CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

More murders are committed in capital punishment StabrS than are committed per capita in the states that hav, abolished the death penalty.
 The percentage of increase of homicides in capital punishment states is larger per capita than in states in which Inc death pen alty has been abolished.
 Maine. Rhode Island, Michigan and Wisconsin abolished capit al punishment more than ten years before 1900. The ratio of mur- der in capital punishment Siairs in 1899 is shown hy the federal census in have been two and one half times as great as in the nnn- capital pu 1i~hmcnt >tai"$.
 For the y,tarS 1908, 1909 and 1910 the ratio of humici,irS in the four non-capilal punishment states was 66.i per million of population. The ration for the capital punishment Slatrs was 1i5.2 per million.
 HOmicidrS are swiftly incrcaS- ing in the UnitrI States, but the ratio Of increase in capital pun iSlnncnt states iS more than three and 0ne-half times as great as i'll safes that have abandoned the death penalty. ThnS Inc per- rentagr of increase for the four nOn-capital punishment sialrS Tor tht thrc" years of 1908. 1909 and 1910, over the three years of 1901. 1902 and 1903 was 90 per rent. During inc same years the jncrra.e C in the reporting capi- tal punishment StaIrS was 3t2 per cent.
