MOSS COULDN'T SAVE WEST

full in all its aspects. He expressed the
hope that nothing would be left undonc to
make perfect the most beautiful city in the
world.
Noteworthy also was Mr.. Grosvenar's
reference to the proposed free publiclibrary.
He pointed out the fact, which ought to be
patent to any one giving the matter even
u moments thought, that, as Washington is
the Mecca toward which, at some period in
his life the feet of every American turn,
and as. furthermore, it is the residence, for
years at Il time, of thousands OF men from
every part of the Union, the people of all
the States would reap the benefit of the
library, and are interested i'll making it as
complete as possible. He even intimated
that the people everywhere should con-
tribute to the shelves of the library and
take Il pride in making it as complete and
useful as possible.
This libera!ity OF spirit is in striking
contrast with the narrowncss that charac-
tcrizcd the action of the House relative to
the free public library bill. II rccog-
nizcs the fact that the people OF the Dis
trict ask Congress to do only that to which,
under its self-assumcd contract with them,
it has pledged the goyernme pay one
half of the expenses OF the District, and
under that head.

Reducing Capital Crimes.

mcdiacval array Of judicial death produc.
crs, and til. list OF crimes for which a
man may forfeit his life is very much
leSscncd.
Still enough OF these are left to make a
further reduction desirable. and for This
reason. and as AN example for the different
States. and for other nations, the passage
Ut the House hill is desirable. 1t is doubtful,
indeed, If the death penalty has really the
deterrent effect upon criminals which its
advocates ascribc To il. On the contrary
i, is believed that in proportion, as the adj
niinistration OF justice has become less
barbdrous, and the infliction of the death
penalty less frequent and less brutal, the
class OF crimes for which IL was dccreed
has diminished In number. and, therefore,
advanced thinkers are coming TO the cunciu-
sion that society can resort to more effective
means for protecting itself against the Law
breaker than hy making corpse OF him.
The more the imposition of the death
penalty is leSscncd, both in kind or de-
gree. the more quickly Will the way he
paved for the total aboiI ion Of capital pun
isimcnt. and society find it un necessary to
bring itself down to the level of the in
