Comentming on the efforts of the
club women of this state to secure the
pardon of Dolly Pritchard, the North
Georgia muderess, and similar at
tempts that are being made elsewhere,
the Greenville. (S. C.,) News observes:
“These three cases illustrate one or
two prevalent evils. One undoubted
ly is. that there are numbers of people,
we shall not say whether mostly men
or women, who have nothing to do and
seek some kind of' excitement and no
toriety by meddling in affairs that
would be better left to take their pre
scribed course. In a civilized and well
governed country like this ample means
are provided for looking after the wel
fare of criminals and seeing that while
they suffer the penalty of wrong-doing
they shall not be treated inhumanely
Laws are not cruel. They are some
times hard on the wrong-doer, as they
ought to be and must be if society is
to be preserved. The way of the trans
gressor is hard, and ought to be. 1t is
far better teat one guilty person should
suffer the extreme penalty of the law
than that ninety and nine others yet
innocent should be led to presume upon
a pitying public and induced to com
mit erime in the hope of escaping their
just deserts.”’
The club women are very inconsis
tent. They are eternally insisting that
women be placed upon epuality with
men, that she be allowed the privilege
of that sex; but at the same time, as
this case shows, they are unwilling that
she should be held responsible for the
commission of those acts for which men
ard punished. This is absurd. If a
~woman unsexes herself by acting the
‘man, or hy committing any other crime
almost if not quite as bad, she should
not be allowed to shelter herself behind
her physical sex. There is too much
maudlin sympathy in the South for
female eriminals. A crime committed
by a woman is as heinous as one perpe
trated by a man, and the woman who
is not punished for her misdeeds, en
courages to the same extent as the un
punished male eriminal, others to fol
low her example. “Chivalry” is all
very well in its place,but is misdirected
when the object upon which it is be
| stowed is unworthy.>
l There is little doubt but that the es
cape from the gallows through ‘““chiv
alrous motives of the Nobles hag and
her partner in guilt, Fambles, is re

| to this oceurred some time agoin New
York, and Governor Roosevelt was

The Methodists, Baptists and Presby

exercises, the objeet being to promote

This is an illustration of the practica
bility of church federation. Organie
union among the evangeliea) churches
is both impossible and undesirable, but
we have in federation everything nec
essary to conduce to christian fellow
ship and to advance the eause of relig
ion. Church federation, in some res
pects resembling organic wunion, is un
accomplished fact in England, the com
bined membership of all the churches
represented therein being greater than
that of the established c¢hurch,
This is the spirit of the age, and it is
ultimately destined to dominate the
world. Even the Roman Catholie
chureh, which is the meost pronounced
in its exelusiveness and which is sup
posed to have the strongest. hold upon
its adherents is losing its grip. During
the last three years more than three
hundred of its priests in France have
left that church and united with the
Huguenot, Reformed or Preshyterian
church of that country. Up to the
present time forty of them have been
received into the ministry of the Re
formed church. A home for the other
has been established at Sevres. Some
times all the inhabitants of a village
will go over to the Reformed church in
abody. All of which proves thatfno
one churzh can proceed upon the prin
ciple that it has all the religion in the
religion in the world.
