DOES CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
 PREVENT MURDER?

Yesterday at Fort Madison, Ia., minister cf the gospel sprang the trap that sent con- demned murderer to his death It is said to have been the first time American clergy man ever performed this grim duty
 The actors in the drama on the scaffold were the Rev. w. F. Robb, sheriff of Polk county and a veteran of the World war, who was decorated for bravery in battle, and Eu- gene Weeks, convicted of having killed Des Moines grocer. Weeks was also war veteran.
 The electric chair and the hangman's moose are kept fairly busy in the United States, yet our murder record is appalling, the worst in the world. Some zealous advocates of law and order say we don't hang and electrocute enough men. They may be right, but the exc cutions we do have apparently do not check the crime of murder. And that brings up the old argument about capital punishment. Peo- pie who claim that capital punishment as deterrent to crime Is failure could make out a good case against it.
 England is frequently cited as one country where the laws are strictly enforced and speedy punishment is meted out to offenders. We are told that when a person commits murder in England he will shortly expiate his offense on the gallows, but in America he has a good chance to escape the extreme pen alty. That is true, yet there is sharp racial difference between the English and American people. The English are homogeneous They are conservative and have deep-rooted re- spect for traditions, including the law, which is an outgrowth of traditions and customs. They obey all laws better than we do In America we have a polyglot population, with large foreign element which is prone to com- init acts of violence, and our native' born citi- zens frequently mistake liberty for license.
 No doubt, if laws were more strictly enforced they would command more respect, but in the United States there is intoler- ance of restraint, disregard of constituted authority which is practically unknown in an pld-world country like England where the people have not yet lost that submissiveness to government inherited from their ancestors who for centuries trembled beneath the frown of their royal masters.

BRILLIANT PROSPECT AHEAD
 OF INDUSTRY

The worst is back of us The interruption to the recovery of American industry oc- casioned by the rail and mine strikes is al- most over. Their consequences will be felt for some time, while the tangles are being straight ened out, and the public must pay the cost of both strikes. It is paying now in higher prices of coal, iron and steel products and other commodities, the accumulated demand for which, caused by lack of production and transportation facilities, has backed up flood of new business that will come with a rusn- ing tide.
 It speaks well for the fundamental sta bilty of the country that it has not suffered more from the two strikes. A large accumula- ton of coal delayed the stress in that quarter several months, while many carriers managed somehow to give fairly good service.
 Neither should it be forgotten that an enor- nous volume of freight was moved from coast to coast and from interior points to inter- mediate inland points and the coast cities by the intercoastal and inland waterway carriers. Both the Warrior and the Mississippi have served splendidly during the car congestion.
 The outlook for business is good. Labor is receiving high wages. The demand for all kinds of products Is active. Cotton is bring ing fair price. This district never fell far
  behind the maximum pace and will resume that at once. The fall and winter prospect is ex- ceedingly bright.

SHAKESPEARIAN ACTOR WHO
 COULD PLAY A CLOWN

Rowland Blackstone, who died in nursing home in London, had been on the stage since he was T years of age He went to England from America for holiday trip and was seized with fatal illness.
 To many theatre patrons in this country Buckstone's name may have particular sig nificance. They have seen it on theatre pro- grams, but he was not great star, and it was forgotten. Yet Blackstone enjoyed unique distinction. He won perhaps his greatest suc- He was an authority on Shakespeare and that particular form of Shakespearian acting, which requires qualities for success that few actors have ever had.
 Unfortunately, in America, during the later period of the drama, at any rate, the scarcity of good Shakespearian actors has been so pro- nounced that the work of the star, or stars, when there were two, overshadowed all other members of their companies to such an ex- tent that they practically monopolized per- formance. Even the greatest of our Shake spearian actors have been forced to appear before the public with mediocre support. 1t may have pleased the vanity of some of them to do this, but it was not true of conscientious artists who wanted to present Shakespeare as it should be presented.
 From time to time some minor member of a company playing Shakespeare would attract attention by the superiority of his art. Buck of Shakespeare clowns was revelation of histrionic skill.

KIPLING AND cLEMENcEAU
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Americans will be glad to see "the Tiger" it he makes good on his promise to visit us. But it will be natural curiosity to see the great old fighter rather than readiness to accept his views upon our duty in regard to Europe. There is much in common in viewpoint between Kip ling and the famous statesman who saved France Theirs is the. philosophy of "the strongest" the title of one of Clemenceau's books. They share the military. the mperialist outlook. They are apostles of force. rather than of reason. They are confessed skeptics and cynics, who have no ideals but the prac- tical, although the ideal solution may in the end prove the better and their practical plans the most impractical.
 How much of the present chaos in Europe is due to the obstinate cynicism of Clemenceau is hardly in doubt. It was he who stuck steadfast- ly to the policies of before the war at Versail- les, thwarting the hopes of new world He has been the force behind the repeated down. falls of French premiers who sought an accord on separations which is now admitted to be in- evitable. It is his nominee, Tardieu, who looms as potential successor if Poincare is overthrown, unless in the meantime the soberer sense of French business can take command away from the, politicians.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
THE JASPER WHIPPING
,ditor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Will you please correct the statement about the whipping here in Jasper on last Friday night I understand that Claude Cutlery, sheriff of Walker county gave out the state ment as published in your paper l am sure that MT. Cutlery gave out the statements as he heard them, but I in position to know that the facts have not been given out.
 The boy Frank Smith, alias Shag Smith, is my son. Here are the real facts, according to my boy and other information that I get: Frank Smith, Inman and two other boys had been out four miles from Jasper to a swim ming pool, and coming back to Jasper. They came up to several cars in the road, passed one car, and when they passed the first car it blew the horn. One man got up on the running board of my sons car and my son and this man had their guns each other at the same time. Then the crowd came up. My boy said, "You have my gun; there are too many of you" They took his gun and then took the cartridges out and threw the gun back in the car. They then took the boy out of the car, made him pull his clothing down. My son told them to lay him on the ground if they were going to whip him as he had large carbuncle, which had just been
 
 cursed him and slammed him up against tree and beat him up. They tore the plaster off this carbuncle and left him in this shape. They also whipped young Inn1an much worse than my boy. Dr. Walker of Jasper, can testify as to the condition of the boys. My son had just turned into his nineteenth year.
 Now, I am Investigating this matter and con- sulting the best citizens of our town who willing to help out in Investigating this mat ter. There has been written letter to citi- zen of this town with ihy name the letter, stating in the letter what they would do if did not keep quiet. The letter signed would be put in a grave
 Now, I have got myself two good pump guns and two other small arms. I have bought these guns for no other purpose but to protect my self, my family and my home.
 If the good people of Walker county don't take up this matter, make investigation and cooperate with the proper authorities and stop these outrages, this country will be worse than some of the European countries.
 Let the good law-abiding people come for ward and say that we will not stand for this and put it down. If something is not done at once in my opinion many tears will be shed as a result of the way things are going on.
 I say for myself that l do not believe in killing, but believe in protecting my home.
 would refer4the people who don't know me, as to my character and being law-abdng citizen, to the people of Jasper, my home town

SCRAPS

Helen Frazee-Bower, in the New York Herald. have been poor, but never yet known hunger That eats into the heart, Of life have demanded one thing only;
 s'Let small scraps be my part" A scrap of song that in some careless moment The meadow lark lets fall. From heavens gate, and scraps of leaves en-
 tangled,
 With sunlight on a wall A scrap of sky and green trees bending over A little scrap of sod Where all day long the buttercups and daisies Look up and smile at God. I have been poor, but on such scraps of fancy My starving soul has fed, How poor are those who, being merely wealthy, Must live alone by bread.

THE HIGHEST WATERFALL
From the London Times.

From the IOnuOn llHleS.
 What is the highest waterfall? compe- tition, to be fair, must lay down some rule for entrants, or even submit to division into classes. Mr. F. E. Matthes, of the United States geological survey, discussing the sub7 feet in the American journal Science, dis tinguishes between the broad voluminous type, like Niagara or the Victoria falls, in which a wide river roars over a precipice, and the slender "bridal ve' type, familiar in noun tain districts. Of the former, the Kaieteur fall. in British Guiana, judged to be so4 feet h;gh. stands first, although the Wooloomumbi, on branch of the Macleay river, in New South Wales, about 900 feet high, is ex- cluded only on account of its lesser volume Tn the "bridal veil'' class, MT. Mathes has no hesitation in awarding the palm to the To- semitic falls. The waters of the creek descend from the uplands to the floor of the valley, a vertical distance of 2,565 feet, by an upper and lower fall, joined by series of cascades. The upper fall is a single leap measuring .36o feet in height, by far the largest single fall known in the world. The Sutherland fall, in New Zealand, 1904 feet in height, belongs to the same class, but is broken midway by . saries of lodges Another notable com- nettor is at Gavarnie, in the Pyrenees, fine snectacle in late spring, but the 1885 feet If vertical fall consists of braided streamlets, with only short, clear drops. But the interest of waterfalls is not exhausted by considera- ton of their respective heights Falling water has attracted the human eye in every age, and has gathered more legends than any other oneration of nature. The mystery of an in- dviduality continuous although it's elements are in constant change, the lush vegetation, and the wild rocks supply unique material for the constructive imagination of the poet. The geoogst, studying the rate of erosion, can make estimates of the duration of the present distribution of river and valley, Of plateau and sea. But the engineer, practical man, can scheme for the harnessng of power now only pleasure to the eye, to such eco homie and comfortable purposes as the turn ing of spindles or the warming of offices

NO LEGAL GROUNDS TO IMPEACH
 THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Attorney General Daugherty, who has had . somewhat stormy career since his appoint ment by President Harding, will not be inn peached for alleged high crimes and misde- meanors, for the simple reason that he is not guilty.
 The Age-Herald's Washington correspondent, Hugh w. Roberts, says Congress is not per turbed over the onslaughts of Representative Keller of Michigan, who created furry of excitement by his attempt to oust the Attor- ney General. MT. Daugherty's action in ask ing for federal injunction in Chicago against the rail strikers is believed to be responsible for Kellers newest outbreak, but neither the democrats nor the republicans take his full minations seriously.
 Mr. Daugherty has been under fire more than any other member of President Hard ing's official family. His unfortunate con- nection with the Morse scandal and the failure of the government to punish war profiteers exposed him to many attacks, but if govern ment officials and members of Congress were held to strict accountability for all their sins of omission and commission, few of them would escape.
 So far as the Chicago incident is con- eerned, the Attorney General was carrying out the administrators wishes in seeking an in- junction to stop disorders resulting from the rail strike. It seems to have done the work, although the Attorney General brought fresh

BIRMINCHAMs WAR ON LAwLEssNEss

From the Montgomery Advertiser
 Birmingham, aroused by series of lawless acts, has formed vigilance committee to serve as means for preventing outrages upon the person and property of law-abiding citi- zens. These lawless acts, mainly series of floggings have the appearance of being formed by some sort of organization, not always the same except in one characteristic. There may be several of these organizations, but all are secret and all apparently have faith that their secrecy and their numbers will protect them from the punishment that their lawless acts have earned So far, too, they have been successful.
 These organizations constitute themselves as a super-law to the law of the state and the nation. They more than that, they exercise moral supervision of the~eommunity, hot un- dertaken by officers of the law or of the judge. An intolerabe condition has arisen when a lot of ignorant and violent giving free rein to thSir prejudices go about kidnapping men, trying them at less than a drumhead court martial and then inflicting bloody punishment upon their helpless victims. That is the bol- sheviki idea acting in Alabama.
 No wonder many of the best citizens of Birmingham have struck compact to stop this lawlessness. And they will stop it, too. They are the men who bring things to pass in Bir- mingham They are in earnest and the end of this reign of lawlessness is in sight. These men did not do the thing usually done in an American community when aroused by acts of violence, denounce the police and sheriff's of- flee for failure to enforce the law and pass high-sounding resolutions. They realized the difficulties under which the law officers la- bored in combating this particular form of lawlessness and said, "We are here to help you"
 The newly formed vigilance committee pro- poses to supervise the self-constituted super visors of the morals of the community and to force the self-appointed law enforcers to face the only law that is operative, the law of the land.
 Montgomery has been the subject of so many lectures from Birmingham, usually po- litical, but with a strong moral cast, that we are justified in reminding the lecturers, as we have before. that there is now, it is admitted work for them to do in sweeping up around

ALL BUT TALKS

"The Alabama merchants who came to our establishment during their convention in Au- gust and witnessed the operation of our Buff falo Rock bottlng machine, said it did every thing but talk" said Sidney w. Lee, the king of Buffalo Rock. Well, I admit they were pretty near right. The bottles go in at one end, are cleansed in two baths of caustic soda, then twice rinsed and come out as clean as human ingenuity can devise.
 "Then the same machine fills and caps the bottles, and they go to the shipping cases. It is all matter of continuous operation by the same machinery. The day after the mer- chants visited our plant that machine eleansed, rinsed and filled over 40 900 bottles"

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
CHEESE CHAMPIONS

In days of old When knights were bold
 They fought to show how brave they were; Each one, I ween, Possessed a queen
 And sent his trophies all to her. But nowadays The pug who stays
 Sufficient rounds, with skill and care, Fights but to win A crown of tin
 And hopes to be millionaire.
