H. 6. FISHER SPOKE AGAINST
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

| Harry @. Fisher OF Denver, former
state president Of the Society OF Chris
tian Endeavor, addressed the members
of the Endeavor society of the First
Presbyterian church here Sunday
evening in opposition to the capital
punishment law of Colorado, the oper-
alton of which he characterized as
legalized murder. In the course of
his address Mr.. Fisher sa d:
I'm Canon City there is being work
ed out one of the greatest experiments
in human betterment to be found any
where. / do not know whether you
all appreciate il or not, but your city
has gained worldwide fame through
the work of Warden lyman at the
State Penitentiary. You need but LOOK
over the files of newspapers and mag
azines of the nation during the past
iye years to verify this statement.
, Aside from Judge Lindsey OF Denver,
there is no citizen of Colo. ado. more
widely or favorably known than Mr.
lyman. and the workers in prison re-
form all over the country look to
Canon City for inspiration and exam
pie.
Ch istian Endeavorers have always
been loyal supporters OF this work as
they have of other reform movements.
and seek your support tonight in an
other cause. Following the lead of
Warden lyman the Women's Clubs of
the state are initiating a law to abol-
ish capital punishment. Much inter
est and enthusiasm is being manifest
ed everywhere ] have been and pre-
dict this law will pass by a big vote.
Surely the Endeavorers of Canon City
desire to be a part of this movement.
Indeed il seems to me that IL would
be most appropriate for you to lead
the Endeavorers of the state and urge
the state organization to indorse the
movement
cannot understand how any Chris
tian can approve capital punishment
OF all people they should be the very
last to deprive man OF his life. but
should give even the worst criminal a
chance to repent OF his acts. The
truth is. most people have not thought
much about it. they supposed 1t was
proper because Il existed. but when
they stop TO think they are horrihed.
The state has no right to take human
life. Even the law itself intimates that
the act is wrong. for it expressly de-
clares that hangings must be held pri-
vate. beyond the gaze OF the public.
and no details OF It given to the pub
lie And when we prove that capital
punishment has not reduced crime.
that II has not deferred others, the
only valid argument in its favor is
swept away. Let us all help TO save
Colorado from longer engaging in
legalizing murder
