ASHLAND DAILY TIDINGS

Illinois is to have * hanging party unequaled
in the criminal history of the United States. Six
men, all convicts in the Illinois state penitentiary»
are to “ swing by {he neck” for the killing of a
deputy warden, who crossed their path when, they
made a break for liberty;
• While all of the six did not actually commit
the erime, all were parties to it. Any ofie of the
sextet would have taken a life if necessary to gain
his end. The man who killed the warden was at
heart no more guilty than his companions who
watched him commit the crime. All had an equal
Ijart and all will have equal punishment
Most of the oonvicts were long tenners. Had
the jury recommended a lighter sentence it would
have meant, at most but a few more years in jaiL
to .them it would have meant nothing, because they
would have died before their present terms expired.
Any other than the death penalty would have been
ho penalty at all. Hanging was the only, punishment
the jury could mete out
This bread of punishment may serve to soften
some of the “ hard hoil4**,who have looked lightly
on the lives of prison guards in the past It may
serve to deter jail breaks.

Ashland *s firet holiday festival opening will

the affair a success. Special entertainment has been
arranged, the band will furnish music, and the .
public is expected to coftie out and see a few of
th» many suggestions local merchants have to offer
for the holiday season. In this phase of the affair

The Basketball League
Beeefttly the Tidiugs suggested .that a ci vie
basketball league should be established with var
ious organisations having teams. Secretary Walter
of the Y. M. C. A. and Coach Hughes of the Normal
school took kindly to the suggestion, and a meet
ing Wffs Called Wednesday night, with .representa
tive» from five organizations present The spirit
displayed at this meeting was sufficient evidence
to support the prediction that the inter-city basket
ball league will become a certainty. I t is planned
to get into action shortly after the holiday season.
To our minds this is ofie o£ the finest things that
(jin happen in Ashland. The joining tbgether of the
various organiMtions, in a friendly spirit of rivalry»
will not only serve to give many some valuable ex
ercise, but it will also increase the splendid co
operative spirit that has done so much for this
city.
