morning of Raffalo Durrage, double
murderer, as on object lesson, has
Z brought forth many protests.
Mis- Jane Adams Of Hull House
says:
"The notion that such an exhibi.
tion will afford a deterrent to crime
is an old and savage punishment and
is survival of the times when the
heads of criminals were exhibited on
London bridge. 1t is taking step
backward to the dark times when II
was difficult to distinguish punish
ment itself from tribal vengeance"
Mis- Mary Mcdowell of the Uni
versity Of Chicago settlements says:
ut would have a very immoral ef-
feet on any criminals mind and is
wholly unnecessary. l wish to voice
a strenuous objection, and MRS. Ger
trude Howe Britton of Hull House
feels the same way about it as I do"
Harry C. Laubenheimer, first dep
uty sheriff, thinks differently His
opinion is:
II know from experience that any
one who has witnessed hanging will
never kill deliberately.
ut is the greatest lesson that can
be given criminal The prisoners
will be kept in cells, but will be placed
SO they can witness the execution.
I'll guarantee every one of them will
be sick of crime after they see Dur
rage hang"
DR.. j. A. Todd, professor and head
Of the University of Minnesota, was
very outspoken in denouncinf the
plan. Frank Wilson Blackmar, member
Of numerous prison assotions, also

! Galveston. Texas to a
report that at a recent meeting OF
farmers at Snyder their representa-
tives who came to Galveston and
Houston in an endeavor to sell their
crops of last season met with no re-
ception on the part of factors. local
cotton men were unable. TO call TO
mind the specific case mentioned,
and one of them looked over recent
correspondence with customers situa-
ted in the territory mentioned and
found no mention OF the matter
made.
However. without referring TO the
Snyder melting. Galveston factors
stated that there is a surplus of low
grade cotton on the market, one
dealer estimating the accumulation
of the last three years at approx
mately 100000 bales. Low
grades, most of them in extremely
poor condition when offered for sale,
have been and continue TO be almost
unstable except at sacrifice prices
For instance, on Oct. 16, sales OF
strict midd,mg were quoted on the
local exchange at 32c. Notwith-
standing this. local buyer paid 25c
for the grade. and while low mid
ding is quoted at % Lac. the same
buyer paid 21c. This is rather an
exceptional instance. as in most cas-
es the seller will refuse to accept a
low price for his staple, being in
clined to overlook its low grade.
The condition. however, is declared
not traceable TO lack of demand on
the part of the buyers, but is due 10
the desire of the sellers to get rid OF
old, almost unstable staple at fancy
prices. The large carry-over for the
last three years has caused the ac-
emulation OF much low grade cot
ton. Roughly estimated, 1t may be
said that possibly $4,000 bales of
the low grades are on hand at Gal
weston. $4,000 in Houston, and 1Oo,-
600 in New Orleans, while Memphis
and all other large markets have big
stocks of low grades on hand.
