WASHINGTON, Jan. T. Another
brief session of the House was held
today at which the only important
business transacted was the admission
of the new member from the new state

of a resolution calling upon the attor-

ing the enforcement of the antitrust

legislation on the subject and on the

concerning the seal fisheries of Bering

There is at present a bill pending in
the United States senate abolishine
capital punishment under the civil
law and it should certainly receive the
vote of every member of that august
body, as the best evidence that could
possibly be furnished that the death
penalty is not a deterrent of crime, is
the record of the United States dis.
trict court for the western district of
Arkansas, located at Fort Smith. This
court formerly took ~cognizance of
crimes committed in certain portions Of
the Indian Territory, and over seventy
men have been executed in the jail at
that place, yet at the last session of
the court more men were arraigned
for capital offenses than at any prior
session. The gravest objection to the
death penalty, excluding the question
of the right of any society, state or ma
ton to deprive human being of his
life, is that it causes it to be valued
lightly even in judicial circles, and
that such is the case is proven by the
fact that quite number of the men
executed had at one time been officers
of the court and that the executive of
the United States in granting an ap-
plication for a communication of sen.
tence severely scored the Judge and
other officials of the court for their
callousness in regard to the sanctity of
human life. If such, then, is the effect
on the Judiciary and executive officers.
would not the harmful influences on
the community where such scenes are
enacted be sufficient reason for the re-
peal of the death penalty?

ABOLISH THE DEATH
PENALTY.

The United States is deemed the
world over as the most enlightened,
the freest and most progressive ma
ton on the globe, yet there is no coun-
try where the list of crimes upon which
the death penalty is imposed is as
large as ours. In the naval code twen-
ty-two offenses Of this kind are found.
twenty-five in the military regulations,
and seventeenunder the civil law. max
ing total of sixty-two capital crimes.
We are apt to consider Russia a half
civilized nation, but for the past one
hundred and fifty years the only CAPT.
tai offense in that country has been
treason, and in China only eleven
crimes are considered grave enough
to warrant the taking of life. Both in
Europe and America quite a number
of countries have entirely abolished
the death penalty and statistics have
demonstrated that no increase in social
crimes have followed it's abolition.

RECKLESS SHOOTING

The reckless use of firearms in the
hands of officers of the law ought te
be checked if the warnings conveyed
by two recent occurrences in neighbor
ing states count for anything. A short
time ago man travelling across Iowa
in company with his wife became in
sane and fell from or jumped from the
platform of the train. His mania took
the form of fear that he was being
pursued by enemies seeking his life
and when he made show of resistance
to capture, an excited constable shot
him down like dog. No investiga-
ton of the affair was made, but the
doubly stricken wife carried a corpse
home instead of the husband whom
she was taking east for treatment in
the hope of curing him of his malady.
An almost identical case is reported
recently from Wisconsin where an es-
capped inmate from an insane asylum.
possessed of similar fear that his life
was in danger was mistaken for GER
tain fugitive from justice and because
he would not surrender without a
struggle he, too, was shot down bv an
other officious country officer. Luckily
his wounds will not prove fatal. but
this does not relieve the authorities
from the obligation of investigating
the case. No mans life is safe from
these rattleheaded petty police officers
in country districts and an example
should be made of some of them before
any more innocent lives are sacrificed.
Tribune.
1t is not only in country districts
that such needless shooting is INDUCED
in by over-zealous officers. There is
no large city in the country where it
is not Of frequent occurrence, and at
the present time over a score of police
men are on the suspended list in the
city of Chicago for this very offense.
1t is too often the case that when such
men are invested with little brief au-
thority they act in a more arbitrary
