THE DEATH PENALTY.

Once more the horrors and demor-
alizing effects of inflicting the death
penalty are suggested by the legal
killing of the fouc gunmen in New
York. First of ali, it is to be borne
in mind that many people doubt, in
all sincerity, whether all four of
them really were guilty. 1t is fur
ther very well understood that they
were convicted on testimony which
was procured by the process of
promising immunity to witnesses
who would themselves have been i'm
plicated in the plot if they had not
purchased immunity in this manner.
But let it be assumed that all four
of the condemned men had fully con-
fessed, and that it was perfectly cer-
tain that justice was getting the
right sacrifices. Even then, was it
worth while? The negative answer
seems unavoidable.
The utmost details of the lives and
experiences Of these men in the last
few days have been purveyed to a
morbid-minded element that cannot
get too much of that kind of thing.
Far from being an effective "hor-
rible example" to deter others from
offending, this kind of thing tends to
cxaggerate the tendencies to mental
distortion and morbidity. 1t is no.
torious as the one great generaliza-
lion from all experience of crimi-
nclogy, that the abolition of the
ieatk penalty for a long list OF
crimes was followed, not by an in
crease, but by steady decrease of
the number Of crimes. England's ex-
perience in this regard is so familiar
TO Americans that it need not ne re-
called in detail. Some of the older
States of our own Union have been
through much of the same expert
ence, with the same showing of re-
suits.
Society, in this twentieth century,
ought not to demand blood atone
ment. We pretend TO be Christians;
and even if our practical Christian
ity may be rather superficial in in
dividual cases, the moral tone of the
whole community is always higher
than of the average of individuals:
so it should reasonably be expected
that society might by this time give
up the demand for death penalties.
Without peradtenture Of doubt, few
er murderers would go unpunished,
fewer outrageous resorts to techni-
cality and perjury would be framed
up, if the dreaded danger of the
chair or the moose did not lie ahead.
The whole procedure of criminal law
enforcement would he lifted to a de-
center and honester plane by the one
move of abolishing absolutely the
death penalty.

how?
Can anybody give a satisfactory
answer?
It is about a generation since the
progressive country towns with as
pirations to a greater estate began
tearing down their front fences. 1t
was a shock to village-bred conser-
vatism at first; but in time the reali-
zation that there was absolutely no
use for the front fence got even to
the most hardened individualist, and
the front fence is now all but un-
known in cities and towns of pre-
tension.
Is there any better excuse for the
retention of the disgraceful and un-
slightly 'back fence" in a city?
Ever since The Times has been
urging, for some years past, the abo-
lition of the back fence nuisance, it
has been receiving assurances from
householders that they were IN SYM
patky with the idea of removing the
pack fences.
The notion OF converting the in
terror of the ordinary city block, now
cut up into checker-board spaces full
Ct ugliness and garbage, into pref
ty park for the use of the whole peo-
pie of the block. playground for
children, a breathing space for ell
ders, and thing OF beauty instead
of an eyesore-that notion touched
the popular imagination and made a
strong appeal.

swer seems to be that there should
be sort of local-option law per

determine what they will do. Until
that kind of law can be passed, every
block whose people will get together
and adopt this plan, will be a marked

Look out your back window at the
waste of high board fences half con-

Then think what it would be like if

legger's activities in this city. With
a search warrant Mr.. Wallis invaded

stolen clothes alleged to be on the

of whisky were found in Ginther's
bed. The chief examined the booze
and found that all the stamps and
seals were unbroken.
He left the booze there with the
remark that "the grand jury can
icok into this" and left the house.
The next day it was found that the
whisky had been emptied out of the
bottles and Ginther had refilled them
with sassafras tea. Unfortunately
for the success of his trick, however,
the officers had examined the origi-
nal bottle and recalled that the seals
were intact.
Later Ginther promised to bring
il his government license to the city
attorney and retire completely from
the retail liquor business. in which,
Chief Wallis, says, the gentleman is
extremely wise.
