pie. which ] fear God has ceased to
wink at. | am prepared to say Hur-
rah! every time the governor sus-
pends its execution. En-.

but do not and never have and
never will hesitate to antagoniZe a

writes a prominent lawyer. who has
practiced in the courts for many
years. The News inclines to the be-
lief that abolition of capital punish
ment as a whole is too radical a
change of custom to be attempted at
once, but the theory of leaving in
the discretion of the jury as between
the death penalty and life impris-
onment. and at the same time letting
it be understood that immediate
death awaits those guilty OF abduc-
tion and the nameless crime against
woman, is sound and would meet the
ends desired by those who advocate
the abolition of capital punishment
The truth is that life imprison-
ment carries more OF punishment
and vengeance, even, for those who
cry for it, than instantaneous death
in the electric chair. But the posi-
bility OF political corruption and
abuse OF executive clemency must be
'removed before that result can be
