ton; DIR. L. III. KrasIxin, Of 81. Eliz'

ton of the death penalty.
Barbaric Relic
Colonel Kenyon said the death

He pointed out that other countries
are far ahead OF Us In handling
this problem, notably certain Latin.

Robert II. Mcneil claimed that
"no law which arouses a sense Of
horror and revulsion in the minds
and hearts Of people, as that Of the
supreme penalty, ought 10 be law

DIR. Kraskin argued that capital
punishment fails In not Graduating

It's abolition means that many Grim

Those FavOring
Favoring the retention OF the
death penalty were Capt. G. c.
Calhoun, William C. Sullivan and
Col. Robert N. Harper. Though
they argued convincingly, when the
votes were counted they were found
on the beaten side.
In Colonel Calhoun's experiences
''the criminal does not fear prison,
but he fears the chair" He claimed
that the law seeks to protect 20

Countries having stringent death
penalties, argued Sullivan. have Less
crime than those with milder laws
such as the United States. He said
there is too much "sentimentalism
here and that ''ir you're not COINS

all. why punish any?"
| Colonel Harper called attention ia
the fact that sympathy had been
expressed for the criminal and his
family, but not one word for the
family of him murdered. Forty

DEBATE SHAPED BELIEFS

A debate which he won by argu- ing in favor of the single tax idea against Socialism was responsible for making a Socialist of Victor Louis Berger, the first representa- tive of that party to be elected to Congress. When g young man while teaching school in Milwaukee he read Henry Georges Progress and Poverty" and became an ardent single taxer. Joining a German debating society he was designated on one occasion to uphold the single tax idea against a shoemak- CT speaking in favor of Socialism. The judges awarded the decision to Berger, but he said in his heart he felt that he had lost the argu- ment and made up his mind to study books on Socialism.
 Before I knew it, I was a So- cialist," he said in later years. T did not join the party just at that time for there was none, but ] helped to start one"
 Berger was another example of the immigrant boy leaving his mark on his generation of Americans and achieving a place of influence in his adopted land. From the time that, friendly debate aroused his interest in Socialism, he became one of the most active leaders in it's advancement. In 1890 he took over a struggling German Socialist newspaper, the Volkszeitung, and changed its name to the Wiscon- sin Vorwaerts. It had few readers and virtually no advertising, but boasted of daily and Sunday edi- tions. He met Eugene V. Debs in 1893 and always declared that he made Debs a Socialist.
 The beginning of Berger's real rise to influence was in 1900, wfen he started an English weekly in Milwaukee called the Social Demo cratic Herald. It was successful from the start and in 1911 it be- came a daily, the name being changed to the Milwaukee Leader. Through it's editorship Berger had
