Murder in Minnesota therefore has
decreased since the abolition OF capital
punishment, although the population
Of the state has increased.
These statistics are a complete ans
wer to the argument that the restor-
alton Of the practice Of killing people
by state machinery is demanded by the
= increase Of crime.
/! Capital punishment has never de-
tered the commission OF crime and
never will. This is shown conclusive
| ~ by states that have the death penal
ty, and which now have greater wave
] of crime than Minnesota. Recent sta
tistics made public for the purpose OF
showing the decrease in crime on ac-
count Of prohibition, show that in the
city of Chicago alone, in 1919, there
were $50 murders, while in 1920 there
were but 1853. Chicago and Illinois have
the death penalty.
In Minnesota, without the death
penalty, murders in all degrees in 1919
were II, in 1920, 10; thus:
Chicago with the death penalty for
murder in the first degree, had $50
murders in 1919.
/ Minnesota, without death penalty
for murder in the first degree, had
eleven murders in 1919.
Chicago with the death penalty, had
1853 murders in 1920.
Minnesota, without the death penal
ty, had thirteen murders in 1920.
THERE'S no great difference in pop
ulation in Chicago and Minnesota.
This is not all. The supreme court
of Illinois in one day, Dec. FL, 1920,
handed down opinions in seven muir
der cases. The cases We're: People
VS.. Weir, People VS.. Casino, People VS..
Popovich, People VS.. Andrae, People
VS.. Brisbane, People VS. Bundy, Peo-.
pie VS.. Vinci.
In the year 1920, the supreme court
of Minnesota had no murder case be-
fore it. In the year 1919, our supreme
court had one murder case but not
one that could be punished by hanging
as it twas conviction in the second
degree. The case was State VS. Hen
roinnet.
The supreme court. of Minnesota, a
state without the death penalty, had
one second degree murder in two
years. The supreme court of Illinois,
a state with the death penalty, had
seven murder cases in one day.
Capital punishment does not deter
as much as some of its advocates
would have us believe. The principle
of capital punishment is to terrorize
to such an extent that people will re-
frain from committing murder. Ter
rorism and frightfulness have been
tried before, and in recent years. A
little over six years ago, great coun-
try started out to conquer the world.
The soldiers of that nation murdered
civilians, men, boys, women, children
and babies, and did it in the most
horrible manner ever known, for the
express purpose of terroizing the
world, frightfulness as it was called.
1t did not work. It failed as signally
and completely as capital punishment
has failed to terrorize in Chicago, Hi
nois, Ohio, New York and elsewhere.
It is strange indeed that just after

The Immigration
Question.

We have been hearing a great deal
lately about immigration and we can
expect to hear much more about it
while Congress is in session.
Alarmists who speak about the
great horde that is about to invade
our shores, evidently have overlooked
certain physical restrictions.
Commissioner Wallis points out
that fifteen millions on the other side
are waiting to enter our ports, while
Commissioner General Caminetti plac-
es the number at twenty-five millions.
In the first place, Europe is $4,000
miles away" and in the second place
there are only seventy-five ships of
all classes carrying steerage passen-
gers.
Figuring literally, these ships can
carry about 100000 passengers. AL
lowing one round trip every month
for each ship, it would take eight and
one-haf years to transport fifteen
millions to the United States.
Another interesting point on this
subject; with steamships crowded to-
day, there will be no larger volume
Of immigration this year than there
was before the war
The important phase of the immi-
grafton question is the quality rather
than the quantity of those who land
here.
Let us choose carefully those who
wish to enjoy the freedom and fruits
of America. But in the selection let
us not make the mistake of overlook
ing diamonds in the rough"

tattered clothes, may prove to be one

Less Murder Since
Hanging Was Stopped
Former Senator J. E. Haycraft in the
Fairmont Sentinel.

Former Senator j. E. Haycraft in the
Fairmont Sentinel.
It is difficult to understand why
there should be agitation at this time
for the restoration of the death penal
ty.
Minnesota had capital punishment
for many years, and for it's entire ex-
istence prior to 1911. Since 1911 we
have been without capital punishment
and therefore have good opportunity
for comparison.
Advocates of the barbaric penalty
advise us that it is necessary to deter
crime, that murders have increased ito
such a degree since abolition of the
death penalty that it's restoration is
demanded.
This would seem to be some argu-
ment for the law. The only trouble is
that it is not. true. Murders have not
increased since the death penalty was
abolished. Murders, on the contrary,
have decreased since the death penalty
was abolished.
Capital punishment has never been
punishment for any crime but murder
is the first degree; hence, such crime
is the one to consider. The following
statistics prove indisputably that the
crime of murder in the first degree
has decreased since capital punish
ment was abolished in 1911.

everywhere. There are some 400 ma

all supported literally, all doing eff
fective work for their membership.
Every big business has had a ma

Food spectators believe in organi

quit the Farm Bureau.
Our advice to you is to stick to the
Farm Bureau Federation. It is pro-
ceeding steadily and surely. It al

 She had not cried during the long vigil of the night, when a. storm had ragged in her heart, and had left her weak and sick with dread. But there was peace now, and AliX locked her arms about the dogs shoulders, and laid her face against his satiny head, and cried.

Distinctive Curtains made from genuine Quaker Graft
 I,aceS

To be able to select just the right style of curtain, suited to the furnish ings of room, is not such an easy matter. For women who desire a touch of personality about their cur- tains these Quaker Nets offer a good choice.
 Fine cobwebby Nets have all-over designs, some clear in outline, others in shadow effect. Many have deep in- laid borders which give an impression of heavy lace, very handsome in ap- pearance. These curtains would be most adaptable in living rooms and libraries.
 Coarser weaves show plain centers with narrow lace edgings, but there are many small geometric patterns with straight borders also finished with narrow lace. Good styles for bedroom use.
