AT DEATH'S OPEN DOOR
It was a grisly sort of feast;
that was held the other night.
in the death house "i the Ohi.ij
penitentiary.
The host was John Sabo, i
celebrating his 21>t birthday
by spending his last $30 for a ,
dinner to the five other occu-,
pants of the condemned cells.
The host recently was denied j
a retrial, and will know very |
soon when he is to be e 1 te-,
Irocuted: It is the only uncer-j
tainty that this world no -,
holds for him—the date.
One of the guests was sche-
duled to die Just five days la.-
er. Another was to follow him
to the electric chair two days
after that. The other three
were negroes, all of whom
knew that they had no hope:
of escaping the same fate a
little later on.
Sabo made his $30 go as
far as possible. There was
chicken* sweet potatoes, bis-
cuits, salad, pie a la mode.' a
huge birthday cake .coffee and
cigars. It was a genuine ban-
quet.
But imagine the circum-
stances! The meal was served
in the open corridor into:
which the condemned eel's
open. At the end of the room
was a door leading into th ■
execution chamber—a door
each of the six banqueters
would pass through within a
few weeks. Picture, if you can,
the cheerfulness and ease that
must have surrounded that
festal board.
It was gruesome, of course.
But, after all, the situation of
those six condemned men, en-
joying a feast in the short
time that remained to them,
was not greatly different from
our own. Like them, we are
all condemned to die; only
they know exactly when they
are to go. and we do not.

comes terrifying,
know the date of
our own death and it fails to
alarm us. We do not think
about the matter; and we g<>
along from day to day, really
disbelieving that we shall
ever die.
And, really, we do pretty
well. The race has a number
of very fine achievements to
its credit; bits of poetry and
music, deeds of self-sacrifice
and heroism, patient struggle-
for truth, uncomplaining ac-
ceptances of heavy loads. Jn
our vague denial that we shall
ever die we now and then ac-
complish things that, in sober
truth, will live forever.
It is not true that the pres-
ence of death brings wisdom.
It destroys it. A man who
knows he is soon to die can
think of nothing else. Rut
most of us, to whom that
knowledge is noi present, can
see more clearly. By assuming
that death is remote we
stumble on a great truth-
that it is unimportant. It can-
not stop our slow progress
upward from the dark abyss
that lies back of recorded his-
tory. We triumph over it—
triumph over it by forgetting
it.
It is only under abnormal
circumstances—in a peniten-
tiary death house, for instance
—that death appears real and
terrifying. Most .of the time'
we know that it is only a sha-
dow, a -half-way point be-
«*t«rfiities.

! The religious issue, intermingled
I with the prohibition issue, appears
to have cut the largest figure in
j Oregon. There have been defections
j among Republican men, but Oregon
women are counted on to offset
them. Smith will run stronger in
Washington than in Oregon and the
result there may be close, according
to advices reaching this writer.
Smith is reported likely to carry
San Francisco, but California is ex-
pected to go to Hoover. The south-
ern section is strongest for the Re-
publican candidate.
Idaho progressives have followed
Senator Hornh into the Hoover
■ camp. Democrats there hope to roll
up a large Smith vote, but do not
appear to be confident of victory.
Montana, at last accounts, was
j u ovbodv's state. Montana has two
; Democratic senators, a Democratic
governor and a Republican legisla-
ture. with a Republican record in i
mot presidential years. Senator.
; Tofm Walsh is supporting Smith, bin ,
j th«* efforts of Senator Burton K. !
Wlrreler to put over the national
jdekey are regarded as more effec-
tive. The state probably will be
considered doubtful right up to Nov. ■
ii, but il is o.ie of those which the1
Smith managers often consider in
trying te add up 2fiK electoral votes;
I lot their candidate.

With nearly half the state's popu-

crats would seem to have an advau-j

1818 and Harding and Cooiidge sub-j

The most plausible reports from
Colorado arc that Smith may carry-
Denver and Pueblo, but will be un-
!ablo to win the state.
Both Republicans and Democrats
claim an edge in Arizona and in-
formation here concerning the state
i's fa'' from conclusive.
