MURDER IS MURDER.

Harvey o. Church, the Chicago boy
slayer, was carried to the scaffoll
last Friday morning strapped to an
invalid's chair. He was more dead
than alive before the death sentence
was carried out. Physicians had stat
I'd that he was "mental suicide"
for he had gone on a hunger strike
43 days before and was in state Of
coma when the moose was fastened
about his neck.
This happened, not in Soviet Rus
sia nor in brutal Turkey, but in Chi
cago, in the United States of America
en- March 3, 1922. The. state of Illi-
nois had exacted the full death pen.
atty for the. murders Of two men. The
hanging was said to have been but
an official CEREMONY and alien lists
had declared the slayer did not know
he was being put to death.
If hanging is punishment for MUIR
der, the boy did not suffer the laws
full penalty. He cheated his execu-
TONERS. His condition has revealed,
more than anything that has hap
pened in recent years, the cruel bar:
barity of capital punishment. After
all there is little difference between
wanton murder committed by an in
dividual and deliberate murder COM
mitted by a state. Indeed, there may
lie something in the life of the indi-
vidual for which he is not response
BILE that may have lead him to be-
come murderer, but there is no hu-
man reason for any state in America,
in this year Of our Lord, to warrant
the existence Of cruel law that COM
pels, its officers to become legal as
sassins.
Murder is murder, whether it is
committed by outlaws or law officers.
Nothing but the brute in man or so.
ciety calls out for the taking Of hui
man life for the punishment Of crime.
The seed in the heart that makes a
murderer of an individual is the same
seed, held in restraint perhaps, that
makes another individual an advo-
cate Of capital punishment.
And hanging or electrocution has
not served to lessen the number of
murders. Do not forget that. The man
who wantonly takes human life in
such manner as would call for the
death penalty seldom gives a thought
to the consequences to him. That is
patent from the fact there are still
as many murders committed in states
and countries that inflict capital pun
ishment as there are in states and
countries that have abandoned it.
Indeed, there is greater punishment
to the murderer and surer conviction
at less expense to the state, wherever
the punishment for first degree MUIR
der is life in prison with no hope for
a pardon, not unless the state is as.
sured that the man is safe to again
be free among his fellows, in which
event the pardoning officers accept
the responsibility for his release. Few
men who would have been hanged
had capital punishment law existed
in such states as in Minnesota are
pardoned until their lives have been
well spent in prison.

Stones as Diet

stones are commonly found in the
stomach of the crab eating seal of
the Antarctic seas: and it is believed
that they, with a certain amount of
grit are scooped up with the crusta-
cea from the bottom of the sea. The
emperor penguin, on the other hand,
shows an instructive craving for
stones for gizzard grinding pur-
poses; for these stones must he
assiduously sought, since these birds
never rest upon dry land but only up-
on ice. The fate of stones swallowed
by birds is not easy to determine.
Another unexpected name in this
list OF stone swallowers is that Of the
Lesser Rorqual. This is a "baleen"
whale, feeding upon minute crustacea
and fish. From the peculiar method
of feeding which is, so to speak,
forced upon this animal, 1t is unlikely
that any portion of its food is
scooped up from the sea-floor: hence
the pebbles found in its stomach
must be deliberately swallowed. and
it is supposed, for the purposes Of
digestion, or rather, of triduation,
They are hardly likely to be derived
from the fish which are engulfed, for
these are mostly herring.
