feet upon those in whose life might
come future temptations to Stay or to
rob or to burn
SO firmly the sheriff believed in the
efficacy of this idea he persisted in
it despite the request from Governor
Frank o. Lowden that he abandon the
plan and the added protests from
scores of other persons who thought
the scheme unnecessarily brutal.
Accordingly the stage was set in the
death chamber. Outrage was led
forth. The quiet in the death cham
Der became absolute for a moment.
Then the moose was slipped over the
murderer's head. From one of the
higher tiers came a strident shout:
when do we eat?"
Tier by tier, cell by cell, the cry was
taken up. l. became a roar above
which the warders' voices could not
be heard. The trap was sprung. Dur
rage dropped into the space beneath
the scaffold-dead.
Sheriff Peters issued a statement
answering critics who opposed his ac-
ton. The statement says:
I'm my opinion the modern coddl-
ing of criminals by well meaning, but
misguided, sympathetic, theoretical re-
formers and self constituted organiZa-
lions is one of the greatest causes of
the present crime wave in this city.
eff one-half of the energy now spent
in sympathy on murderers and crimi-
nails would be devoted to the families
of the victims and the other half to
bringing to justice the brutes who
have blotted out the lives of law
abiding and peaceful citizens and
darkened forever the lives of others,
this would be a happier and safer
world to live in"

W0MAN'S TRADE LEAGUE
HEARS POLITICAL DEBATE
Miss Mary Stewart, Republican,
and Mrs. Antoinette Funk, Dem
ocrat, Tell of Party Deeds.

There is much that is unworthy
and unpatriotic and corrupt in both
old political parties. but the new
Voters-the women = cannot hold
aloof. They must get into one party
or the other and use their good in
fiuence to make both parties really
voice the highest aspirations of the
great mass of the people.
That was the gist of a speech made
last night by Miss Mary Stewart of
the republican national committee to
the Women's Trade Union League,
at 1923 New York avenue Opposing
her was Mrs. Antoinette Funk of the
democratic national committee.
Speaking first. Mrs. Funk said the
Sixty-sixth Congress had talked
more and accomplished less than any
other in history. Excepting such
trifing things as giving discharged
soldiers a part of their equipment
for souvenirs, this Congress. she de-
clared. had done nothing for soldiers
Secretary Lanes land project was
buried in committee. Postwar re-
construction Jagged. Bonus plans had
evaporated in promises.
Mrs. Funk sharply criticised Low
den. Wood. Harding and Lodge as
presidential material. She praised
President Wilson and William G. Nc
Adoo. but did not mention other lead
ers in the administration. The fed
eral reserve system and the farm
loan system were held up as demo-
cratic achievements.
In reply, Miss Stewart declared it
was the republicans of the Sixty
sixth Congress who won suffrage for
women. In the Senate SO per cent of
the republicans and but "a per cent
of the democrats voted for it. "Gen-
orally speaking" she said. II have
found that about so per cent of the
republicans of the country are
forward looking. against about so
per cent of the democrats"
Miss Mary Anderson. chairman of
the league. presided at the meeting.

William Butler Yeats Lectures at
Society of Fine Arts.

THE Younger Generation of Poets"
was the subject of lecture by Will
liam Butler Yeats the Irish poet
given at Central High School under
the auspices of the Washington So
ciety of the Fine Arts.
Mr.. Yeats read nuperous extracts
from present-day poems and TOUCHED
briefly upon the lives of the younger
writer's. dwelling upon Tramp
Davis Once or twice he ventured
into prophecy, reading efforts which
he predicted would be immortal in
years to come.
Touching upon the war Mr.. Yeats
said the world conflict had brought
about an absolutely changed ireland.
Nothing is the same. Even before the
war the, currents of literature in Eng
land and Ireland had taken different
channels
Very few subjective poems have
been written on the war so far. the
lecturer asserted, probably because we
are too near the conflict.
