General Board of the Navy by over

Our Government and our interna-

admiralty'S demand, and have repudi-
ated the American naval advice. But
now the hollowneSs and sham of the
argument concerning the similar oppo-
sition in both nations, so deliberately
made, has been clearly demonstrated,
for the British Parliament practically
without opposition has approved the
treaty.
This Is the beginning of the debunk

Women on the Gallows.

A woman was hanged Friday morning
at Florence, Ariz, in punishment for
the crime Of murder. There was no
question of her guilt. Her only chance
Of being saved from the gallows lay in
her communication on the score of sanity.
This was denied. She died gamely.
When Ruth Snyder, husband slayer,
was convicted and sentenced to death in
New York State little over two years
ago there was a pronounced public reac-
ton against capital punishment for
women. After her execution however, q
change in sentiment occurred. Regard
less of the question Of the right or the
wrong of capital punishment, it is now
felt to a prevailing degree that when the
death sentence is incurred it should be
administered regardless of sex.
A peculiar development in this matter
has just been reported from London,
where controversy is prevailing over
the propriety of capital punishment for
women. Recently the governor of
Maidstone prison urged that women be
exempted from the death penalty in muir
der cases. This Immediately aroused
the antagonism of the Women's Freedom
League. The secretary of that organ
ization declared that while she was
strongly opposed to capital punishment,
she would rather be hanged than agree
to any exemption of members of her sex.
The slogan was raised Women have as
much right to be hanged as men,"
This question is not likely to become
acute here. 1t is to be doubted
whether the equal-rights advocates Of
America will take up cudgels to demand
parity of death penalties. Women are
participating in criminal enterprises in
this country at a rate to modify any
sentimental feelings that may still be
entertained for the weaker sex" when
the time comes for the law to take its
course.

pete on equal terms with a man who
paid only $500 for his cab.
But the fact must also be considered
that an $500 taxicab is as safe, as COM
Portable and otherwise as well fitted for
use as taxi as the more expensive ma
chine turned out by some of the Older
and more powerful companies that up
until the last few years have exercised
a virtual monopoly in taxicab manu-
facture.
Here is case that may come up for
settlement in other cities than New
York. But it is difficult to understand
how the taxi-riding public can be le-
gally enjoined from enjoying the bene-
fits of competition and the progress
made in the manufacture of automo-
biles on the pretext that investments in
more expensive cars are thus endan-
gered. The path Of progress is strewn
with the wrecks of undertakings that
were rendered useless and archaic be-
cause somebody came along with some
thing bigger, better or cheaper.

sentiments as "the Fascist regime in
tends to take the entire spiritual edu-
cation Of the young Italy into its own
hands" The Pope. on the contrary,
has recently publicly quoted the 1925
decision OF the United States Supreme
Court in an Oregon school case, de-
clartng the rights of parents to choose
the education of their children. It is
expected naturally, nevertheless, that
there will be further discussions be-
tween the papacy and the Italian king
dom on the general theme of duty to
the church and duty to the state, to-
ward schools and all things having to
DO with the education of boys and
girls.
As in America, the sharpest intel
OF the state over the educational lives
OF young persons. The Pope maintains
that the family cannot be superseded
entirely by the state in the upbring-
ing Of children. He condemns the st.
tempted state monopoly Of education
anywhere. At the same time, in a
recent encyclical, he held out the hand
OF moderation, saying that while the
church has the right of an independent
share in the education of the young,
1t, nevertheless, may properly conform
to legitimate dispositions of secular
authority" This statement was eager
~ welcomed by many Fascist observers.
The recent demonstrations of good will
70 the Vatican by Mussolini, it is
thought, show prospect Of q great
addition of strength to the Fascist
regime.
The energy spent by Moscow in COM
batting religion is spent here In weld
ing religion into an integrated part
of the whole national organism. From
such harmony new Italian political re-
pose and social Wgor are expected.

ROME, February 22.-Comment here
Is conferred on the adroitness and
strength of the Fascist regime In arriv-
ing at an accommodation of Catholic
education of the young, especially with
reference to the great Boy Scout and
athletic organizations called the Bella
and AVIAN Guardisti.
While Moscow Is furnishing the world
with startling illustration OF its efforts
to extirpate religion and God, here
Premier Mussolini and his government
are recognizing the sphere Of religion,
though at the same time drastically
maintaining the rights and powers of
the secular authorities. This Is proof
of the superiority OF the political wisdom
of Rome over Moscow.
Till recently, the claims of the FaS-
ciSts and the claims of the clericalS re-
yarding the Balilla and the AVIAN Guard
isti were regarded by some as incompat-
ible. There were many determinations
in the Fascist press.
~ X
The Balilla is an organization of an
outdoor athletic character for boys of
6 to IA, the AVIAN Guardisti for boys
II tol6. Both are immense in size and
confer great dement's of physical de-
Velopment on Italian youth. It is now
announced In the Italian papers that
each legion Of the Balilla and each
cohort Of the AVIAN Guardisti are to have
chaplain appointed by the ecclesiasti-
cal authorities and that meetings on
Sundays and feast days are not to be set
for an earlier hour than 10 in the morn
ing. This is to give the boys an oppor-
tunity to attend mass.
Thus the religious convictions of the
parents of Catholic members of these
organizations are given appreciation.
Such and other occurrences are produc-
ing q notable new Impeachment be-
tween the Italian government and the
Vatican.

shattered a regulation, she did nothing
heinous or shameful. Why she should
not have been treated precisely like
