CALLS HANGING CRIME.
Professor George B. Foster, Univer-
sity OF Chicago, Denounces Capital
Punishment


Chicago, Ill.-"I object to capital
punishment on the basis of justice
itself" said Professor George B. Fos-
ter, University of Chicago, speaking
before the Society of Anthropology
in the Masonic Temple.
Roosevelt talked a lot about equal
and exact justice for ell, to use his
fine, classic phrase. but who is to say
what Is exact justice? He probably
gained his idea from the bible saying
about "a tooth for a TOOTH" but an
exchange of teeth would not neces-
sarily be a just operation.
For instance. one of my teeth
would not recompense Roosevelt for
the loss of one OF his. No more does
the taking of human life recompense
society for the crime OF murder.
Some people claim that capital
punish ment Is a deterrent of crime,
but that Is not proved by history. A
hundred years ago In England men
were executed for horse stealing and
even for smaller thefts but those
crimes continued. II hanging did not
deter horse thieves it will not deter
HhuruererS.
"Of course. hanging is the simp-
lest way to dispo'e of an undesirable
citizen but the duty or society is to
study the criminal and to help him
reform. Too many persons forget
that the murderer is, after all, a man
and that we all of us are members
of the human race, bound up in the
same great bundle of life.
81, for one, refuse to be silent
partner in an institution that delib-
erately snuffs out human life arbi-
trarily. and when a man is hanged in
this democratic country he is hanged
by all of US
"Occasiona ly the bible is quoted
to prove thai Christ approved OF cap
ital punishment 1 can recall only
the words of Jesus to the mob which
gathered to stone a woman, Let him
among you who Is without sin cast
the first stone.' stones would have
reached the body of the woman but
the kindness reached her spirit and
she was forever reformed. We should
exercise more charity and less ven-
geance in our treatment of GRIM
inals''

Bunl1o Artist, Dressed as Guileless

Chicago, IIl.-"All the rubes do not
live in, the country" sighed a city
fireman. There's a lot of them in
the Chicago fire department, and the
way they have been bunked by a
guileless country youth is something
to remember"
Frank Anderson, 20 years old who
says he lives in Wheeler, Ind, is the

firemen are looking for him with
blood in their eyes and clubs in their
hands.
Anderson, according to the stories
OF the firemen, made a round of the
various engine houses and told story
Of hard luck. He was stranded in the

money enough to get back home.
