stated in The STAR. are cutting down trees and
removing houses at Rosslyn preparatory to
establishing depot at that place. The track
they propose to lay extends from the south end
Of the Long bridge northerly along the bed Of
the old canal up to the south end Of the Aque-
duct bridge. It is understood that freight will
be brought over the Aqueduct bridge for the
present in wagons. After q while, II is said
the company intends to endeavor to obtain the
right to build bridge across Analostan Island
to Georgetown.
As soon as the work Of putting the under
ground electric system on the Arlington rail-
way Ia completed il is said the question of
extending branch Of the road to Falls Church
and another one to Alexandria will be seriously
considered. The company is circulating petit
tions through the county asking Congress to
allow their cars to cross the river on the piers
Of the Aqueduct bridge.

Capital Punishment.
WILL THE COMING CIVILIZATION ABoL'
ISL TT

There is an increasing demand for
doing away with capital punishment.
The question certainly has two sides
and is entitled to fair and full discus
sion
The barbaric idea of punishment for
vengeance does not find place with en-
lightened and humane people. The
only objects in Furnishing one who vio-
lates law, is to reform him and to deter
others from crime. There can be no
other reason in minds moulded and
influenced by the benign teachings OF
an advancing civilization.
II is usual for men who know little OF
the general trend of Bible teaching
and who practice less Of it, to quote
elibly certain texts that apply, as they
think. to their side Of the question.
These men who are anxious to see men
suffer the extreme penalty OF violated
law will refer you to the old Mosaic
statute, "eye for eye, tooth for tooth,
hand for hand, foot fer foot, burning
for burning, wound for wound, stripe
for stripe.n They never turn to the
New Testament for the Interpretation
of the rigorous laws of the old. The only
instance where a sse was submitted 70
the Savior where the criminal was
charged with a crime that carried death
with the conviction, he convicted She
| witnesses and said gently to the crimi
nal, "Go and sin no more" When peo
p,e refer to the Bible for texts te
| strengthen arguments, they shouio
have the fairness to take its teachlng'
as a whole and not to use special text'
| in distorted way.
The object in Furnishing man is te
reform him and make a better cltlzer
of him. II that cannot be done, theI
let him be separated from society ane
placed where he can do no harm
