Roosevelt’s Life,” says: Martha Place, a half-demented old woman, comnutted a murder. Lt was ‘|a murder of jealousy. Homely, ‘old, ill-tempered, not loved by her hus- band, she murdered her step daughter because she was jealous of the hus- band’s attention to the daughter. It wasa murder so shocking that nothing worse could be thought of— that is to say, only ove thing worse could be thought of, and that was the electric killing of the old woman. Newspapers had predicted that she never would die the in electric chair. Governor Morton, a_ plain, kindly old gentleman, who had never shot anybody in the back and had no especial claims to glory, had twice de- clared when Governor that he would not allow a woman to be killed by electricity. Noae—not even the worst—had been executed in the State for years. But Martha Place commited her murder and was committed for mur- der when Rvosevelt was Governor. Roosevelt feared nothing. . When urged by his friends and family not to allow the old woman to be killed so brutally, he snapped his white teeth and declared that “mawkish senti- mentality” could not move him. Women and decent men appealed to him, but his ¢ourage” could not be moved. “What,” he asked, ‘an electric chair paid for by the Stateand no Gover- nor has had the courage to send a weman to that electric chair? il show them what I dare do.” It was no idle boast. ‘The day came, the old woman was half pushed, half carried into the death room. The bach: of her legs was bared to the hip that the second electrode might bugn her without set- ting fire to her clothing, A score of men looked on at this sight. which history owes to the ‘brave” Governor Roosevelt. It was a sight to be seen only once. Roose- velt will never again be Governor. ‘here will never again be a man at the head ofa great’ State capable of sending woman in shameful dress to a shameful death beforeymany men. ~ the sensation of killing a fellow creat- ure. It was not a foolhardy - under- taking, for the man’s back was turned. He could not suddenly face around and do harm, for he had dropped _ his weapons in his flight. If ever Roose- velt was to enjoy the sensation of tak- ing human life, here was the chance to enjoy the sensation safely. ife says in the shameful story which he himself has signed and left for his children to read: “TI shot him dead with my revolver.” We do not pretend to guess what the next “brave” deed of this brave man may be, if offices and opportoni- ties continue to pour in upon him. We simply narrate these twosample deeds of heroism as guides to those who must vote this fall. An old woman electrocuted. A fleeing unarmed man shot in the back. Such aré Roosevelt’s chiet claim to heroism at present. If you. endorse jsuch heroism vote for him by all means. Tne latest Republican excuse for the present war in the Philippines. | and incidentally for its continuance and perpetuation, together with a de- sire to retain the islands under a colonial government, with a large standing army, comes from the Mari- nett Eagle, which asks: ‘Please tell us what this country would have done in the Chinese complications when our ministers and citizens were in dan- ger, if we had no possessions or no | army'in the east?” According to this class of teaching it would be ne- cessary for this country to establish some form of military government in every land in the universe, that the United States ministers and consuls may have protection close at hand. It would be necessary to establish a precedent of military protection ia times of peace, maintained dunng tumes of peace, and controlled by the government for conquest and tradi- tional imperialism yet unknown to a people who have builded a govern- ment upon the principle of humanity, and maintained by a- flag of freedom. Tne Kagle knows full well that the Chinese outbreak is not excusable fur the retention of a vast army in the Philippines, and 1t also knows that the On the testing board long rows of electric lamps burned brightly to show that the power that Roosevelt had or- dered was there to kill when the but- ton should be touched. Martha. Place turned her pale, watery eyes about the room Her gray hairs close cropped, her bent figure, her utter helplessness, her shameful dress might even have touched Roose- velt had his courage reached the point of witnessing the atrocity he had people of this country do not yet en- tertain the idea of perpetuating an army in these islands that troops may be at hand in case of war. This country has retained its individuality and identity for many years without resorting to a standing army, and by the grace of the Democratic party it will continue to maintain its inde- pendence and retain its constitution, which today grants to every citizen the same rights of freedom and_pro- ordered.

But the second deed may move them. ‘That second deed can be told more quickly. Roosevelt had gone to war.
