IEATH PENALTY IN
COLORADO NOT NEEDED

In Colorado, as in Iowa. capital
punishment was abolished for brief
period and then restored Here, as
elsewhere, there was no apparent in
crease in the number of murders
subsequent to abolition of the GAL
lows, but there did result a material
increase in the proportion of convic.
lions to indictment for murder in the
first degree. Statements to the eff
feet that murders, increased in these
states as a result of adjustment of
the death penalty are false
That this revival of the death pen
atty was not called for by any practi-
cal necessity, in Colorado, is vouched
for by Mr.. G. L. Stonaker, secretary
of the state board of Charities and
Correction. In his report for 1900
to Hon. Samuel J. Barrows, w. s.
Prior, commissioner, Mr.. Stonaker
said: Capital punishment has been
abolished in this state without any ap-
parent increase in the humber of
murders committed, but with better
showing for speedy trials and convic-
tions. Since the establishment or the
law abolishing capital punishment so
per cent of murder trials have result
ed in convictions"
A recent letter to Mr. Stonaker in
regard to the effect of the revival of
the death penalty in 1901, evoked the
following reply. "All the inquiries
and Investigations made in this office
lead to the conclusion that capital
punishment, as law, has but little
to do with the increase or decrease of
murder, homicide and manslaughters
or assaults to do bodily harm The
causes of murder are many and the
deterrent effects of law have little
weight in checking these crimes"

SIXTY THREE YEARS WITH
OUT GALLOWS-HANGED
THE WRONG MAN
How Abolition of the
Death Penalty Worked
in Rhode Island
MURDERS RARE, LYNCHlNGS
UNKNOWN

Last week we printed letter Of in
quiry from Nebraska in which the
present writer was asked the follow
ing questions
did you know that r. J. has rein
stated capital punishment They
claim that the rate of homicides in
Maine and II. ]. is much greater than
that of other northeast states. What
do you suppose causes it? Did, to
your notion, abolishing of the death
penalty have anything to do with it?"
To all intents and purposes, capital
punishment was abolished in Rhode
Island In 1852, no execution having
occurred since that year. The law pro.
vides, however that the death penalty
may be inflicted in cases of attack
on keeper by prisoner already
convicted of murder public Statutes,
Chap. 240, Sec. 81 There have been
no such attacks made.
The claim that "the rate of homi-
cides Is much greater in Maine and
Rhode Island than that Of other north
east states" is not well founded; nor
would It be particularly Illuminating
II 1t were. Since the causes of murder
lie not with the nature of the penalties
threatened, but with the economic and
social status of the states inhabit-
ants. Rate of murder does not follow
severity or leniency of punishments
threatened for this crime, but it does
follow occupation, which is but an
other way of saying, economic and
social status"
Given the proportion of ignorant,
poverty-stricken, non-skilled wage
workers in a state, the ratio of hom-
cides to that population is already de-
termined, regardless of what penalty
is threatened for the crime of murder.

POVERTY AND IGNORANCE
BREED MURDERS


The Relation Between Steady Employ
ment and the Crime Problem
Revealed by Prison Statistics.
In 1909 the present editor of this
paper was invited by the president of
the International Prison Congress,
which was to meet in Washington,
ID. c., n October, 1910, to prepare a
paper on crime and It's treatment, this
to form the basis of discussion on this
phase Of the deliberations at the con
gress.
Combining ourselves to the causes
and cue of GRAVE crime, especially
homicide and murder we endeavored
to prove that murder was fundamen-
tally the product of poverty and ignor-
ance; That the elimination of these
two factors by which could
be accomplished by the cessation of
the robbery of the working-class by
the owing clas8-would result in the
abolition Of grave criminality as a
serious social problem.
To this end we made an analysis OF
the prson records, of the United
States, and proved beyond honest dis.
putation that enen and women who
have. even a sairly good education,
good homes and steady employment
at living wage, do not commit
enough grave crimes, to constitute a
serious social problem.
Seasonal and therefore migratory
workers, always homeless, often job
less and penniless, reared in ignor-
ance and poverty, these are the ones
who commit most of the nine to ten
thousand homicides each year In this
country.
A careful study OF the table below
gives the exact data upon which our
conclusions are based:
From the accompanying table It may
be seen, then, that If Maine, or Rhode
Island, should contain an increasingly
larger percentage of unskilled, and
especially of seasonal wage-slaves,
ignorant all OF, the time and destitute
some OF the time, they would become
the locals of a higher rate Of homi
cides." Moreover, II the general char.
acter and social status of a states
population is changed for the worse,
economically, and therefore socially,
will become more frequent,
even though the death penalty had
been abolished. In short,
abolition of capital punishment cannot
be offered as a cure for grave crime;
cessation Of hansings cannot be made
to serve In lieu Of social justice; In
lieu Of education, good wages, and
steady employment. NEITHER CAN
THE GALLoWs SERVE IN LIEU OF
THESE THINGS.
