In comparison with any other coun-
try, we have no troubles. We are

never blessed ancient Israel more
than he has blessed us.
1t would be enough If we we're mere

day we look forward with confidence
TO continuing our own peaceful isola-

We have not wholly escaped wars

them eve here, with alien influence
dividing our citizenship and menacing
our domestic peace. There is the
vague peril of Il foreign miltarism
which may threaten us hereafter, and
which now leads us to strengthen our
defenses. But these are trivial things
in comparison with what sister ma
lions are enduring now and will have
to endure for long years to come.
We can heal breaches in our do.

A LAW THAT
SHOULD BE CHANGED.

There are those OF us who shudder
whenever We hear or read of a legal
execution. and still we realize fully
that mere incarceration is not suffi-
cient punishment for the crime Of cold
blooded, premeditated murder. There
are men, who have no horror for a
prison. especially since il has become
the common practice to wheedle and
today convicts, and contemplation OF
a term in prison has little or no de-
terrent effect on them.
The last legislature of his state
practically abolished capital punish
ment. Life Imprisonment is the maxi
mum punishment for the most brutal,
premeditated murder where the ele-
ments of rape, robbery, or lying in
wait are lacking. And as 1t is a we'll
known fact that the pardoning board
Is most bountiful is dealing out par
dons and paroles. the criminally in.
clined have little to deter them.
No one will contend that crime
should 80 unpublished, and all agree
that the degree of punishment should
be commensurate with the crime. 1t
Is also generally agreed that punish
ment is no for the purpose of wreak-
ing vengeance, but to warn others a :
gainst commission of crime. It is a
notice that society will protect itself.
Many are opposed to capital punish
ment, for 1t has frequently occurred
that the lives of innocent men have
been taken. Even judges hesitate to
pronounce the death penalty, and
boards of pardon interrupt its execu-
ton.
A method of punishment should be
enacted into law which would incul-
cate fear in the mind of the murder
ously inclined, and at the same time
eliminate the sentence of death, to
which so many are opposed. Vasec-
tony has been frequently suggested.
but there is probably n better way.
LIE the person convicted of any of
the more heinous murders, those
which generally constitute the first de-
gree, be declared legally dead. Dis
tribute his property, If he has any to
his heirs; u him off completely from
all communication with the world.
even from newspapers, and let him
hear the voice of no human being eX-
cept those of others declared legally
dead. While he would thus be dead
to all intents and purposes, he would
still live, and If it should later develop
that he was innocent Of the crime of
which he was convicted, restitution
could be made.
This suggestion is worthy of exper-
iment and Il next legislature would
do well to enact such a law, at the
same time a%bolishing capital punish
ment. We believe that II would fill
every purpose, that it would be more
human, and that juries would not so
long hesitate to find a verdict carry
ing the maximum degree of punish
ment, for 1t would provide against the
contingency of later developments. II
1t should be found that a mistake
had been made. life and liberty could
be restored.
