purpose. The abolition OF capital pun
ishment in certain States and the sta
tistics Of murders have supplied us
with the proof we required.
Not once has 1t happened that the
ruler of a country In which capital pun
ishment has been abolished was at
tackled in a land where it is still i'll
force. The contrary, however. has hap
pened twice-onee with fatal results.
That was when an Italian travelled to a
Swiss cantor in which the death penal
ty had been abrogated. to kill the EN-
press Of Austria. In the other case an
Italian named Sipido travelled from
France to Belgium, where the death
penalty has been abandoned for half a
century, in order to assassinate King
Edward VII, then Prince OF Wales.
The total number of regicidal plots
involving the employment of explosives
recorded since 1895 is sixty, of which
thirty-fve matured as far as the in
cipient attempt. Only twenty-three
were actually carried out, and success
was achieved in only two instances
both limited TO Russia.-Harper's
Weekly.

Plays in Preventing Assassinations

profession. Auxiliary motives of a
financial nature were suspected.
A SECOND case of this nature occurred
thirteen years ago in Leghorn, where
the editorial writer Bandi was stabbed
to death by a certain Lucchesi, whose
skill in the science of assassination need
have caused no surprise, since he had
already served his apprenticeship in
Jail for a previous crime OF the same
character. On the occasion OF his
previous trial his counse had pleaded
the Lombroso degeneracy doctrine,
v%'hereupon Bandi wrote an editorial de-
rouncing this procedure. and ~-idiculing
the doctrine. The article was so con
vincing that the public prosecutor
waived the ordinary summing up and,
in place of 1t, read Bandi's words to the
jury. who promptly convicted Luccbeei.
During his term in jail the murderer
nourished q fierce hatred against the
n an whom he regarded as the cause of
his condition, and as soon as he was
released he murdered him.
Had capital punishment prevailed the
lives of Bandi and the Greek premier
would have been spared at the expense
Of those of the assassins. Those who
preserved the latter, TO the sacrifice of
the former. by the abolition or disuse
of the death penalty, are accessory to
the wanton murder of useful and emil
nent citizens.
For a long time the advocates OF
capital punishment were in the pre-
dicament of being unable to meet the
positive evidence brought forward by
their opponents as to the failure of the
! death penalty to effect its deterrent

A E. LEVEL CANAL
ACROSS STATE

preliminary the most favorable route Tor the canal must be
ascertained. Federal engineers are now engaged in making
surveys, favor being given to a sea level canal In all previous
discussions OF a ship canal it was assumed that the Delaware
and Raritan Canal would be widened and deepened for the
purpose. This canal is 43 miles long between New Brunswick
and Bordentown and has a feeder. also n~avisable, - miles in
length. The summit level extends almost to the Delaware and
tile waters OF that river are brought through the feeder entirely
across the State to empty into the Ramtan at New Bruins.
wick. The main canal is 80 feet wide and 8 feet deep and there
are fourteen locks, with two in the feeder. The canal will accom-
modate 500-ton barges, The objection lies in the locks. If a
tidewater ship canal is to be constructed a new route must be
taken, as the cost OF deepening the Delaware and Raritan canal
to make it tide level would be p%rohibhive. But what then shall
be done with that canal?

accelerate its advent have already

GREED REPELS
POPULATION

lords, who, having been told there would be a great rush of
population from Manhattan into New Jersey, want TO begin big
proft-making at once, People who have heard OF reasonable
rents for flats and houses in desirable neighborhoods in New
Jersey are surprised, upon inquiring, to find the rents SO high.
This imitation OF prices began when the first set OF tunnels was
opened and it IS in evidence that there are many flats III the
municipalities on the Hudson that have not been rented
for a year because of the excessive rents charged. This inor-
dinate greed naturally compels home-seekers to look farther
and they come to Newark and towns in Essex county, where
landlord expectations have not been SO greatly fattered, and
lind the homes they want. Greed on the west bank of the Hudson
will materially help for some time to populate Essex county and
trans. Passaic towns.
