FINANCE AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

NEW YORK. April 21.-NOtwith- standing the depressing influence of the Mexican crisis. the stock market advanced. Technical conditions proved to have stronger influence than the Mexican news It was ap- parent that the steady selling on the decline of last week brought about an oversold condition. It was as serted by some brokers that in pro portion to the amount of business there is now outstanding a larger short interest than at any time re- gently. Whether or not such an un- usual condition exists, offerings were sufficiently scarce to impel short covering on rising scale of prices
 Only once, shortly after the opening rise, the upward movement was halted. Prices were forced back to yesterdays close, but the demand ex- banded in the recession and the mar ket quickly sought the higher level
 The street was as greatly absorbed in Mexican matters as yesterday and shippers were on edge all day await ing some developments of sufficient importance to exert q decided influ
 ence on the market. Up to the time of closing, however, no news was re- ceived and although Washington ad- vices gave the situation still Srayer aspect, comparatively little in fluence was exerted by this factor The governments weekly weather re-

FACTS N0T SENTIMENT
Reply to a Recent Article by Professor Colodnv in Advocacy of the Aboli- tion of Capital Punish ment

To the Editor of The Republican:
 SIR-Wfll you allow me to reply to an article by Mr Colodny which appeared in the Gazette the l1th in stant upon the death penalty?
 Contrary to the opinion of the writer of that article, the question of the advisability of inflicting the pen alty of death is one upon which men may and do hold different opinions. and hold them dispassionatelE
 Mr.-Colodny says:
 "A person that flat footedly ex- presses himself in favor of a hang ing is either coward. or beast. Thost that cry out. Let him hang, never say it calmly, never under quiet deliberation. They are moved by the same impulsive passion that causes good men to swear and curse
 The mere restatement of this pas sage carries it's refutation. It is too absurd and sophomoric to dignify it by argument Thousands of men who are neither towards nor beasts believe in capital punishment as ne- cessary.
 Those of us who So believe feel that we have logic on our side. We base our belief on cold facts, not on maudlin sentiment that has for it's object q murderer. nor on the wo- manish dread of the sight of blood coupled with a shrinking from facing the realities of life and death. It is not theory but fact, that at the present time and in the present state of human advancement. mur- ders increase in direct proportion with the likelihood of the murderer escaping the death penalty. In England criminal justice-I use the word justice advisedly-is both | certain and swift, in it's pursuit and punishment of murderers. In our 1 own country we find some states, like New Jersey and Massachusetts, which. while not quote so swift ana certain in this regard, are yet more so than most other states. Q ma others. such as New York and H. linois, where. though the law theoritI- l callv prescribos death as the penalty { for murder yet. because oi the crowded condition of the trial and ap- pellate courts and the engrafting oi technicalites on the practical admin-
 istration of justice, the murderer has more than an even chance to escape
 paving the penalty which the law prescribes
 There are about twice as many murders per capita in New York as in England. and the average in states like New Jersey comes ill betweer

COPPER QUEEN WINS
 ANCIENT TAX SUIT
Recent Decision By United States
 Supreme Court

The eight-year- old suit of the ter ritory against the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company has been decided by the United States supreme court m favor of the de- fendant. The suit was begun in 1908 for the collection of certain back taxes amounting to more than 500, 900, The amount sued for was the difference between the amount assessed against the company and that paid by the company under q settlement between the company and the board of supervisors of Cochise county. On the trial of the case in the territorial court judgment was rendered for the territory.
 A motion for a new trial was granted and the company was given judgment The judgment was af- firmed by the territorial supreme court whence the case was taken to the supreme court of the United States where it was argued month ago by Attorney General Bullard and former Attorney General Clark for the state and by Messrs. EllinWood X Ross for the company
 An exchange says of the final de- cision:
 The first of last week the United States supreme court rendered a de- cision sustaining the contentious of the Copper Queen Consolidated Min ing Co. in it's tax suit filed in 1908 in the superior court of Cochse coun- ty and subsequently carried to the supreme court of the territory and thence to the United States supreme court. The decision just rendered, as learned by Ellnwood X Ross, at torneys for the company. represents distinct victory for the legal de partment of the Copper Queen and the establishment of the right of the position of the company in the ac- tion from tho beginning. The filing of the suit for the collection of the back taxes alleged due was attended at the time by much public interest and great deal of publicity"

 Brutal crimes of violence are best prevented by fear of physical punish ment. Mir. Colodny may not know it, but in recent years the whipping post has been revived as as a special pun ishment for wife beaters in one of the Atlantic states. The decrease in this brutal offense has amply justi- fled the measure.
 Again Mr. Colodny says:
 Now, I maintain that every one of the twelve condemned men now 9 stacked jury.

would have been done no matter what
the outcome of the investigation. But
now. he told himself, no one could say

He smiled slow smile Of reminis-
cence-for there had come 20 him at
that moment the dearest OF all those
memories play of his childhood.
He saw himself seated on a low
stool, watching a funny old clock with
a moon-face, whose smiling lips curved
up like military mustachios, and wish

He saw himself stealing down long
