LARGEST SHIP in THE WORLD
Big Liner on Maiden Voyage Has Ac.
commodations for 400 Passengers.

New York-The Majestic, worlds
largest ship, was rolling down from
Nantucket to Sandy Hook on the last
lap of her maiden voyage across the
Atlantic. All arrangements had been
made to give the new empress of the
seas triumphal entry to the harbor.
The Majestic, which is of $500 tons
displacement, has a record of rs knots
an hour, and her engines are still stiff.
When they timber up her officers and
officials of the line believe she, will
make at least four, more knots and
during her summer runs eclipse the
transatlantic record now held by the
Mauretania. .s>.'

thought or awakened noble impulse, -
wrote a. thoughtful correspondent to
The Herald's Open Court day or two
in arguing against restoring the death
penalty in Minnesota and emphasizing
the fact that it doesn t lessen murder.
"We can hang murderers until the
hemp plays out and there will be, as
many more to hang unless the source
Of the supply is stamped OUT contin-
ued the writer, and the second asser-
ton is as true as the first. = >s
Several peculiarly atrocious murders
in Minnesota during the last few
months have again awakened the old
clamor for a natural reaction Of that
primitive type of mind which wants to
wreak revenge first, and study causes
later, if at all.
:, But the test of punishment is its ef-
feet. If drastic and brutal penalty
does, not prevent crime, what good is
it? - =: - -
= Some of the Minnesota newspapers
and others who are so eagerly advocat.
ing asreturn to official killing, and
declaring that the fear of hanging
or the electric chair will stop murder
in this state, might change their: opin-
ion by reading the record Of states in
which the death penalty still operates.
In California, for instance, where
they still hang, the percentage of HON
icides from 1915 to 1919, inclusive, was
1919 per hundred thousand population.
In Florida it. was l7.7; Mississippi, 10;
Tennessee, 1876; Louisiana, 10; Ohio,
7.S; Montana, 1923 Illinois, rs, and
the annual average rate in thirty three
states from which statistics were com.
piled was &C. per hundred thousand
Yet in the state Of minnesota for the
same period, the rate was but 3.2 pei
hundred thousand. In Wisconsin where
the death penalty has not been efec'
tive for some years, the rate was only
20. >. $500. @::>s .....
A glance at the figures from various
cities throughout the country reveals
similar story: IT, .s> z
IN Chicago the number of 11omicifes
per one hundred thousand for 1920 was
1O.3;s Cleveland, 1875; Philadelphia, 6.2;
San Francisco, rs; New York. So
Memphis, Tenn, 63.4. In all Of these
cities death is the penalty for first de-
gree murder. Compare them with
Minneapolis with a rate Of So and Mil
waukee with a rate of 3 for the
same year.
Capital punishment, either in theory
or practice, does not have a leg. to
stand on, and as Senator .Capper of
Konsas racent1v asserted in his Week
ly: "Some day the country will find
a more effective way of preventing
capital crimes than by legally murder
ing such criminals, custom we have
inherited from the pagans:'

President Harding's appointment of
the notorious Nat Goldstein to be Col

was in line with other nominations
made.
Naturally, the nomination of a man
who as delegate to the last republican
national convention had accepted So, 500
from Governor .Lowden, presidential
candidate, caused much indignant COM
ment in both the democratic and re-
publican press. The Goldstein appoint
ment is directly in line with the kind
of appointments the president and at
least one member of his cabinet have
been making. 49,.
Roy Davis, who got $500 of Lowden 8
money, has been made minister to Costa
Rico. w. II. Allen, who got $500 from
the same "dough-bag," has been made
state prohibition agent, and w. L..
Cole, who got $500 from the Lowden
campaign fund and $3.50 from Harry
M. Daugherty, the present attorney
general, has been made special as
sistant to the attorney general. E. Liv-
1ngstOn MORSE, distributor OF the Low
den slush fund in Missouri, has been re-
warded by government lease on his
country home for a hospital.
President Harding also last winter
named Henry G. Myers, to be post
master at Caro- Mich, Earl Davis to
be U. s. District Attorney for the East
ern District of Michigan, and Edward
j. Bowman to be U. s. District Attor-
ney for the Western District Of Mich
gan, all of whom were indicted with
Truman II. Ncwberry in the notorious

of Michigan and Fred Cronnenwett, as
