women as this

is not without
reason ?
If her system is in a deranged condi

or congestion of any organ, it is at this
time likely to become active and, wttn
a host of nervous irritations, make life
a burden.
i At this time, also, cancersand tumors
nre more liable to begin their destruc-
' tivo work. Such warning symptoms as
a sense of suffocation, hot Hashes, diz

Charles 13. Hughes, speaking before
tho Kthlcal Culture Society recently,
found an admirably torso expression
for the causes of corporate malfeas

attended to or neglected a duty." In
other words, tho responsibility Is al
ways personal. To attack the corpora

i nfllxed in the (Congressional Library,

j puhlle buildings noted for their adorn
' ment. They represent tho opening of
i the I'tie canal In October, ISL'H, and
the meeting of tho waters of tho hikes
with the ocean, a ceremony which con
cluded tho opening celebration. A small
barrel of the water of Lake I3rlo was
taken from the canal and carried down
the Hudson and out Into the harbor,
where It was emptied Into the ocean by
DeWItt Clinton, Governor of the State,
to whose efforts the construction of the
canal was largely due. Pottles of water
from the Thames, the lthlne, the Seine
and other noted rivers wore also pour
ed into the ocean at the same time.
The convention oi' chiefs of police at
Hot Springs expressed the wish that
the law would establish the death pen-;
alty for burglars who carry deadlyj
weapons with them and that it wouh?,
restore tlio whipping post for wife beat-!
ers and minor offenders against ehll-s
dren. Chief Collins of Chicago heartily
Indorses both these suggestions, and
from tho policeman's point of view he
makes a good argument for them. Put
he does not state the whole case by
any means. Take burglary with deadly
weapons. That the burglar has murder
in his heart, or, more properly, that he
reckons with possible murder as one of
the details In his business, Is perfectly
clear. That he might le properly pun
ished as a murderer Is also manifest.
That such punishment, strictly enforc
ed, would make life much safer for city
residents yo may well believe. Hut
against all this there is a practical
certainty that the death penalty will
not lie established for such a crime. Tho
tendency Is away from hanging, not
toward it. Only a riot of crime, duo
to some great loosening of the social
bonds, will restore It. And there is no
reason to expect that tho case will be
come so bad as that. Instead of rec
ommending greater severity of punish
ments, the police would do well to urge
greater discrimination. They would do
well to emphasize professional crime oh
needing special treatment for the pro
tection of society. Our laws make prac
tically no distinction at all between tho
professional criminal and the chanco
criminal or first offender. Tho board
of pardons will turn a professional
loose under the Indeterminate .sentence
law us readily as any other convict.
It should not have such power. If pen
alties were mild for first offenses and
pardons ready; If every criminal on
his second conviction should be sub
jected to an Investigation as to whoth"r
or not he had adopted crime as Ids llf-
business, and If all those found to bo
professionals should bo so treated as to
keep them permanently from their
trade, with an ultimate possibility of
segregation for life, our criminal sys
tem would bo not nearly so Ineffective
as It Is at present. As for tho whip
ping post for wife boaters, there Is good
psychological basis for believing that
It is the kind of penalty that llts tho
crime. Put recent attempts to Intro
duce It have shown that it is certain
to be cried down as a species of barbar
ism which canuot be seriously consid
ered In this age. Tho police chiefs
must seek some other cure for this of
fense. All 5ono.
