The Law to Kill a Woman in
the District of Columbia
By BILL p II l @ X 4.

A dimnutve, ignorant possibly weak minded negro
girl Of the alley type was, few days sentenced by
Justice Stafford of the District Supreme Court, to be
hanged in June next for what the justice termed the pre-
meditated" murder of another girl.
In imposing the death sentence the justice remarked
that the law fixed the penalty and that he merely he
mouhpece of the law indicating reluctance on his part
to do what he could not officially avoid having latitude
No woman has been hanged in the District since Mrs.
Suat for alleged completely in the assassination of Pres

prisonment. There exenuang circumstances that
weighed in their favor.

Senator DIAL of South Carolina member of the Senate
District Committee, has introduced bill in Congress to

inhuman. He, like many Others feels that the District is

restoring the United States the condition Of English
colony.
For while during the peace treaty negotiations when
the ordinary people of the United States were not very
well represented it looked though this country had for
gotten about Washington and his teachings Then Eng
land much encouraged led by her ablest man. Lloyd George
prepared to do things with the United States that Eng
land would not dare to do with her own colonies.
It has been made clear however by Senators and
some newspapers, including this one, that Washington
memory is not oblterated and Washington looking down
on this birthday, could say to himself "A year ago
thought they had forgotten all about me- but guess
mistaken"
There are as many lessons in the life Of Washington
as there were days in his life
Washington, while he fought his countrys battles with
encouragement everywhere lost heart And he would
cent in pay from the Government that he was
defending and establishing with his magnificent courage
Not penny reward for all that he did How does that
impress the patriotic profteers that swarmed into Wash
ngton from their Wall Street Offices with nice philan-
thropc badges their chests tapping the Treasury wher
ever there opening?
Have you the little DEMON OF DIsCOURAGEMENT
sitting your shoulder whispering in your that
courage gone? That demon is the worst enemy Of
cess. If he bothers YOU study Washington
We think Of him as the victorious general and
statesman defeating English armies But victory and glory
came only at the end While he fighting, enduring
treachery of enemies and ukewarm support Of friends it

The Washington times., 1920-02-22

Washington was for whom the word Encouragement
did not exist. Luckily for this nation he was giant
physically well mentally. He could stand physical
blows and mental blows that would have overwhelmed any
other.
In his many failures and retreats he was thinking
always ABOUT THE NEXT FIGHT, and how he would
try win it, NOT about the encouragement of the moment
One lesson for those becoming too numerous In
America who believe that the possession of great wealth is
q thing to be criticised in itself
When Washington died HE WAS THE RICHEST
MAN IN THE UNITED STATES.
Don't Judge by what he HAS, Judge him by
what he DOES by his of acquiring what he
possesses.
If man has made his money honestly, matter how
much and if he honestly and consructvey honor
him a successful man.
In Washngton's day some were prejudiced against
him because of his wealth. They were foolish. 4.
Others denounced him. saying that he wanted to make
himself king because he held himself aoof from other
Other men had betrayed him often proved their
weakness by deserving his armies and their seshness in
thousand ways. No wonder he had low opinion of some
of them individually.
At his reception he stood with his hands behind his
back No shaking of hands for him, slapping the
back in the modern American politician way. His attitude
seemed say and very likely he said to himself II am
glad to have made you free in the mass but know you
so well that don't to shake hands with you in
dividuals Many of you let stand alone while
fighting for you. I'll stand alone now"
