To the Editor of the Bulletin. Sir:
Sir:
In the Bee of the 18th inst.
find letter headed "Gas Killings
Opposed"
This letter reminds me of the small
boys definition of lobster, which he
said was red fish that walked back
wards, but the teacher i'll correcting
this, said it was Q. K, except that
lobster was not fish; it was not red
and it did not walk backwards.
Your lady correspondent bemoans
the fate of those two poor Chinese
who are to pay the death penalty by
being shut in an air-tight glass house
and have lethal gas turned OH them
until they choke to deathF' What
wonderful imagination.
Like the definition above referred to
it is correct, save that the reference
to the poor" Chinese, is singularly ill-
correct, and to date, not even the
Warden of the State Prison. Or the
Board of Prison Commissioners have
decided just how the lethal gas
Is to be administered.
rr1. o,,I ti,0
choking to death exist only in th'
lady's imagination, for there are more
ways of choking the devil than By
feeding him ice cream.
The fact is, that this correspondent,
like other sob-sisters, completely over
looks the atrocious crime for which
these men, after conviction by jury
who heard the evidence, have beel
sentenced to pay the penalty By con
fession of one, and the testimony ia
ken at the trial, they are two coward
ly assassins, who called their victim to
the door of his cabin in the middle OF
the night, and shot him down with
out warning.
We are not concerned with the pun-
ishments inflicted upon murderers in
China but we Believe that our own
laws should be upheld
incidentally, even if he desired to do
so, the President of the United
States could not stop this execution,
in the event that the legality of the
conviction is upheld by the Courts.
The Supreme Court of the United
States, Gn re Kenunler, BAL, Ed. 500
has heretofore decided that it is with
in the legitimate sphere of Legislative
action to fix the manner of infictng
the death penalty, and that death is
not cruel and unusual punishment.
When the Legislature of Nevada de-
creed that death by hanging or shoot
ing should be abolished, as a penalty
ior first degree murder and substi-
tuted the administration of lethal gas,
it to be understood that it was with
desire to substitute more humane
and less shocking method of put
ting condemned criminals to death
than has heretofore obtained. Pos
sibly your correspondent has some
scientific information upon the sub
ject of painless death, which she might
submit to the next Legislature TO Ne
80 L., Co.
AS the District Attorney who prose
cuted these murderers, take pleasure
in assuring your correspondent that
her sympathy is entirely misplaced
and they richly deserve the penalty de-
creed them by the jury which heard
the evidence
Respectfully,
Fl. WHITE

GAS KILLING OPPOSED

To the Editor of the Bee-SH.
i have been waiting very patiently
for some one to start a protestation il
regard to those two poor Chinese who
are to pay the death penalty by being
shut in an air-tight glass house and
have lethal gas turned on them until
they choke to death. Who, in this
G reat world of ours, SO full of love
and intelligence, can even approve
of such a crue! thing? / could not
kill a rattlesnake with such torture.
Those Nevada lawmakers should
have a brother or some relative in
China. Would they not love to have
similar justice meted out to them in
in case of any trouble Now
believe all of the people of the United
States should appeal to our good
President of the United States and sec
that no such laws are enforced Let
us hear from the people on this sub
ject.

FOOD AND MATRIMONY.

The wife divorced because her hus-
band does not supply her with
money to buy food is seen often
enough. The other day a Justice
IN Brooklyn, N. Y, ruled that fail
IRE to cook a MANI breakfast is
ground for separation, and granted
decree. In four years of married
life the wife had never cooked her
husbands breakfast.
This wife, one is left to infer,
neglected wifely duties out OF sloth,
for which there is no excuse. But
Mrs. Christine Frederick, who has
had much experience in domestic
matters, says even a career isn't any
reason for letting husband go
hungry or improperly fed She
maintains that a husband is not
excused from such husbandly duties
as providing the wherewithal for
food shelter, clothing and other
necessaries just because he has an
outside job. Neither should wom-
an be excused from her job OF cook
ing, nursing, purchasing and so on
if she has an outside job. If she
prefers the outside job, that is all
right, if she earns enough to pay
somebody else to substitute compe-
tently for her services in the house
hold. But before she turns over
the mothering part of her job to
nurse or housekeeper, she ought to
be pretty sure the substituting is
competent; and the managing part
cannot be turned over at all
This logic, applied to the anti
breakfast lady, would seem to be
that il she were not willing TO arise
in time to prepare the coffee, eggs
and toast neatly, competently and
appetizingly, as husband deserves
that was all right if some time in
the day she earned enough money to
provide some one who would prepare
the matutinal nourishment neatly
competently and appetizingly fol
them both.
1t seems to be pretty sensible
piece of logic, which if carried out
unfalteringly might untangle many
a troublesome family snarl.
