Prior TO the labor troubles the indi.

The testimony before the national In.

every fair.minded man that the dom

business agents has absolutely to cease

Al good Americans will heartily In
dorse the vigorous patriotism OF the ia
nous physician, DIR. Mckinney, In con-
tradicting the story Of his intended re-
tirement to Europe, with the emphatic
remark, 81 hato EupOre. America Is
good enough for me-" 1t Is not neces-
sary to hate Europe, and 1t Is profitable
TO have seen and studied Europe. 1t
has much that IL worth seeing and

ed American always likes to examine
for himself the evidence on which he
Is to give an opinion. Travel Is good
for both mind and body; 1t Is vacation
and education. But after the Amer
lean has taken a good look at Europe
he need have no hesitation In declaring
with DR.. McBirney that America Is
good enough for him. 1t Is good enough
for anybody. Nowhere else In the world

Propositions TO abolish the death pen
atty have been under discussion this
season In two or three Legislatures.
The movement makes slow progress;
for, after more than Hfty years OF agi.
tation. there are only i've States-Col.
orado, Rhode Island, Maine. Michigan
and Wisconsin--ln which the death
penalty IL forbidden by law. The ad.
vocates OF the change insist that cup.
ital punishment II brutalixing; that u
does not act as deterrent to crime;
and that It defeats the ends Of justice
by making jurles reluctant to convict
when they know that verdict Of guilty
will carry with It the death sentence.
Such case as that which recently &C.

sentenced to life Imprisonment for muir.
der, was proved innocent and pardoned
after serving twenty-five years. 10 cited
- evidence Of the irreparable wrong
which would have been done. II the
death sentence at nrst imposed upon
him had been carried out. On the other
hand, II 10 argued that the death pen.
atty really does deter from crime; that
statistics show that, through the abuse
OF the pardonlng power, the average
term OF life imprisonment has been re.
duced to confinement for only ten or
twelve years; that the increased prison
population, where the death penalty Ii
abolished, puts heavy burden on the
public; and that convlcts under q life
sentence are q dangerous charge, be-
cause they can murder their keepers
without mourning any heavier penalty
than that which they are already un.
dergoing. The recent lynching Of a
Colorado convict. who had escaped
from the penltentiary after killing a
prison official, II explained as pro-
test against the disuse Of the death
penalty. In Michigan there Is strong
agitation for the restoration OF capital
punishment. Iowa once abolished the
death penalty, and later restored It; and
| Maine, after abolishing It, restored It.
and later abolished 1t again. While the
movement to do away with capital pun
ishment makes slow progress, humanlz
ing Influences nre gaining ground. Thu
