The election at Paxiuoa North umber la ml county was peculiar in the extreme as the voters had hut one privHege, that of voting for all Democrats. Some time ago several of the vot ers called upon the committeeman of tli,) Republican party and inform ed him that it was about time to hold the party primaries. That oHicial stated lie would issue a call within a few days but in the mean time was occupied with business plans and the matter entirely slipped his memory until it was too late to hold primaries and the Demo crats had the smoothest kind of sail ing. Governor Penny packer signed the bill which iixen a penalty of •MO or ten days imprisonment for throwing waste paper, sweepings, ashes, household waste, nails or rubbish of any kind into the streets of cities, boroughs or townships, or for disturbing the contents of any receptable placed upon the street for collection of such sweep ings." It is a law and should be enforced. It has been noticed in several places on our streets where ashes have been thrown, in a way that does not look well, and it is hoped that the attention of our town peo ple has not been called in vain to this important matter.

"Sin and .Society'' (Houghton, Mifflin »fc Co., Boston), is a volume of essay* by Kdwurd A. Roth Prof, of sociology in the University of Wis consin, who attempts "an analysis of later day inquory." The essays are preceded by a letter from President liiVosevelt, whose attention was call ed by Justice Holmes to "Social control," another hook by the same writer, and has since read these essays on their occasional publi cation. Says President Roosevelt: "You define 'sin' as conduct that harms another, in contradistinction to 'vice.' by which we mean prac tices that harm one's self; and you attack as they should be attacked the men who at the present day do more harm to the body, politic by their siding than all others.* i; * Vou war against the vast iniquities in modern business, finance, politics, journal ism, due to the ineffectiveness of public opinion in coping with the dominant types of wrong doing in a huge rich highly complex industrial civilization." President Roosevelt and the author realize that the worst evils we have to combat have in. evitably evolved along with the evo lution of society itself, and that the perspective of conduct must chahge from age to age, so that our mora] judgement may he recast in order more effectively to hold to account the really dangerous foe of our pres ent civilization. The six essays deal with "ne.v varieties of sin" due to our modern business and indus trial organizations; "the grading of sinners," arguing that they should be punished, acording to their deeds rather than acording to their charac ter; the "criminaloid," by which the author designates "such as prosper by flagitious practices which have not yet come unikr the effective banda of public opinion," though they may be guilty in the eyes of the law; "the grilling of sinners;" "corporate sinning by syndicate," and the rules of the game. A STRANGE SENTENCE. Punishment For Murder That Wil More Cruel Than Death. In 1801 a man died in the ('ntskllls who had lieen condemned by one of the strangest sentences on record. Ralph Sutherland was born In 1701 and lived In a stone house near Leeds. He was n man of violent temper and mo rose disposition, shunned by liis neigh bors nnd generally disliked. Not be iug able to get ail American servant, be imported a Scotchwoman, and, ac cording to the usages of the times, vir tually held her in bondage until her passage money had been refunded. Pliable to endure any longer the raging temper of her master, the girl ran away. Immediately upon discov ering her absence the man set off In an angry clmse upon his liorxe and soon overtook her. The poor woman never reached the house alive, and Sutherland was Indicted and arrested on the charge of murder. At the trial he tried to prove that his horse had taken fright, run away, pitched him out of the saddle and dashed the girl to death upon the rocks, but the Jury did not accept the defense, and Sutherland was sentenced to die upon the scaffold. Then came the plea of the Insuffi ciency of circumstantial evidence nnd the efforts of influential relatives. These so worked upon the court that the judge delayed the sentence of death until the prisoner should be ninety-nine years old. It was ordered that the culprit should be released on Ills own recog nizance and that, pending the final ex ecution of his sentence, he should keep a hangman's noose about his neck and show himself before the Judges of Catsklli once a year to prove that he wore his badge of Infamy and kept Ills crime in mind. It was a more cruel decision than the sentence of Im mediate death would have been, but It was uo doubt In harmony with the spirit of the times. Thus Ralph Sutherland lived. He al ways lived alone. He seldom spoke. His rough. Imperious manner had gone. Years followed years. At each session of the court the broken man came Itefore the bar of Justice and si lently showed the noose that circled his neck. At last bis ninety-ninth year came, t'yo time when the court had ordered • most penalty of the law 112 xedited. For the last time *'e > Ktered before the judge's of. new Judges had arisen in the vw laws had been n- •. oNI crimes had been forgotten <■ and there was none who v. him or execute sentence awful restriction that hi: life so Intimately to the <• i ot his crime was now legally rei. , ed. But the spirit of self punishment continued, and when Sutherland, after he had passed his hundredth year, was discovered dead, alone In his house, his throat was found to !>e encircled by the rope which had been placed there nearly three-quarters of a century be Primary Ele -tior ?T t nr.
