Women and the Death Penalty
Washington Daily Star

NWdSnlnSCOn Ddlly STAR
The state Of Pennsylvania this morning took the lives
OF a woman and a man who were guilty of a wanton
murder. The case has attracted much attention, not
from the circumstances OF the crime itself, but from the
fact that one OF the participants was a woman, and the
spectacle Of one of that sex going to the execution chair
or gallows is especially abhorrcnt. Nevertheless, the
law makes no distinction as to the sex Of the guilty.
Juries may soften their hearts toward women who are
accused and are proved guilty Of capital offenses, and
render modified verdicts. Judges may, within the dis
erection permitted by the law. impose less than death
sentences upon them. Pardoning boards and executives
may grant communication of death sentences that have
been given to them. But when all these recourses have
failed the woman stands in the death chamber UPON
precisely the same footing as the man, and the law must
take its course.
Perhaps such s~pectaclcs rs that enacted this morning
At Bellefonte. Pa, may give greater momentum to the
movement for the abolition Of the death penalty in
America. There is, however, no particular reason for
this. Had the two guilty ones executed today heen men,
their crime being what It was. no appreciable contribution
to the plea for q change Of law would be noted. The
woman who goes forth upon q career Of crime Is Just
as little deserving Of sympathy as the man. She may be
pitied. as the man may be, for having yielded to tempta-
ton to embark upon 4 cpurse leading to death. But the
very fact thst makes her the object OF special ccmnnisefa-
ton Is she means md reaches the fatal spot 81 punish
mcnt should have deferred her from such Z course.

The Farm Gains on the City
minneapolis JournaD

A check has come to the shift Of population between
farms and cities. For the first time in ten years, the de-
partment of agriculture announces, the farm population
Of the United States increased last year.
Putting it another way, fewer people are leaving the
farm and more are moving from cities to farms.
The peak movement from farms to towns and cities
was in 1875. when 2,l55o0o moved, according to the de-
partment's figures. Last year only ~1,543.ooo made such
a shift. Against this is the statement that the move
ment from cities to farms last year was the largest since
1924. Last year. 100000 went to farms from cities,
against 1896! 900 in 1924.
Thus the net movement. away from farms last year was
Isl 900 persons. But the normal increase of $4,000 births
over deaths on farms last year brought the total esti-
mated farm population as of January /, 1881, to 27,430,Oo0
compared with 2~7,222,O00 one year before.
This net movement cityward was the smallest since
1922, when the net was l,l20 600 persons. Causes, sig
nificances and effects? They are for anyones conclusion,
in wide variety,

Today Is the
Anniversary of
BIRTH

On Feb. q, 1907, Henry w. Long
fellow, American poet, was born at
Portland, Me.
Afte-- graduating from Bowdoin
college at 10, in the same class with
Nathaniel Hawthorne, Longfellow was
at ono appointed professor of mod
ern languages at his alma mater. He
resigned in 1885 to study and travel
in Europe. On his return he &C
copied at Harvard a post similar to
that he had at Bowdoin.
Longfellow's poetic gifts made him
at "a perhaps the most widely read
poet in America. Poems which helped
establish his fame were: "Evange-
line" 1.-The Courtship of Miles Stan
DISH" Excelsior" 1.-The Wreck of the
Hesperus," Paul Revere's Ride" and
1.-The Village Blacksmith"
His fame as q poet rests on two
points. First, he gave expression to
the commonplace emotions of Ameri-
can civilization with charm and SIM
plicity; second, he did much to spread
European culture in this country.

Waiting in the Wings

When a young racketeer named Frank Marco turned
up In a roadside ditch in New York recently, having
been taken for a ride by other ~racketeers whose enmity
he somehow had arousd. a perfectly respectable family
back in Ohio got a very bad shock.
Young Marco had been away from home for years.
He came back for a visit now and then, wrote OCCASION
ally, and seemed to be prospecting. 1t was understood
that he had a job as salesman. The family believed
that he was making good" in an honorable, praise
worthy manner.
But all the while he had been a gunnan. He was in
Chicago for a time. one of the toughest of that citys
rough gentry; then he went to New York to pursue the
same calling, and eventually he came to the predestined
end Of the ~gangstcr; and his family learned for the first
time what he had been.
This sort of thing, tragic as it is, happens continually,
though usually on a smaller scale. A young man leaves
home, goes out to make his way in the city, and is sup
posed to be doing Well; then, through some accident,
his loved ones find out that he has been following a for
hidden path, and there are heartaches for everyone con-
cerned.
A consideration of such things emphasizes again the
which is one of the prices people must pay for the high
privilege of raising a child.
Throughout childhood the parent is more or less free
from this danger. The %youngster is under his eye most
of the time. To be sure. there are exceptional cases;
but these are generally the parents fault, and a mis-
fortune that we bring on ourselves is a little less cruel
than one which comes in spite of everything that we
can do.
But sooner or later there comes a time when the
youngster has to go out on his own. And then the par
ents are helpless. They have done what they can to give
their child a good start. They have pointed out pitfalls
and snares, as well as they could see them. and they have
provided what armor they could. Now it is all out of
their hands. They are. literally, at the mercy Of the
fates.
For most of us it turns out rather we'll. for the world
is not quite as bad a place as it might. be. But there
are tragedies enough, in all conscience. Youth is i'm
petuous and hot headed. and it will, now and then, take
the poker by the hot end just to see if it will really burn.
And when it. happens the chief sufferer, always, Is
the helpless one back home. Behind every one of the
sorry newspapr accounts Of crime, folly and stupidity
there are invisible victims in the wings-waiters off
stage. who can do nothing on earth to avert a tragedy
that they do not deserve.

Will They Return?

1t is gratifying to learn that our marines are to be
withdrawn from Nicaragua. The government shouldcred
a thankless job when 1t sent them down there, and prob
ably no one will be more relieved to have them return
than official Washington.
Nevertheless, there may be in the land a few skeptcs
who will believe in the marines return only when they
see it.
you may recall that the marines were to have returned
as soon as the 1928 election had been held. The election
was held-and a good job the marines did in that con-
ncction, incidentaly-but the marines stayed. Now we
are told that they will be pulled back after the 1882
election. Well-we can but hope for the best.

The Danger of Waiting

Life can play foul jokes on people sometimes.
In a large middle western city there was a grocer, who
worked very hard and saved his money religiously so that
his old age would be provided for.
For SO years he stuck to his grocery store. He worked
and saved too hard to have very much fun. but he was
looking forward to the day when he could retire. Then
he would have his fun. He would have money and lei
sure, and he would make up for the years OF hard work.
Well, he finally retired-money in the bank, an assured
income, a nice home, everything he needed. Now" he
told his friends, II am going to enjoy life"
And just "a hours after he had retired he dropped dead.
If a novelist put that in a book we wouldn't believe 1t.
We would say that things don't really happen that way,
for an ironic effect.
But life takes queer twists that are not permitted to
good fiction. 1t all happened, precisely as it is described
here; and all we can do is admit that there are times
when wisdom and prudence are horribly confounded.
AS a matter of fact, this sort of thing happens fairly
often-in a little different way. Not many people who
have prepared for a carefree and leisurely old age die just
as they begin to taste their reward. of course: but they
get cheated out of their dues, just the same. They find
that leisure, after a lifetime OF hard work, is boredom.
They find that they have forgotten how to play. They
find that the empty hours are depressing because they
do not know what to do with them. They find them
selves feeling that they have been put upon the shelf.
and they grow 10 years older in IL months.
Perhaps we aren't meant to be too cautious. Deferring
ones happiness to the end, when one will have time and
the means to take it, is risky. For most Of us that
gilded tomorrow will never dawn. If we don't get our
happiness along the way we shall never get it at all.
That is a lesson worth learning. The real Joy of liv-
ing is not something that can be banked and drawn on
at some future date. 1t has to be taken from day to day.
1t is compounded, usually, Of many little experiences.
The haze of an autumn afternoon over . flaming wood
land; the confiding smile Of a child, nesting in ones
arms for a fairy tale; the smell Of a clear wind as one
trudges along a beach by blue water; the sudden revela-
ton of tenderness in the eyes Of q loved one: the brief.
vanishing Strain of a bit Of music-of such things is .
satisfying life fabricated. You cannot postpone them,
you cannot wait for them. You must get them as you 60

Vocational Education in North Dakota

Vocational Education in North Dakota
Since vocational education was definitely sponsored
by the federal government in 1917, by passage of the
Smith Hughes bill, that form Of education has made
a fair degree of Roadway in North Dakota. This is
proved by facts published in the latest state board Of
administration bulletin.
The bulletin states that federal alotments for yoca-
tional education in North Dakota amounted to *74.4l6
for the 1s3o-3l fiscal year, and $so,22 for the fiscal year
that will close June 30 this year.
The greater part of this money is spent to help main
tain agriculture teachers in state high schools, and
smaller amounts are apportioned to keep up the trade
courses at Wahpeton Science school and the agricultural
college.
A yearly allotment OF $4,000 is for training men and
women who have been disabled by injuries or disease,
making them fit to earn their own living in vacations
best suited to their strength and skill.
The bulletin contains several pictures of crippled youths
and children who have been physically salvaged and
whose lives have been made useful and happy by aid of
the small federal fund dedicated to that use.
Since rehabilitation work began in North Dakota, a
survey shows that over 400 cases have been up for exam
nation, but many Of these could not be helped because of
old age or subnormal mentality, or crippled conditions
that could not be remedied.
The board of administration bulletin gives a list of
14O persons who have been rehabnitated In this state and
are now employed. This seems like a very good showing,
in view of the short duration of the work and the small
amount of money available.
The term vocational education, as described in the
bulletin, is that form Of education of less than college
grade which is designed to meet the needs of persons
over the age of IA who have entered upon, or arc plan
ming to enter upon, useful, productive employment in
agriculture. trades, industries or hor1cmaking."
The main object, then, is to take young people in their
formative years and give them the training that will
make them self-supporting after they become indepen-
opf iptouorc in ~ life of n state
Undenably, this is a good branch of education for
the agricultural state of North Dakota, and no matter
what restrictions may have to be placed upon federal
and state expenditures, this work should be allowed the
normal, healthy growth that its relative Importance en-
titles it to.
