The election at Paxiuoa North

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

Governor Penny packer signed

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

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
