CAPITAL Punishment.

Along with a much discussed muir
der trial has come discussion over the
propriety of capital punishment ana
the right of the state to- inf1ict death
penalty. Those favoring capital pun
ishment score with the undoubted
point that the criminal is disposed OF
finally and fully so far as society is
concerned. And those abhorrlng cap
ital punishment say that legal1zed
taking of life has been used for CEN
turtles and has absolutely failed as a
crime deterrent. Both sides make
good points.
Illinois with capital punishment IN
cases of first degree murder has a
much higher crime ratio than Wlscon-
sin, her neighbor state, where capital
punishment was abolished sixty years
ago. Chicago has probably the high
est murder rate in the world. The
trouble seems to be that while a MUIR
derer there has a remote chance of go
ing to gallows the chances are he will
not go anywhere at all. In recent
years. various groups OF the Chlcago
citizenry have adopted the vendetta
system of inf1icting punishment, dis
regarding the course of the law. Need
less TO say, W0Gu the OuGu0G Ids OSOh
murder the reply of the vendetta is
DEATH" And death it is.
In. Wisconsin, with higher class
citizenry of Yankee and Teuton, we
have one of the lowest murder rates in
the world. The most murderer can
get here is life. He is reasonably sure
of getting his deserts in the form. OF
imprisonment. Corruption. and intim-
fdation of jurors are unknown here
whereas they seem to be the rule. in
illinois where more severe penalties
exist.
In England few centuries ago
there were:no less than 800 crimes a
common man might which were pun
lishable With death: 80 sf2de y4,-there is
but murder. Tie "Mosaic law

The trend in England over the course
of centuries is a fair index of the
barbarfsrn and to
ward humanitarianism. Some day we

the roads service and filling stations
sprang up. A new industry and an
entirely new method of transportation
came into being. The railroads have
been left high and dry with costly
systems and expensive methods OF
operation and no customers. Except
for long hauls and brief periods OF
rigorous weather everybody uses the
motor cars The majority own cars.
The sentiment now is one of indif-
ference as to what the roads charge.
We, the public, should worry whether
the fare is two cents a mile, four cents
a mile or ten cents a mile. We drive
our own cars.
Yet the country needs the rail lines.
In fact we can't get along : without
them. We need the roads. to handle
freights and will continue. to need
them. We will need the roads badly
in the winter months for passenger
service but we can't expect the roads
to maintain an expensive service Tor
Just "a part of year, going ::'Wlthout
passengers the balance. ~;
The trend from now on will one OF
sympathy toward the roads instead OF
hatred and batting. The country Will
grow to realize that the welfare of all
has a close relation to the welfare OF
the rail lines. Efficient transporta-
ton is a requisite of civilization. In
stead of batting the roads we Will
come to a keen concern for their wei
fare. seeing that invested capital IN
the roads gets justice which is all II
should have.

Farmers Race With Frost
to Save Corn CrOD.

Wisconsin agricultural interests are
conferred on the race between the corn
crop and frost. Due to the soft, sappy
condition of the corn, frost would be
exceptionally damaging to the crop
This wear. Wisconsin has 100000
;silos. and corn silage forms more than
40 percent of the use to which Wis
consin farmers put this crop, so the
monetary loss is not expected TO be
great. Agricultural experts declare
that thew are more concerned over the
seed corn prospects for next year.

Canse in Effect.

In a conversation the OCner evening
where drowning was the suDJect,
three divergent views were expressed.
One person believed in fate. GU
must go when your time comes, she
said. Another person believed in the
workings of Divine providence. I'VE
go when the Lord calls u.s." she said.
The third person believed in natural
Jaw or cause and effect every dis
aster has a cause. Every tragedy
or mishap coming to us is due either
to our folly, our ignorance or our ne
glect," was contended.
Natural law, cause and effect, is III
accordance with the law Of God. The
Infinite creates certain rules and we
must abide by them or face disaster
"**#A wise man, which built his
house upon a rock; and the rain de-
seconded, and the floods came, and the
winds blew and beat upon that house;
and it fell not; for it was founded on
a rock.
"*#*A foolish man built his house upon
the sand: And the rain descended
and the floods came, and the winds
Blew, and beat upon that house; and
it. fell: and great was the fall there
Of" 8. s.
Natural law is cause and effect. All
things bend themselves to this rule.

Honesty is Not Campaign Issue.
President Coolidge is making his
campaign upon the issue of common
sense" His opponent, Mr.. Davies, is
raising the standard Of common hon.
esty." Supporters of Mr.. LaFollette
go so far as to say that he has been
the only honest man in the senate in
IL wears. Whether there were any
o6her honest men prior to LaFollette
or whether they all crept out when
Bob went to Washington to let his
light shine all the more brightly, is
not given us.
IA Lately. however, Mr.. Davis has
agreed that Coolidge is personally in
corruptibie. John Mandt Nelson, Mr.,
LaFollettes manager, calls Coolidge
Fan honest conservative Which, we
think, exactly defines him.
" "But," l5you say, chow about LEA
pot Dome?"
The plain fact is that the rank and
file of kpnest republicans have not
.condoned{ for one minute any of the
corruption made apparent by the Tea
pot Dome exposures. They do not
sympathize with criminals or condone
their acts. They have wanted them
exposed and driven from public life
regardless of its effect upon the party
And because of their view the party
has not suffered materially from the
Teapot Dome exposures.
/, The Herald's view after thirty years
of. dealing with men is that most Of
tem are: honest The average will
run ninety percent. In fact honesty
.isfsuch a:common quality that no mar
need make virtue of it. No man
should make a special point of his
honesty. :. Everybody should be honest
simply as a matter of citizenship anC
Dsrsonal peace of mind.
FDther things may and will come VI
as campaign issues but not honesty
No man or no party has any mortgage
on virtue People who say so are in
clined to:an inflamed point of view a1l1
lack fine judgment.
r Let us; conclude that all three can
dihates are honest and let it go a
that And then let us talk of Other
things. i;
