Michigan, he took active part in bust
ness, became proprietor of drug store
and moved in good society.
The father died under very suspicious
circumstances, but the son was not sus-
pected. When, however, he shot his
mother and then beat her to death, the
fathers untinely end was attributed to
him. He had carefully prepared an alibi
to escape the consequences of the murder
of his mother, butt did not work.
He was convicted ard sentenced to i'm
prisonment for life because there was no
legal hanging in Michigan. While in
prison he was allowed to set up small
drug store. as it were, doctored his fellow
prisoners and at last dosed two of the
guards with prussic acid. one OF whom
died, aud he made his escape. He was
captured, however, and was returned to
prison and placed IN solitary confne-
ment.
Passing by all consideration OF the lax
manner of conducting the Michigan peni-
Tertiary, what adequate punishment is
there for the crimes of LATIMER? He
cannot be imprisoned any longer
than for life. What, then, is the
penalty for the murder of the guard?
None at all. 1t may be said if
he was executed for one of the murders
there would be no penalty for the others,
which is true. But in this case he would
not have committed the last if he had
been hung for the first, and man can
make no more atonement than yield his
life, no matter how many crimes he may
commit.
This maudlin sentimentality towards
criminals which loads murderer with
flowers and causes beauty to smile upon
him and cheer him in his deserved
troubles, receives its full expression in
Withholding the death penalty for de-
liberate assassin. For such creatures as
LATIMER, no matter how he may be
viewed, there is no adequate penalty but
death, and society is not safe while such
beings are permitted to live. We do not
advocate indiscriminate killing for I'M
lawful homicide, but believe that the
death penalty is needful so as to be pos
slble for the worst class of wilful murder

The Death Penalty.

The case OF r. IRVING LATIMER, who
murdered his mother in Michigan, is sus-
pected of poisoning his father, and has
killed one guard in the state prison and
nearly done for another, has brought up
for discussion once more the question of
capital punishment.
The sentiment OF the age tends toward
compassion instead of cruelty to criminals.
The idea of vengeance, which used to
prevail in reference TO crime, is now en-
tertained chiefly by mobs and individuals
incensed against persons accused OF out
rageous and extraordinary offences. The
law contemplates retribution rather than
revenge, and that is melted out as neces-
sary both to the protection of society and,
where possible, the reformation of the
offender. Penalties, therefore, have been
greatly modified OF late years, and some
times it appears as though lthey would be
abolished # extremists had their way.
Killing for murder seems to a great
many thoughtful people repetition OF
crime. They take the ground that the
law ought not to do that which it con-
dennis in man. They think all punish
ment should be reformatory, and you
can reform man after hanging him.
They say killing human being is the
worst use you can put him to-
Others fall back on the divine law. or
the injunction of the Bible, whose she'd
deth mans blood of him shall mans
blood be shed. And those who do not
care much for antiquity contend that
there is no penalty adequate to capital
crime except capital punishment A be-
ing who kills another, they think, is not
fit to live, and the law is justified in tax
ing his life to protect other people and tc
vindicats the expressed will of the people
as formulated by statute. The idea that
law may not take life because an individ-
ual may not, is answered by the fact that
law may imprison people, compel them to
pay money and do many other things
that private person may not perform.
Several states have tried the abolition
of the death penalty with more or les
success and failure, some experiments ap-
pearing successful aud others showing a
decided failure resulting in return to the
old plan. Michigan, where LATlMER is
held in custody, has no death penalty.
That is what has occasioned renewed de-
bate on this question.
LATIMER was of respectable parents and
good education, as the term is con1rnonlv
used. His father was a Rhode Island
manufacturer. The son graduated from
a High school in New England, was
religiously reared and when his father
failed in business and moved to Jackson.

4 CANTON ReDeated,

THE HERALD reneWs its caution to con-
ference and dedication visitors and also
people in this city who attend those SER
vices, to beware of thieves and burglars.
If some folks who now bewail the loss of
valuables had taken heed to the advice of
this paper they might now be safe from
the losses they have incurred.
Chief PAUL has increased his police
force with commendable activity. But
this will only accomplish little in the
desired direction. People must take
measures to protect themselves and their
homes. The officers cannot be ubiquitous.
They will do what they can but must not
be expected to do impossibilities. While
in crowd everybody will have to take
care of their own pockets, and houses
should not be vacated and left prey to
robbers.
Already some burglaries have been
committed, and people coming out of the
tabernacle yesterday morning had their
pockets picked, much to their astonish-
ment as well as chagrin. There are some
experienced crooks in town on their way
to Chicago. The local scamps too are on
the qai rite, but they are pretty well known
to the police and they will be watched.
Extra precautions ought to be taken at
night in securing doors and windows,
and as visitors staying with friends may
be out at night, care ought to be taken
that egress shall not be as easy for
thieves as the visitors.
Ladies should not carry money or valu-
ables in hand bags which can be cut off
or snatched away. Nobody should fol-
low strangers into strange places
Watches and pockets should be guarded
in crowd, whether inside or outside of a
building. And any case of ROBBERY should
be at once reported to the police with all
the particulars that can be given. Look
out for thieves!

MIR. HoAR is right. The election of
Senator'S by direct vote of the people
would essentially change the character of
the Senate, and the people want that
nightly. The United States Senate of
late years has failed TO meet the just ex-
pectations of the soyereigns of the land.
Elections for membership have given rise
to the greatest scandals, and it has come
to be fact that only millionaires, or men
who hold influence by their connection
with large corporations, can hope to OBJ
tain seats in the upper house of Congress.
The country wants reform. 1t wants to
see rich nonentities put in the back
ground, and the best talent and genius of
the land transferred to the highest parlia-
mentary body in the world.

The APPOINTMENT of Colonel JAMES o,
BRoADHEAD, of Missouri, as minister to
Switzerland is scarcely full recognition
of the merits of such man, but is graft
flying as a testimonial to his entire worth
mess as representative of the American
character at one of the most cultured for
eign capitals. Colonel BRoADHEAD was
a commissioner, in 1885. to France, to in
vestigate aud report to the State depart
ment on the Spoliation claims He has
also been a representative in Congress,
president of the American Bar associa-
ton, etc. AS n lawyer, he was employed
at Salt Lake in some of the Church cases,
and is pleasantly rendered by many Of
our citizens.

An Unworthy InSinuation.
erg.

A country contemporary descants upon
the bounty system in connection with
beet culture for sugar making, and init
mates that the subject is disagreeable
one to certain Democrats, because they
did not support the bounty movement in
the last territorial legislature.
We have to say that the Democrats of
Utah are as much in favor of sugar pro-
duction from home grown beets as any
Republican can be. We think there is as
much money invested in the industry
here by Democrats as by any other class
of politicians. And they are willing to
pursue the industry without any special
aid from the pockets of the taxpayers.
There are two sides to the bounty ques-
ton, and we ara of the opinion that the
Democratic position will stand the test of
logic and law.
There may be circumstances which rem
der the appropriation of public funds to
aid an enterprise that is OF private ma
ture, but as rule it is not right. Taxes
are levied and collected for public pur
poses. and it follows that they must be
appropriated for such purposes only.
Usually, when bounties and bonuses
are given it is to capitalists and not to the
producers and toilers. The sugar bounty
is not to the beet growers, but to the
manufacturers. OF course, it may be
argued that the farmer gets his benefit by
a good price for his beets. But watch
and see whether he gets any more for
them than he can raise them for, under
any circumstances. He gets as low a
figure as possible, bounty or no bounty
to the manufacturer.
In some places the bounty is divided
between the sugar makers and the beet
growers. That is more equitable. But
the principle is wrong, and is justified, if
at all, by some special and peculiar cir
cumstances. The only safe, consistent
and constitutional rule is to expend pub
lie moneys for public purposes only.
When that is not maintained The true OBJ
iect of government and the collection of
taxes is departed from, and the way is
opes to extravaganza, corruption and
public debts.
AS to sugar making or any other branch
of industry, it is an attempt at deception
when an insinuation or charge is made
that Democrats are opposed to them. It
is unworthy of any respectable newspaper.
