BA,S GOVERNOR of the ste, 'Walter Pierce, In refusinB to in
iX. terfere with the execution! of 1'eare ani Aivell, today, merely
did his duty. 1
It is the Ciovcrnor's place 410' to iliterpret or modify the laws,
hut to see that they me curried out. Uoth of these unfortunate
men had fair trials, there was no reasouahlo doubt of their Kiiilt,
and wilh the law what it is, interference with the sentences, would
Jin ve been an usurpation of authority, which .the Governor does not
rinhtfully posses.
"While no criticism attaches to the Governor's action, no one can
read the revolting details of this jjlutstly business, without a feel-
in; of horror and a conviction, tluit the people of this state should
at least, eliminate banning as the method of upholding the majesty
of thc'law. v
As Ion: as a majority of the people of this state favor capital
punishment, the jjiviiifr of a life must be the penalty for taking it.
But punishment by death should not he punishment by torture,
yet in the case of Arthur Covcll today, as is too often the ease
where the noose is employed, it was torture.
The Hail Tribune, of course, favors enforcement of the death
penalty as Ions as it is on the statute books. But it favors the
quickest, least painful and least offensive death that science has de
vised, which hanginK most certainly is not.
CROSS-WORp PUZZLE STORY,
GIVE ME A LUMP
ANOTHER MYTH SMASHED.
rri HOSE who have lived through the old carriage days and to
X see the time when there was an automobile fur everv six
persons in the United States have noted that horses and carriages,
even at the zenith of their popularity,-were never owned by such
large percentage of tho population as the automobile now is. This
knowledge lias frequently caused them to question the ability of
the country to buy and operate so many automobiles.
Some interesting light on the economic relation of the horse nnd
automobile has been shed by a Baltimore rcminiscencer. Referring
to the nineties, when the horse and carrige were in great vogue in
this country, lie writes:
"A few. years ago I talked with the man who had made General
A. E. Booth's harness at $15(10 a set. He showed me a piece, of one
of the traces which ho had saved. It had eighteen stitches to the
inch, and he told me that no man, not even himself, being forever
out of practice,, could, now execute such fine handwork.. Carriages,
coaches and all fine vehicles cost a lot of money, as much as a good
automobile $2,000 for a coach with its twelve or more hand-dressed
coats of varnish, six months or a year even in the shop. A physic
Inn's carriage or fine jagger cost from $o'00 to $1000, and the iron
tires cost more for renewal in a year than rubber tires do today for
very many times the mileage.'-
This disposes of another of the mythical benefits enjoved by the
aneienls and denied the present age and gives the automobile owner
what solace he can get out of the knowledge that he is no more ex
travagant than his horse-driving forefathers were and that he can
have the joys of the automobile nt even less enut than lm u-mibl
inepaid in the nineties for a good carriage without the horses.

"IMPROVEMENTS every day we see, do better things the
race inspires; pedestrians now view with glee the big, in
flated, mushy tires. High pressure tires have had their day,
they've done their work, they've played their games; I knew
they were not here to stay they were too hard on human frames.
Pedestrians have certain rights which motorists should all re
spect; they'ro often highly moral wights, in whom no blemish
we detect. It isn't fair to run them down with tires pumped
up to 8."), when we are scorching through the town, rejoicing
that we are alive. The old style tires cave in their slats, and
rip their clothes and muss their hair, and oftentimes their Sun
day bats are flattened out beyond repair. I've had small fliv
vers, largo sedans, anil othei cars run over .me, and, crawling
from beneath those vans, I surely was a sight to see. The tires,
as hard as iron. wheels, reduced me to a ghastly wreck; they tore
away my rubber heels and wound my eoattails 'round my neck.
But now that tires are soft and fat, contrary to the ancient
styles, pedestrians will come fo bat, and take their medicine -with
smiles. It is no hardship to be downed by tires so sumpt
uous and f;gr, that only carry twenty pounds of costly non-ex-plosive
air. I seem to see the victims rise, astonished nnd de
lighted men, nnd cry, with laughter in their eyes, ""What fun!
Please run us down again!" Thus things grow better every
