THE DAWN OF
BETTER DAYS
General StonewaH.

O>~~~ - >~>~e s
In the hope Of saying a few
words of cheer to The Mirror read
ers; | shall try and be concise, brief
and TO the point. As we will soon
begin another year:-A New Year,
/ will speak of what / see forecast
to take place in the near future:
/ see in the east the beginning of
new era in which the best that is
in all true men and women is being
directed in and for the spirit of the
three great cardinal virtues which
are: The Fatherhood of God; the
Brotherhood of Man, and the I'm
mortality of the SOUL
Therefore, / see the dawning of a
better day, first, in the Volunteer
movement, In which thousands of
!! College and University Students
have pledged themselves to GO to the
ends of the earth in the interest of
/ the race. / see the dawning of a
better day, next, in that recent great
uprising of the Christian Laymen Of
i America, having the avowed pur-
J pose of the conquest of the world for
the betterment of humanity in this
generation. and that all the world is
becoming accessible to truth and
Justice, through this great brother
hood movement in this and other
countries; indicating the desire Of
pen and women of all religious
: creeds and Of every nationality to
unite in common movement
against the forces of evil; in the up
: lifting of the weak.

better day, in .th e fulfillment oi

tians who are beginning to act al

both to holy living and to Christian
: Charity.
i / see again, in the world wide
: movements of woman suffrage an6
temperance, which in many quarters
e assumes the form of a religious cru
: sude; in the efforts of government
: and individuals toward the better
i ment of all as well as for universe
q peace.
] see the dawning of a new an(

last session of the state legislature
passed law abolishing the practice
in this state. and it is to be hoped
that this will stand forever. For,
from humane standpoint, this one
act is Of more vital Importance, and !
will ultimately prove to be greater
agent for good than the remain
ling three-hundred and ninety-four
laws passed during the same session
put together.
At the time of its passage many
of the papers in the state while not
openly objecting to it, were very
pessimistic in their views as to its
effects, and it is strange fact that
during the months that have since
intervened, there should have been
SO large an increase in the number
of capital crimes committed in the
state.
1t is to be expected that the pa
pers would blame this increase on
the new law, and they do blame it
in the most bitter terms, some even
going SO far as to state that the leg
islature allowed itself to be influ-
enced by a bunch of fanatical re-
formers and soft-hearted women"
into committing murder itself, and
4 even limited that lynching would
probably result. These of course
are extreme views, prejudiced and
absurd, and of no consequence
whatever to the thinking people
who did so much to bring about the
! abolition of the death penalty. but
!. they would serve to incite mob vio-
,Ilence at critic al time and would
thus have committed the very thing
which they now accuse the legisla
ture of committing.
These papers have not allowed
the new law fair trial. It's ulti
mate effects for good or evil are moi
to be determined in few shorl
months it will require years. / dc
, not believe that the abolition of cap
? ital punishment in this state had the
Z least effect, either one way or the
( other upon the crimes committed
Z since its passage. / believe tba
4 the great majority of murders arr
. committed on the spur of the mo
= ment, as it were, and are not pre-
4 meditated, which being the case, tn,
penalty, whether it be death, or lif'
! imprisonment is given no consider
~ alton at the moment and therefor
- capital punishment does not act a
i preventive measure Cool, pre-
= meditated murder is really of rar
occurrence, for premeditation upol
i thing so dangerous is bound t.
% raise fears and fear is the creates
deterrent of crime in the world. :
n. 1t has been stated by some of tn
a. best thinkers of our time that cap
ID ital punishment ITSELF. serves n
at good end, that it is inexpedient, an
ne altogether contrary to the presen
is tendency of civilization. This
u very true, for society of today
ed striving to save life, not to destro
a. it. and the fact that capital punish
ment does not now nor never di
en- prevent murders is proven beyond
ut doubt by the fact that new crime
nd follow bard on terror inspiring tria
is and executions. Neither does it a,
nd in accordance with the reformator
de doctrine of the day, for man can
lct be reformed after he is dead. n
all it is in accordance with the old an
he exploded theory Of retribution-
eye for an eye. and a tooth for
