The Judge who sentenced man to-
the penitentiary for life for cold blood
ed murder at Pembina. recently, sew
erely criticised the capital punishment
law and said it was but another name
for murder. With all our judges and
governors declaring against capital
punishment it will not be long before
it will be done away with in this coun-
try. 8 This is a rather large question,
but from the fact 1t has been allowed
to stand as it stands in. this state at
the present time for several centuries,
1t evidently has two sides: No doubt
when it comes down to the point OF
right and wrong capital punishment
should be abolished, but the judge. in
scoring a law, which he had sworn to
Ecarry out, was at the least just a little
discorteous toward that law. Possibly
a more fitting manner for him to pro.
coed would have been to make i
speech against such Jaw, at some
Iother time.-Edgely Mall.
