TIE FOLLY OF Furnishing
MURDER BY IMPRISONMENT.
In the state of Maine the question
is being submitted to the voters OF
that state for he repeal Of section
OF the state constitution which pre-
vents capital punishment As the prop
ostioa for the adjustment Of cap
ital punishment in Arizona is being
urged by Governor Hunt the follow
ing discussion of the subject publish
ed by the Massachusetts Civic Al
lance win be OF interest here:
THE state OF Maine occupies a
prominence by virtue Of her natural
resources and her laws. Her rugged
sea coasts and pine forests produce
a robustness Of character for the up
building Of the union, and her laws
work out the good or the bad in the
two vital principles of prohibition and
of life Imprisonment

,nultiplying savings banks encourage

1T is not in the immigration. for

As the cause Of frequency OF hom-
icides IS not found in the people or
their environments It must be in he

murder. and especially so since other
states under the death penalty law
have fewer bomicides in proportion
to the population.

lively little bloodshed. This is due
to the threat in the death penalty
law BY which every man is warned
that if be robs another Of the right
to exist he must forfeit his own life.
Therefore few seek their own death
by killing others.
Life Imprisonment. on the other
hand, does not restrain men by a
threat of calamity equal to what Ire

The W. J. Sparks Co. have placed

We trust that the MI. Vernon quar-

Ii seems TO us that it would be good
policy and good business on the

upon Mr.. w. j. Spark the presi-
dent Of the company, to instalI that

1t will be only small part of be

few years will have passed when it
will be one OF the biggest ends Of
the W. j. Sparks Co. s business As

has no equal for restoring worn out

than the commercial fertilizers and
the results better. Let us use our
