tell me that vox populi is vox Del. be-
lieve that vox populi is vox diaboli What
did Shakespeare say? Hamlet declared
he would rather receive the praise of
one man who understood the merits of
the subject than the applause of the
whole gallery. But 1t is the crowd that
pays. Humor and amuse them and you
will get riches and position but I doubt
If there Is always honor or glory. l tell
you the whole world today is run mad
after the applause of the crowd We
eat what tickles our palate; we applaud
what tickles our fancy. We are becoming
mental and physical dyspeptics; the good
wholesome food and thought of few
years ago is being supplanted by the
peptonzed substitute upon which we are
becoming weaklings. The lecturer who
can make us laugh the writer whose
book we can skim over; the ragtime mu-
stefan and the comic artist are the money
makers, because vox populi approves.
The only consolation l can find is that

DREADED DEATH PENALTY

executed in that state only upon tho
governors warrant, and the Kansas gov
ernors have persistently declined to issue
a death warrant, the condemned persons
manwhile remaining in prison. In five
other states where the death penalty ex-
lists the trial juries have power to COM
mute it to life Imprisonment.
The right of the state to take the life
of a citizen has always been and doubt
less must remain an academic question,
although, conceding the soundness of the
doctrine of consent of the governed as
the ultimate basis of governmental au-
thority, 1t must be admitted that one can
not be morally held to a contract whereby
he consents that another may take his
life. In our civil Jurisprudence no man
can give another the right to do him
bodily injury. Such contracts are always
void as against public policy. But the
case against capital punishment is made
when it is shown that 1t is unnecessary.
1t is coming to be understood that the
majority of human beings do not refrain
from the commission of capital crimes
merely through fear of being hanged.
Every person who commits capital crime
knows that in states maintaining capital
punishment the death penalty is affixed
to that crime. From a personal study of
more than 1000 cases l am convinced that
most crimes are committed by persons
who either % expect to escape all pun
ishment or 90 who, upon the spur of the
moment, are regardless of all punishment,
or go who are governed by cosmic, social
or individual factors which render the
prospects Of punishment imperative as "A
deterrent agency at the time of the COM
| mission of the crime.

1t is very probable that the M. ,

given the contract to carry the
mail between Bemidj, and Redby
and intermediate points.
For several months CORES
pondence has been carried on
between w. G.. Marson, general
manager Of the railroad, and the
postal authorities at Washington,
with the result that it was de-
cided to send an official here to
investigate the matter. George
Bradford, chief Inspector for the
U. S. railway mail service, came
to Bemidji a few days ago, and in
company with MIR. Marson, went
over the entire line of the NJ,

Redby. What his report will be
is, of course, known only to Mr..
Bradford and the Washington
authorities.
The railway has been complet-
ed in its entirety from Bemidji
t. Redby. There has been an
excellent passenger service es-
tablishsd, and the carrying of the
mail could be done in a most ex-

than likely that the contract will
be given to the railway company.
