 Let us assume that she lies when she says that she killed in self de fense.
 Let us assume the worst phases Of the case are proved, or at least not disproved Hr' Nn
 Still, what is to be gained by subjecting a woman to the horrible, brutal. savage death penalty Of hanging?
 Can we say it has a deterrent effect upon other criminals?
 Apparently not, because in the states where they have no death penalties there are no more mur- ders than in the states where they have death penalties.
 Furthermore, in all history, hor- rible punishments have not pre- vented crime. They have merely brutalized the community or given evidence of an already brutalized community.
 The ancient penalties of boiling in oil and flaying alive have been abandoned but hanging still per- ,sists as a survival of savagery. | If the woman is a menace to the community, she would remove that menace by suicide, and why prevent her from removing that menace in order to preserve her and hang her to satisfy our savage instincts?
 Does the state set a Christian by committing murder for murder, when Christ taught His Followers to abandon the ancient, brutal and brutalizing policy of an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth?
 Does the state set a civilized ex- ample in committing murder for murder?
 The woman murdered in fren- zy of anger or jealousy or fear or hatred.
 She had been raised by a good Christian family; she had been a harmless person during her life, ap- parently law-abiding; but overcome by some storm of emotion she com- nltted murder.
 But the state murders in cold blood, and it murders with deliber-

ation, reconciliation, and intent to kill-and it murders as cruelty and brutally as any murderer can and finally it insists upon killing with savage methods rather than allowing the woman to put herself out of the way. -ss'
 The state kills not as a deterrent, for there is no more of a deterrent in hanging than there was in Hay ing or boiling in oil
 The state kills in the un-Chris- tian, uncivilized spirit of revenge, and insists upon killing in the savage and cruel way that will sat- isfy that vindictive spirit of re- venge. s
 Arizona is fine state, inhabited by fine, intelligent, modern pop ulation.
 Arizona should avoid the stigma of hanging a woman M
 The woman is to be hanged only because Of inherited convention
 The custom of hanging has sur vived from earlier days, from dark CT days.
 Is it not about time for modern American states to emerge from the Dark Ages and discard the GUS toms of the Dark Ages?
 Let hanging follow the unavail- ing cruelties- of flaying and boiling in oil.
 Let Arizona DC one of the civil lized states to discard this survival of savagery.
 Arizona should not be governed by the precedents of an outgrown age; and surely the men of Ari zona should not hang a woman

GENERAL RECALLS
FIGHTS ON MARINES
Declares Past Efforts to
+: Abolish Corps Have Met
! With Failure.

with talk of the Marine Corps vanish
ing in Navy Department reorgani-
zation, Brig. Gen. George Richards, the
I1aymaster of the famous outfit, Friday
1lght delivered an address at the Wash
ington Navy Yard, before the officers OF
the Volunteer Naval Reserve. asserting
that previous attempts to wipe out the
mpaniZation or diminish its functions
hive failed.
Recalling that Marines were utilized
fYom the earliest times and that in l74O
two regiments of American Marines were
recruited, the first of their kind in this
Hemisphere" Gen. Richards said that in
his own day the proposal has been put
forward that the presence OF the Marine
aboard ship was an obstacle to develop
ment of the military in the seamen.
/. Settled in 1913.
-''Not until 1918 was the matter def
nitely or finally settled" he said. "A
President of the United States had
championed the thought Of this school
he ordered all Marines in the fleet
ashore He said the Marines had aug
mented to themselves such Importance
and their influence, which they had
gained by pandering to every political
influence. had given them such an alb
normal position that they had simply
invited their own destruction. And he
added that he did not hesitate to say
that they, the Marines, should be alb
serbed into the Army and no vestige of
their organization should be allowed to
remain. But the Congress of the United
States thought differently. At that time,
1D09, Congress, after exhaustive hear
ings on the subject, provided, in max
40 iaAi fnr nf
the naval establishment, that no part of
the money appropriated should be avail
able unless the Marines we're restored to
their service at sea. BY 1911 the best
minds of the Navy had persuaded the
Navy Department to place itself in ac-
cord with this view of the Congress.
The existing policy with respect to sea
service of the Marine was then an
nounced.
Aim to Be Versatile.
1.-TWO years later, in 1918. effort was
made to reverse this policy, but the
General Board of the Navy on July 25,
1918, squelched that movement. And
the General Board at the same time put
further discussion forever at rest"
Gen Richards pointed out that Ma
rines are part of the fleet, operating
under the admiral, resulting in unity of
command "a perfect coordination of
tile Navy's soldier and sailor" The
military organization of the Marine
Corps differs considerably from that of
the Army, the general asserted, as 1.-The
company rather than the regiment, with
us is the basis of our organization of
field units. Neither Officers nor men
are likely to spend long period of time
in any one organization or with any one
arm-we aim to be versatile" he said.

LAUGHING AT THE EXPERTS


 The gazele-like maneuvers of the Babe at the outset of the cam paign have brought discomfiture to the camp correspondents who harp ed steadily on Ruth's shortcomings afield and on the bases. They said he was anchored in right field, so he promptly started out to cover more territory than he had handled in a couple of years galloping up and down the bank in front of the bleachers and snag- ging everything hit his way. He saved Gomez's great victory over Earnshaw with a bare-handed catch.
 They hinted he would need ad- ministration support to negotiate the bases, so he startled one and an by stealing second base against the Athletics one Sunday after noon.
 Maybe he can't keep up this pace but the Babe no doubt is having a lot of fun, meanwhile, laughing at the boys.
