A TIMELY AND SENSIBLE EXPIRES.
SION ON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT,
IN WHICH THOSE WHO SUFFER
FROM CRIMES ARE CONSIDERED.

Among the intelligent partisans the
controversy over capital punishment
is deepening the channel of moral
thought and responsibility. Among
the superficial, there is great deal Of
twaddle exchanged through the gen.
erOus press, The people have spoken,
but the minority are not yet satisfied.
That's limelight finis, a glorious ex-
tinction, rare specimen of courage,
but since 1t is liable to be long time
before the two extremes of tempera-
ture may settle their own contention,
hadn't we better take things a little
more moderate?
The rights Of the minority are con-
Ceded, the faults of the popular vote
well understood, responsibility and
vindictive penalty rub some tender
spots, but, are we to settle this con-
troversy by hammering the heart
strings of our sympathy for the con-
demned alone? Have we entirely for

liberties for the general protection Of
society When this protection has been
questioned by open crime, all agree in
a penalty. The contention over capt.
tai punishment is not 50 much one Of
penalty as one Of what kind Of pen
atty. Society has ordained the eX-
treme limit in some cases. If you base
the penalty upon the nature of the
crime, we find that the most extreme
punishment is frequently Inadequate.
Capital punishment is as far as we
can go in the line Of penalty. We
believe the nearest we can come to
an adequate remedy in the case Of
the lonely widow Of Philomath is to
exact ian eye for an eye,' In this So
ciety pleases the theologians who are
strong on the Old Testament. But,
along comes another phase. The bar
barous penalty eXcites sympathy
questions the right Of society, raps
our moral consciousness with the
teaching of Him, whom, upon every
other question of moral conduct, we
do not dispute. The mass of people
who oscillate in the middle space be-
tween the decided partisans are in a
serious quandary. The Bible, from
which, it is said, you can prove every
thing, in the hands OF some interpre-
ters in this present discussion, doesn't
prove anything. Apparently it sup
ports either contention.
To argue against capital punishment
Is easy. To argue for it is like ar
guing for intemperance. Advertising
in a newspaper is the only thing we
know of that admits Of no argument

gotten the victims o. these unfortu-
nate men? 1t seems so.
We have listened long and patiently
to various arguments. In the barroom
we hear the yeggmans side of capital
punishment from a sociological point
Of view. In the club we hear the views
Of some whose stomachs have never
been empty, and whose hands have
never been cold. On the street we
hear the chatter of the curbstone tat
tier.
In the press we hear followers Of
the lowly Nazarene argue pro and con,
and both in the name of God. As a
climax, we have the letter from a
Southern Oregon woman who desires
that she might be hung instead Of the
condemned. At least, she asks that a
delay of six months be allowed for
the men to "get right with God" Just
how she arrived at the element Of time
in this matter, is unexplained. The
somewhat worn view Of theology that
an eleventh hour repentance is suf-
flcient, is evidently disputed by this
woman. The objection to a momen-
tary confession over the trap is that
we do not give the individual an oppor-
tunity to prove his sincerity, Many
worthy people spend an entire lifetime

generally sleep with one eye OPEN

Capital punishment may not be
right in theory or practice, It being a
palpable species of vengeance but 1t
being not within human wisdom and
province to adequately punish or
provide reparation, shall we not, in
the discharge Of the existing laws, in
the deluge Of sympathy for the CON
