Human Life Is
Cheaper Than
Horses N0W

Another bloody argument in favor
of the restoration of capital punish
ment has been offered, says the Ari-
zona Republican. Another addition
has been made to the long list of
homicides in this county since the
people voted a year and a half ago,
by way of experiment, to abolish the
gallows. The only result of the ex-
pertinent has been to cheaper human
America, statisticians Ihave figured,
is something more than $4,000 higher
than anywhere else in the world ex-
cept in England The price of a horse
in Arizona may be roughly and liber-
ally placed at 5000. Yet horses would
not be so recklessly killed as men
have been since capital punishment
has been abolished, so that we may
conclude that the value Of human
life in this county is something less
than 5000
The slayer in this case admits the
killing and offers in extenuation, not
self-defense, but that his victim ap-
piled an insulting epithet to him. That
has been recognized as a fighting ex-
preston, but not killing expression.
Reverting to the comparative values
of men and horses in Maricopa county,
the slayer would probably not have
killed a 5000 horse il it had bitten
| him or Kicked him.
If we had capital punishment now,
perhaps it could not be justly and
lawfully inflicted in this case. 1t may
! be that the killing was done in the
heat of passion and that there was
lacking that degree of premeditation
that would warrant the infliction of
capital punishment. But when one
carries so-called penknife of such
size and keenness as to cut man into
ribbons, as was done on Sunday after
noon, there may be a presumption Of
generalization. j,
I1oWCSCI tudC may Dcs tuS IFocOOlll
which has been given men with a ten
dency to homicide has cheapened HUI
man life IAN inevitable result. Though
the abolition of the gallows did not
legally affect homicide of degrees be
low that of premeditated murder, it
did affect them in fact. If the pun
ishment for the crime of murder in
cold blood were reduced, would-be
slayers Of all degrees not unnaturally
felt that homicide, in law, was much
less serious than it had formerly been.
There will probably be no propa-
ganda for the restoration of capital
punishment; none is needed. The
riot Of murder AMI lesser degrees of
homicide within the last eighteen
months has convinced the people of
the failure of the experiment we en-
tered upon two years ago.

=. WILCOX, Arizona, Sept 13.-Dust
whirls or miniature tornadoes, abound
on the desert mesas of southern Ari-
zona in the summer time, but they
seldom do any material damage and
are never considered dangerous. One
of. the most freakish accidents ever
recorded; and one that resulted fatal
ly, happened this month, when Charles
T. Candy. a resident of Wilcox, met
his death.
Candy, who had been out shooting
chicken-hawks, returned to his home
late in the afternoon, and as he was
not feeling very well, he lay down
on cot on the back porch. Before
doing SO, he leaned his = shotgun
against wire -trellis covered with
vines that enclosed. the. porch. He
expected when he, lay down to go out
again in case he heard any further
disturbance among the chickens, so
left the weapon loaded. A dust whirl,
one of those tempests that lasts a half
minute or SO, struck the house, push
ing in the wire and the vines in such
q manner as to throw the gun over.
The weapon was discharged and the
full charge of shot entered Gandy's
back. lodging in the region of the
heart. Death was instantaneous.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT

Applicants for insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the e.
tonishing statement that one reason why

majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they

Judging from reports from druerists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.

Hot Weather Poisons
Hit The Stomach First
How to Keep Your Stomach
Strong, Cool and Sweet

Hot weather always starts those

sensitive, sick or ailing stomachs and
bowels.
These poisons not only generate
gases and fluids which cause that

other stomach and bowel miseries.

Bean Cake as Food in Japan.

Bean cake. which is produced in
large quantities in South Manchuria,
has been regarded locally as good for
little else than fertilizer. The Man
churia Daily News now suggests it's
use as food, stating that Viscount Ia
jiri, the new mayor of Tokyo, holds
the cake as excellently suited to the
japanese palate. The News states
that bean cake costs only one-third as
much as rice, and contains more nu-
triment than wheat or barley. TO pre-
pare it for the table the cake is mixed
with an equal quantity of rice.-Com-
