Capital Punishment Necessary.

Two striking lessons for the study
of penology recently have been set be-
fore the people of this community.
Last week jury returned verdict
of first degree murder against the
last of the five wretches who con-
spired to slay Alice Dunn. This week
jury brings the same conviction to
the calloused criminal guilty of the
murder of Stacey CLANCY.
The question is whether the ends of
justice for the protection Of society
fully are met in imposing upon these
GUNNER life imprisonment-the limit
provided by our, soft-hearted statute.
There is nothing in these cases to be
considered but the protection of So
ciety. That theory of punishment
which deals with the possible ref.
orination Of the criminal is out of all
question. knowledge of the brutal,
remorseless murder to be punished in
each of these cases convinces one Of
moral degenerates capable of crimes
so horrible and revolving.
In both Of these cases law and JUS
tice fail unless the punishment is suf-
ficient to act as deterrent to similar
crime-to strike terror to the heart
of the potential murderer and stay his
hand through the fear Of the penalty
The repetition of murder and outrage
is the incontestable evidence that the
jinsufficiency of the Minnesota sta tute,
while it may not encourage yet it does
not discourage the gunman by the
completeness of the punishment. It
cannot be said with certainty that the
spectacle of the hangman's moose or
electric chair would have prevented the
horrible conspiracy by which the death
of Alice Dunn was purchased or
spared Marian CLANCY the agony of
seeing her husband remorsely shot
down by youthful moron; but what
may be said with reasonable certainty
is that the failure Of adequate pun
ishment lends to criminal intent. Pun
ishment that condones operates only
to prime the gun of the bandit and
sharpen the knife Of the assassin.
Society must be protected, but it is
not protected Imprisonment with the
hope Of ultimate release through the
same sentimentality which prompted
the existing law is proved inefficient
in reducing the crime which shocks
and terrorizes the community It is
lacking in exemplary effect. It arms
instead of disarming the gunman. If
the law is to lesson crime through the
power of example, the example must
be striking. The history Of the past
ten years in the twin city community
furnishes abundant proof that the
legislature erred when it abolished the
death penalty in Minnesota.-St Paul

worse than the state Of affairs which
now prevails in Ireland, and it might

The Irish Reprisals.

The following commonsense article
is from the pen of Colonel Harvey,
editor of the North American Review:
The Irish reprisals are atroclous.
They are at least as bad as the acts
which provoked them. OF course 1t
might be argued that they are not
quite so bad as the latter, because OF,
the intense provocat ton to them, which
the others did not have. On the other
hand it might be argued that they are
worse, because they are committed by
men who are specially sworn to re-
spect and to enforce the law. Let 1T
60 that both sets of outrages are
equally blameworthy. They are
hideous disgrace to civilized eoun-
try.
We have the very emphatic assur-
ance that the British government is IN
no respect responsible for the re-
prisals which it's police are making;
and we may well believe it to be true.
Irish secretary, nor any other British
official has ordered or condoned the
acts in question. Yet it is impossible
to escape the feeling, perhaps the con-
viction, that the British government is
burdened with large measure OF re-
sponsibility for the circumstances in
which all these things have occurred
and by which they have largely been
melted. Its policy has been uncertain.
not to say shifty, and has led directly
to the state of affairs characteristic
of such conduct. Lord Grey caustical-
ly declares that "The government of
Ireland has never been such reproach
and discredit to British craftsmanship
as it is today That is grave in
dictment, but it is made by one of
the British authorities.
Happily, Lord Grey is potentially
constructive as we'll as destructive. He
condemns Sim Fem, and also the con-
trary extremists of Ulster. But he
does not stop there. He makes specific
suggestions of settlement of most
practical and impartial character.
These have three cardinal points. One
is the maintenance of the indissoluble
unity of the United Kingdom in
foreign relations and in military mat
tiers. The second is the complete self
government of Ireland within that limit,
after the fashion of an autonomous
dominion of the British Empire The
third is the appointment of time, not
more than two years hence, when
British government will be withdrawn
and the Irish people will be thrown
upon their own resources for the in
sular admi1fis of their affairs
That is compact, logical, and, as
it will be seen to many, equitable
scheme of general principles for the
settlement of the Irish problem. It
is to be believed that if it were proper
~ presented to them it would be ac-
cepted by large majority Of the Irish
people. It certainly would, as it's au-
thor suggests, bring home to Irishmen
that sense of responsibility of which
Great Britain has for centuries re-
lieved or deprived them; sense the
lack of which has been the deepest un-
DERIVING cause of Irish disturbances,
>f Tx,el
failures to find solution of the Irish
problem
1t would be grateful thing to the
rest Of the world to have the British
government give such scheme a sin
cere and radical trial. The trial could
not, we should say, result in anything
