UNITED STATES LEADS IN MURDER.
Whether the United States predominates in other lines
may be open for argument, but when it. comes to murder
there is no question about our leading the world. A com
parison with the murder rates in other countries, not
counting the murders committed under the name of war,
shows London has one murder, or a trifle less, each year
for every 100,000 population. Paris has 3.5 and Berlin 2.
In New York the number is 7, in San Francisco 1:.M and
in New Orleans 24.5. Charleston reports 150 as her yearly
quota, Savanah 48 and Memphis holds the record with 68
for each 100,000 population yearly. Another feature about
those gruesome statistics is rather surprising, too; and
that is that 81 cut of 100 murders are committed by native
born Americans. The reason for this is the false senti
mentality with which we view murderers, and the laxity
of punishment. It is not the abolishment 'of the death pen
alty that causes murder to be so common, but the absence
of any punishment. It is not the severity of the punish
ment that deters criminals, but ts certainty. Imprison
ment for life is punishment enough if it necessarily fol
lowed the crime, but between sentimental jurors and per
verted public sentiment about one in ten of the murderers
in this country are punished at all. The "unwritten law"
and all that kind of tommy-rot is back of our excelling all
other countries in the way of murder. .
EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.
"NOT PEACE, BUT A SWORD."
Some highly optimistical folks think the time is ripe
for nations not mixed up in the European war to take
some steps toward bringing about peace. If this could be
accomplished, it of course should be done, but instead of
peace being in sight, or the countries ready for it, just the
other condition prevails. -
Dispatches a day or so ago. telling of Portugal giving)
her war minister the right to declare war against Ger- j
many at any time, shows the feeling there, and yesterday i
a story came from Servia that some fifteen Russian regi-!
ments had arrived at Radnivatz, Servia, to assist in her j
defense. This indicates that Roumania has allowed the !
Russians to violate her neutrality and that she has made j
a bargain with Russia, under which she will join the allies !
in return for a generous slice of Austria, when the war is
over and the carving of that country begins. j
If Roumania gets in, it is almost a certainty that the '
other Balkan states will also throw their aid to the allies.
This will force Italy to take part, and against Germany
and Austria, as she also wants a slice of Austrian terri-,
tory.
Over and above all, this action by Roumania and Por
tugal indicates the ideas of those states as to who will
win, as they are not anxious to get in on the losing side.
The Krupp gun factory is the most prosperous com
pany in Germany. Since the war started it has declared
a dividend of 12 per cent and increased its capital stock
to four times what it was. War may be what Sherman
said it was, but it has a more roseate coloring from the
viewpoint of the Krupps and that class.

WHAT OTHER LAWMAKEBS IN
WASHINGTON" THINK OF THE
MAXWELL FEAT i .ILM.
It is just as well that there is no Thanksgiving day in
Europe, for it would bother most folks there to discover
something to be thankful for. This, by the way, should
make them thankful that they have no Thanksgiving day.
The "Shop Now" campaign initiated by the Consum
ers' league of Ohio has a two-fold motive. Early Christ
mas shopping always gives the purchaser an advantage.
This year, business conditions imperatively require early
buying.
This is a moment of the greatest dislocation of Ameri
can industry by the European war. This is the period
when merchants long for customers and manufacturers
yearn for orders, and when employes dread dismissal.
Shopping now will not only enable purchasers to select
with care and calmness, to remember everyone, and in
every way get completest satisfaction in the Christmas
buying. It will also give to all the consciousness that they
are diminishing the area of charity by keeping people at
work at a time of the most urgent need for employment.
There is economy, not extravagance, in buying as early
is possible. Since the supply of Christmas things, which
has come largely from Germany, Belgium and France, is
entirely cut off, prices must rapidly rise as the stocks on
hand in this country become exhausted.
"It's the early bird that gets the worm," and it's the
early buyer that get's the bargain, particularly this year.
Richard Croker, the Tammany brave who wed yester
day, is far from gallant, and from his remarks is evident
ly of the opinion he is doing a bad thing in getting mar
ried. To a newspaper man, who wanted a story about it
the bis chief said: "When a man does a good thing, the
newspapers never mention it When he doea a bad thine
they hound him for years. I will not discuss it." It would
soenf that the Tammany sachem thinks the newspapers
are already "hounding" him, and that he thinks he is do
ing a bad thing.
Looking at the Tacoma papers' advertising columns
convinces one that if no one else struck oil at lenino the
newspapers certainly did. The papers are filled with ad
vertisements of oil stocks. It is with the oil companies a
case of "strike while the iron's hot" or the oil fresh. Each
advertisement solemnly asserts the stocks will be doubled
in a few days, which suggests that it would be a shame to
rob the owners of that 100 per cent profit since they have
held on so long and faithfully.
Governor Blease of South Carolina made 75 prisoners
in the state prison of his state happy and gave them real
grounds for giving thanks by pardoning them. It is stated
lie has pardoned 1110 in the past four years and that there
are now only about 100 in the South Carolina state prison.
How some of the Portland papers would enjoy getting out
an issue in Charleston and expressing an opinion on the
pardoning power generally.

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 27. Governor
George W. 1'. Hunt had reached no de
cision regarding the fate of 11 mur
derers who aro condemned to die nt the
Florence penitentiary December 111.
While he hus definitely abandoned his
proposed object lesson of hanging the
11 siinultnneoualy, it became apparent
today that his bund may be lorced.
The men had been reprieved until le
cenibrr 1ft, nnd, according to unoffi
cial legal opinion they must tiic on
that date unless tho governor extends
the reprieves.
Warden Sims, of the Florence prison,
reaffirmed today his intention of re
signing if he is instructed to hang the
11 men on one gallows. He refused
sternly to permit any one to seek the
opinion ou the proposed hanging bee
of the II punitive principals.
A flood of petitions "and pleas
against the proposed wholesrie execu

YOU CAN'T BRUSH OR
WASH OUT DANDRUFF
The Simplest and Quickest Way
is lo Dissolve It.
The only sure way to tret rid of dand
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces ot ordinary uquid arvon ; apply it
at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and hy morning most
it not all of your dandruff will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy,
every single sign nnd trace of it, no mat
ter how much dandruff you may have.
lou will tind. too, that all itclimrr and
digging of the scalp wilt stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
If you want to preserve your hair, do
try nil means get rid of damlrult, for
nothing destroys the hair more quickly.
it not only starves the hair and makes it
fall out, but it makes it stringy, straaulv.
