ITO MAKE THE PUNISHMENT FIT
THE CRIME"

The American Journal of Sociology
publishes some remarkable statistics on
crime.
During fourteen years 1869 there
were 1924 lynchings in the United
States, and 1859 legal executions; for
every two men who were legally ex
ecuted three were lynched. In the same
period the total number of murders
and homicides was S6,825. The largest
number of murders in any one year of
this period was 1O.625 in 1896. The larg-
est number of lynchings was 235 IN 1894
In 1886 there were 1,448 murders and
So legal executions. In 1889 there were
SIPS murders and homicides, 107 lynch
ings, and 131 legal executions. The fig
ures for three years in the South show
that fifty per cent of victims Of lynch
law were accused of crimes connected
with murder. and eighteen per cent of
rape. The article says, According to
Mulhall one and one-half per cent of
all mothers die sooner or later in child
birth Is it not a striking commentary
on our civilization that the brutal muir

derer in driving life out OF the world is
subjected to\less risk of death than the
mother in bringing life into it? Do we
regard murderers of more Importance
than the mothers?" The article declares
that the death penalty does not fit the
crime"
Something more useful than mere
execution should be substituted. II
states that over $4,000 deaths yearly
occur in the United States from germ
diseases alone. Every one of these
germ diseases can be prevented or con-
trolled, if the destroyer of the germ
is known and can be applied in time
Experiments in finding them must be
made, bat we cannot experiment on
human beings; we resort to animals
only, WHICH is not satisfactory. The
author of the article insists that all
persons convicted of murder should be
turned over to the proper medical
bodies and be subjected to any expert
ments which may throw light on the
matter of discovering germ destroyers.
The life forfeited by crime then at
once becomes useful to humanity. A
human experiment station is needed
and the criminals must be the sub
jects, though no torture should be useu.
In this way there will be opened vast
field for the relief of human ills-new
and exact knowledge in anatomy,
physiology, psychology, criminology,
and every branch of therapeutic medi-
cine.
Modern investigators try their ex-
periments on animals, and then on poor
hospital patients. If the patient dies,
no one is the wiser: it is a profess
sional secret. It is of more Importance
to provide investigators with living
subjects than ta give dead men to the
medical colleges.
It may be said to the credit of the
Monarchy, that nearly TWEEN
ty years ago, the death penalty was
in the case of a. condemned
murderer provided he would become a
subject for experiment in the matter
of leprosy. It was a wise disposition of
the case and 1t furnished some valuable
knowledge on the nature of the disease
It was not followed in the cases of 9TH
er murderers as the community believ-
ed that hanging prevented crime.

some experiments in the raising of the
bivalves were made several years ago.
We have long hoped that Mr.. Arm

oyster beds of Pearl Harbor, a scheme
which he has more than once declared
tos be feasible The next best thing
will be to increase the product of the

of making oysters cheaper for export.

Nothing, can be more paroehiaf than
the journalism which offers the conclu-
sions of Attorney General Knox In che
Humphreys casesas an offset to the in
dictment brought by Humphreys fellow
lawyers of the Hawaiian Bar Associa-
ton, by a vote Of thirty-seven to seven.
These lawyers knew the, circumstances
about Humphreys, while Attorney
General Knox simply accepted the word
of the lying knave whom they had
branded. That he did SO, clearly in
dicates that the Attorney General did
not think 1t best, as a matter of policy,
to declare that the Department of JUS
tice was represented in Hawaii, through
Presidential appointment by a black
leg. So Humphreys was .whitewashed.
Nevertheless crow Is never the whittier
for being scrubbed and Humphreys will
come back no less a scoundrel than
when he went and good deal more
of liar.

The protectionist feeling in Australia
is growing stronger the more the vast
prosperity of the United States is con-
sidered. In many respects the influence
of this country upon Australia is great
err than that of England and it is
notably shown in the adoption of SO
many American ideas in the scheme of
federation. sOur neighbors In the far
South have the prcss.em before them of
making a new country great and rich
and they naturally look to see how the
United States has succeeded in the
task We should not be surprised if,
before many years, all ideas of free
trade should go down before the logic
of Internal development as represented
by protective safeguards. ..eg $500
