ANOTHER NEW PARTY ONCE MORE an American radical party has split on the rocks of Right-Left dissension.

This time it is the Socialists who find a large segment of their party cut off to form a new group. Believing the leadership to be too radical, a fair-sized number of delegates to the Cleveland Socialist convention have walked out and decided to start a party of their own--to be known as the Social Democratic Federation. Such splite have often beset the radical movement in the United States. When the Socialist Party was organized as such in 1901, it confined its activities to political action, and was hence renounced by those Socialists who wanted to work for industrial unionism as well as for political' vic- These formed the Socialist Labor party, which has placed a ticket in every ensuing Presidential campaign. Then something of a split was caused by the I.

W. supported by some Socialists but disavowed by others. The anti-war stand of the Party in 1917 caused the withdrawal of many of its "intellectuals." The Party lost some more of its adherents in 1924, when it endorsed the third-party candidacy of Senator LA FOUJETTE instead of running a separate Socialist candidate. The vote for the Socialist Labor candidate, which had been only 13,000 in 1916, rose to 39,000 in 1924. And the Communist movement took many away from the Socialist lold.

The weakness of the American Socialist party seems particularly glaring at a time like the present, when European Socialists have Just attained power in France, Belgium and Spain. To some extent, at least, this weakness may be attributed to the New Deal, which has won-the allegiance of many Right-wing Socialists to the Democratic party. On the whole, developments at Cleveland -should give comfort to the Roosevelt forces, since a large Socialist vote would take strength away from the President rather than from the Republican candidate. By LESLIE CHARTERIS 1 saw four men die in the electric chair. I wish every young man who has ever felt the lure of easy money could have been with me.

Perhaps if those four had seen such a thing a few years ago, I might not have watched them slouch one by one through the brown door over which is posted the one word Silence, to be jolted into the last silence of all. Four men, young men--the eldest the youngest twenty-two --Charles Kropowitz, George Rosenberg, Frank Russo and Vincent De Martino. These four Brooklyn youths, two years ago, believed that crime could be made to pay. It paid them but they killed Thomas Gaughan and last night they paid off the debit balance. Four lives for one.

They came into the death house in that order--Kropo- witz, Rosenberg, Russo, De Martino. Fifty-seven men saw them--wardens, doctors, official witnesses and reporters. There should have been more. It was not pleasant to watch. Two BORAH TEE PROPHET BECAUSE BE is one of the ablest expounders and defenders of the Consti- ti tion, Mr.

BORAH, as a critic of that venerable instrument, commands, re- spsct and attention. His address last night, however, one not so much in criticism of the Constitution, as of the abuses which its provisions seem to promote and protect. When he said in substance that if Government could not fix prices, or regulate production and competition, such privileges should not be enjoyed by monopolistic interests, it may be confidently assumed that he expressed the sentiment of the people generally. If the highly paid corporation executives who represent commerce and industry are not wise enough to practice self government, with due regard for public welfare, it is certain the public in retaliation will insist on changes or revisions which undoubtedly will seriously restrict the liberties the Constitution now guarantees. An impressive case can be made from the the proposition that the with its provisions concerning interstate commerce, operates one sidediy.

As Mr. BORAH observed there are "no state lines or state rights which monopolists feel bound, morally or in law, to respect. As he also observed, the people of the United States will hot' long tolerate conditions so obviously -If the Republican party cannot find means of remedy, the Senator feels sure men asked to be let out before it was over. Another, his face almost green, wanted to slip out, but he was too far from the door and the warden whispered to him not to watch. Even one of the doctors didn't watch.

He stood with his head bowed, staring at his feet, until it was time to make his examination, in the corner close to me, another man stood with his face to the wall, making queer hiccoughing noises. Kropowitz was first--a thin dark? haired weedy youth. A guard walked on each side of him, holding his arms. He slouched listlessly, as if he was almost too weary to walk those few yards. His salmon face was almost white.

The stub of a cigar hung in the corner of his mouth, and got in the way when they slipped on the chin strap that held the electrode on his head. A priest held a crucifix for him to kiss, and then black mask was placed over his face. This was the dreadful moment. I had drivbn here cheerfully enough, hoping at the back of my mind that I should have the stomach to see it through. Now the time was here.

This was the man, only a little while ago he was walking, thinking, moving perhaps even hoping, as a man must. Now he was going to die. The-executioner stepped back through the door and the other attendants stepped away and for an instant there was indescribable silence, a terrible stillness. Then the switch thudded, the current swiged with a fearful whining buzz through the man in the chair. His body leaped horribly under the contraction of his muscles, the straps around his arms and legs, the broad strap across his chest, held him from plunging cut toward us.

The wind pumped out of his lungs in a long fading whistle. His muscles were locked rigidly, so that I saw the crease of the flesh where the straps were cutting. Saliva drolled down his chin. His hands turned upwards and back, very slowly, from the wrists. There was a crisp, sizzling noise from the electrode below his knee, and a wreath of smoke curled upward in front of him.

An acrid smell stung my nostrils. Is this what was then meant when they talk so lightly and casually about being burned--when they say, "He's going to fry." The switch thudded again, and the body slumped down. The doctors walked out with their stethoscopes. They were very quick. One spoke quietly as AN ARTIST OF THE KETTLES To Mrs.

Everett B. Hawkins of Montgomery, her kitchen is what the laboratory is to the scientist, canvas and paint to the poitraitLst, liis lathe and bench to a master craftsman. It is her metier, this business of cooking. Because she really loves it, she has brought it to a fine perfection over a period of thirty years or so that has won her considerable fame in this county and in national competitions. Also, it has augmented the Hawkins' income by no inconsiderable amount.

Newspaper readers will recall how Mrs. Hawkins won the $100 first prize in. the Culinary Arts Competition of the New York State Women's Clubs' Federation in 1928, kitchen equipment worth in the 1932 International Canning Contest, miscellaneous prizes in the same contest held the following year at the Century of Progress Fair in Chicago and, later in 1933, the title of Best Home Canner in New York State, to name a few of her honorariums. It is not so widely known that she has been making cakes to order, of all sizes and prices, for many years, from ordinary ones for local birthdays to the masterpiece which she created in 1933 for the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the State Grange. Also, last Winter, with the assistance of her husband and a young German farmhand, she turned out 600 pounds of chocolates and bonbons which were sold at the Flower Show in New York.

This last accomplishment was the biggest single effort to which Mrs. Hawkins has yet turned her hand, but she doubts whether she will repeat it, at least until such time as she has more adequate candy-making equipment. As she explained, chocolate is a tricky substance. The air must be just with the temperature and humidity unvarying and exact, or it will gray or fail to set properly. She made her candy in every room of the large Hawkins" farm home last Winter, trying to get ideal conditions, then spoiled many Orange Blossoms GIFT give you my treasure, BnghL-mmleti, new-- your lavishing, Afore than a few.

Spend them, love, spend them-Do not try to hold Against rain-washed tomorrow This gay fairy gold, --Leonore Goldstoff A Horned Toad So long as we can remember Middletown has never had a municipal pet. The community has adopted the belief that, we don't nsed one. Nevertheless. Middletown will have a community pet presently, thanks to the State of Texas and the streamlined press agents of the Texas Centennial celebration. Mayor Charles C.

Chapoell was notified by letter a few days ago that-the Texas Centennial was the ne plus ultra, the piece de' resist-, ince. and the filet migoon, or something, as fairs, expositions, go. If he missed attending It. the letter added, he would weep with regret for the rest of his life--or a day or two. anyway.

And. to prevent him from forgetting the centennial, the I senders of the letter that under separate cover he woul receive a genuine Texas horned toad--just a variation of the tie-a string-around-your-finger stunt. The horned toad, the centennial's letter writer vowed, was ugly but harm less and would make a good pe Furthermore, it can be with impunity. The old legend about toads causing warts the let ter writer said, did not apply the horned variety. The brough good luck.

Moreover, the hornet toad does not need che exacting care squired by so many commoi pets. One cornerstone Eastland. where was Imbedded forty years. When the cornerstone was opened, it hopped oui spry as ever. (But we defy the most durable horned toad in the world to sit through an ERB meeting in our own City Hall without being overcome).

So now Mayor Chappell contemplated establishment of a municipal zoo, with the horned toad for a nucleus. Where to keep the yis- itor from Texas, however, is another question. The mayor has explored all nooks and crannies of the City Hall without success and is MayGod Forbid That We Hive New Graves to Decorate I was mortared In till of the courthouse a they turned away: "This man's dead." They took him out of the chair and laid him on metal table and wheeled him out. His face was waxen, his mouth open and his jaw dropped. His eyes glazed; his lids half closed.

But it was just beginning. They brought in Rosenberg. He walked briskly and firmly. While he was being fastened in, he looked squarely at us and spoke: "I just want to say, Gentlemen, that I hope my sacrifice will help others to profit by my experience." They stepped away from him as he prayed aloud. The switch was thrown and the current choked off the prayer.

And so they went--Kropowitz, Rosenberg, Russo and De Martino; about three minutes for each--twelve minutes to pay for the life of Thomas Gaughan and $70. I am sorry there is only a comparatively small number of men who have seen what I saw. If there is to be capital punishment, if it is to be claimed that the death penalty is a deterrent to crime, everyone should "know exactly what it means. a sample batch. We will attest.

she knows her chocolates for we tried some and they tasted superlative to us. We should add that Mr, Hawkins and her two grown sons, Vernon and Thompson, are her three most ardent boosters. They recount that one of the high moments of their lives was the time they sat before their radio on August third, 1934, and heard Mrs. Hawkins give her first air talk over WGY at Schenectady on the art of farm home-making. Mr.

Hawkins is himself a bit of an artist in landscaping, and says that one of his thwarted ambitions was to have been a nurseryman. Although he has a farm of 110 acres and a big dairy to manage, he has taken time in years past completely to remake the area immediately surrounding their home, so that today it is an effective design of spruce, pine and maples encircling a sweeping lawn, with bushes banked around the house. Mr. Hawkins it was who showed us a few more of his talented wife's craftsmanship--the chaise lounge she made from an old Morris chair, boxes and feed bags, the chocheted bed-spread and huge quilted coverlet, both representing long hours of painstaking skilled needle-work. Mrs.

Hawkins has been active in the Home Bureau since its organization in the county, for she welcomes every opportunity to tell her fellow housewives how she accomplishes her various home-making triumphs. Rather obviously, she has always been somewhat of a teacher's pet with the Home Bureau leaders, for she can do so many things well and, most important of all, does them with enthusiasm. Last Fall, he helped organize the Women's Marke. at Waldcn, one of the few of its kind in the State, where cooked food of every description is contributed by lounty women and sold each Saturday. If you ask her how you go about winning first prizes in canning exhibits and that sort of thing, Mrs.

Hawkins says the three essentials are knowing low to cook properly, having the right dtchen equipment and endless patience. For example, she regularly takes an hour to two hours to pack one jar of peas or raspberries for exhibit, placing now thinking of tethering the gift in Fancher park. Meanwhile the mayor's secretary is reading up on the care and training of horned toads.

They became scared next day, when Henry was absent, and rescinded them. But when copies of his speech reached New York and Boston and were published in newspapers they inspired in other colonial legislatures more radical resolutions than Henry had framed!
