On January 19, at some point in this state, a noose will be placed about the neck of a man—Edward Mayberry, half-breed Indian, convicted at Spokane of murdering his sweetheart on federal territory. A trap will be sprung. There will be a tautening of the rope—and a life will be snuffed out—the life of a human being! AND IT WILL BE DONE IN THIS STATE, WHICH FOUR YEARS AGO DECIDED THAT CAPITAL PUNISHMENT WAS ARCHAIC, AND ABOLISHED IT! How about it, folks? Shall Mayberry hang This isn’t a question of the man’s guilt or innocence. A jury of seem- ingly competent men decided he was guilty. Let it go at that! But it IS a question of whether or not the people of this state, once having decided that capital punishment belonged to the dark ages and hav- “4 ing wiped it from the slate, will countenance it ‘again. 4 A widespread appeal is being sounded to President Wilson for clemency. : One of those who has signed the petition is Gov.

And yet it seems that water power development IS tak-|® fing place under just these terms and in the very place that the water power gentlemen say it is “locked up.” For the fiseal year 1916, says Henry S.
