champion of abolition of capital
punishment, after a trial of less
than year Of the law, is back
tracking as hard as it can and no
doubt would be glad to see CAPT.
tai punishment once more on the
statute books. The criminolo-
gists of the country, who are
making an earnest study of
crime, never advocated the re-
peal of capital punishment, nor
the reduction of the penalties
in any criminal case, but there is
a class of disgusting sentiment
alists who think they are high
brow criminologists who profess
to believe all crime in a disease,
and they shower flowers and
sWeetmeats on the criminals, and
many women, supposedly respect
able, keep up a clandestine cor
respondence with prisoners con-
fined in Jail and prisons. Some
of this kind of correspondence
was brought to light recently in
an investigation Of the peniten-
tiary at Joliet, H., and all the
letters were filled with endearing
terms, and many were unfit for
publication. In the case of these
women, their display of crimi-
nality is a'disease of the mind, or
rather a mania from a lack Of
mind.
The Gazette quotes from a
speech from President Taft, in
which he says: 'As murder is
on the increase, so are all the Of
fenses of the felony class, and
there can be no doubt they will
continue to increase unless the
criminal laws are enforced with
more certainty, more severity
than they are now" The prin-
ciple trouble for the failure to
enforce the law with severity is
chargable directly to the law
yers, who have strayed far from
the high ethics Of the profession
to see that their clients get a
fair and impartial trial, as de
manded by the constitution, but
now resort to all manner of tech
n1calities to clear the prisoner,
even going so far as to give coun-
tenance to perjured testimony.
The lawyers are interested in
making regulations for them
selves as criminal lawyers, and
the greater the criminal, especial
ly if there is plenty of money in
sight, the harder the lawyer
works to free the prisoner, and
he hesitates at nothing to accom-
plish results. Criminals know
that if they can get shrewd
lawyer to defend them their
chance of conviction is > very
Slight. When the lawyers of the
country return to the original
high standard of ethics of the
profession, and give to their
clients full protection of their
rights, not resorting to chican-
cry and technicalities to defeat
the purpose of the laws made to
protect society, then crime will
begin to decrease.

SATURDAYS Sermonette
BY LELAND n. TRACY,
St. Clements Church.

this day Of fire and testing. To go
on our way as though there were no
war, as though modern civilization
were not at stake, as If the freedom
bought by our fathers were Of no
value, as If the ideals Of the republic
were not worth sacrifice, would be
to merit not only the reputation Of
the country, but also the reputation
of Christ himself.
Those who have studied the deeper
needs Of this land have felt that the
prime need of America is the develop
ment of a national soul, a soul SEN
site to the things Of the spirit
touched with the sympathy Of the
Christ, alive to the higher calls of
humanity, as our business soul has re-
sponded to the material advancement
of our age. As we are sensitive on
the material side of life, so must we
develop the spiritual sense, a respon-
siveness to God, to righteousness,
truth and honor, which will master
every other capacity that we possess.
The soul of America. This should
be our hope and guide in the chaos
that has come upon the world.
In all these centuries we have learn
ed but a fractional Christ. He is
mightier that we have believed Him
to be. He conquered through His
cross. Today the church cannot CON
quer save as the Christ did. With
out the cross, the gospel is a theory,
scheme for promoting human vel
fare with no more appeal in it than
any other leading to social better
ment. A church without a cross, a
church unarmed, unprepared, uncon-
secrated to the higher aims Of life is
just as ineffective as a gospel with
out them, g.
