TOPLADY'S HYMN

There was, long since. learned
divine who had a taste for fighting:
and birthstone smoked in every line of
all his endless writing. He dug up
tons of tiresome facts which were of
dogma breathing, and dished them up
in redhot tracts and pamphlets bold
and seething. He published books
without a stop, his pen was always
going. his essays were an endless
crop, his ink was always flowing. He
thought that when he passed away
the world would still be reading
those books, banked up in dread
array, that he would still be leading.
But all his volumes are as dead as
Caesars pink canaries, not one of
them is ever read, except by anti
quaries. Not one prose line of all he
wrote has to this era lasted. no person
ever tries to quote those tracts which
scared and blasted. But on day this
learned divine was feeling mild and
tender, and he wrote down hymn
so fine the years don't dim it's
splendor. Grown weary for a little
while of strife and futile RACES, he
dropped his frown and wore smile,
and wrote the Rock of Ages" 1t is
a hymn expressing love and faith and
sweet devotion, as deathleSs as the
skies above. as lasting as the ocean.
And this alone, of all he penned, lives
on and will forever; it's the beginning
and the end of all his strained endeav-
or. The words that make us shrink
and smart soon lose their force and
perish; the words directed to the heart
we gather up and cherish.

The Democrats have struck two
blows at the opposition which are
being watched for any effects today.
States Attorney Attacked.
One blow was launched at States
Attorney Robert e. Grove, Thompson
supporter, who was charged in a peti-
ton as having used his office for the
illegal backing of the G.. .. L. torch
bearer. He is alleged to have per-
mitted guns and gunmen do their
share toward furthering Thompson $
race, but he denies any improper tao
tics as a States attorney or gentle
man.

Republican strength with the filing
of suspect notices in various wards
where Thompson is supposed to show
undue strength.
The chief justice of the criminal
court has indicated he will take action
on the petition, which asked that a
special States attorney and grand
Jury be named to investigate Grove S
activities.
Brass Bands i'm Evidence.

tinuous blare of brass bands and
automobile siren parades booming the

MONDAY political meetings bring
crowds to downtown theaters and

Under the surface there continues
to run a current of silent belief that
next Tuesday will be one of the most
hectic days this city ever has seen.

Of the proposed waterway has been
the only real cause for divergence Of

now be considered settled. The
Hoover report, based on a thorough

showed that the st. Lawrence route

Official Arrogance.

in traffic occurred recently on one Of

that the road was too narrow TO

half Of it, the judge ordered his driver
to skirt the lire Of vehicles. When
he reached the next intersection
where traffic was being directed by a
policeman he was promptly stopped.
why did you get out Of the line Of
cars?" the policeman asked the driver.
II told him to do st." the judge said,
That does not make any difference"

ping him in this way" he told the
policeman. "It is an outrage" And
the poor policeman, who was a rookie
on the force, did as he was told and
the Judge made his exit with all oficial
honors.
The next morning when this magis.
trate opened up for business in the
traffic court he undoubtedly plastered
heavy fines on those who did exactly
as he had done the day before. Yet
he felt that he could get away with
it. In this particular case, however.
he is not likely to. An investigat ton

almost a foregone conclusion that the
magistrate will receive little hit Of
discipline and advice from his s,lpe-
riors, and there are superiors to even

Of this kind. although there have been
some instances of diplomats and

congested conditions in practically

courteous and arrogant driver can

A Protest Against Mercy"

The other day three brothers, con
victed of murder on their confessions
began life sentences in the peniten'
tiary at Salem. Greg, AS they were be.
ing put through the penitentiary rou-
tine and placed in prison garb they
were hanged in efflgy by several hun
dred citizens at the home Of one Of
their four victims. This manifestation
Of public feeling was due to the fact
that these men had been given life
terms instead Of being sentenced to
death.
1t Is not difficult to understand the
public feeling in this case. These men
were guilty of atrocious crimes. They
had taken four lives in the course Of
hold.up Of train. They had escaped
and were fugitives for several years.
When finally captured they did not
resist extradition, but went will
ingly to Oregon. where they weCe
placed on trial. There was no doubt
OF their guilt. Their identifcations
were perfect and the circumstances
Of the killings were clearly estab-
lished. Had their cases gone to juries
in the ordinary course they would
have been convicted Of first degree
murder and in the natural course Of
things would have been sentenced to
death. But because they confessed and
relieved the court Of the burden Of
their trial they were given life SEN
fences. In the case OF two Of the
brothers a veritable mock trial was
held in order to insure the life penalty
rather than death sentences.
The acceptance Of the pleas Of guilty
on condition of life imprisonment is a
serious reflection upon the judicial
procedure. What IL these trials had
been protracted owing to necessity of
adducing testimony? 1t is true that
the court calendars are crowded, but
that does not justify short cuts to jus
tice when justice is not done In full
measure.
Back Of these hangings in effigy. by
means Of which the public in the State
of Oregon has expressed it's indigna.
ton, is the fear that these men, who
have forfeited their lives as surely az
any violators of the law have ever
done, may at some time be granted
Communication of sentence or pardon.
There is in fact no confidence in the
certainty of their penalties. This feel
ing prevails in all the States where
capital punishment is provided by law
as the maximum penalty for murder or
similar crimes.
The tendency toward so-called mercy
in the imposition Of sentences Upon Of
tenders has been carried too far. The
present wave of crime under which
this country is suffering so sorely is
Enthusiastically due to the weakening of
the law in it's ultimate application.

Mr.. Payne Whitney's will is faithful

the praise OF the community which he
served unostentatiOusly and well. No

half of the New York Hospital, the
Public Library and the Cornell Uni
versity Medical School
He was n governor Of the New
York Hospital for Is years and it's
vice president from 1919 to the time
of his death. He made it's work his
serious study. His associates speak of
his participation in hundreds of con-
ferences. Of his discerning judgments,
his fertility of suggestion, his patient
application, summed up in an i'm
pressive intellectual and spiritual
achievement" He gave literally and
with modeSty, as was illustrated by
his gift at the time of the infantile
paralysis epidemic in 1915, when he
volunteered to meet anonymously the
expense of a temporary hospital for
tho care OF children stricken by that
disease. Another special contribution
was that which made possible the pur-
chase of the land for the new hos
pital and medical center on the upper
East Side.

to the very end of his life. His be-

the public is something more than the
