LIFE IMPRISONMENT PICTURED MORE TERRIBLE THAN DEATH Judge Marcus Kavanaugh, of Chicago, considers life imprisonment more terrible punishment than hanging. Some days ago in sentencing a white murderer named Welcome to spend his remaining days in the Illinois penitentiary, Judge Kavanaugh contrasted death with the tortured soul of a life convict i?i his solitary cell, and told the prisoner that it is not correct to regard the death penalty as the most punishment that can be inflicted. "The instinctive unreasoning horror of mankind regards the death sentence as a severe punishment," said Judge Kavanaugh. "This idea is not trup You are now to receive p sterner punishment. Your victim died but once. You will die a hundred times; you will suffer more the day you put on your prison clothes than she did in her death. After that there will be only the hopeless, painful years from day to day, from month to month, stretching out forever and in agony. "In four oi* five years the eternal solitude and silence will begin to crush in upon you like an iron weight. You hear that street car bell ringing in the street as it passes now. You will remember it in after years as the mist exquisite music. It will mean hurrying crowds that go where they will and do as they please; it will mean the greatest of all pleasures ?freedom. You can only dream of it by day and by night, and your dream will be torture unspeakable." The Japanese Way. Formosa is an island off the cost of China, but now owned by Japan, which is applying there the Japanese way. The interesting thing about Formosa is not its peaceful, rice-growing tame lowlands, but a score of volcanic j mountains 4,000 feet high inhabited by dwarf aboriginees. TU/,,. ni.n 1- "A i uc,v <tic icw nut over ^U|UUU 1 but they have bought Mausers. They are just the color of the gray volcanic soil and they wholly refuse to accept the tax gatherer of Japanese rule. Fierce, active, able to climb anywhere, good shots, having no wants and few virtues but courage, they hold their mountain valleys against all comers. So Japan has begun the task of conquest. The Japanese forces have brought 300 miles of barbed wire fencing, fenced in the territory in a great loop from coast to coast, set up dynamos, worked them with water power from the streams and charged the whole 300 miles so it is death to the touch. Around this is the Japanese force, with mountain howitzers and Catlings. Each day a section of barbed wire is moved inward, the jungle well searched, the natives gathered in and a junction made with the dynamos. The next day the electric cage moves again. This is to go on week by week until these aboriginees are driven into the sea or surrender. It is the simple, efficient Japanese way. It is sixteen years since Japan acquired Formosa from China.
