For example, there are waves oi crime even in stable popu lations, and in other populations the avoid the excesses of sentimental ity. "Three classes of arcunu-nts some times heard against the death pen alty might be roughly denominated, respectively. Christian, psyrholopi cal. humanitarian. Those advanc.ng the first ask how a Christian can advocate the death penalty, which seems contrary to the teachings of mercy set forth by Jesus Christ. Jesus condemned private vengeance, not the vengeance of the civil law. Besides, a Christian accepts the Old Testament as well as the New. Some seem to have lorgotten that when human government was established under Noah and his sons, God or dained that "Whoso sheddeth man's blood! by Man hall his blood be Fhd.' den. 9:6. This has never Lt-n repealed. It was not a 'Jewish ordinance. It was promulgated cen turies before there was a Jew on earth, and was for all mankind. Testament In Quoted. "Th psychological argument (not advanced, however.-by sound psy chology is that aU criminals ar simply mentally sick and fhould be coddled and cured, not electrocuted. Those wh) have practically dealt with crime say there are three class es of criminals: 1 th mental de fective who is dangerous; (2) th wilful and wicked miscreant, and (3) the careless youth who unin tentionally develops into a criminal. The first clnss should be treated, but when It is proposed. for exam-pie. to sterilize them, as great a protest arises as if it were proposed to hang them. If. treatment can reach them, well ami ood. It it cannot, how many wishtheir loved ones exiosed to even 'the remote possibility ot their criminal out break The second class must take their p-unishment 'for reasons al ready set forth. The third class ap peals to men's sympathies every where, and juries may be depended upon, under this proposed amend ment and thr- humane administration of our criminal laws to oeal rightlv with the individual cases as they arise. "The humanitarian argument Is that the mere infliction or the death penalty is brutal In itself, and that sometimes there is a miscarriage of justice and an Innocent man suf fers death. The proposed amend ment leaves the method of Infliction of the penalty to the legislature, and under modern methods he brutal ity la largely removed. As to the possibility of a miscarriage of jus tice, under the discretion given the jury, as already explained, this can be reduced to practically zero. Even under the old law the chance of an innocent man hanging, as compared with the chance of a guilty man escaping, was about as one to seve ral hundred. Life Held Kacrecl. "While the finer sentiments of the human race strongly oppose bru tality, in all its forms and the thought of capital punishment brings to the human mind the thought of brutality and arouses the finer sen timents let us not be weekly sen timental.

I'nder this proposed amend ment a person who wiUuily commits murder writes his own doom the state merely executes Ihe Judg ment." The amendment providing for re storing carnal punishment in Ore gon will lw submitted to the voters at the special election on May 21 Arguments against Jhe death pen alty also will be printed in the vot ers pamphlet prior to the election.
