WHY DEATH PENALTY
STILL HAS CHAMPIONS

Events constantly are leading to
discussions which reopen the question
of capital punishment. Developments
of what appear now to have been an
.atrocious murder in Minneapolis slim
ulate a sentiment against the existing
state law which never has been con
tent with its results. The proposition
of Chairman Swendsen of the Board
of Control that the death penalty
should follow the killing of a prison
guard for it's deterrent effect upon
life prisoners, will not be without its
supporters.
We have stood consistently for the
law which abolished capital punish
ment in Minnesota. We have opposed
70 'neth BeNalfv as b~arbarous in Ii
sels and d violation OF an elemental
nelple CT penoiogy. We ore in favor
retaining the law upon the statute
books.
But at the same time we believe the
law will grow in popular d~isfagor un-
less It is supplemented by an enact,
ment that will make q life sentence
for murder or for any crime which de,
mands the limit of punishment a real
life sentence. Getting right down tt

Representative Royal c. johnson
who took his seat In the lower house

a statement regarding his views OF
pending Legislation in congress. Ac,
cordingly today the News received
the following statement from the

in presenting to its readers:
AS to preparedness. will say thai
| am not ready to commit myself to

In my opinion the navy should be IN
creased until 1t occupies second place
among the nayies OF the, world. for In
no other way will the United States
be enabled to protect its citizens and
its foreign commerce. The present
standing army is not even an efficient
police force and should be increased
to a number sufficient to man the
coast defenses and furnish an ade-
quate first line of defense. | question
the so-called continental army plan
anG believe the second line of defense
should be taken care Of by legislation
which will increase the efficiency Of
the National Guard and through that
organization provision should be made |
for the training of our citizens.
Ion social and moral questions, l
believe the final decision should be
given to the citizens Of the United
States, and, for this reason, | shall
vote for the amendments to the feder-
al constitution allowing the people OF
the various states to say whether or
not they desire prohibition and equal
suffrage. | expect to give my active /
support to any legislation which will
establish a system OF rural credits. !
The people of South Dakota, however,
Will be given an opportunity to ex-
press themselves as to rural credits
by voting for a constitutional amend
ment submitted by the last legisla-
and an affirmative vote by the
of the state on that amend
will enable the state to establish
&c comprehensive system, regardless of
he action taken by congress. South
Dakota has sufficient and
credit to establish such a SYSTEM
