Gov. Baxter Says
Maine Will Never
Return to Capital
Punishment1Laws

A wave OF fntere9t IN capital
punishment seems to be spreading
across the country at this time, II
one may Judge from the nature Of
the correspondence that comes to the
once of Governor Baxter just now.
Several inquiries have been received
from different parts Of the country
concerning Names manner OF deal
Ing with capital punishment and
how 1t has worked out. To a member
of the Board of Education, Brook
iyn Heights, Cuyahoga County. Ohio.
reply Thursday:
II received your letter and am
glad to give you my views on capital
punishment.
In my opinion crimes have not In
creased in Maine SINCE the abolition
Of the death penalty.
I have strong convictions that no
one has the right to take the life OF
a fellow human being except to save
his own.
The state can protect its citizens
by impris0ning for life those who are
guilty OF capital crimes. and as Gov
ernor Of H. State I never would sign
the death warrant OF criminal. no
matter how fragrant the crime.
THE recent incident in Nevada
where n Chinaman was put to death
by poison gas was shocking and
never should have occurred in a
civilized community.
1.-THE objection that life prisoners
arc sometimes pardoned and there
fore escape punishment does not
carry weight with me. because L
have known OF several cases where
such prisoners were entitled to par
don. and certainly IL liz better to
occasionally make q mistake In par
doning % guilty man than 1t Is to
take the life OF one who was inno-
cent OF the crime OF which he was
charged.
"The state Of Maine was pioneer
In the adjustment OF capital punish
ment, and I am confident our peo-
pie never will return to that relic Of
mcdleyalism."

MRS. JACKsoN'S LETTER !,
Mr.. H. ]. Allen:
Dear Sir:-Your Lung Healer has
restored my 14-year- old niece to per-
feet health from the verge of con-
sumption. She had a severe cough
all last winter. which, in spite of all
we could do for her, seemed to take
stronger hold. She began to fade
and lose her appetite and strength
and to grow thin and pale. Every
breath of cold air caused severe
coughing. Her lungs became sore
and panied her a great deal. and she
coughed up great Jumps of phlegm.
We sent her to the country for the
summer, but she seemed no better
this fall. As her father died of CON-
sumption, we believed she was in the
grip of the dread disease. Hearing
of the wonderful work of Aliens
Lung Healer. We decided to give it
a trial. The results were almost
miraculous, as the cough was almost
gone after using one bottle and after
the second bottle she was entirely
cured. She is now perfectly well
and strong, has regained her lost
flesh, eats heartily and can go out in
the coolest weather without feeling
any bad effects of catching cold. All
this is due to your grand remedy.
which should be called The Great
Life Saver"
