stocks, added greatly in the last
half of the session to sentiment in
favor of lower prices for wheat.
Gossip that the Canadian govern
ment might reduce its crop esti-
mate 2S.000,O00 bushels was also
without much effect toward bring
ing in buying orders. The market,
however, rallied somewhat at the
last owing TO profit taking on the
part of houses that had sold freely
when the market WAS higher mp.
Sharp declines in the price OF
corn and oats resulted from the
downward swing Of wheat values.
Announcement that disappearance
of corn during the winter was the
largest on record was without any
apparent influence as an offset.
Provision prices went down

distinctive title of. Mayors Row"
In support of this he recalls that
OF our mayors, johnson, Hichborn,
Choate, Robertson and Swift at the

on this side. He thinks the indica-
tions that Mr.. Sawtelle, also a resi-
dent of that side OF the street, may

OF course the Journal was in duty
bound to ascertain whether there
might be some gentlemen Of color
lurking in the Winthrop street wood
piles, some Spectator wishing to take
advantage OF the glowing sentiment
OF Better Homes" weekly the way
this could only refer to rank
outsider, as those who dwell under
the awe of Winthrop streets stately

and dignity inseparable from such

ornition. Now watch the price or

Lafayette Park
Motor Road to be
Wonderful Route

Bar Harbor. Me, oct. ll.-(Spec.
iaD-Construction has been started
by the Government on n motor road
to the summit Of Cadillac Mountain
in Lafayette National Park, the high
est point upon our Atlantic coast
with 4 magnificent sea view. The
construction now contemplated will
cover over 1000 feet in length, bring
ing the road to an elevation of SO
feet above sea level. Funds for the
construction of the remainder OF the
road. approximately four miles IN
length, have been asked Tor by the
Secretary of tho Interior in his csti-
mates for the fiscal year OF 1924 sub
the construction to bc completed in
three years.
The road as planned by the Sec
retaIy Of tho Interior and the Ma
tIonal Park Service calls for the best
and most permanent construction
and for road of easy ascending
grade ana liberal width. No such
road as this from the scenic point of
view exists in Eastern North Amori-
ca, and great credit should be given
to Secretary Albert +. Fan, of the
Interior. and to the Director of the
National Park Service for this pro-
jcct.
The road takes its rise from the
summit of Great Pond Hill in the
vicinity of Bar Harbor and the
views from it are superb from its

Torture Up to Date
/Dorfo~ rI0L@N

A young man has been arrested in
New Jersey charged with an afro
cious murder. His arrest followed
upon charges made by a comrade
during what the press reports set
forth as "a severe grilling," and what
Americans have heard of, generally.
before now, as "the third degree"
The man who made the statements
which are supposed to have inculpat-
ed the person under arrest was taken
into chamber and put thro Igh that
third degree for "a continuous hours.
He got no rest, he received on food.
outside the door of the room "heard
groans and sobs' from the victim
Finally, the triumphant authorities
emerged with their desired statement
and the discloser of the alleged
facts was taken to bed.
1t does not matter that the state
ment made by the victim to the police
detectives is so full of holes, as far
as logic and attention to events al
ready known about that particular
murder case are concerned, that the
mere reading of the dispatches nau-
seates.
The question is not whether the
man under arrest is guilty. The
question is. rather, are not we our
selves guilty for tolerating such a
performance as went on in that room
in New Jersey?
A man, believed to know something
that the authorities want to learn, is
tortured SO as to cot a statement on
the strength Of which they may arrest
another. This system is common to
most of the States of the Union, if
not to all. That it flies in the face
Of all ychology-because the vic
tim will state almost anything his
inquisitors desire stated, to escape
further torture-this does not seem
to matter.
Who is guilty, ladies and gentle
men? Who is to blame for the sane
ton of the third degree?
Or shall we content ourselves with
resolutions, passed in our churches,
against tho barbarous Turk?

Was Hangman
Drunk or Excited?

Fredericton, y. B., Oct. 11-At-
torney General Byrne announced
Tuesday that an investigation will be
conducted by the Provincial author
tiles into the execution of Bonnie
Swim, twice reprieved double MUIR
derer, who was twice hanged at
Woodstock last Friday as a result Of
the bungling Of a hangman named
NJ a. Doyle Of Montreal, who is all
legged to have been so much under
the influence of liquor when he at
tempted to carry out the death SEN
tcnce of the court that he could not
much more than stand at the gall
lows.
Arrangements for the investigation
Will be completed at the meeting of
the provincial government this week.
IL Is understood that the attorney
general has consulted with Premier
Foster in the matter and the pro-
vincial authorities have determined
that in justice to Sheriff Foster, who
is a provincial official there should
be an inquiry which would give him
an opportunity Of showing that he
had taken every reasonable precau-
ton to have the sentence of the court
properly carried out and that the fact
that the execution was bungled was
nc fault of his.

"A Tribute

These words came to me as
looked upon the picture Of Hon.
VIM. P. Whitehousc in the Ken
nebec Journal this morning and
read that he was dead:
"IIe that nveth and believeth
In Me shall never die"
In mortal sense, he Is indeed
dead, but Judge Whitehouse
lived, according to the meaning
of the words above quoted ut
tered by the worlds Redeemer,
Palestine two thousand years
ago. And SO he will never die.
The Judge Nhitehouse so many
of US knew for SO many years,
and loved and Tovered so much,
is not dead. He still lives and
will live in the hearts and affec-
tions Of all who knew him.
While he was privileged to min
gle with his fellow men, he will
live forever while recorded his
tory exists; while the records
Of our courts endure; while fu-
ture generations are permitted
to know Of the long, long past
and of the lives and deeds OF
those who have crossed over the
unknown sea to the unknown
shore"
when I first knew Judge
Whitehouse he was county attor-
ney of Kennet<c county, 40 years
ago. Our frielfS0hip dates from
that time. I have known him
intimately and well all the years
since. have never known
better man. have never known
a mere devoted man to his fam
lily, his profession and to the
highest ideals.
He was always popular IN the
best sense of that term. Every
BODY seemed to love him and re-
spect him instinctively. he was
the gentle. kindly, loveable man.
always; whether in the depths OF
the forest on a hunting trip, at a
social gathering, or in the court
room on the bench. ON, now
many young attorneys that ne
has helped over ragged rocks
will bless his memory!
He was a great jurist, a great
lawyer, great, good and just
judge.
The people Of this State have
met with an irreparable loss IN
his going from Us-a loss IN
every sense in which that WORD
can be used.
