alty for murder. Such a system is nothing more or less than the sublimination of class legislation and of discrimination based upon caste. The ignorant, the obscure and the improvident become most often the victims of the hargman, while the educated, the influential and the affluent usually suffer only the minimum penalty.
 "There remains one argument which is advanced in support of the death penalty, which as yet has received but casual mention. It is the contention that legal executions are advisable for the purpose of decimating the mur- derously inclined and 50 eventual ly eliminating from the race those types of individuals who possess dangerous criminal tendencies"
 No Line of Demarcati0n
 "The fallacy upon which thig ar- gurnent is based is 50 apparent that a paragraph or two will dis miss 1t. To admit of its tenability is to accept the assumption that criminals, and particularly mur- derers, belong to 2 certain well- defined class separated from their fellowmen by a conspicuous line of demarcation. The absurd ity of such premise is manifest to anyone who has had oppor- tunity to come in contact with and observe offenders against the law, and especially such as are guilty of homicide. With 6 few excep- tions of vicious types, which are criminally degenerate, and which. in many instances, are fitting sub- jects for an insane asylum, the men and women who commit homicide are not radically differ ent from other people, with whom we associate from day to day, and in numerous instances, to accord respect and companionship, such as forms part of human relation ship"
 In another article 1t will be shown that capital punishment is Q great economic loss to the state. as the value of the killers labor for the rest of his life is thrown away.
