Dr. Clarence Truo Wilson Brands
Gov. West ns Soft-1 leaded
mid Sentimental.
PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 19. "Tho
Crlmo of Cnpltnl Punishment," was
tho tltlo of a papor, which read be
foro tho Methodist Ministerial Asso
ciation at tho First Methodist Church
recently, provoked a storm of pro
test, nearly every minister prcsont
maintaining thnt capital punishment
is not a crime, but n.socinl necessity.
Tho paper was rend by J. Wesley
Moll, Pacific Coast superintendent of
tho American Blblo Society, who hnd
apparently conic to Portland from
Southern California for tho purposo
of creating sentiment ngalnst tho
execution of four men nt tho Oregon
State Penitentiary at Snlom. Tho
snmo pnper, rend some tlmo ago
beforo a gathering of Methodist min
isters In Sotithorn California, bad tho
samo effect of stirring up vigorous
opposition to tho sentiments It ad
vances. Governor West wns referred to as
"soft-headed and sentimental" by Dr.
Clarenco Truo Wilson, who wns tho
first to reply to tho reading of the
pnper.
Dr. Wilson cited facts which ho
maintained proved Mint capital pun
ishment discourages inurdor, refer
ring to Austrnltn ns a country In
which nn avalancho of murders fol
lowed a tomporary ropcal of tho capi
tal punishment lnw.
"Had It uot been for the good
common senso of tho people of Ore
gon at tho recent election." declarod
Dr. Wilson, "you would noon hnvo
had Just such an avalancho of mur
ders In this state,
"I bcllovo In tho snercduoss of
human llfo, but rnthor In the oncred
noss of tho Uvea of Innocent people
than to tho sacredncss of tho lives
of murderers who tnko Innocent
Uvea."
A half dozen followed Dr. Wilson,
strongly endorsing everything ho hnd
said, tho gonornl contention being
that In executing a man who has bo
como a uicnnco to society, God's lnw
Is being executed.
THE PEOPLE'S fORUMI
Tho Tlraos will be ploasod to pub
lish lottors from Ita rcadora on all
questions nt publlo Interest. Each
lottor must bo signed by tho writor,
and so far as poaslblo bo limited to
rOO words. In publishing theso lot
tors it must bo understood that Tho
Times does not Indorao tho tIowb ex
pressed thoroln; it is simply affording
a means for tho voicing of different
opinions on all questions affoctlnc
the publlo welfare
possible doubts on tho question off
Eminent Domain? Hardly.
Tho now commission government
chnrtor for the City of Duluth, Ml tin.,
voted on Dee. 3rd, Just past, carries
a clause as follows: "Tho city
is Empowered to Acqulro by Eminent:
Domain nny Proporty It may need for
Public Purposes, In or outsldo of tho
City. It hna nlso power to acqulro;
tho Property of any Public Utility by
Condemnation." This Is ns It shouWl
be, as far -as it goes. Radical wrongjt
as they are known to exist, caused!
purely by Illegitimate legislation, caU
for strliiBont laws, rigidly onforcoJ,
rather thnn looso laws on unimport
ant subjects with no enforcement.
Slowly, but surely, It has dawned on
tho minds of tho people, that Business
conducted lllogltimntcly ns It Is, under
old and obsoleto laws, In tho mnklnfg
of which tho pcoplo had no voice,
must bo subordinated to tho public
welfare. Why? Becauso prosperity
In tho business district means poverty
In tho homes, with nil Its trngte ro
sulls, want, crlmo, dlsense, splndlo
logged children, babies pushed Into
tho cemetery, otc. Tho destruction or
lllcgimate buHiuoss, mil poverty It
Its wnke, Is tho Inevitable; result.
How Is It coming? Lot mo quoto yore
nn exnmplo In the following:
"Tho Supremo court has decided
that the stato cannot delegnto itst
sovereign powers, but must oxorclna
thoni Itself. It cannot delegnto ltw
power of taxation, Its pollco powers.
Its power to ndmlnlstor Justice, ntul
by analogy It cannot delegate lt
powor of eminent domain.
The powor of eminent domnln In h.
sovereign power exercised over nlli
the land or tho state, and In Ita exer
clso the stnto mny permit lndlvblua.1
uso of tho land for a beneficent pnr
poso, but It cannot dclogato absolute
control or tho land cvon in uso to nny
Individual, nnd it cannot nutborlxu
any Individual to exclude nny one
from lnnd which Is uot used. Thw
stnto only enn do ho. (moaning thu
Federal authority). Under tho con
stitution, nn Individual, Is not per
mitted to violate the oqunl rlghtH oC
across to land, but tho Htnto by 11k
lnwa, sanctions such vioIatlonH oC
right. By permitting land to bo pur
chased for speculation nnd not usoI
by tho purchaser, tho stnto legalizes
robbery, through exactions of rout
nnd profits on salo: and by taxing un
used land, it licenses potential rob
bory. "For tho sako or social order
and respect ror law, the statu cannot:
afford to vlolato tho constitution, niuT
Ignore tho deejslon or tho Su promt
court. Hence rent also Is mogul."

ANTI-SUFFRAGIST IS
ELECTED TO COUNCILS
Do tho Cities or Oregon Possess the
Right of Eminent Domain? Homo
Rule Should Glvo It In Them.
Mnrshnold, Orrogon, Dee. 14, 1912.
Editor Coos Bny Tlmea:
Your article In yesterday's Issuo of
"Tho Times" under "Rights or Cities
In Oregon," covering McMlnnvllIo
Cnso aftor Special Election, raises tho
question of Rights of Eminent Do
mnln in tho City of Marshfield.
It has novor boon tho cnso nnd nnt
urally la not to bo expected thnt tho
courts of Orogon, or olsowhoro, nro
going to render Just nnd unblnsed de
cisions whoro theso snmo courts hnvo
been enriched by rendering blnsod
and unjust decisions in fnvor of cor
porations, theroby receiving n lnrgo
porcontngo or tho booty. Tho "Llon'a
Sharo" or courso, romalnlng with tho
corporation.
Their statement thnt "n innjorlty
of this court has novor held that a
city has tho authority, by vlrtuo or
tho constitutional nmondmont last al
luded to, to condomn lands outsldo
or tho city limits," Is but another or
their samo "bluffs", Supposo they bad
"hold" that does not mako It nuthor
atlvo, nolthor decisive On tho con
trary, they say," Wo "hold" that with
out "express leglslatlvo" authority
granted to all cities of tho samo clans
It has neither powor to condomn lnnd
for municipal purposes, nor nny othor
extra loglslatlvo authority whatovor.
In tho absonco of such permission,
etc, Who Is It so blind as not to
understand this wording nnd what
govorns It. Do the courts still reel
that tho peoplo or Orogon nro going
to rest on their decisions? Do thoy
think thoy havo heard tho last of
McMlnnvllIo?
The courts of Orogon, or hotter
said, tho money behind thorn, will bo
wlso to hood tho Earth's Tromora,
but tho tlmo has passed, howovor.
Even now It is too Into for thorn to
recover tholr lost ground.
