good old St. Patrick's day,
dear to all Irish hearts, or at least to
nil who think all shades of green pre
ferable to any tint of yollow. St. Pad
dy wan undoubtedly a mighty fino man,
lint our records of him aro rather un
certain and unreliable. Ho was a
Scotchman, but not a "ennny" one,
and, from nil accounts, nil ho lucked of
hoing an Irishman, was that ho was
rot born in the littio Emerald Islo, for
ho had all the symptoms, Just when
lio invaded Ireland is uncertain, tho
historians fixing tho duto all tho way
from A. T. 303 to !70. However, it
doesn't make any special difference
now just what tho year was, for it
was bo long ngo, anyway, that even
tho wiso old oncyclopedinn guys can't
got up courage to quarrel about it. At
any rato, tho good old saint wns there,
and tho fact that every loyal Irishman
has a warm spot in his heart for tho
lirave old saint, shows that ho was
thora with both foot, and made such an
improssion on tho race that his memory
is ns dear aftor tho lapso of at least
1.150 yearB ns was his presence at tho
timo. So today not only Irishmen, but
nil tho English-speaking pooplo wenr

littio bunch of Shamrock, fresh from
tho "Ould Sod."

T ' '
t Tho Capital Journal Invites pub-
I Ho discussion In this department . .
f Let both sides of all matters "
f be fully brought out It Is not
I the purposo of this newspaper to -
I do tho thinking for its readers.
The Humphrey Case.
Editor Capital Journal: ,
The press Is connecting my name
with the Humphrey case, and as some
of the statements made are not alto
gether uecurante, I ask tho courtesy
of your columns for a brief letter.
It is true, that 1 usked tho governor
to grant a reprieve, if ho could do
nothing more,, suggesting a week or
two. The ground on which I asked
that no execution take place on Good
Friday wns that it would outrage the
feelings of a very large number of
citizens; my own convenience was a
secondary consideration, although of
some Importance to my own people.
It Is not true that I have "repre
sented a certain element opposed to
capital punishment." My mind Is
open 011 the subject. Tho only ex
cuso 1 can see for the practice Is tho
supposed fact that tt acts as a det
errent, which appears doubtful. But
unless life Imprisonment means more
than a few years In prison, It cer
tainly will not act as a sufficient
deterrent. I believe that the law
should be amended In several re
spects, so as to provide adequate pro
tection society; if possible, without
inflicting tho death penalty. But the
present law as to Imprisonment and
pardons is Inadequate.
Tho grounds upon which I have
sought a commutation In the present
case are not sentimental. I believe
there is grave doubt of the guilt of
these men. The only evidence against
them Is their own "confessions." Now
they arc both of a very low grade of
Intelligence, and the process of the
"third degree" would Infallibly con
fuse them entangle them, nnd finally
Involve them In contradictions from
which tiliey would strive to extricate
themselves by giving the answers
suggested to them by their Inquis
itors, There is great probability thr.t
the wholo story was suggested to
them In this way, and then drawn
from them. Moreover, neither of
them was in the least familiar with
tho law and Its processes and terms
nnd even though warned In accord
ance with tho Btntute, they would not
have been at all likely to comprehend
the meaning of those terms nor to
have realized that their statements
would be used against them. For all
practical purposes, they were com
pelled to testify against themselves,!
a thing not only forbidden by the I
runuamonuu law, dui aiso Buoversive
of all Justice.
Again, it must be remembered that
Immediately after their arrest the pa
pers) were filled with "confessions"
of other crimes. Probably the gen
eral public still thinly they com
mitted them. Hut It Is a fact that
the defence offered nt the trial to
prove by competent witnesses that
none of these other crimes wore
commuted at nil, by anyone. Dy tho
rules of evidence ns Interpreted by
tho trial court and sustained on np
penl. this evidence was excluded. The
members of tho jury were familiar
with thoso other stories, nnd undoubt
edly were biased by them. The papers
had called the Humphreys "nuiltlmur
derers," nnd so the public thought of
them. All who know the case now
admit ithat these other "confessions"
were fairy storb'S, without the slight
est foundation In fact. They were ex
ttacted from Charley Humphrey by
newspaper men, unquestionably by
much the same methods ns those
used In getting the "confessions" on
which the state relied for conviction
of the Crirrith erliuc. This certainly
d.sts much doubt on the validity of
Ihe evidence used by the state.
Thero nre other considerations re
specting tin evidence which tend to
sustain the contention that the "con
fessions" were suggested to these
men piece by piece, nnd extracted
from them by (ho force of strong
wills working on minds nnd wills
barely worthy the name; but to state
them would necessitate reviewing tho
testimony as a whole.
As a final consideration, these men
aro of such rudimentary Intelligence
that to execute them would be very
like hanging little children, Wher
ever they have lived tiny have been
known as harmless, .half-witted, In
dustrious fellows, but ltcver as even
passably intelligent. The fact that
their parents were first cousins goes
far to exp'ain their affliction.
Permit mo to say In conclusion that
I am not yet without hope that the
governor will commute the sentences
In view of all Ihe facts In the case.

I Proverbs of St. Patrick.
I
Followers of Christ should not bo
so swift in Judgment until they know
how true It may be which is written,
"Ho not desire quickly to be a Judge."
Those iu authority in the church
ought not to have worldly wisdom
but dlvlna examples before them, fur
It does not become the servants of
God to be crafty or cunning.
Judges of the church ought to Judge
Just Judgments, for with whatever
judgment they shull judge it shull be
Judged to theui.
Judges of the church ought not to
respect a person iu Judgment, "for
thero is no respect of persons with
God."
Pluck of in Irish Princs.
It is related that while engaged In
the baptism of royal Prince Aengus,
son of the king of Munster, St. Patrick,
leaning 011 his crozler, pierced with Its
sharp point the prince's foot. Aengus
bore the pain unmoved. When St
Patrick, at the close of the ceremony,
saw the blood How and asked why he
had remained silent the prince said
that be thought It was a part of the
ceremony.
He Kidnaped 8t, Patrick.
Mllchu, the Irish chleftuin who kid
naped St. Patrick, ended his life by
throwing himself Into tho flames that
were destroying his castle. He had
previously thrown all his personal be
longings Into the lire, bearing that St.
Patrick was coming to visit him. The
mint saw the work of destruction from
a nearby hill, but too Into to prevent
Mllcbu's self destruction.

(From The Dermatologist.)
Tho freckling, discoloring of rough
ening to which dellcar.e skins are sub
ject after exposure to wind or sun,
often appearing In early spring, may
lie gotten rid of. Morcollzed wax,
spread lightly ovor tho face before re
tiring and removed In the morning
with soap and water, completely peels
off the disfigured skin. Get an ounce
of the wax at any druggist's. There'B
no more effective way of banishing
freckles or other cutaneous defects.
Little skin particles come off each
day, so the process doesn't even tem

soon acquires a brand new, spotless,
