he was under no particular obligation to
take care of his life and help save il until
the state took il in its own legal way.
II may be that the state had the right
to tie Grant down and forcibly save his
life by blood TRANSMISSION, so that the law
could solemnly pursue its course and hang
him by the neck on the appointed day.
But being n physician, as well as an Off
Ger of the state, the Jail doctor may have
been reluctant TO exercise his skill to
forcibly save Grants life for no better
purpose than to make il possible for the
state to take il away by force n little
later.
Capital punishment seems simple
enough when il takes its ordinary course,
but the logic of it gets a bit complicated
when one of its victims refuses TO be
saved in order TO be killed.

TINE readers of daily newspapers will,
L shortly, read much, from the direc-
ton of Dayton, Tenn, about pithecan-
thropus erectus. So, a few words intro
ducing Mr.. Pithecanthropus Erectus.
He is some leg bones and skull dis
covered in Java, part of skeleton upon
which the evolutioniSts largely build their
theory of mans descent from apehood.
They've got eoanthropus, neanthropus,
homo neanderthalensis and some other
thropuses, but Mr.. Pithecanthropus is es-
pecially precious as the oldest OF the
family.
1t takes lot of science, wires and plas-
ter of paris to make either a man or an
ape out of few leg bones and skull.
and it may be that scientists could find
exactly the pithecanthropus legs and skull
in Java, or American crowd today, but
Mr.. Pithecanthropus Erectus has the age
and the scientific endorsement, and you'll
find him right prominent in the news.

The Stupid ThinnS

WHAT ails the British? Aren't they

ably intolerant? The London censors
have barred an American play that has
been running in New York city for seven
months and that will thoroly tour the
country. when the metropolis has got It's
fill of its artistic effects.
The story of this play runs liks this:
An old farmer marries the beautiful hero
me. His son falls in love with the beau
tifu heroine who bears him a son. The
fascinating climax comes in the murder
of the baby, by its mother, to show that
her love would simply not be divided.
And the stupid British can't see the art
or high educational uplift in this lovely
idyl of domestic ifel An old hayseed
trapped, his wife betrayed by his son. and
a baby butchered. What in thunder do
those British want?

Anyone who aims at "the perfect

no such thing. Jail may be escaped, but
there is always God and the criminals

The Logic IN Legal Murder
DERNARD GRANT was in Chicago
ID iail under sentence 10 be hanged by

BERNARD GRANT was in Chicago
ID Jail under sentence to be hanged by
the neck until he was dead
He had been convicted of murder by
the great state of Illinois. Following the
law of an eye for an eye and tooth for
a tooth the state, meaning the people of
Illinois, INDUCES in capital punishment by
hanging.
But another prisoner, in Jail charged
with the same murder, stabbed Grant five
times. His blood was flowing fast from
the wounds. Unless the flow was stopped
and more blood was put into his veins by
TRANSMISSION, Grant would die
y The Jail physician, in whom the life
aving instinct was still alive, wanted
Grant to let him save his life by blood
TRANSMISSION. Grant wouldn't submit So
there was no blood TRANSMISSION, and Grant
died.
Grants logic was simple He knew the
state was going to murder him by hang
ing, so he couldn't see any reason to have
his life saved by blood TRANSMISSION when
1t was only to be saved long enough to be
taken from him by hanging.
Just what the states argument was we
don't know 1t must have been that
Grants life belonged to the state, and as
the state had deereed hanging Grant had
no right to die any other way. Hence, in
dying the way he did Grant cheated the
state of its vengeance
But Grant might have replied that his
life was his own until the state took it by
hanging, and he had right to die if he
wanted to. He might have reasoned that
