There are many who will criticize
Judge Wood for expressing that opin-
ion. They will say that "a man in his
position should uphold the law. rath-
err than attack it, Yet it would sure
ly seem that a man in that position"
was best qualified to give an estimate
of such a law and that, unless we ac-
tually yearn for blood shedding, we
should be grateful for any expert opin-
ion which will help to do away with
such hideous legislation. When you
hear that criticism land you will sure

There is still another who can hard
.ly be rated as mushy or historical in
his protest against hanging. He is
Robert Il. Sims, warden of the Arr
IONA penitentiary at Florence, Ariz-
There's nothing soft about Robert
Sims. Life and the desert have both
put him through the sand blast. He
knows men. He knows the things
men do to men. He has seen score
of lynchings outside those gray walls
that front the ella river. And he
says that "A LYNCHING BY A
MOB OR A LYNCHING BY THE
STATE-ITS ALL THE SAME
THEY'RE BOTH MURDER"
Funny how many people beg for
invitations to executions, he con-
tinues in angry disgust. 1T almost
makes you hate human nature. go
through my part knowing it is my
duty and know ing I'm no more re-
Sponsible for it than any other voter.
BUT EVERY MAN WHO VOTES
AND FAv0RS CAPITAL PUNISH
MENT is A MURDERER"
There's man who deals out death
sentences and another man who exc
cutes them. Neither one believes in
the death penalty. Neither man would
vote for it. They are sure it serves
no good purpose. They are equally
positive that the men who do vote for
it are MURDERERS.

Yes or No?

Do Americans eat as much fish per
capita as Europeans?
.. Were wax candles really made of
wax?
>. Was shell shock as common
among highly educated soldiers as
among those with less education?
4. Is bakelike affected by acid?
). Has the expression nervous al
ways meant easily excited or timid!
Answers to these question may be
found
!. No. Europeans cat three times
the amount of fish per capita than
Americans 10. ..
.. Yes. Wax candles were originally
made of bees wax.
3. Yes. There were more cases Of
shell shock among the university grad
yates than in any other group. More
shell shock victims come from sol
diers brought up in the city than
among those from the country. 1t is
thought that the conditions of city life
tend to reduce the capacity to resist
severe mental strain.
2 4. No. Bakelite in insoluble in all
solvents and is not affected by acid
5. No. The original meGning of the
word nervous was courageous, strong
and spirited. more like the meaning OF
the slang expression nerve" today.

Its only another sob sister!"
For years that has been the sneer-
ing retort to any protest against the
official murder of criminal.
Don't listen to that mush-it's
some half.baked sentimentalist who
doesn't know what it's all about. Cap
ital punishment is the only preventa-
tive of crime
Time after time has such answer
rendered void the pleas and petitions
which would have abolished capital
punishment Nor is this hard to I'M
derstand. There's fine sturdy he
man ring about those wordS-a rcspec-
able, law-abiding flavor-an air of
common sense, of safety and sanity.
They make us ashamed of our pity and
disgust. After all, maybe these hard
headed people are right. Maybe CAPT
tai punishment is the only way OF pro-
tecting the law-abiding majority. And
perhaps we WE'RE hysterical and
''mushy" in our protests against it.
But now comes someone who cannot
under any pretext. be rated as sob
SlSttE VT uull-uuhcu Stl1llithAat-
ist." A man has stated his unqualified
disapproval of the death penalty and
this man is a judge of the superior
court in the state of California.
Judge Fred V. Wood has watched
the course Of capital punishment for
years. He has watched it, not with
morbid curiosity nor sentimental ex-
element, as you or / might have
watched it, but with an intense. an.
alytical scrutiny, trying continually &c
Justify it because he, himself, might at
any time be called upon to inflict the
death penalty.
1t was. in fact. after passing OF
such n sentence that he made his tire.
mendous, public indictment of thi,
law. He had no choice save to impose
the death sentence. Jacob Fuhr had
been found guilty of first degree muir
der by a jury which made no recon-.
mendation of leniency. Judge Wood
acknowledged that the verdict in the
case was in accordance with the law
and evidence but he then went on t.

FOXY GRANDPA'S STORIES
Bobby Thinks He Finds Good Pillow.

We were on our way up the Amazon
river down in Brazil and when you 60
up that river you are really exploring.
Every foot of the way almost, affords
interest.
1t was getting dark and our native
guide suggested that we might Ian
