the gallows. Subsequent develop
ments often show the fallacy of such
a course, and all those participating
in such cases live to regret the part
they played in them to the end Of
their lives, for the reason that an
innocent man was hung.
Nordstrom, during his long con
finement, never once intimated
either by thought, word or action,
that he was the man that killed Will
lie Mason. He went to the gallows
protesting his innocence, and the
last thing he said Of any signifi-
canoe was that he had nothing to
confess, but protested his innocence,
and, we believe, that it is seldom
that a man will wilfully lie when
the gallows is staring him in the
face. But be that as it may, he was
convicted on circumstantial evil
denee, and no one can rise up and
say that he was guilty Of the crime
for which he died.
Finally, we believe capital punish
ment relic Of barbarism, and serves
no god purpose, even when the ma
jesty Of the law orders it done.
Hanging man for committing a
murder does not serve a very salient
lesson to those living, for there are
as many murders committed in
states where capital punishment is
weakly enforced as in those states
where capital punishment is I'M
knwon. Few men commit murder
but that are crazy at the time they
commit the deed, and those that are
not crazy the world is as well off
with them confined in a prison cell
for all time to come as if they were
in their grave, for the one is about
as bad as the other.

nothing, more nor less. You SIM
ply want to be unfair. You have a
political grievance at the editor Of
this paper and you misquoted him
in order to vent your political spleen.
That you have no sympathy for the
race that is being disfranchised in
the South is plain to be seen from
the weekly editorials in your paper;
on the other hand, that it meets your
editorial approval is likewise plain
to be seen, and were it possible you
would not only vote to disfranchise
them in the South, but everywhere
else. You are a Democrat, and that
explains it all, as far as the disfran-
chised race in the South is concern
ed. 1t is fair to be fair, and The
Republican asks nothing Of you
from a journalistic standpoint, fur
Their than when you desire to criti-
else it do not misquote its articles
in order to give yourself an oppor-
tunity to do so.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-08-30
PUNISHMENT.

The Republican agrees with the
large majority Of the papers in this
state in the belief that Nordstrom
ought to have been hung ten years
ago; that is, if he ever ought to have
been hung at all. If our laws are
so cumbersome that it requires ten
years or more to hang a man who
has been repeatedly found guilty of
murder in the first degree, then the
moral effect, if moral effect you may
call it, losese all it's significance, and
the law itself becomes equally guilty
of murder when it hangs a man that
has been confined in the county jail
for SO long period of time; and
this is more especially true when the
accused has become insane from
continued years Of mental strain as
to the final outcome of his conqi-
ton. Individually, however, we be-
lieve it was mistake, at least from
a humane standpoint, to have hung
Charley Nordstrom, because we be-
lieve at the time he was hung he
was a mental wreck, which condi
ton was superinduced from long
years Of confinement, and regardless
Of the mans mental condition at the
time the murder was committed, in
our opinion, it is absolutely wrong,
inhuman and understandable to
hang man who is crazy, and that
was Nordstrom's condition.
Secondly, we believe it is wrong
to hang any man on circumstantial
evidene, and that, too, however
strong the circumstances leading to
his conviction may have been. There
is no denying the fact that circum-
stantial evidence, when all the con-
Meeting links have been forged to-
gether, makes a very strong chain Of
evidence, but it frequently happens
that there is a missing link and
those working the case, for the sake
of eonvition, supply this vital link,
which FORCES the chain about the &C
cused persons neck and convits him
Of mucrder in the first degree, the
punishment for which is death on

DON'T LIKE A DEMOCRAT, NoHow.


The colored editor Of The Seattle
Republican in one column condemns
the lynhcing outrages in the South,
and in another says it is unfortunate
that the Aberdeen incendiaries were
not burned or strung up. If this
fellow is a fair sample Of his race,
the Argus hasn't much sympathy
for those who are being disfranchis-
ed. Brutality is brutality, whether
in the North or in the South, and
whether the victim is white or black.

Permit us to say that you have
most fagrantly misquoted our ar
ticle. This paper never said or in
timated that the man who tried to
burn the city Of Aberdeen should
have either been lynched or burned,
but it did say that the citizens were
Infatuated and threatened such ven
geance upon him, and The Republi-
can is not responsible for what the
citizens Of Aberdeen threaten to do
to an alleged criminal. We COM
