Generalization that has ever been turned over TO any
party
We can take a Just satisfaction in the ten months
Of Republican administration. Our congress has made
a record in constructive, progressive Regulation that
has hardly been equaled by any previous congress- We
lave restored peace 10 our country and have led the
world farther on the highway of disarmament than
it has ever before travelled in all its history.
Before US there is opportunity and urgent neees-
sty for further achievement In order to get results
there Is need for mutual trust and confidence; for a
broadness of vision that shall be able TO overlook mi
nor interests for the sake Of great essentials
I'VE ask nobody TO surrender any Of his right of in
dividuaI opinion. We recognize that Wyoming is n
part of the United States the same as Rhode Island,
and tat Orlgon has the same interest and must have
the same voice on questions affecting the national vel
fare as Massachusetts. We want our historic party
and Embossed individual judgments We ask only that
measure of generosity and tolerance that will make
possible the compromises, the agreements, the adjust
ments, on which ut last all legislative accomplishments
must be based
Precisely because Republicans have always been
capable of making these concessions of common sense
to the common good, we have earned the confidence Of
the nation. Just in the measure that we shall coz
tinue capable Of such mutual concessions, such prae-
teal compromises, we shall deserve continued tenure
Of that confidence.
knowing as well as we do, The persons at Washing
ton and throughout the country. in whom is centered
the responsibility for our performance, we feel able
to give you assurance that our party is going to con-
tinue its successes, to lead the nation out into a bet
ter time, and to deserve of our people and the world
the good will that must accrue to sound leadership,
high purposes, and broad, constructive achievement"

Shall Children Be Put to Death?
By PEARCE BAILEY, M. i

Some dime in the gummer of 1870
two men, when successive commit
slons had pronuohced e be feeble In
mind, were executed in Sing Sing. The
second commission. after examina'
tons lasting several days. had re
ported that both prisoners wcre men
tai detectives. possessed OF a mentality
less than hat ar an average child OF
twelve years. II they hnd any clear
realization of what vas coming to
them they took a queer way OF show
ing It. as they laughed. sang. shouted
and danced to the end.
As TAR as they were concerned, It is
perhaps just as we'll that they did.
Together with two others mentally
normal, they had boon convicted Of
one of those brutal murders in which
us to frequency and wantonness. the
United States leads the world. and
then. though only children mentally,
they mad been the tools OF iniquity
too long to render It possible u turn
them to useful ends.
But the incident raises two impor-
tant questions in principle. Is It the
intention of the law to put children &c
death? and II not. is there any way o.
rendering such a practice unneces-
sary in certain cases ?
The law of the state Is explicit as TO
the sanctity of life In the average
child under twelve years. Actual prac-
tice goes even further. as no person
has yer been executed at Sing Sing
under h & Of eighteen years; an6
in New York City. since 1901. no per
sons under sixteen years of age has
ever been convicted Of murder in the
first degree. In actual practice age
is computed by the number OF years
that a person has lived But the stat.
ute hints strongly that. when mental
defect is concerned the age Of a per,on
must be considered In reference to
knowledge. realization. and the prof.
it's of experience-to mental age. In
other words.
The general test of responsibility, as
set forth In the penal law, section 1920
Is that a person is not excused from
responsibility except upon proof that
at the time Of the commission OF ths
criminal act he was laboring under
such a defect OF reason as.
1. Not TO know the nature ana oual.
~ 49, ho was uDiIlB. 81
2. Not to know that the act wa.
wrong. :
1t is evident hat tho word know
means more taan a mere awareness
of what is transpiring-implies a more
wrong than a more or less mechanical
recollection that wrong acts may be
followed by punishment
Such broad meanings must be
ascribed TO the word know" II a dis
tinction is to be maintained between
tho Knowing" Of men and Of animals
Two great, classes of abnormal peo
pie are affected by the legal test Of
responsibility-the insane and the
mentally deficient. But the penal law
is more explicit as to mental defec,
tives h as to the insane
AS far as the insane are concerned
the test is simply as quoted. The In,
depreciation OF know" is left to the
judges; and most of the disagree

THE WAVE OF wIcKEDNEss.

DR.. John Straton of Calvary Baptist church, New
York, tells the world from his pulpit Of the wicked
ness that sweeps it and the ''unholy trust that trains
and guides American youth. War, he declared, to be
the supreme immortality and the greatest of wars has
been followed by the widest range of immortality his
tory has known.
An appalling wave of lawlessness and immortality Is
sweeping the whole world, and the forces that pro-
duced the world war are the same forces that are be-
hind this lawlessness.
Modern civilization is not complex; It is the very
essence of simplicity and the fundamentals in order
ly society are the virtue of womanhood, the honor Of
manhood, the ~sanctity of the marriage vow, the prop
er handling of children, and a right church life. These
fundamentals the speaker emphasized. Right church
life is fundamental because it is through the church
that the other fundamentals have been made to the
race. There can be no such right church life without
a proper regard for the Lords Day-the one day in
seven for rest and worship. q
Applying these fundamentals to society as It exists
today DR.. Straton declared that there is being levied
against the Sabbath a most terrific assault, an ugly at
tack that is shocking, and the worst offenders are
movies and theatrical life, which are tearing down and
destroying the Sabbath. Half a million of boys and
girls in New York., from Protestant homes, are not in
Sunday schools, and contemporaneous with their dis
appearance from the school and church has been the
development of the movie picture houses in New York.
In all his experience, he said, he has never encounter
ed a group OF men anywhere so manifestly of degen-
Grafton and sensuality as the movie theater proup in
New York, Prize fighters, sporting associations. NOV
les and theatricals and the liquor interests are the
"unholy Trust" which is working for the destruction
Of the children of America. It is an influence alien
to all Christian teaching that controls the entertain
ment OF the chidren-a most distressing, unjust and
mtoierable thing that such a trust should dictate what
the American children should see.
Morality without religion has never lived. II would
ne a supreme miracle if society could raise a sturdy
race on the diet it is giving the children today-mov-
ies' cigarettes, dances and chewing gum.

mcnts which take place at criminal

Germ the meaning ascribed to this sig
nificant word
But In fixing the responsibility of
mental detectives additional provis.
ions exis. which seem In n manner to

CARDS this particular class
Section SIT of the 1enal law pro.
vides that a child OF seven years and
under twelve years Is presumed to BIO
incapable Of crime. At first sight this
might seem to mean, as in actual
practice It does mean, that childhood.
In the eyes Of the law, is determined
solely in terms of years. But this can
not be so, as is indicated clearly by a
qualifying sentence In this same sec
ton. which reads: THE presumption
Of responsibility may be removed by
proof that the child had sufficient ca
pacity to understand the act of neg.
lect charged against him n to know
its wrongfulness.'
1t Is a poor rule that works oniy one
way. If the statute provides that d
child of under twelve may be shown
above that of average children OF it's
age. and be held responsible by reason
OF It, 1t would seem that the statute
Intends that a child who Is over twelve

THE LITTLE BLACK HEN
Said the little red rooster, Gosh all
hemlock! Things are tough.
Seems that worms are getting
scarcer, and l can't find enough.
What's become of all those fat ones
is mystery to me;
There were thousands thru that
rainy spell but now where can
they be?"
The old black hen who heard him
didn't grumble or complain,
She had gone thru lots of dry spells.
she had lived thru floods of rain.
So she flew up on the grindstone, and
she gave her claws whet,
AS she said, 1--WE never seen the
time there weren't worms to get. y
She picked new and undug spot;
the earth was hard and firm,
The little rooster jeered, New ground
That's no place for worm
The old black hen just spread hel
feet, she dug both fast and free
II must go to the worms" she said
"the worms won't come to me.
The rooster vainly spent his day
through habit, by the ways
Where fat round worms had passed
in squads back in the rainy days
When nightfall found him supperless
he growled in accents rough,
I'm hungry as fowl can be. Con
ditions sure are tough"
He turned then to the old black hel
and said, Its worse with you
For you're not only hungry but yo'
must be tired too.
l rested while I watched for worms
so l feel fairly perk;
But how are you? Without worm
too? And after all that work :?
The old black hen hoped to he
perch and dropped her eyes t
sleep,
And murmured in a drowsy tone
Young man, hear this and weeI
I'm full of worms and happy, for
The worms are there as always
but had to dig like hell
Oh, here and there red ROSTERS sti
are holding sales positions.
They cannot do much business no
because of poor conditions.
But soon as things get right again
They'll sell a hundred firms
Meanwhile the old black hens are OIL
and gobbling up the worms.
