Capital Punishment a Heritage of the
 Dark Ages
By IShDORE STERN, Member
 Pennsylvania Legislature
IE have outgrown the age when
 . law was regarded as a weap-

\,IE have outgrown the age when w law was regarded as a weap-
 on of vengeance to be wield- ed by the state against yiolators of it's laws. We have come to see that causes over which the criminal has no control frequently are at the bottom of his crime.
 We know that heredity, training, environment, education, all tend to influence the life of a human being. Thus we have come to regard the law in its proper light not as a thing of vengeance, but as an insti- tuition of correction. YOU CAN NOT CORRECT BY KILLING.
 The death sentence is the heritage of dark age and should be abol- ished. l do not believe its abolition would increase the number of mur- ders. On the other hand, I believe the substitution of life imprison- ment would bring about more con- yictions of real murderers than are now obtained in our courts. Jury men then would not hesitate to con vict where the facts show guilt.
 ON THE WHOLE, i DO NOT SEE A GOOD ARGUMENT FOR CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. SEE EVERY REA- SON WHY IT SHOULD BE ELIMi- MATED.

Solution of Food Problem Is to Pay More Money
 to the Farmer
By JOHN ]. DILLON. New York State Commissioner of Foods
 and Markets

\, IITH more people in the city w to eat and less people in the
 country to produce the sup ply of food must decrease, and the cost of 1t will inevitably increase. Moreover, the short supply will be more easily controlled by specula- tors and gamblers, and their toll will add to the normal cost.
 Is, then. the solution of the food problem hopeless? Not at all. IT IS A SIMPLE PROBLEM AND EASY TO SOLVE.
 Your first concern Is full sup ply. This must come from the farms. Pay the people who pro duce it enough so they will be con- tent to remain on the farms pro- ducing it. When they have pro duced it do not let the middlemen cheat them out of the best part of it and create conditions that make it better for them to let 1t rot on the ground rather than ship it to ysu.
 YOU CAN NEVER HOPE TO GET FOOD AT THE FARMS PERMA- NENTLY FOR LESS THAN YOU NOW PAY. YOU MUST PAY MORE.
 Give him a reasonable profit on bis productions and the American farmer will produce food to feed the world for years 10 come.
