washington, ~. ~.
Congressman Blanton, of Texas,
has introduced bill in the house de-
signed to prevent picketing in labor
controversies. At every session of
congress Mr.. Blanton fosters pro-
posed law which aims to shower him
with Fluctuations from big business.
Plans are proposed for new office
building for congressman which will
cost in the neighborhood Of $8,0O0,-
900. Unless the much-agitated pro-
ject to reduce the number of congress
is revived, it is safe to predict that
building bill will meet with little op-
position.

But SCOTS case reviyes the question as to
whether or not capital punishment is really the
most deterrent method of Furnishing murder
ers. Forgetting whether or not murder au-
thorizes the state to take life for life, which
in itself is a debatable question, such scenes as
have occurred in this case furnish good argu-
ment for the substitution of life Imprisonment
for capital punishment everywhere.
If capital punishment is ever justified it
probably is in this case. Here is. man who
has confessed and been convicted; his past life
is not such as to urge leniency for him. He
showed no consideration for his victim and
from that standpoint deserves none himself.
Had he been sentenced to life imprisonment,
rot finger would probably have been raised in
his defense Now with death sentence hang
ing over him he has been made a martyr and
his chances for ultimate escape from justice
are increased tenfold.
His case is not an isolated one. A review of
recent notorious murder trials in Illinois shows
that in practically every one, the fear OF the
death sentence has stood as protection for
the criminal rather than for society. Jurors
cannot help but be Influenced by the fear of a
dreadful mistake in the event that the prison
er is condemned to hang
Contrast with the Scott case and scores Of
others in Illinois, one which occurred in Min
nesota recently. There young man murdered
his sweetheart; he confessed the crime and
within thirty hours after that confession had
been sent to prison for life. There were no ap-
peals in which sentimentalism threw martyrs
halo around him. The despatch with which
Justice was meted out to him served as a ter
rible warning to all who might contemplate
murder Behind prison walls he dies a living
death.
But in Illinois, lodging the moose has be-
come the common practice of murderers. Cap
ital punishment furnishes them with the best
weapon to use in their defense.

Daily Health Hint
s Feeding.
Ru DIR. D. A. THOM.


One of the most common mistakes
the mother makes is brought about
by her preconceived notions that every
food and that every child must neces-
sarily teat every meal. With this idea
in minds she becomes fretful and emo
tionallye upset if the child fails to
meet her standards. Notwithstanding
the fact that the state of nutrition is
one of the most important indictors
of the child's well-being, it does not
hold true that all children require
the same amount Of food, that they
must necessarily be of the same
height or weight at a certain age, or
that any particular harm will follow
if they miss a meal or two. 1t is
frequently this undue anxiety on the
part of the parent that tends to make
the meal hour an event rather than
an incident in the daily life of the
child.
This is seen clearly in the case of a
bright little girl of six. Her mother
died of tuberculosis, and the father is
haunted by a fear of the child's hav-
ing contracted the disease. His one de-
sire is to see her fat and rosy. Three
large meals a day are forced upon
this child by an overweight father
who in his anxiety creates such a
tense atmosphere in the home that
Sally loses all appetite or bolts her
food in fear of the wrath to come, or,
in different mood, waits to be coaxed
and bribed to swallow single mouth
full. Instead of being a simple rou-
tine, mealtime offers an opportunity
which the child sees and grasps for
staging little drama in which she is
the principal figure, the object of So
licitudes and concern. The meal itself
has lost Importance and all depends
upon the child's wishes.
Who does not like 20 -eel his own

DODGING THE MOOSE.

Chicago criminal annals have again given
the country a touch of meodrama Russell
Scott, a convicted slayer, has three times been
within a few minutes of the time when he
was to hang on a gibbet Each time at the
eleventh hour a stay has come AS is custom
airy in. such cases there have been the usual
sensational methods employed to save him
from the noose-methods which have almost
made martyr out of him. Society women,
moved by sentimentalism, have Joined in the
movement which has thus far saved Scott from
the gallows
In this case there seems to be little ques-
ton about the guilt of the convicted man. He
once confessed the crime and then retracted
his confession; his guilt was established to the
satisfaction of jury and he was condemned
to hang. Whether he fired the shot which kill
ed the victim of the hold-up, for whose death
he has been convicted, or whether his brother,
still missing, fired that shot does not matter
in the eyes of the law of the state of Illinois.
In either instance he stands before the law
there guilty of murder and condemned to die
on the gaows.
So far as Scott is concerned he probably
would have been saved much suffering had he
been hanged on the first day set for his exc
cutlon, Three times he has lived through a
period when he must count the days, then
hours, then minutes until the moment when
he was to dance on air" Speedy execution,
no doubt, would have been a mercy to him, for
He, who lives more lives than one,
More deaths than one must die"

YOUTH.

The papers told recently of a young man
Who rejected by his sweetheart, swallowed poi
son in public dance hall. He didn't swallow
enough, however, and will recover.
When that lad gets older he probably will
figuratively kick himself many a time, and
ponder; "oh, what fool | made of myself"
And yet it is just youths capacity for feel
ing deep emotions that makes it so wonderful.
Oftentimes, as with this lad, it gets off on the
wrong foot; but somehow, when he is. old
enough to think of himself as a fool for that
action, something will be missing
If only we could enlist this wonderful ca
.pacity for enthusiasm, for deep feeling, in the
youth of our land, in some high, stirring ideal
what might not be accomplished!

Perhaps this can hardly be made regular
feature of our judicial system. Some judges
are not fitted, either temperamentally or ply
sically, for such work.
But it sounds like dandy scheme for some
cases. In the divorce courts, for example.
After all, there's nothing like making the
punishment fit the crime

YOUTH AGAIN.

The next time any pondereus, COM
placent individual of middle age -
male or female-arises to utter an
other TRADE against the ways of mod
ern youth, just take leaf from the
doughboys and ask him, gently:
"Who won the war ?"
That isn't meant to be funny.
These same young men who are be-
ing called flippant, dissolute and too
worldly wise are the same ones that
sailed overseas for US a few years
ago and went, singing and joking,
into regular hell on earth.
They faced the test and showed
that our age, no less than previous
ones, produces real men.
, And the rest of us? Oh yes, we
went down to cheer when they
marched away.
Of course, it was all we could do.
But at the same time, considering
that the mess we sent. them over to
clean up was one that we ourselves
had made, it hardly behooves US to
point the finger of scorn at them too
fervently.
The older generation hasn't made
the world such a perfect sort of
place. Suppose we pipe down, as
the .gobs used to say, and give the
younger one a chance.

/ fire plug at VanKirk street and the
River Bank that contains no water
several times the fire companies
have had occasion to use this plug
and upon hooking up to it they could
get no water and had to transfer
cheir hose to a plug on Warren
street." Mr.. Lauinger pointed to
the fact that the fire companies
could not touch the plugs nor could
any city official only in case of fire.
Mr.. Woertz voiced his opinion on
the subject by saying, "We pay
$25.00 for each plug in the city and
if there is any plug that contains no
water we will hold up the water
companies bill"
Mr.. Stevenson moved, that the
Delaware River Water Company be
instructed to test all fire plugs in the
City of Beverly to the satisfaction of
the fire committee, the engineer and
the Chief of the department.
M. Woertz offered an amendment
to this motion, which was, "That this
must be done within the next thirty
days" The amendment was accept
ed and the motion was carried.
Mr.. Stevenson presented an ordi-
nance providing for the borrowing
of $4,000 for the erection of what
will be known as School No. 2 which
will be erected on the corner of
Front and Magnolia streets on land
purchased from A. Daeustachio. The
ordinance was passed on first and
