The case is one of rare Interest, In
iat it Involved the guilt ot a woman
ad the infliction of the severest pun-
hment. If our laws are made for
i«>n and women there seems to be
little excuse for the verdicts of juries
to be overridden by such processes as
this. If Mrs. Vinson should not have
hung, she should hare had a Jury say
so. and not a Judge, although the Judge
was probably acting within his full
rights under our law, when he sen
tenced her.
The sentimentality that evolves
from all cases where murderers are
convicted and sentenced to bang,
makes us think that people in reality
are against capital punishment. I
they are it Is high time they had thi
law changed, instead ot changing its
application to the Individual as might
suit their tastes or sentiments. If the
law is good It ought to stand and be
enforced at the will of the Jury. If it
is not to be applied to till cases be
cause of some sentimental reason, it
ought to be repealed and let the law
determine the fate of the prisoner
rather than sentitnenr. and things of
that character.

Most any man can be an editor. All
the editor has to do is sit at a desk
six days in the week, four weeks In
month, and twelvemonths in a year,
and edit such stuff as this:

headed for success.
