ANOTHER PANAMA QUESTION.

The Panama canal toll controversy
between this nation and Great Britain
is now in fair way OF being settled

in connection with the canal in which

acquisition OF the canal zone which

every county In the state needs them
badly.
IL is when We consider the COM
bined effect OF these two laws, how
ever. that their advantages appear in
their strongest light. The abolition OF
tho fee system by a salaries law
would mean many thousands OF dol.
lars OF public money available for
some other purpose. With a practical
good roads law this money could be
spent on the public highways without
any additional taxation.
With better roads more and better
farming could be done. for the time
and money of the farmer would not
be wasted in hauling his supplies from
town and his products 70 market
With better and bigger crops all over
the state would come lower prices for
farm products. or In other words. a
reduction in the cost OF living.
Trcre Is no politics in either OF
these proposed laws. although the sal.
aries law will, OF course. be fought by
some politicians. Both are measures
for the good OF all the people and do
the maximum amount OF good. and
both should be passed al the present
session OF our legislature.

TO ABOLISH CAPITAL PUNISH.
MENT

Doubtless with the most sincere and
humane motives. the Hon. Charles A.
Sutton. OF Harrison county. has pre-
pared and will present to the West
Virginia Legislature Q bill having for
Its object the abolition OF capital pun
ishment There arc strong humani.
tartan arguments In favor OF such a
law. The argument that this state
should not do what Il prohibits its
citizens from doing is often used The
humane mind recoils IN horror from
the infection Of the death penalty.
Yet this very horror is the greatest
protection OF society against the muir
derousy inclined. The death penalty
Is not merely a punishment inflicted
on one individual for taking the life
OF another individual. II is, primarily.
restraining force. which prevents
vastly more crime than IL Furnishes.
That this is true Ia shown by a COM
parison OF the homicide rate OF Eng
land with that of the United States.
The latest figures show that the rate
per 100000 inhabitants in England is
o.s. or less than one life annually.
The average in the United States is
6.5. or more than six lives annually.
True. both England and the United
States have capital punishment, but
the difference is that in England IL is
promptly and vigorously enforced, and
in the United States IL is not. The
man who contemplates committing a
murder in England knows that IL he
f6es he is almost certain 20 end his
earthly existence at the end OF a rope
The man who plans the same crime
here knows that through the poor ad-
ministratlon OF our laws he has a
chance of going entirely free and sev-
eral more chances OF short prison
term.
Sentimentalists argue. by a devious
chain OF reasoning. that the death pen
atty does not prevenr murder. buy the
facts show that such statements are
utterly false. And even though our
law be poorly adm Mustered Il is surely
far better 10 let the criminally in
clined man know that there "a such a
penalty hanging over him than 70 re-

OF imprisonment. even for life. is not

murder are strong and can only be
successfully combatted by the fear Of
death. And only when that fear is
