Torture STATIONS.

Speaking of capital punishment. q
writer in the American Journal Of
Sociology declares that the kill;Sg Of
criminals does not benefit society,
while life Imprisonment merely lays
an extra burden on the public. BY
way of making the punishment for
murder At the crime he urges that
every condemned murderer should be
turned over to the doctors to be ex-
pertmented upon until he dies. In sup
port of this proposition the writer
makes long and serious argument.
Among other things, he shows how
many hundreds Of thousands of peo-
pie are dying annually of diseases
which might be cured II the scientists
had human experiment station
where they could try all sorts of pro-
posed remedies. It does not answer
the purpose to try new medicine upon
animals, and the idea OF being expert
mented upon is not popular among
patients. Here is the opportunity.
says the writer, for, making the con-
demned murderer repay a part of the
debt that he owes to society. Let him
be experimental upon with new Be-
runs and potions until he dies.
