In the Snyder murder case there is something more important than a horrible story, with its sash weight, picture wire, chloroform and unlimit- ed bootleg whiskey. The strange thing is the eagerness expressed by many women and men that the convicted woman and man should, without fail, die in the electric chair. Some appar- antly consider the approaching execu- tions as a sort of victory for them- selves. What god will these executions do? They will add one more horror to a horrible crime. Is it desirable, in the name of Justice, that a woman, scre- aming and struggling, be strapped in the electric chair, put to death by a combination of law and science? How much beter is a legal killing in cold blood than a private killing done in the heat of alcohol and bestiality? Jus- tice must forego killing in the name of civilization before it can expect crim- nals to give up killing in the name of hatred, cupdity and vice. YOUR SUPPORT OF BASEBALL. The Paton Baseball team has once more organized for a season of activ- ity, and the progress they make will, of course, depend to a great extent, upon the support they receive from the baseball lovers of Patton. Last year scores—even hundreds—were cheap enough to watch games played at home without thought of paying for their entertainment. They deliber- ately refused to do so in many instan- ces. Legally, of course, the ball team could not enforce payment, but moral- ly every last person who infringed at the games by their unpaid presence, is in debt to the team. It surely is very small potatoes when adult spectators will travel quite a distance to see a god game of ball, but are too selfish to pay for the privilege. They are the worst handicap godd clean sports have. They tug and pull at the shirt- tails of the home team in their effort to disrupt them. Their rooting for the Patton baseball club, amounts to noth- ing but hoots. Be a good sport. Not a chep skate! wo —e Quite a number of our subseribers are in arrears to the Courier on sub- scription account.

These two motives, therefore,, cause car owners to survey their machines periodically. “However, there is a lack of inter- est with respect to their own bodies.
