In his efforts in j this direction he will have the support of people grown. weary of official butchering. Speaking of it, the governor says:' "Capital punishment should be abolished, in my opin ion, in this state. The system of paying for a life with a life is, in my belief, merely a relic of that ancient and bar barous doctrine of 'an eve for tin eve and a tooth for a t oth.'

It Is pot knowv whether bo wan bit. this or anv other state, that the average jury-shies at a verdict involving the sacrifice of human life. .Murder, from the very nature of the crime, must be proven, to a greater or less degree, by circumstantial evidence, and the average man, sitting as a .juror, hesitates before casting his vote to deprive a fellow being , no matter how degraded his condition, of life. The result of this is the hung jury, the failure to convict, and oftentimes, the cheating of justice, all of which means lessened safety to society in general and an increased drain upon the purses of the taxpayers of the state. "The report of the superintendent of the penitentiary submarine garden records lo cases ot capital punishment in the last seven and one-half years, the greatest number ever executed in this state during a similar period. This in my opinion, bears out the argument that the desperate criminal, rely ing on the reluctance of the average juror and the caution of the court in the imposition of the capital sentence, is more willing to take a gambler's chance with death for the furtherance of his criminal object, than he would be to face the greater certainty of a life spent behind the bars. "Helieving as I do, I therefore recommend steps to do away with capital punishment in this state. But in this connection I desire to urge that special and particular attention be paid to the restriction of the pardoning power for such cases. I hold that a sentence to life imprison ment for murder should mean what it says, unless post trial evidence should bring to light some glaring injustice or very potent reason lor change, and I contend that the substitution of life imprisonment for capital punishment should carry with it such safeguards as would insure in all cases that full justice be satisfied." Mr. West also goes on record for prison reform and extension of the parole system. lie says: "The parole system has been adopted by the United States govern ment and 17 states of the Union and has the endorsement of practically ovovy student of prison reform. Our courts, however, do not appear to give this law as much consider ation as it merits, for the records show that out of 1041 convicts committed to the penitentiary since the passage, of the law only 112, or 12 per cent, were given indeter minate sentences. Some of (hose who were given the in determinate sentence were repeaters, while many of those who were denied the benefits of this most humane law and sentenced for a definite time were voung men and bovs who had never before committed a crime. As many of those serving definite terms have good prison records'and by their conduct have shown vvvvy indication of a desire to lead better lives and become law-abiding citizens, it is hoped that the legislature will see fit to enlarge the scope of the parole law and make its provisions apply not only to those who may be convicted in the future, but to those who are now serving time. "The inequality and lack of justice which exists in our system has been removed to some extent through the ini tiation by (lovernor (Miamberlain of the practice of grant ing conditional commutations or pardons, but the state should, through the expansion of the parole law, adopt a i. . ii i i i I . i ,i illinium I'lMicv which wouui uuiKc sucn aciiou i) me exe cutive unnecessary and would also remove i'vov'y possible excuse for the abuse of the pardoning power. The exten sion of t lit parole system would be found extremely ad vantageous should the state decide to use convict laboi in the construction of roads."
