A recently published article says that
there is enough timber standing In the
state of Washington to build 5000, 900
six-room houses, sufficient to shelter
one-third Of the Inhabitants Of the Unit
cd States, or furnish ties for 1893, 939
miles of railway track, etc. But all that
doesn't justify any waste OF timber, in
Washington, Maine, or any other state.

1--WE, who are defenders of that tragic
measure, the death penalty, are sustain
ed by the conviction that the prejudice
which our opponents entertain against
the execution Of the criminal will event
ually give place to sympathy for his
victim" SO says an advocate OF capital
punishment in recent periodical arti-
Gle. And yet it is not reasonable to say
that sympathy for the victim is to be
measured by the character Of the pun
ishmeut administered to the criminal.
The trend is not toward capital punish
ment, but away from it.
