A Guest From Uruguay.

This afternoon e "guos. Of the na-
ton" arrives, not a king or n prince.
but a citizen Of one OF the South
American republics. DR.. Juan An
tonic Buero, minister Of foreign af-
fairs of Uruguay, comes on the in
vitation of this government to visit
the capital and to get acquainted with
the ways and methods Of this country
Such an invitation is seldom ex-
tended. Uruguay is honored in its
tender, and the United States is also
honored in its acceptance. Uruguay
is one of the progressive countries of
the southern hemisphere, prosperous
and advancing steadily. Between the
two countries good relations have al
ways been maintained. and it is fitting
that this visitation should occur, to
cement the friendship of the two gov
ernments and to insure continued and
increasingly cordial sentiments of mu-
tual appreciation and good will.

Gen. Wood was an intimate friend

of which are now under discussion.
He was very desirous of seeing serv

serving Of such an assignment. But
the decision was against him, and he
had TO content himself with duties
here at home.
But he is not seeking the presi-
dency in the role Of martyr, nor
travelling" so to say, on the reputa-
tion of his departed friend. He has
claims upon attention growing out of
the political situation as it now ex.
lists, and which his friends are stress

So that when he speaks in this debate

excellent opportunity for him to sat

Gen. Woods Views.

There Is something very promising
in this announcement from Chicago:
Gen. Leonard Wood tonight ac-
cepted the challenge of Senator Miles
Poindexter of Washington to meet
Linn in debate in Pierre, S. D.,
March 90"
Great and general interest attaches
to Gen. Woods candidacy for the re-
publican nomination for President.
He is national figure and quantity
He was born in the east, and has lived
in the west. As a soldier he has
served in all sections, and is today
respected in all. He has support in
all for his political aspirations.
On some issues Gen. Woods views
are well known. He is sturdy cham
pion of American institutions. As a
champion of preparedness TO protect
those institutions he has record that
shines brightly. He favors an ade-
quate Army and an adequate Navy.
On other issues that will enter into
the presidential campaign Gen. Woods
views are not so well known. Being
soldier in service, he has confined
his attentions chiefly to questions in
the line of his profession. But that
no issue of interest to the public has
escaped him or found him Indifferent
Is an easy guess.
This debate at Pierre, S. D., should
develop Gen. Woods full line of
thought as respects the presidency
ard all subjects related to the Office.

Never Start Wrong"

A young man was electrocuted last
night at Sing Sing, n. Y, for the
murder of two bank clerks in Brook
lyn. He went to the death chair with
remarkable nerve, maintaining to
| the last the nonchalance which he had
! displayed from the moment of his
| arrest for another crime in the west
He refused spiritual solace at the end
but said to priest who asked him
for message to the youth of the
country:
'I don't wish to appear in the light
of a moralist. but you can tell them
for me never to start wrong. Once
you get started in crime You can never
stop
This mans career was an exempli-
fication of the truth of his admoni-
ton. Well educated, of good family
though he never disclosed his con-
nections-and with superior advan-
tages when on the threshold of man.
few years he ended his days in the
electric chair. He was the coldest-
blooded criminal who has been taken
by the law in many years. Appar-
emily he was not a typical case, but
his fate nevertheless serves as distinct
warning to young men.
In recent years tendency has pre-
vailed to lessen the penalties for
crime. The law gives a much better
chance for the wrong-doer than ever.
Probation is granted to first offend
ers. Paroles are given to prisoners
who manifest disposition to reform.
Sentences are lighter Prison condi-
tions are infinitely better than in the
past. Education is offered to men
serving terms. Everything possible
is done to effect reformation.
Still the criminal bent continues to
manifest itself. Whether from a
spirit of adventure, or from neces-
sity, or in acceptance of the challenge
of the law, young men embark on
careers of crime. Their beginnings
may be accidental, or deliberate.
They take chances, and eventually,
with few exceptions, they are caught
and punished. The chances are over
whelmingly. against them.
This man Handy in an earlier
period would probably have been a
freebooter, a bandit. In these times
he was an anachronism, a reversal to
type that is slowly passing. The
confirmed criminal is usually the
product of environment. So far as
known Handy had no excuse in his
circumstances for his deliberate adop-
ton of this career.
The moral lesson taught by this
mans course and fate should be i'm
pressed upon all young men. In the
schools and in the churches he might
profitably be made the subject of
teachings. His final words, given to
the priest whose services he spurned
in his last hour, constitute a most i'm
pressive text for the youth of Amer
lea.

Prohibition at San Francisco.

Gov. Edwards Of New Jersey has
displaced Chairman Cummings of the
democratic national committee in the
discussion of prohibition with Mr..
Bryan. The change will add to popu-
lar interest in the controversy.
Gov. Edwards may be described as
a wet of the wets-politically consid<
cred, as the wettest wet in the coun-
try. He is in office solely by reason
of his pledged devotion to the wet

cratic party for years. He and many
of his friends believe that it was in
part his championship of prohibition
which kept him out of the White
House in his three attempts to get
there
On the question of prohibition these
two men are as the poles apart. 1t
would appear impossible to bring
them together. And yet both are
democrats, and likely to meet at San
Francisco. Both are mentioned in
connection with the democratic nomi-
nation for President.
While Gov. Edwards is not, and not
likely to become, formidable figure
in the presidential equation, the
cause for which he stands is certain
TO have vigorous champions at San
Francisco insisting on some sort of
recognition for it in the platform.
So that it is not Gov. Edwards so
much as the prohibition influence
Mr.. Bryan is now stacked up against
He has fight On his hands which
will try his mettle and resources as

Mr.. Bryan could not support Gov
Edwards or any other man for Presi-
dent standing on platform demand
ing the repeal, or the notification in
directly, of the eighteenth amend
ment to the Constitution, nor could
Gov. Edwards support Mr.. Bryan for
President on platform demanding

of that enactment. And nomination
made on a platform evading the pro-
hibition issue would not be worth ac-
ceptance.

many ways the judgment of those
