the need of severer punishment fol
habitual criminals can be deduced
il must be shown that the existing
penalties are, when fully enforced
inadequate. There is only one way
Of proving that, namely, the full
trial of the experiment whether
the universal and uner1ing enforce
ment of them will not decrease the
crime.
This bears not only on the need
but the efficacy of the proposed
increase in severity. Fer instance
if the law for a veriety of rea-
sons is uncertain in imposing the
penalty of Imprisonment for q
wide variety of offenses, from trust
conspiracies to burglary, what pros.
pect is there that it would be any
more certain in imposing the deatf
penalty for the habitual commits
sion of those crimes7 Obviously
the more Draconian penalty would
meet the Draconian fate.
Before we increase the number
of causes for capital punishment
it must be shown to be necessary by
making the application of the pres
ent penalties certain and uneruing
and then seeing whether they fai
or not. We ventu ne the assertion
that the persistence of crime is du,
not TO the inadequacy of the presen'
penalties but to the belief of Grim
Iirnls-too often well founded tina
the penalties will not be enforced
against them. The Attorney Genera
cannotyo f nouse, command eff

But he is in a position to inspire

trembling peepul. Nearly all the

or sacred tree. The peepul is known
as the king Of trees. It is the most
