improvements would have been under

satisfaction in the thought that such

done without increasing the danger t,
.ciety at the hand.s of the criminal
elennnt. It the innrdrrers make the
first move towards the change. They
are the ones who have cause to fear.
It is to their interests that capital
punishment be abolished. If they are
not willing n work for their own in
terests they cannot rxpeet others to
do it. The man who has no tendency
to commit murder has no fear of cap
ital punishment as a system of prt
teciing society. This is the man for
whore protection the law was made.
The murderer himself deserve no
protection, and has no right to ask
for it. lie is an enemy to s.iciety aa.,1

ABOLISH MURDER FIRST.
The days are growing appreciably
shorter and the same may be said oi
the pocket book of pater families
whose family is enjoying the fine air
of the sea shore or the fresh breezes
of the mountains while the former is
holding down the lid at home.
Why should Johunu Hoch be grant
ed an appeal on some technicality?
After riiarrying a score or more ol
women, cheating them out of their
money and deserting them and mur
dering at. least one of them, he was
found guilty and sentenced to death.
If this scoundrel and mutilerer had
beta guilty of similar offences In Eng
land or some other law-abiding conn
try where punishment to fit the crime
Is given he would have been executed
long ago.
A very sensible suggestion is ma.le
by thtt Pittsburg Gazette, which says:
"Every one would be glad to see
thp death permit y abolished, but mur
der must bi aool who' ?.-t. Ve -"c

our guns and break our swords before
he api and tiger tile, or the battle
may have to lie all fought over again."
The leaal execution of a person is
one of the saddest necessities of socie
ty. Th3 d'slressing aspects of tMJ
system of punishment are, indeed, ex
ceeded only by illegal execution, or
hat barrier to 'the progress of moral,
intellectual and material growth, that
enemy to progress and stumbling
block to a high standard of civiliza
tion, 1 netting, which is but an open
x-KPf-slon of anarchy. Everybody
regrets to read of a legal - hang'ng.
Everybody deplores the n?d for tlvs

But if capital punishment Is to he
ibolished let the criminal element of
soci;ty do it. If men will stop mur
dering their fellow meti capital .'pun
ishment can safely be abolished..' But
tnt'r that advancement is mad in the

The Board of County Commission
ers, acting as the Board of Review,
are engaged in an undertaking which
signalizes that body as differing radic
ally from any of its predecessors in
office. It is safe to say that many
times the number of citizens have
been summoned before the reviewers
this year to show sause why their
assessments should not be rabed than
have probably enjoyed the same ex
perience for the past ten years com
bined. Men who live in palatial
homes with elaborate furnishings and
report iheir net personal worth as
but several hundred dollars have been
asked questions which it has been
rather difficult to answer. Some of
the replies have been amusing enough
but the popular explanation is found in
the fact that '"the others" have always
done the same thing.
Now this is not strictly the case, or
at least not entirely so. As a commit
nity Cairo will probably average up
pretty well with the balance of the
world and in consi.viuenie there are
more than a few of its citizens who
ilo not consider what "the others"
may have done as sufficient reason
for. to put it perhaps more uiild'.y
than It dtserves, a lapse of memory
annually when the assessment
schedules are made out. There are
many men, and some of them ru-ide
right here in the city, who take tln.tr
oath or their signed statement ser
iously enough to consider it. as inde
pendent ot what their neighbors, in
timate friends or "the others" gener
ally may have had to say on the same
subject. . . .. .
As far as The Bulletin knows the
Hoard f Review is considering the
matter from a fair and imparial
standpoint and yet with regard to a
practice of long standing ami such
exctisrs as might be made for it. At
the same time the Impression is gen
erally gaining ground that, the City

LUMBER GRADES.
The Department of Agriculture-, at
Washington, sends out the following
press publication on the subject ot
lumber grades and the importance of
their uniformity which may he of in
terest to Cairo lumbermen:
A subject of increasing importitnee
to every lumber producer ami con
sumer is that of grades. That these
grades should be uniform where prac
tical is well recognized and many
efforts to arrive at some general rules
have been mr.de. In view of these
movements to standardize grades, the
Forest Service has undertaken to
bring . t: gether the rpeeifictitions of
the various lumber and manufactur
ers associations and to put them in
such a form that they may be com
pared. . .
The object of the study is not to
devise a system of standard grades
but to make, simply, such a compila
tion of the grades now in use as will
be of service - to lumber producers
consumers, though it is hoped that a
great deal of information may lie ac
cumulatffi that will be of value in

TWO YEARS' PROGRESS.
Th Bulletin commenceg this month
the third year under its present man
It is well under-1
stood that there is a large and appar-,
enlly increasing class who are crim
inally Incl'ned, No small proportion
of these has little or no moral scruples.
They care nothing for the rights of
others. To them the law is simply
an obstruction, according as it is en
forced, to their criminal Intents. They
are restrained from murder solely by
tha fear; of punishment. If capital
pun'shment is abolished the result
would be a large Increase In the num
ber of murders.
To this class of people the abolition
of capital punishment especially ap
peals, If they would see the present
system of punishment abandoned let
them pave the way for it by refraining
from the commission of crime. The
law ate, or should be, made for tiie
protection of the innocent, not the
guilty. It is of vastly more impor
tance to abolish murder then capital
punishment, ami until the former is
abolished criminal conditions in this
country make It utterly unsafe to abol
ish the latter,
The alarming number- of murders
committed In this country every year
Is chiefly due to the small proportion
of legal executions. Where there is a
disease there must be a remedy, or

remedy for murder la prompt and cer

those concered partly by Interview's
and largely by correspondence, A rep

endeavor to visit the secretaries and
members of grading bureaus of vari
ous associations and learn their views
in regard to the practical workings of
the various rules. A large number
of mill men and manufacturers will
be reached by correspondence and
their views sought. It is especially
desired to find the important points of
difference in grades from the view
points of both producer and consum
er of lumber, and also to ascertain
the chief difficulties in the way of de
vising and executing a system of
standard grades.
The assistance of manufacturers
