practices that made Salee Hanlon, Connie Mack, and a few others famous as managers. He also yearns Tor the time when there will be less uisposition to flourish check books, and more interest in the development of young players than in the sale of a star Tor record or near record figure
 The Cincinnati magnate is not alone Tn ms quest for a change in condi- tionss Connie Mack, Barney Dreyfuss. Branch Hickey, Phil Ball and several others are craving for the return of the old days. and aside from personal interest which may seem to sway most or them, 1t is conceded everywhere they have the proper dope
 Barney Dreyfuss, although having paid big price for several minor leaguers, has never cut into his bank balance to any great extent for ma terial He declares New York fans will not have as much interest in Babe" Ruth the coming season as the Yankees hoped for. because Ruth was exchanged via the checkbook method and was de- veloped when he landed in the big town
 He also cites the fact that Chicago lans will never talk about Grover AL exander as they talked about Mordecai Brown, because Brown was developed to his greatness in the Windy City. while Alexander was bought for a long price.
 Connie Mack argues that before an- other year has passed there will be | clamor for the return of the old sys- tenn of developing players. and that the inclination to purchase will be almost entirely out of vogue.
