FRIDAY, MAY 20, 19 10
The Qulnn hanging in Washing
ton state last week was another
horrible instance of the brutality ol
legal murder with the noose. The
details are simply nauseating. If
capital punishment must obtain in
this enlighttned age, for mercy
sake let it be in a more humane
and merciful manner than with the
rope. A relic of barbarous times,
it should be consigned to the scrap
Eile. Sometimes it seems that we
avc not progressed, that the
shadow of the dark ages still hover
over us and at times envelope us in
its folds. The old Mosaic law of
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth still clings to us, and yet we
claim to be enlightened. Surely
capital punishment should be abol
ished or we should renounce all
claim to advancement, progress and
enlightenment. Rather let us
adopt the more humane way of im
prisonment for life. Who are we
that we should condemn a man to
death, that we should destroy the
life (hat God gave? It is one blot
upon the fair name of this grand
old state of Oregon that she still ap
proves of and executes legal mur
derand murder it is, whatever
else we may be pleased to term it.
It is strange how little things
sometimes attract and hold the at
tention of vast numbers of people.
The little comet that has been
gracefully Hailing through the air
on the wings of the morning for
the past week or so is a striking
illustration. Apparently no larger
and in many ways similar to a
small fish with n luminous tuil, yet
barrels and barrels of printers' ink
has been used in telling of its won
ders, the superstitions it has
aroused, and the dire results that
might follow in its wake. Time
was, thirty ycats or more ago,
when a comet many times larger
came sailing through the western
heavens, and because men with
nothing to do hut look for specks
in the sky were few and far be
tween, the phenomenon occasioned
but slight comment, mast people
