CRUEL AND UNEQUAL
miami Herald.)

In an effort to remove some of the horrors Of
capital punishment the legislature of Nevada
seems to have attained the very contamination
of cruelty in i S method of inhicting the death
penalty. law recently adopted in that state
and which is shortly to be put into effect in the
case OF two murderers, provides that death shall
be brough; about by means of a lethal gas, given
without the knowledge of the convicted men at a
time unrevealed to them before their death
Tie sentence imposed upon the two men speci-
1ies that during certain week, some time in The
future they will receive the gas while they are
asleep. The purpose CT the law is to remove
disagreeable associations of the gibbet or the
electric chair and make death as painless and
pleasant as possible.
Assuming tina. this is a desirable thing, the
Nevada legislature has succeeded in providing
method infinitely worse than any heretofore used
in the execution of criminals The lawmakers
to have entirely overlooked the fact that
the profoundest depths Of suffering are brought
no; by mere physical pain, but by mental
anguish. Against a definite date and a positive
act almost anyone can steel his mind. The idea
was expressed by Browning in one of his great
est poems, in which he desired to meet death
face to face as a man, and prayed that the grim
reaper might not creep upon him unaware. There

pose on anyone the haunting uncertainty of
certain coming death.
An old-time theology sought to emphasize the
effects of sin by setting up hell Of physical SUI
fering. The newer thought has lifted punish
ment Gu, of the realm of physical into that of
the mental and spiritual, and has thereby en-
HANGED vastly its intensity. There is no terror
like that of the mind, and if the Nevada legis-
lature has deliberately sought to crea e a brief
hell for the men convicted of capital crime in
Tie western state, me ,hod could have
been adopted. AS a means of relieving suffer-
ing however the lethal gas system will be
complete failure

pertinent has been tried by a number of roads with
marked success. The Seaboard is running one

lords some amusement from its diminutiveness, it
seems to be giving good satisfaction.
Advocates of the motor cars claim they will
eventually displace the steam train Be this as it
may, they supply very desirable missing link"

mixed train which not only mixes freight and pas

DO YOU EVER THINK?
S. Petersburg Times.)

Foolish question, is it, to ask, DO you ever
Think"
Certainly you do, for no man can perform the
simplest acts of life without thought
But this everyday thinking is merely the think
ing thaS belongs to the necessary things of life
Do you on the other hand. take time to think
about the problems of mankind? Do you ever
seek the quiet of your own room and spend a
few minutes in meditation upon the course of
your own life? Do you ever calmly deliberate
within your own self the things which you might
contribute to the betterment of the race?
Perhaps you may think" that you think"
But do you really study?
And here might be quoted The remark of Ar
thur Brisbane, the great editorial writer of the
Hearst organization, who said
Thinking, to the average man, is like stand
ing on its hind legs is to dog-possible, but not
pleasant"
America-ye5, he world.-needs today more
thinkers.
1t has become so easy to let others do our
thinking for US that few men and few women
actually think. They fool themselves sometimes
into believing that they are thinking when they
are doing naugh. but redigesting the thoughts
of others.
Editors get into the same rut. So many OF
them, like the rest of the world, do this or that
bit Of thoughtless writing upon various subjects
before the eyes of the world They merely pratt.
tie along in the same lines with other and better
editors who set the pace.
Real thinkers are few. When there are more
and better thinkers the world will be better
world in which to live.
You can help by doing a little thinking for
yourself.
But viii you?

WHY ELEVATORS

Beach Post relating to elevators for corn grown

philosophy of corn growing Is not understood in

grown in Florida could hardly be expected to be
a success. Ii would have to compete with Tie

Is produced, in the general markets of the country
Corn should be grown in this STATE we believe,
much more extensively than it is. but entirely for

rural interests. it could be utilized without the ne
cessity of expensive storage or shipping charges.

advantage. mainly because they are not fattened

AS Others See 1t
GROWING CORN IN THE EVERGLADES
palm Beach Post

BY degrees the necessity of growing staple
crops in the Everglades is being impressed upon
those who are interested in this section
1t is no. to be charged to slow comprehension
or any lack of a proper knowledge of conditions
that progress in this respect has been tardy.
Rather it has been inability to bring about a
community of purpose in making condition that
could be dealt with in the concrete.
Hence, the article in this issue of the Post
from DR.. Thos E. Will in regard to establishing
a grain elevator is of immediate and intimate
interest to every farmer in the 'Glades, whether
or no: he is interested in the growing of grain
Whether the planter be engaged in citrus or avo-
cado culture, it is of concern to him that an
opportunity for having ready market for corn
is permitted to pass.
1t seems that DR.. Will has inves igated this
enterprise with much thoroughness, and the
elevator will be built if the farmers will grow
the corn.
DR.. viii points out that as much has
been produced in this territory in a single
as would be required to secure the building of
an elevator, but the acreage scattered and
unquestionably was not Of much profit to the
planters
Now comes the chance-the big chance-to
have grain elevator. The party a. interest
proposes to build if assurance is given that from
$4,000 to 100000 bushels of corn is produced for
his enterprise.
Fair enough. This brings the market to the
farmer and the farmer should be willing to do
his part. The initiative taken by DR.. Will should
be followed up by community &C ion.
The machinery for such action already exists
in the community council

stage an educational campaign-also more profit

The lack of elevators and other storage facili-
ties should not deter corn growers. They should
plant the grain, then make arrangements either to
buy enough cattle and hogs to consume the pro-
duct or to sell to somebody who has these animals

persons suppose and in its final development corn
is going 10 play much bigger part than it does
now. The field is open for pioneering and it is

A MASTERPIECE OF IRONY

A few generations ago the ironical style was
much mere in vogue than now Swift set the
pace. In his hands it a weapon as powerful
as the sword Of King Arthur. With it he hewed
away all factitious arguments, cut through the
thick hide Of prejudice. and laid bare the ugly
facts in all their hdeousncss. His essays, The
Tale of Tub" and 'Culliver's Travels, will
always remain the standards for those who desire
to cultivate this form of disqusition.
Modern writers occasionally essay something in
that line, but the difficulty Of maintaining the ronic
STYLE tone and poise is SO great that it is usually
avoided. A really successful effort to treat a
modern question in the style CT Swift is therefore
notable
An editorial in The Miami Herald, under The
heading Rockefeller and Ford" supplies the I'm
est example we have seen for many day.
1t begins very much as we may suppose Swift
would have started it WHY is it that for
quarter Of century CT mere i; has been considered
cute fer pulpit and press and platform no; TO men
ton few million private citizens, to romp on John
D. Rockefeller as a pluiocratic oppressor of the
public, while for considerable period CT time
everything that Henry Ford has done has been
praised?
That is fine. One has to read on and en- be-
fore fully realizing that the purpose is to show up
not by direct statements, but by ironical negatives
the great difference between the constructive bust
ness man Of today and the feudal crushcr Of op-
position of few decades ago.
Some CT its statements are even more Swiftan:
Rockefeller has always been a mysterious sort
ct person" Mere could hardly be SAID in forty
pages. How wildly it calls to mind the court
records of Ohio and the federal government, and
brings back the memory CT competitors, who won
dercd what mysterious forces were parayzing
their efforts, closing their markets, lieing up their
transportation and hwarting their honest efforts
to get along.
Here is another example: Rockefeller has
put hundreds Of millions of dollars into his efforts
to relieve human suffering. He has given vast
sums to education His benefactons have been in
amounts that stagger imagination. That is exactly
the way Swift would have said it. And surely no.
body will deny that state din that way it is Infinite
ly stronger and more scaling than the form most
ordinary writer's would use in expressing the same
sentiment namely. that After he made his pile,
Mr.. Rockefeller spent big lot of money in
vain effort to buy puolic favor"
These citations sufficient to carry Tie point
We started out to make that irony. in its perfect
arguinentyc form, is rae and priceless gift and
we are glad to recognize ii among Tie varied
talents which combine to make the Herald enc CT
the ablcst and most interesting papers Of tie

FRENCH CHANCE VIEWS
Skepticism Over Genoa Conference Replaced by Will to Aid in Expect ed Good Work.

Paris, April 4.-(By the Associated Press)-The French attitude toward the Genoa conference has undergone great change in the last 4S hours, the coolness and skepticism previous ly shown in official circles having given way to the sentiment that some thing must come out of the confer ence and that the French delegation must go to work wholeheartedly to that end
 Premier Poincare has definitely de- cided to go himself as soon as his off cial duties permit.
 The allied delegations will probably hold an informal meeting Sunday to discuss the reports of their experts and frame a plan for the conferences work.
 The subjects which it is now gen. orally agreed must be discussed at Genoa are the reconstruction of Europe generally and Russia in par ticular; the stablization of exchange; the breaking dewn of exceptional barriers to trade due to special GUS toms regulations and Instructions to transportation and international con- sortium for reconstruction.
 Opposition to this international fi- nancial organization is anticipated from the Russian delegates.
