Odds and Ends
Chicago. Paul Kiirllhe was detain
ed by police when he was found with
a package containing eight chemises,
tie unlit he was on his way to a shim
my pnnty v-and "how could It be staged
without chemises?" he asked. - ,
AS AN aftermath of recent brutal murders, there is
popular outcry for the restoration of capital punish
ment in Oregon by the repeal of the initiative law abolish
ing it.
Abolition of the extreme-penalty is not the sole cause
of crime but accoi'ding to admissions of convicted mur
derers, a contributing cause.
The law is evidently too altruistic for humanity as
at present constituted. It has apparently acted as a stim
ulus to homicidal degenerates whose existence is a men
ace to society, and upon whom leniency and kindness are
wasted."
With or without capital punishment, homicides con
tinue, but there is no question but that the fear of the
gallows acts as a deterant to the born criminal. Know
ledge that his own neck is safe, makes him take a chance.
Human nature has not materially changed in. the
7000 years of recorded history. The baked clay cylin
ders of ancient Babylon and Egypt record the story of a
civilization not fundamentally different from our own and
portray the annals of a people whose daily life, though
not so complex, was similar to the life of today.
They reveal humanity much the same as today, the
same primal passions and impulses, the same natures, the
same ambitions and aspirations, the same laws, the same
crimes and penalties. The apparent changes are more or
less superficial.
That human nature has not changed and that civil
ization is only a veneer to cover the beast, was proved
during the war, when the Germans relapsed to scientific
savagry and re-enacted the role of brutality enacted by
Egyptians and Babylonians in ravagiing the woild thou
sands of years before Christ preached the brotherhood of
man.
Some day perhaps we will be intelligent enough to
prevent crime by abolishing the cause, but humanity has a
long road to travel toward progress before society will
be safe without punishments to fit the crime.. As long as
degenerates, perverts and criminals are born and turned
loose to scourge society for its sins, just so long is the
spectre ot the gallows necessary to safeguard the innocent.
The assertion in the Capital Journal editorial of No
vember 20, that the president had the power to declare
war, should hav read "congress alone has the power to
declare war"" the intent being to show" that the con
stitutional powers of president and congress could not be
modified by the peace treaty or by the Lodge reservations.

"Why didn't you tell me that you

as he came up from the shower, an

"Why, John, you know we never

would give you a little surprise." -
"I don't like surprises."
"Forgive me. John, 1 will never do
it again. And for fear that I may be
asked to play tennis or enter a polo
match or swim, hadn't I better tell
you now, lover, that I do all those
things rather, well.. I was active In all
sports at Curritmdo last, year." ..
"Well, If you do all these things as
well as you play, goif, you tire all

Mexico City, Nov. 23. The Mexican
public apparently is keenly Interested
in the case of William Jenkins,
American consular agent imprisoned in
Puebla on a technical charge of false
declarations, but it is not highly ex

ment or the attitude of the United
States.
' While realizing that the American
note demanding Jenkins' release leaves
no doubt as to Its meaning, the pub
lic generally seems to view it as on y

does not afford himself of the oppor

is seeking "martyrdom."

for what he's done this time. Isn't she
a stunner?"
The sound of Elizabeth Moreland's
voice came drawllngly.
"YeS, she's like all .those athletic
masculine girls. Looks well on the
golf course. But you should have seen
her last night! She was a perfect
frump, my dear, a perfect. frump! She
came to our table In a very wrinkled

The other woman answered: "Bess.
you are a jealous cat. Give her
chance. Perhaps her clothes hadn't
arrived."
"I don't understand what you mean,
Sullle," . answered Bessie fretfully.
"But you can make up your mind to
one thing! Had I been foolish enough
to become John Gordon's wife I cer
tainly would not have allowed hlin to
put me in the position she was In
last night.'
They went out the door and left
me wondering a little as to Just what
position John had occupied in Bessie
Moreland's life
I didn't really think they had been
engaged, because whatever John's
faults.,he has nn uncompromising loy
alty to his own code and t have heard
him say a number of times that he
would never wrong a woman in any
way.
But still there was that ring! I
wonder if he really gave it to her?"
I asked myself idly, dabbling powder
on my nose. Not that 1 cared one way
or the other 1 was too happy today
to care.
Today marriage was meaning to me
Just what I had expected of it. John
had spent almost the entire time with
me; I had impressed his friends fav
orwably; he had given me nn unex
pected and most splendid gift and I
had heard pride In his voice when he
spoke of me.
I have sometimes wondered since
why a woman cannot make these hap
py times offset some of the other
times. 1 am almost sure that John
Gordon Is just an average man and I
think 1, perhaps, am an average wom
an, but certainly something is wrong
with our marriage.
Yet, during the first three months
of my married life, in spite of John's
little idiosyncracies which X found
hard to understand, I was supremely
happy. Even Madame Gordon had the
power to hurt me only for the mo
