Capital Punishment

The people of Arizona have behaved with decency forbearance toward the anti capital punishment law. They permitted it's enactment two years ago against the better, though unexpressed, judgment of a majority of the people Against strenuous paign by the advocates of nti-capita punishment there was opposition Some candidates for office made it part of their campaign. Not a word spoken against it by any candidate any public speaker. Newspapers which had vigorously opposed the proposition two years before temporarily with drew their opposition
 The Republican, perhaps, voiced the sentiment of great majority of the voters. It deprecated the taking of human life by the process of law if it could be avoided. It agreed that if capital punish could be abolished and society could still be protected it ought to be abolished In some states ant-captal punishment had seemed to be effective. We rather doubtful whether it would be effec- tive in Arizona but willing to make an experiment and give it trial.
 That the general attitude of the voters who were not out and out advocates of capital punish ment and who voted on the question at ar A very large number of the did express themselves this question, and by a very slender majority of the votes cast thereon the experiment was voted
 We think there be doubt in the mind of no that the experiment has failed. There never before in the history of Arizona such orgy of homicide that which has marked the last two years. beginning almost with the formal procama- ton that capital punishment had been abolished In this county, early in December of that year. there particularly revolting murder followed by others of various degrees of hideousness, until now we have had of homicides
 There can be no doubt that it was the absence of fear of the gallows that led the commission of of these crimes. What has been true of this county has in some measure been true of of the other counties.
 The eagerness with which people have signed the petition for the restoration of capital punishment is indicative of the general sentiment the experi ment has been failure
