No Need to Hang Robbers.

The bill which has Just gone
through the Arkansas state sena te
providing capital punishment for
bank robbery seems to be mistake
Of excess. Such n statute II absolute
would rather tend TO hinder the pros
ccution of offenders than 10 deter
them from crime. AS Il is only per-
missiye in its terms it Is pretty sure,
IL II ever becomes law, 70 remain a
dead letter and so to encourage con.
tempt for law In general
10 Is difficult to obtain conviction OF
murderers when the verdict Of guilty
carries the death penalty with It.
Juries shrink, except in extreme cases
from the responsibility for taklng life
How much more reluctant would they
he when only property and not life
was involved IN the crime. Alabama
and Virginia theoretically impose tho
death sentence for robbery and Della.
ware, Louisiana. North Carolina and
Virginia for burglary, but the pen.
atty is seldom II ever inflicted.
Tn fact. there is no need OF more
law to discourage bank robbery or
auy other offence. There Is plenty Of
law. plenty Of severe punishment If
'ac Inv &c enforced. IL is not On Ia.

Two and quarter years after the
signing Of the armistice large part
Of the world still glows over the war
embers; some Of 1t seethes. Men and
leaders of men think hard thoughts
and do ugly deeds to infiame the pas
sions of races and rock the founda-
tons OF nations.
The American people are clearer OF
after war disturbances, hatreds and
suspicious than perhaps any other
great Power that either entered the
conflict or kept out Of 1t. They are
slow to affront those who were their
foes; they are loath to attribute III
TO those who we're their friends. But
if amid all the uproar of the Old
World they remain dispassionate, cool
and neighborly it is not because their
interests are not disregarded and
their patience tried in quarters which
need the good will and the good Of
fees Of the United States more than
the United States needs theirs.
Yet the American people. thank
Heaven, do continue to be patient
and friendly.

ond and the Cubs were quick to note
the error.
The ball was relayed TO second Evers
touched the bag and the umpire called
Merkle out. retiring the side and de-
priving the Giants OF the winning run.
The game broke up in confusion. but
later the Cubs beat the Giants in the
deciding game for the pennant.
From that time on Merkle was a
marked man. At the Polo Grounds and
out of town grounds he was referred
20 privately and publicly as a bonehead.
The abuse would have broken down
many men, but Merkle took It like the
game man he is retaliating only by
playing better ball. In spite of bad
luck he became star, winning over
as his friends many Of those who for
merry abused him. He retires as one
OF the most popular players in the Ma

Plucky Fred Merkle.
A Baseball Star Who Made a His
toric Error in Pennant Game.

TO THE New YoRK HERALD: News
that Fred Merisle has been released by
tho Chicago club OF the National Jeague
means more &c baseball lovers IN New
York than merely the dropping of a
popular bali player from the ranks Of
the major leagues. II does not seem
right that he should oe permitted TO
sinls into tho comparative secluslon Of
n minor league without something good
being said about him.
No doubt the memories OF many Of US
VIII turn back 70 that afternoon in Sep
tember. 1908. when the Giants were in
the midst Of an exciting pennant race
and Fred Merfls was Just beginning TO
appear on the horizon as the successor
OF the then regular first bRsoman. Even
at that time Merkle had displayed ruffl-
cient ability 20 convince McGraw that
he was big league timber. Until Sep
tenber 2s. however. there was nothing
TO indicate that Merkle would occupy In
the baseball public's mini any place
other than that OF kid who had come
up and made good.
But then something happened and
Mersle became the most discussed player
