MURDERS IN SENTIMENTAL STATES.
The Dalles, Oregon, Oct. %, 1912.


Homicides Greater in Number Where There
is no Death Penalty.
[Ohio Herald and Presbyter1
1t is common for sentimentalists to claim
that capital punishment is unnecessary, and
some of the more ignorant make themselves
believe that there is less crime without it.
The last census of the United States seems to
show that capital punishment prevents about
one half of the murders that take place where
the penalty is only life Imprisonment. The num-
Der of murders per 1,000 900 population in three
New England States, which inflict capital pun
ishment, is: Connecticut, IL; Vermont, 12
Massachusetts,, 13-au average of IL. In States
which have only life imprisonment there are:
In Maine, % murders per 100000 people, and
in Rhode Island, 33-an average of %; more
than twice as many murders as in other New
England States which inf1icu capital punish
ment. In the District of Columbia. which has
/ only life imprisonment, there are 102 murders
per 100000 of population; eight times as
many as in Massachusetts,. Massachusetts
contains Boston, large city, and of late years
Irish city, with large foreign population
of recent arrival.
We should, naturally, look for more murders
in Massachusetts than in Maine Rhode
Island. Maine is also prohibition State, and
all agree that prohibition tends to prevent
crime; yet Maine has nearly twice as many
murders the New England States which in
inf1ict capital punishment The reason is not
far to seek. The thing which men most fear
is death. A philosopher may reason that life
Imprisonment is a greater punishment than
death. But our object is not to infiict the
greater punishment, but to prevent murder.
The average man fears death the most, oe-
cause it comes Immediately. Moreover, he
has the hope of pardon. Official reports show
that of the murde-ers sentenced to life i'm
prisonment in Rhode Island from 1888 to 1884
nearly all have been pardoned, the average
Imprisonment being only about ten years. The
chance of life Imprisonment is small. If a
man knows he will be hanged he does not
commit murder.

1t is the inevitable rule of congressional
procedure and efficiency in Washington, in all
other ways, that the man who knows how to go
about things, no matter if he doesn't qualify
as an orator, is the best asset for district In
other words, knowledge of Washington ways
and procedure and affairs is of more benefit to
the folks in the district-any district-than all
the speeches that could be crowded into a

Ellsworth American: History shows
that from the beginning of the govern
ment until now every era of protection
has been one of industrial, commercial
and financial prosperity; every era of a
tariff for revenue only has been one of
industrial depression, business stagna-
ton and disaster.
History will repeat itself; a Demo
cratic victory next month is as sure to be
followed by bill of destruction to pres
ent prosperity, as night is sure to follow
day. Can capital stand it? Can labor
stand it? Can agriculture stand it?

the number engaged in some kind

BRYAN REsENTs RIVALRY.

Col. William J. Bryan does not
mean to be Ousted from his pre-
eminence as party wrecker and boss
as we'll as political radical. The
clash between him and the head OF
the third term party is, therefore.
OF special interest, since there has
been something of competition be-
tween them as to which could do
most at playing ducks and brakes
with public questions.
But Col. Bryan has Col. Roose-
welt on the defensive when he asks
IT any new party would have been
organized at this time if Col. Roose-
welt were not candidate for Presf-
dent. The answer to that, of course.
is negative, and the conclusion is
that it is merely the ambition of one
man to hold Office that is the con-
trolling factor in forming it. and
leads to the future comment that no
man has ever been known in this
country to be big enough to be
made himself the issue around
which party should be formed. A
party should have principles as well
as a leader, and to organize merely
for the sake of a leader with only
pretended principles is not historic
in our politics, to say the least.
1t is a home thrust when Col,
Bryan asks Col. Roosevelt whether
he would have regarded Republican
bosses as an objection if he had sue
ceeded in getting control of the
Chicago convention, and if he had
controlled the national committee
and had seated enough Of his South
ern delegates to dominate the con-
vention. ~
The answer is obvious enough.
that in such event the Republican
party would be in the eyes of Col.
Roosevelt himself, what it is in the
eyes of very large proportion of
the thinking citizens of the entire
country, that is, a party of principle
and organization whose history
proves that it is worthy to be
trusted and to whose hands should
be committed for a still longer pc
riod the direction of affairs.

MORE LIGHT ON THE "HOUSE OF
THE GOOD SHEPHERD"
SYSTEM.

Dear Sir: The writer has recently
become a subscriber and notes with
interest articles about the political
influence of the Roman Catholic
organization masquerading as reli-
gion. 1t is very strong in Detroit
and Wayne county this State. l got
hold of pamphlet about one Mabel
Wellington, who was 1ured to the
House of the Good Shepherd in
Detroit, and held prisoner for seven
years, working in the laundry which
they operate, three story brick
building about 50x100, using per-
haps four delivery wagons.
She was finally discovered by &C.
cident and the antics of these people
for two years after, showed evidence
Of crookedness.
Her sister and guardian brought
suit for damages. Case not tried in
Detroit. Verdict $4,000, of which
the lawyer got two-thiros. No Pro-
testants helped the poor woman in
the fight against the octopus. In
fact, the mayor, Protestant actually
helped tho other side. His name
was Maybury. The attorneys name
was ConlOn, Mason. The girls sis
ter mentioned is Mrs. Willie Gallon,
No. 366 Alger, Detroit, an ordinary
poor woman, a Protestant. A long
time after good many Catholics
would either snub her or make
sneering remarks.
There are other details, but I will
go on to say that 1 noticed the alb
scence of fire escapes and got the
building inspector on August 18th,
and we went all through The
whole institution is an'entire block,
wall around it 10 feet high, church
and convent inside, several dormi-

more Protestant girls.
