Mark Twain commented on the rolling

hundreds of miles below the point where the
Missouri met the Mississippi, and how diff

Missouri to mix with the muddy Mississippi.

From This Angle
The Power to XIII

Down through the centuries of human
history man has been given or has taken
upon himself many powers with which to
control his fellow human beings or if control
fails, to punish by imprisonment or torture
The story of mans inhumanity to man in
these areas is truly an atrocious record and
one which should make every human being
who believes in the dignity of man ashamed
of the human race
Men who have professed the highest prin.
cples have turned their fellow human beings
over to the lowest most british, and degraded
members of the human race for torture and
punishment. There is a cruel streak in the
human race which has been cultivated and
satisfied by allowing society to vent is anger
on the criminal element. Crime does and
should provoke anger in the citizen, but such
anger should not be used as an excuse TO
throw off the standards of decency and
morality of our society.
OF all the punishments which man metes
out to his fellow man, the most drastic, and
one that cannot be rectified is execution. The
power of society to take the life Of man can
be opposed on moral grounds. as some reIig-
ious groups have done and are doing.
Opposition to capital punishment may

serve as deterrant to the most common
crime which it is used to punish that of hoIni-

that there is no significant relation between
the crime of homicide and the presence or lack

gives the example of New Zealand, and two
states in Australia, Queensland and New
South Wales; in the first country capital
punishment was abolished and reintroduced
in the second capital punishment was abolish

retained. Mr.. Kostler reports that "the COM
parison shows that fluctuations in the homi-
eide rate of all three countries exhibited "a
strikingly similarity regardless whether cap
