Mr. Osborne has some ver) ideas in regard to the punishment of crime, one in particular being his op- position to capital punishment. He says that he will not be seen In the death chamber during the infliction of the death penalty and places himself on record as favoring public execu- tl if there are to be any, saying that if there are to be such things they should not be private but should be made as strong a deterrent of crime The support of such a man and he a warden of prison where there have been a number of oxecutions, would apt to have an influential effect in an effort to abolish capital punishment. Were New York to take such a step it would mean that similar steps would be undertaken in other states.

Although it. s within a week of Thanksgiving the question of the turkey supply Is very uncertain. There are stillisome restrictions placed on shipments Ohio and other western states because of the preva- lence of the foot and mouth disease Lut there will'be no such restrictions shipments New York state. There turkeys will sell at along about twenty-five cents wholesale, which will probably mean from twenty-eight to thirty cents retall. This is somewhat higher than last year, which, by the low ocompared to some The supply this vear is not going to be abundant and this naturally has affected the price.

The republic of Switzerland fur- nisaes an example in the way of mili- preparedness well worth study. has no standing army, and yet every man is a trained soldier and can at any time be called upon to de- fend his country. There has been no violation of Switzerland’'s neutral- ity, not only because her topography is unfavorable for invasion, but be- cause neighboring nations have a wholesome respect for the trained valor and thorough equipment of her citizen soldiery. Military training in Switzerland begins at the age of eight years, From the ages of seven- teen to forty-mine service is com- pulsory at the call of the state. All males not incapacitated serve thirteen years in the aufzug, twelve years in the landwehr and six vears in the landstrum. From eight years to sev- enteen the boys receive military in- struction In the public schools, and when they enter the aufzug they are prepared for actual training in arms. In the first year of their service they spend from sixty-seven to ninety-two days in camp or mhaneuvers, depend- ing upon whether they belong to cav- alry, infantry, artillery or engineers. In each subsequent year they serve thirteen days. The total service for the thirteen years is 141 days for in- fantry, 146 for engineers, 160 for cav- alry and 163 for artillery. This makes a total of less than six months for the thirteen years, but the train- ing is that of actual warfare, and the product is trained and seasoned- sol- diers. This Swiss force can only be called for defense against invasion. sFor an offensive campalgn a new army must be raised by volunteering. Australia. has a similar system, sup- plemented with a small regular army of 2,364 men. Boys begin training at twelve year: Junior cadets are from twelve to fourteen years, senior cadets from fourteen to eighteen, and then comes the national guard, embracing all ablebodied men between the ages of eighteen and twenty years. Senior cadets get sixtv-four hours training each year, but do not go into camp. The National guard has six- teen days' training each year for six vears, This law was passed in 1911, and It is expected that by 1919 there will be 100,000 senior cadets and 128,000 militia in training. There Is not the same thorough preparation and equipment in Aus- tralia as in Switzerland, but in both the result is to ¢ a large body of trained and disciplined soldiers, upon whom the government may call at any time, instead of being compelled to rely upon volunteers, ignorant of the very rudiment of a milit edu- cation, undrilled and undisciplined.

The legisl tors who pass such laws are untrue to their trust and corrupters of the electorate by bribery with laws in- of money. Such legislation is unsocial as socialism itsell. Tt is form of protection akin to the tariff | ainst which the nation has set its face in the same manner that it must set its face against some legis- lation to which there is 1 much pointing with pride. It may appear that Mr. overshot his mark by appealing to law which must be repealed, if it means what he says, and is valid. By frightening the wetors into work he has taken the bread from the mouths of citizens as well as aliens. He may find that the rank and file of unionis would work beside aliens than not and that they have no use for excess of 7 s his. Perhaps Mr. Gill's greatest surprise will be that public opinion wil not sustain him in stopping work upon the sub- ways.
