THE ENEMIES OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

VxvEN the late wife the murdered Snyder and her accom-
w pee in crime put death in the electric char at
Sing Sing last the usual cutlery against capital
punishment which invariably follows such executions OF which
the fun and horrible details given to the public prints The
basis Of this cutlery lies sympathy for the criminals who
were p To death the fact that there are some OF us VINO
believe that civilization reached stage where the taking OF
human life in penalty degree murder is relic OF day
Of barbarsm that past and There will always be enc
mics of capta punishment and there will always be those VINO
bitterly and unswervngy oppose its abolition We are OF the
first class The spectacle Of human life being taken by he
hangmans Moose an electrical machine firing squad VIII
always remain to as privilege permitted by the basic laws
of the society in which we live
However one may opposed capital punishment and still
realize that until the laws of the nation in many
other directions considerably revised Murders of the type
of the SNYDER would possibly decrease in number not
the offenders in many Of crime allowed to free
with small penalty penalty at all There muir
derer walking the Of the country today who prob
ably as guilty brutal crimes that for which Mrs Snyder
and paramour paid the penalty Our laws and our punish
ents regard killings have become almost rdculousy lax
and ineffective Mrs Snyder and her assistant killer happened
TO be in the imeght The public took part in their judgment
In where the public interest not aroused sufficient
y the frequently free gets with light
sentence The wholesale pardonng of murderrs and assas
is in itself already national disgrace Severe penalties for
those crimes which the classes just below that of murder
and homicide might believe reduce the percentage of muir
der reduction the high percentage Of murder might lead
70 the abolition capital punishment The truth of the matter
is that capital punishment will fulfil the ends of complete
Justice the whole judicial treatment of criminals today

COMMUNICATION

To the Editor Of The Patriot:
In reporting the recent recovery OF
a body from the river at North eros
venordale, | was interested TO see
that both local papers referred 70
that stream as the 'Maanexit.
This is quite surprising. | have
never heard il called anything but
French River" by which name il
has been known for over 200 years
and by whiehsit is designated on all
maps.
What authority or reason, if any,
Is there for this arbitrarily shifting
this ancient place-name2
ANTIQUARIAN.
After consulting a map Of Con
necticut we have to admit that Anti
quarian" is correct although in Web
ster the stream is known both as the
Maanexit and French river.

BENEFIT BASKETBALL GAME TOMORROW

Not that the Army and the Seward High School basket ball teams can be kened to the situation find in Julius Caesars Commentaries wherein Caesar quelled incl pent utny in his ranks prior to entering battle with the Germans, but the oherhand find there panic visible in the ranks of the two local basketball teams who will face another tomorrow evening in benefit game from which the proceeds will flow into the sadly depleted cash box of the Seward Athletic Club
 Both teams striving to give their very best in the game and to that end the Army squad especially, have been practicing without etup for period of three weeks The High School five have been in the pink for many weeks but nevertheless have not neglected work ing out regularly Both scrappy teams and the fans without doubt should certainly get for their coin
 But to make long story short the Athletic Club is dire need of funds and for that this editorial is written endeavor to have the good folk of Seward turn out Zen masse and help the Club out of bad nan cal hole That's the truth of the whole matter But have it upon the good authority of the coaches the spec tators will witness mighty interesting game
 Bring noise making instrument; it will add alot to the fun.
