PROMINENT PEACE GUARDIAN
OPPOSES CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Los Angeles, Cal.-Charles w.
Peters, sheriff of Cook county, Illi-
nois, is here on his way home from
the national convention of sheriffs at
Seattle, where he was elected presi-
dent of the association. He declared
himself a foe to capital punishment.
II am opposed to hanging as capi-
tai punishment" said Peters, main
ly because of the notoriety 1t gives to
the punishment of crime. A hang
ing is looked on as a dramatic per-
formance by most people and 1t al
ways draws crowd of the morbidly
curious to the scene, making the
sheriffs or prison warden's work
more difficult. There is no question in
my mind that hangings sometime in
cite people to murder"

ton in San Francisco Saturday night

how, but | will be there when it opens.

campaign, if possible, but | intend TO
call a spade a spade, and if l make
any charges or direct my remarks to
any particular man or set Of men,
the people Of San Francisco will know
what / am talking about"
Mr.. Heney was much chagrined at
the. report sent out from Tacoma to
the effect that he had placed his back
against a solid wall before addressing
the business men of the city.
"Tt seems strange to me-" he said,
that a newspaper man cannot see a
joke when he meets it. There 1. sur

to find a place where 1 could face

comes this newspaper man and takes
1t all seriously, making a udicrous
story out Of the happening If were

$1oo,oo0,O00 FOR DRAINAGE
Fifteen Million Acres in tho Delta to
Be Reclaimed.

Washinston.--That during the next
few years perhaps $%5o,o0o,ooo or $780,
coo, 900 will be spent for the drainage OF
the ~alIuvial region Of the lower Mis-
sissippi is the opinion Of Arthur +. Nor
gan, supervising drainage engineer, who
has submitted to his department a com
prehensive report Oh the ~alluvial lands
of the lower Mississippi valley and their
drainage. The report shows that in the
states of the lower Mississippi valley
| there are 100000 900 to 1j,0o0,000 acres
| Of land awaiting drainage. The 'nvestr'
| cations of recent years have established
the feasibility of this work, the state
legislatures are providing for the neces-
sary legal procedure, and a great public
interest is awakened in the prospect Tor
reclamation. The outlook is that dining
! the next few years a vast area OF eX'
ceedingly fertile land will be added to
the nations agricultural domain, that
malaria in the a%lluvial region will pass
away, as it has passed in some OF the
more northeriy states where it was once
prevalent, and that a prosperous rura
people will occupy the entire alluvla
lands of the lower Mississippi valley.
