deavor TO escape capture is the opin-
ion Of j. +. Sullivan Of the South Da-
kota Mail, Plankington.
Il am in favor Of such a law" he
stated. THE restoration of this law
would have an effect upon criminals,
in acting as IA check on the tendency
TO take lives in the endeavor to escape
capture. If the criminal knows that
he will suffer the death penalty upon
conviction of murder, he is less likely
to commit this crime
otto II. Froh, editor of the Roud-
Schau, Eureka, says he was never in
favor of abolishing capital punishment.
Reluctant acquieSence is given the
idea of restoration by w. S. Dolan of
the Grant County Review, Milbank, in
the following statement:
In reply to our query am inclined
to say Yes and No. DO not like the
idea Of taking human life. but in the
cast of cold-blooded murderers they
deserve nothing less. | believe IA ma.
jority of people in this locality favor
capital punishment
When the four ConVicts made a
break for liberty last summer. the
voice of the people demanded that they
be shot down ruthleSsly, according to
Eli Thomas of the Chronicle, Armour,
who says this sentiment applies to all
murders. His statement follows:
The Chronicle favors a return to
capital punishment, and we believe we
voice the sentiment of the people of
this section in the matter. At the time
Of the ~penientiary escapade when four
COnyicts made a break for liberty, the
voice Of the people demanded that they
be shot down ruthlessiy-and this ap.
plies to all murders. We hope to see
this law restored to our statute books"
W. 5. ID. Adams OF the Reporter and
Farmer, Webster, says he believed a
majority of the people of his commun-
ity would favor restoration of the law
for first degree murder.

death penalty are w. W. Moves, editor
