JUSTICE IN HANGING.
Rev. c. G. Bear Shows Why Capital
Punishment Is Needed.

To the Editor Of the Rehector
The soft sort Of sentimentality
which is taking root, that capital pun
ishment ought to be abolished mas
not the best influence. Indeed the
very purpose this sentiment has IN
view is thwarted by its blind mistake
Ii all the subjects in Christian state
were Christians, that is, observers OF
all the Christian code Of morals, cap
ital punishment for treason or MUIR
der would be abolished as there would
be no occasion for its use. The peo-
ple even Of the United States are not
all Of this ideal moral eXcellency. 1t
is not necessary to 60 far to llnd
specimen Of the british class. Beings
devoid Of moral sense must be reached
through the kind Of sense they 90
have. This is the wisdom OF ideal
government. Men who have little
else than brute sense must be dealt
with after the manner of their sense.
Crime is not educated out Of a race in
a single generation. Preserving the
life Of a criminal is prolonging crime.
The most enduring effect OF capital
punishment is the obstruction OF
criminal blood. A criminal race or
tribe is subject to the same general
law and civilization must destroy
savagery even if some Of the savages
be killed. The process must be right
or this world was made wrong. Only
the pessimist or fool can thus charge
the Creator.
So a state should not become so
over-conscientious on the side Of pre-
serving the human life Of a miserable
criminal as to forget the moral good
of the people or the character Of her
future citizen, 1t is just as sane to
talk of letting weeds choke the gar
den and sap its soil as to let the mur-
derer remain to corrupt Others and
propagate his species.
Lynching is wrong in principle and
practice. 1t is insubordination to
authority Of law. Every lynching
party is a little rebellion 1t ought
to be stopped. The first measure to
stop it is just and prompt punishment
Of law-breakers. An enraged, out
ragged public sentiment which sees
dilatory justice or no justice for the
offender is very likely to exceed an-
thority and also break the law in the
name of justice.
Kansas has good courts. These
courts are as good as any human
courts. They have as few defects as
any others perhaps. But courts dc
not make law. Kansas needs som'
law that will take from the governor
the serious duty Of hanging her con
victed murderers, placing it on th'
convicting court.
No undue haste should ever atten'
a legal execution but a illegal execu
ton which never executes canno
carry with it any moral power owe
the convict or terror for those whom
it is intended to restrain. Wha
keeps Kansas from having such la'
il II is not this sentiment? Is it reas
enable for the state to refuse to de
prive murderer of his life because
objects to his killing anotherP
