MIST MISTINGS COMMENT DEATH PENALTY Writer Presents Home of the Ob jections to In run ing the Death Penalty Subject ia Very Appro. rlnte at Present Time. To complete the somewhat sketchy notes which, through your courtesy, we have placed before the public, It is necessary to take account of the objections kept In stock by those who favor the abolition of the death penalty. In the preceding article we dwelt almost exclusively upon the state's right to inflict the death penalty; but now, In this proposed consideration of the objections, we Intend to re fute them and, consequently, to de clare ourself not only a defender of the right, but also an advocate of the expendloncy of capital punish ment. And many must have noted with satisfaction that, In your splen did editorial of Inst week, you your self used no "weasel words" in em phasizing the need of "Iron handed justice." Out of the horde of objections which In ancient and modern times linve been levelled against the prac tise In question we shall select those whut enjoy a prevalence even now. 1st Objection Statistics show that In regions where the death penalty Is enforced, as high as 80 out of 100 criminals are condemned to death. Therefore capital punish ment Is not, in the legal sense, ex emplary. Criticism: Whether or not the al leged figures are correct Is a mat ter to be determined by statisticians. Hut grunting that ther are. the con clusion does not follow. Most cer tainly, the death of the criminals cannot serve as an example to them selves. In order to reach the above conclusion. It would be necessary to make a census of all who had heard or read of the executions, and to thus determine how many had been de terred from contemplated crime, and how many also who, by such a spectacle of earsome justice, bad been Inspired with a horror of tbe gallows and would never be likely to court the hangman's noose. The statistics which to our mind com mand the most thoughtful study, are those supplied In the annals of criminology. They reveal an In credible Increase of crime and a cynical audacity among criminals In those places where capital punish ment has bceir abolished. 2nd Objection The public welfare and the good of society are suffi ciently safeguarded by depriving criminals of all chance to injure their fellow men, by condemning them, namely, to life Imprisonment. Hut whatever rights the public authority enjos, it derives from Its duty to procure the common wel fare. Therefore It has no right to in flict the death penr.lty. Criticism: A philosopher ought not to follow abstract and useless theories, but to consider established facts. All right reasoning is founded upon the known facts of ex perience and not upon wishful speculations. As long ns a murderer lives, he lives a hurtful member of society. Hut the public has the right to live In peace without tho fear of being attacked by murderers. This fear Is not removed by life imprison ment or by deportation to some isol ated Island because escape from either Is not only possible but has boon frequently efected, and further crimes committed. An i.et is the be ginning of a habit; the mr.n who es capes the consequences of a first act will almost invariably essay anotner. And a further consideration, one which peculiarly applies to the state ol justice in Oregon, Is this; a com munity which abolslhos capital pun ishment through sentiment created by a false senno of pity, Is likoly. through the somo motive, to curtail tho felon's torra of incarceration; ?nd whon it does so repeatedly, crime Increases as the Jonr of the law diminishes. 3rd Objection If crimes increase In society, society Itself Is alone to hlnmo. because it ought to prevent crlmo by teaching and sprcr.ding cbroad the culturo of civic r.nd na tural virtue. Therefore, society can net punish with Cie de-.th penalty, crimes which are duo to its own cul- nnhle neelect and carelesness. This rrumont Is advanced by Torombert in "his book. "Principles du droit politique." Criticism: This argument can be ralnrtnd airnlnst Its author, thusflf crimes Increase in society, society Itself is alono to blame, because It ought to prevent crime by teichlng and spreading abroad the culture of virtue Therefore society cannot nimiRh anv crime which is due to its own noglect and carelees'ioss in this rospect. This conclusion is not an' mltted by the author cited. There fore his argumont proves nothing. Society ought. Indeed, to enact wise laws, to provldo solicitously for tho moral welfnre of the citizens, and to hold forth ovory opportunity for the practice of religion, by which ell duties, civic, natural snd divine, become matters of conscience; If the state fall in these muttors, it is Mriilv culnable. Indeed: but it Is morally impossible to prevent all crime. The passions often corrupt men, and egoism blinds tneir reason and precipitates mem into omer wise unthinkable evils. 4th Objection It sometimes hap pens that an innocont man is con demned. ThU Is an arreparable in- 20 YEARS AGO IN SL HELENS Interesting Items Taken front the File of the Mist of December 8, 18tt HocUl, Political and Per sonal Happenings of Ilygone Days. Judge J. B. Doan Cf.me up from Rainier Tuesday to take a look at the new addition to the courthouse. Miss Marie Watts of Scappoose is acslstlng in tho clerU's office this week. The recolpts of the county clerk's office for the month of November for recording fees was $206.00. Mrs. Jacob George and daughter Annie, and Miss Kato Ramsdell of Portland, spent Thanksgiving with relatives here. At the semi-annual election of of ficers conducted last Tuesday even ing at Avon Lodge, Knights of Pythias, the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: C. C, J. O. Watts; V. C, W. J. Fullerton; Prolate, David Davis; M. of W Martin White; K. of R. ft 8., W. A. Harris; M. at A., H. R. Cliff; M. of E., M. C. Gray; M. of F., Edwin Ross; I. Q., Fred Watklns; O. 0 C. N. Gable; Trustee, E. E. Quick. Next- year wj may expect to read of something llko this in the dally capers: About 10 o'clock this morn ing a horseless wagon loaded with cowless milk collided with a brain Iocs rider on a brainless wheel. The luckless wheelman was badly in jured and being homeless, he was taken In a horseless cab to a home for the friendless. (The editor of the Mist 20 years ago almost accurately described present day conditions and It seems as though he must have had a vision of the future.) The bazaar conducted In this city Tuesday and Wednesday evenings by the Ladies Guild of the Episcopal church, was In every way a success. Three booths were conducted. The fancy work booth. In charge of Mrs. H. R. Cliff, assisted by Miss Grace Miles, contained many useful articles which were readily disposed of. The candy booth conducted by Mrs. D. Davis, assisted by Miss May Whit ney and Miss Lulu George, waa well supplied both evenings with delica cies In that line. Mrs. A. H. George Mrs. Cox, Mrs. Gllmore and Mrs. Swltior superintended the - refresh ment booth. The largo and hand some doll dressed by Mrs. James Muckle, was a centrr.l figure of at traction and was raffled off at 10 cents per chanco. It wsb Bold for HI 1.30 and was won by Mrs. John Gllmore. PHEASANTS PLENTIFUL Deputy Game Warden Brown In forms tbe Mist that the pheasants are more plentiful in the territory between Deer Island and the Mult nomah county line than in former years. He attributes this to the fact that the hunters have obeyed the laws relative to hunting end killing pheasants. Many of the hunters claim that the large number of birds Is to a great extent due to the excellent manner in which the state game de partment hr.s looked out for Co lumbia county and give Mr. Brown a big share of the credit for the way he has handled matters in the county and his efforts which were respon sible for the bringing of quite a number of these birds to the county. The state gr.me warden, Carl D. Shoemaker, has promised to send a shipment of pheasants to the county and Mr. Brown expects to receive and liberate them some time in Janu ary. The quail are very plentiful, also. according to Mr. Brown, nnd it is possible that the season tor hunting quail may be opened during the coming year. Mr. nnd Mrs. Fred Herman of Rrinler, paid ?. short visit to St. Helens Monday. . Saturday last was the anniversary of Mrs. Thomas Isbister's birth and ap arty of riends gave her a surprise party. The ladles or tne rongraga tional Aid society presented her with a beautiful cameo brooch. The after noon was pleasantly spent and the hostess was much surprised when delightful refreshments were served, such having been brought by thoughtful friends. Jury. To prevent such a calamity, capital punishment should be nb lUhed entirely. Criticism: This argument may also be retorted. It sometimes happens also that an Innocent man is sub jected to the disgrace of going to prison. Asido from the material damages his family must often suf fer from it, they are also obliged to bear the stigma and the loss of re putation which is always either wholly or partially Irreparable. Therefore, to prevent such gave mis takes, we should abstain from sen tencing anyone to prison. It certainly Is to be regretted that, occasionally, an innocent man is condemned to dosvth. It Is the duty of the people to select wise judges irrespective of their party affilia tions, and state attorneys who think more of justice and a square deal than of gaining a questionable prom Inence for themselves at the price of another man's reputation or even of hla blood.

Look Over Industrial Improvements and Are Favorably Impressed Prospect that New Depot Iay be Built in Near Future i Friday St. Helena was honored by the presence of a party of 8. P. ft S railroad officials. E. E. Little, as sistant general ' manager; O. E. Votaw, superintendent; R. W. Pick ard. assistant general freight agent; R. H.

However, upon being asked the direct question aa to the probability of a depot being built to take the place of the shanty now used, he said that it "might be considered possible and probable that after the railroad lines went back to private ownership, the railroad company might be in posi tion to build a depot at St. Helens." The party was taken to the ship yard, the new mill of the Island Lum ber Company and thev also Inspected the work being done by the St. Hel ens Dock ft Terminal Company. W hlle the officials did not state tha purpose of their visit.
