Try and Stop Me
-By BENNETT C1RF-
ARNOLD BENNETT, author of The Old Wives' Tale" and
"Imperial Palace," had a disconcerting habit at literary
gatherings. He would select a chair in the middle of the fes-
..kl.. - 1 ill. n
alseep. He had been dozing
happily one evening all
through a bitter argument
on current trends when a
particularly vehement dec-'
laration woke him with a
start.
"Isnt time for us to be
goingr' suggested his em
barrassed wife. "NotatalU-"
rasped Mr. Bennett "It
would be extremely rude to
leave so early" and went
back to sleep.

Alan Moorehead tells about three applicants for a minor govern
ment job in the Middle East an American, an Englishman and an
Armenian. Each applicant was asked the same simple question:
What is 26 plus 25?
The Englishman asked for time to think about it. The American
fished a small adding machine out of his kit. The Armenian an
swered, "It all depends. Are you buying or selling?"

In the Day's Hews
By FRANK JINKIMS
I'm intrigued by an item on
the teletype. It goes like this:
Governor Holmes and Sec
retary of State Hatfield, con
tenders in the next Oregon
gubernatorial race, have had
much to say on the subject of
capiTOL punishment.
"Governor Holmes has
come out flatly for abolition
of capiTOL punishment and
asked the people to vote it
out of the Oregon constitution
in November. He has coi
muted two death sentences
while in office.
"Hatfield's public state
ments have been a bit more
cautious. He says he will
'carry out the mandate of the
people with regard to capi
TOL punishment." . -
1'M NOT concerned, at the
moment, with the views of
those opposing candidates on
Garcia Welcomed
At Hawaii During
Return Trip Home
Honolulu (UPI) Presi
dent Carlos P. Garcia of the
Philippines visited Hawaii to
day on his return to his home
land after a six-day visit to
the United States.
Garcia arrived Sunday aft
er a flight from San Fran
cisco, where he received the
territory's official greetings
from Gov. William Quinn and
Adm. Felix Stump,ecommand
er in chief of the Pacific.
Today Garcia was to break
fast with industrialist Henry
J. Kaiser. His schedule also
called for him to receive an
honorary degree of doctor of
law from the University of
Hawaii, visit Punchbowl Na
tional cemetery and to be
guest of honor at a reception
by the Philippine Consulate.
Astounded
He leaves tomorrow for
Manila. Before leaving San
Francisco, Garcia said he was
astounded atthe "unanimity
of fellowship" he found wher
ever he wgnt.
"America and the Philip
pines have a long tradition of
friendship, of course, but I
never expected a welcom
such as I received fell over
America," he said.
At a breakfast given by R.
Stanley Dollar, shipping ex
ecutive yesterday, Garcia
urged the United SitesD to
"make both money nd
friends" by placing more in
vestments in southeast A.si..
the death penalty. What in
terests me is the use. of the
word capiTOL when the word
capiTAL is obviously called
for. .
It couldn't have been a
typographical error, for it is
repeated three times. It was
just a plain boner. Newspaper
people shouldn't make boners
like that. Their job is to in
form the public. If they are
to inform the public accu
rately, they must use the
right words just as s sur
geon must use the right in
strument if his operation is to
be successful and save the pa
tient's life.
This misuse of the word
capiTOL could be quite misleading.
FOR example:
CapiTAL punishment
means imposition of the death
penalty for certain crimes, in
cluding murder and treason.
CapiTOL punishment can
mean a wide range of evils.
CapiTOLS are the monumen
tal buildings located in state
and national capiTALS. It is
in these buildings that gov
ernmental policies are out
lined and embodied into
LAWS. '
So
You see
It is obvious that capiTOL
punishment can be among the
mgedest of the punishments
that can be inflicted upon us.
BAD GOVERNMENT is un
doubtedly the worst punish
ment that can be imposed up
on mankind. Bad government
originates in capiTOLS. It
must therefore be classed as
capiTOL punishment.
CapiTAL punishment is
pretty tough, of course. But
it has this ameliorating ad
vantage: IT'S OVER QUICK
LY. The trap falls on the
scaffold. The current is
turned into the hot seat of
the electric chair. The poison
gas pellets are dropped into
the receptacle in the execu
tion chamber. That's that,
and it's done and over with.'
CapiTOL punishments
meaning bad government, in
cluding grinding taxation and
all the evils that go along
with government that isn't
what it should be LASTS A
LONG, LONG ME. Some
time its last :;r centuries.
SO
Gentlemen of the press
and punchers of the tapes
that spread the news, of the
world among the people for
their edification and enlight
enment BE CARIUL WITH YOUR
WORDS.
They are the tools of your
trade.

Police Nab Man

71. because he failed to
wear his boxving gloves to
the baseball game at Co

Murphy is a rabid base
