THE RELEASE OF Noble.

1t is denied in responsible quarters
that any particular secrecy has attend
ed the release on executive order from
Washington OF Francis II. Noble. head
OF the Tile Trust, who had been con-
victed of violation of the Federal Anti
Trust law as a result OF the Lockwood
committees activities and who had
been sentenced with three others to
four months OF imprisonment In the
Essex County jail in New Jersey.
This Is not the truth. There has been
not only secrecy In the processes OF
getting him out after only one month
in jail but extraordinary expedition.
The jail physician quietly certifles to
the United States Attorney that the
prisoner is sick and may get worst.
The United States Attorney as quietly
wires to the United States Judge I'm
San Francisco who imposed the SEN
tence, and his recommendation of re-
lease is as quietly rushed to Washing
ton. whence as quickly and quietly
comes the Presidential order of re-
lease.
MOI No secrecy or haste about II al
all-after Noble walks free out OF jail
when everybody can SEQ for himself
that he is out three months before the
expiration OF his brief little sentence!
But before that who outside OF the
public officials mentioned knew any
thing about II whatever?
! President Taft's release OF Charlie:
w. Morse from the Atlanta Prison fol
similar reasons was counted some
thing of scandal at the time. But
that event was not shrouded in sec

BENEFITS OF WHIPPING POST.

Holding In $4,000 bah a man at Bay
onne. New Jersey, accused OF beating
his daughter with braided wire whip.
the Recorder mnde n remark 20 which
thero might well be universal assent
jail is too good for men like you" he
said II regret we do not have whip
ping posts" No better way of MAX
ing the punishment At this particular
crime could be devised. Mere confine-
ment is no sufficient atonement for tho
atrocious brutality of inflicting keen
physical pain upon the young and
helpless. There is no lower type Of
man than the father guilty of II.
Sentimentalists have often protested
against the whipping post and its
survival In Delaware has frequently
been deplored by them. Would that
II might be set up In other States
Nothing has ever surpassed II. as a
deterrent to crimes of physical vio-
ience. The wife-beater who himself
feels the lash is unlikely TO offend
in that fashion again. Experience
shows that this penalty Is more feared
than any other. Some years ago there
was an outbreak OF garroting I'm Eng
land. When law was passed impos-
ing flogging as a penalty, there was n
sudden cessation OF tho activities OF
the garroters.
No doubt tho lashings administered
I'm the name OF justice by our sturdy
seventeenth century ancestors were
too frequent and too severe. We have
learnd since then that excessive sever
lty In punishment may defeat its owr
end. But the pendulum has swung
too far in the other direction. We
have become mushy in our dealings
with criminals The present "crime
wave" is one witness to that fact. We
need 10 send more criminals TO Jail
But we need the whipping post fol
the wife and child beaters and foi

WOMAN HAS HISTORIC PEN
Used bv President Harrison When He
Signed the Present American
Copyright Bill.

The recent celebration by the
League of American Pen Women of
their twenty-fifth anniversary, or
"silver jubilee" makes this story
timely:
During the administration of Ben
iamin Harrison, the present American
copyright bill was passed. William
Mckinley, then a member of the house
of representatives, offered the bill, the
data for which was supplied by Mar
garet Sullivan Burke, newspaper cor
respondent, and afterward first presi-
dent of the League of American Pen
Women. She gave this league its first
home and it's name.
Afterward, when President Harrison
signed this bill, the pen with which,
he signed it was presented to Mrs.
Burke by Elijah Halford, his private
secretary, and one Of her old Indiana
friends. This pen is now in the posses
sion of her daughter, Hilda Burke.

VIVIAN

THE charming name of Vivian is al
1 most the equivalent of the adjec-
tive "vivacious." It means lively. hav-
ing been derived from the Latin vita
signifying life, md was used by the
Roman Christians to express their
hopes of eternity.
The first feminine name formed
from vita is Viva. name made IA
nous by Viva Perpetua, the noble
young matron of Carthage. whose
martyrdom is one of the most touch
ing histories of The early church. Her
many votaresses gave vogue to her
name.
In later Roman days Viviana came
to be popular through a Christian
maiden of that name who was put to
death by Roman governor on the
charge that she had destroyed the
sight Of one Of his eyes by magic.
Much later a church was erected over
her remains. Her fame and name lin
gered, and appears prominently again
In .Morte d'Arthur" when vivianna is
the enchantress Of King Arthur's
court.
Scotland took "ver the name ct
Vivian, applying 1t as both a mascu-
line and feminine name. France adopt
ed the masculine form as Vivien and
straightway formed the now-popHlar
feminine vivienne. England has al
ways favored Vivian and America re-
ceived and popularized the name un-
der that spelling. Viviana is the IA
vored form in Spain and Italy, the lat
ter country still employing the early
Roman Viva.
viyian's talismanic gem Is the life
giving ruby. Its inextinguishable fame
promises her dauntless courage, bodily
health and strength, and dispels evil
spirits. To dream of It signifies unex-
pected guests. Friday is her lucky day
and three her lucky number. The lily.
signifying purity. is her flower.

WOODDY'S BATTLE

T TITLE WOODY CHUCK found
- himself one day all alone In the
big world, for his mother had put him.
with his brothers and sisters, out OF
their home, and told them they must
look out for themselves.
Mrs. Woodchuck is not very low
ing mother-not at all like Mrs. Fox,
who takes the greatest care OF ner
children, or Mrs. Possum, who often
is bringing up two families at the
same time.
And SO it happened that little Wood
DIV Chuck found himself looking for
home one day when he was quite
young.
He was not at all afraid, because he
had never seen dog or gun; so ne
hunted around and found place to
make new home. Now. wood
chucks are not very hard working AMI
mails: so, when Woody had finished
his home he went inside and stayed
until the next day, when the sun was
nice and warm. for woodchucks are
very fond Of summing themselves.
For q long time Woody Chucl
thought the world was a very nice
place. The garden was near. and OF
course he thought all the vegetables
were grown for his use; SO he ate al
he wanted.
But one day he had rude awaken
ing, for Mr.. Dog saw him, and aftel
him he ran: but 9s Woody is a goot
runner, he easily reached his home

tie ran for home, stopping every now
and then to rub his hurt nose.
Woody Chuck came out, and, sit
ting up on his hind legs, he looked
about and chuckled again. Il thought
Mr.. Dog was going to laugh this time. "
he said, "and if had not found how
long and sharp my teeth are, l know
he would. I really must take good
care of my teeth, for have learned
today that they are useful to me In
other ways than eating. And now
must find place to make new home.
for Mr.. Dog has certainly wrecked this
one."
