 FROM PNEUMONIA
Mrs. Washburn quickly regained her
 strength and flesh.

'I had grippe, followed by pneumonia It left me with a terrible soreness in my chest, constant pain in my throat and so weak and nervous I could neither eat nor sleep. I had a chill every morning.
 "One day a young man told me how MilIfs Emulsion had got him out of bed and built him up after he had been re- duced to a skeleton and given up by the doctors. So I tried it. I have gained in strength, appetite and flesh, sleep bet ter than I have for years, am doing all my own work again and feel like new person.
 "The beauty about Milks Emulsion is that 1t doesn't wear out like most things, and Is so pleasant to take. It is a food as well as a medicine and builds up the blood and tissues. It surely put new fest color I ever had''-Mrs. M. Wash burn, Fl Centro Cal
 It costs nothing to try Millxs Emulsion. It will build you up more quickly, more surely than anything else.
 MillSs Emulsion Is a pleasant, nutritive food and corrective medicine. It re- stores healthy, natural bowel action pro- notes appetite and puts the digestive organs in shape to assimilate food. Chronic stomach trouble and constipation are usually relieved in one day.
 This is the only solid emulsion made, and so palatable that 1t is eaten with q spoon like ice cream.
 No matter how severe your case, you are urged to try MillSs Emulsion under this guarantee-Take six bottles home with you, use it according to directions, and if not satisfied with the results your money will be promptly refunded.

 Hunt doubled his fists and glared at Fitzhugh. Yet, even in that angry moment, he could not but admire the Shfewdness of the man.
 Fitzhugh leaned across the table, his face grown suddenly very earnest. If you want to get rich-immensely rich you'll hold on to me- I shan't for get what you've done fer me in a hur- ry, and some day I'm going to be able to repay you a hundred times over. About a year ago on capital of one dollar, given to me I made a turning point in my life. Today I am worth, roughly, one hundred thousand dollars. Some years from today I will be worth millions. It is coming as sure as fate. What are you going to do, Hunt? Are you going to stand by me, or are you going to break with me? Give me your answer now-this minute"
 Hunt did not meet the speakers eyes, but looked away, his gaze wan dering about the glittering grill. Then, as the needle is drawn by the magnet, he turned back and looked into the powerful young face opposite And who shall say?-perhGps, by some flash of prescience, he saw Fitzhugh not as he was then but as he would be in after years, q juggler of millions.

 It was in the following December, during the height of the Christmas holidays, that Fitzhugh was intro duced to Sylnington Otis. This day was a notable one for renewing casual acquaintmces.
 The past year, although 1t had added not a little to his capital, had failed to carry Fitzhugh as high as he had intended it should. He had suffered many reverses, for his reck- less habit of plunging often carried him backward as well as forward. But these setbacks, if keenly disappoint ing, were not diScouraging, nor were they unprofitable. He learned by each of them, using them as stepping stones. He never made the same mis- take twice.

 He indicated Fitzhugh, and the oth- CTS glanced in his direction.
 '.The greatest financial genius,' said Hunt, i've eyer known"
 Otis looked again at Fitzhugh, who had finished his telegrams and was moving off. Majestic looking devil" he observed. Might make nrst-class villain for a melodrama. I've noticed him several times of late. I believe suppose you call him over, Hunt? l think I'd like to meet him."
 With glad acquiescence Hunt hur- ried after Fitzhugh and caught him ex- citedly by the shoulder.

Lqtayette's appeal
To the Editor of the Tribune.

10 the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: May /, as a daily reader of
your paper, express my appreciation
of the enlightened attitude of your
editorial of Monday, March %, to-
ward the bill now before the Legis-
lature at Albany to abolish the death
penalty in New York State.
Lafayette's appeal to the French
Chamber of Deputies in 1880, II shall
demand the abolition of the death pen
atty until l have the infallibiIity Of
human judgment proved to me-" has
been brought home to us not only
by the Stielow case, but by the re-
cent account in The Tribune of the
$4,000 voted by the Mississippi State
Legislature to Will Purvis for having
faced the gallows for crime of which
he was ultimately exonerated. In
countless cases 1t has also been shown
that Henry Ward Beecher was right
when he said. "While the fear of
hanging does not dater mon from crime,
the fear of inficting death deters many
a jury from finding just verdict and
favors the escape Of criminals" A
steadily increasing number of people
believe with Victor Hugo that "The
law that dips Its finger in human blood
to write the commandment Thou shalt
not murder is naught but an example

Profit in a Fine

lFrom The London Morning PosD
The existing peculiar conditions in
the internationl money market can pro-
duce very strange and paradoxical
phenomena. Here is case in which the
exchange actually transformed punish
ment into reward. In 1916 a man
from across the Baden frontier was ar
rested in Switzerland for smuggling. He
was released on bail of 5000 francs,
which then cost him $500 marks. For
some reason the case dragged on and
was decided only quite recently. The
accused was sentenced to fine of 5000
francs and 800 francs cost. He received,
as the balance of his bail 1,70O francs,
which he changed for $4,000 marks.
Consequently, his little adventure
brought him in a net profit of 16,500
marks. AS one of the humors of the
exchange this deserves to be coupled
with the case of Swiss brewery, which
is said to have found it economical to
label it's beer bottles with Austrian
kroner notes.

trated twenty ships of the enemy.
The enemy would overwhelm one
squadron of seven and deal likewise
with each succeeding squadron as it
came to. the rescue, or seek each
squadron out separately and sink it.
Then our enemy could bring over
his transports unmolested. "Coast
defense vessels protect against in
dfvidual raiders. but are no defense
against concentrated attack.
The dispatch of July 10, 1917,
shows ti,sl. Secretary Daniels and
Admiral. Ransos, contemplated send
ing our whole battle fleet abroad.
This evidences realization that
holding 1t here for "coast defense"
would be futile. But Daniels and
Benson proposed to do this right
thing only when the. emergency is
deemed to warrant it''-that is, they
proposed to keep our battle feet over
here and out of the war until an
emergency, suc. as the breaking
loose of the German feet, had made
the prcsencs Of our feet in Euro
pean waters manifestly imperative.
They would not send the feet over
to prevent a German eruption, but
only when the emergency" of such
an eruption had occurred. Oh stable
door and empty stall!
Daniels and Benson, in A. d. 1917,
are clearly outranked as naval STRAIT
egists by Hermocrates, in B. C. 413,
for the latter proposed to put out
instantly to sea with all the ships
we have in readiness" Judged by
the Hermocrates standard, Daniels
and Benson are some twenty three
centuries behind the times.
New-York tribune., 1920-03-28
Thinking With the Emotions

In recent address Job Hedges,
the we'll known political philosopher,
remarked on "the ease of adverse
comment as compared with the diff
culties of constructive thought"
"Why don't they do something?'
has become staple question in
many companies-the aforesaid
"they" being an unnamed congery Of
persons resident nowhere.
So the manufacture of bettering
proposals proceeds without much
consideration of how they will work
or whether they. will work at all.
They" should and must develop the
details. For example, in The Trib-
une's Platform Contest yesterday
appeared plank which said that
before this country ever goes to war
again the President shall present to
the nation all the issues at stake
and take a popular vote. But if the
country is attacked Congress may
declare war of defense without a
plebiscite.
The exception eats up the propo~
sal. When is there an attack? Was
the Lusitania murder an attack?
Moreover, common sense tells us, as
it told David Harum, that if you are
about to be hit, the thing to do is to
hit first. Could we debate war
issue if our prospective opponent did
not and used the delay to arm to the
teeth? The plank ignores the fact
that with respect to armed conflicts
no nation is law to itself.
Our forefathers, thinking difficult
questions through, took note of prac-
ticalities. In our day we have an
exceptionally large number of per-
sons who rely on rhetoric and
formulas to make the world right.
In many American gatherings now
doubtless a resolution would carry
which said that no war could be en-
barked on except a plebiscite COM
manded it.

and this doctor reported him as having
not long to live, whereupon the Presi-
dent pardoned him. Morse, upon being
released, promptly reengaged in busi-
ness. The Angel of Death had suddenly
and miraculously lifted his shadow and
passed on, presumably to another
criminal desiring a pardon.
Now, what is the remedy?
In all diffidencc, would outline a
suggestion. Let the pardoning power
be entirely taken from the Governor
and vested in a Board of Pardons.
From the nature of their work, requir-
ing trained legal minds for the sitting
of evidence and weighing of facts
Questions of law in any given case
having presumably been passed upon
by the appellate tribunals), this board
should be composed of members of the
bar of conspicuous ability and, in or
der that this important body might
draw to itself able men, who in their
chosen profession are able to make
handsome incomes, the salaries of the
members of the Board of Pardons
should be ample and, in addition, the
members should have the right to con-
tinue the practice of their profession.
This board would require high minded,
able men if it is to function properly,
and some such provision is necessary
to secure them. They should, like jus
ticcs of the United States Supreme
Court, be appointed by the executive,
to wit, in this case, the Governor of
this state, and should hold office dur
ing good behavior practically for life
The law should further provide that no
member of the Board of Pardons could
be eligible to election to public Office of
any kind or to hold such during his in
cumbency in Office or until, say, one
year after his resignation from the
| board.

The New Railroad Era

Washington dispatches say that
one of the striking features of the
recent hearings before the Inter
state Commerce Commission is the
changed attitude of the shippers or
CARNATIONS. Those bodies used to be,
first, last and all the time, in favor
of holding down freight rates. The
experiences Of the war seem to
have greatly shaken their belief in
the value Of rock-bottom freight
charges. Government operation, with
it's embargoes and excessive delays,
and the manifest failure of the old
commission management to provide
for an expansion of transportation
facilities have exploded the idea
that pairing rates for the sake of
pairing them always-~pays in the
long run. .5a.
Even in the early period of the
war, before the United States en-
tered it, the shippers had begun to
see the light. They had become more
liberal-minded than the majority of
the Interstate Commerce commits
sioners. They saw that poor service
was dear.
The loss to the country through
al impoverished railroad service is
always likely to overbalance the saw
ing in freight bills. The war was
needed to drive this lesson home to
the shippers, who, after all, are only
the nominal purchasers of transpor-
tation, since the cost is ultimately
passed along to the consumer. Both
shipper and consumer are better off
if the carriers are operated eff
GENTLY and constant betterments are
made possible by little larger mar
gin of return to the railroad.
The public generally has been edu-
Gated to clearer conception of the
elements of the railroad problem.
Only the Interstate Commerce Com
mission seems to remain under the
spell of the old restrictive theory. 1t,
too, may be able eventually to catch
the spirit of the new railroad era.

To the Editor of the Tribune.

10 the EDITOR OF the tribune.
Sir: ] agree in every respect with
your editorial on capital punishment,
and this opinion is that Of many of
my friends. Sometimes the apathy
of the people, as William Lloyd Gar
rison once said, is enough to "make
every statue leap from it's pedestal and
hasten the resurrection Of the dead"
No one cuts off a sore thumb because
he has blister. 1t is foolhardy to
send man to eternity--to say moth
ing of the barbarity of the method
when that man is capable of producing
useful things for the rest of mankind.
Lay aside a place where those guilty
Of murder can be put to work at
twelve hours day, if necessary, to
produce for those who can't afford to
pay. What could be more simple or
commonsensible?
And how contradictory are the pro-
fessions and assertions of those who
advocate capital punishment! Is Christ
worshiped for the deaths he COM
manded? Is Portia hated because she
spoke we'll of the quality of mercy? :?
Is Lincoln revered because he con-
demned or pardoned?
And when it comes to deterrents-
would not Gyp the Blood have hesi-
tated just as much in the presence
of lifelong work for others without
compensation as in face of death
chair? C. 2. CLEVELAND.

Part of Soviet Program,

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. The interesting point in regard
to the proposed abolition of capital pun
ishment is merely that it is an inher
ent part of the program which has in
view the sovieting of the United States
1t will exempt traitors from the full
penalty Of their crimes. 1t will fur
ther soften and emasculate this nation,
which is now suffering from alternate
excesses Of sentimentality and ferocity.
Crime is increasing, resistance is de-
creasing. The law to command respect
must have force behind it. Defend the
law and study the fate of Russia,
which prohibited vodka and abolished
capital punishment and fell into the
hands of the Germans unresistingly.
