Friday, the 13th, five men are to die .on the ga down at Salem, Or. “Hanged by the neck until you are cead Phone: xchange Main 9400 a lows That's the way the judge put it when he senten them. The people of this great and enlightened nation have widely different views regarding the custom of taking @ Ife for a life. Barbaric, say some. Justice, say others The voters of Oregon had an opportunity last month at the polls to abolish capital punishment. These same five men, under sentence of death, waited anxiously in their cells for the returns, But the vote was against them The state of Washington has more than a passing interest in Friday's hanging at Salem We, in Washington, look upon the proposition as do the people of Oregon. At least, we share with Oregon the custom of putting our murderers to death, Two years ago the Washington state legislature was considering enactment of a law to do away with the gallows. It seemed that the bill would pass. A majority of the lawmak at Ol\mpia Were said to be for it. The women who had lobbied for the measure were sure it would Then the chief of police of Spokane was shot in the back and killed. It was @ brutal affair. It turned the tide of sentiment. The bill was defeated The matter will come up again when the legislature convenes net month. Representative Francis P. of Seattle plans to introdtice another bill. Once again the State of Washington must go upon record as to whether Or not it is opposed to capital punishment The state of Washington, therefore, will have more than @ passing erest in this “object lesson” of Governor West's Friday at Salem. The Modern Idea of a Newspaper All the news printed in a way makes it possible for everybody to READ it ALL That is what The Seattle Star is doing, printing ALD the news in brief, snappy, appetizing style, so you all have the time to read AND THE DESIRE TO READ Long-winded articles, stories “padded” and_ str out to fill space, are too much out of tune with the times. AND THE PEOPLE HAVEN’T GOT THE TIME TO READ "EM, ANYWAY So The Seattle Star is giving them what they want] in the way they want it Is lt Cheaper? During the investigation of the sugar trust, now on, it fs shown that the Beet Sugar Refiners’ association had good intentions—even formally resoluted intentions—of withdraw- ing from their agreement with the American refiners, but the good intentions were never acted upon. Some of us with retentive memories for such particularly interesting details, fecall a report. that Hades is paved with good intentions, in Stead of the regular asphalt stuff, and we have conclude that the sufficient reason therefor is that the intentions are cheaper than asphalt. A Clameross Demand There is still some agitation in certain parts of the ®ountry in favor of the coinage of half-pennies, but it is rved with pleasure and approval that it is not so in- ently clamorous as is the demand for the coinage of ha eggs during a time when whole eggs are selling at a nickel per egg.

ACTRESS’ CONSCIENCE TROUBLING HER NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—De- claring that her husband was possessed of an ungovernable temper, Kitty Grant, show girl and artist's model, has petition- ed Gov. Dix today to pardon Wm. Jones, now serving a 20- year sentence for the slaying of her husband, Wm. Lyeaght, on March 4, 1911.
