It is debatable whether capital punishment Is a deterrent
of crime, but there is unanmity of opinion that if ever a
man deserved hanging it is Dr. Richard M. Brumfield, the
Roseburg dentist convicted of the murder of Dennis Russell.
Few crimes committed were so deliberately and cold-blood
edly planned and diabolically executed.
Brumfield's defense was insanity and his crude attempts
to feign insanity and fake lapse of memory betrayed his
ignorance of the subject. At the same time it is questionable
if any normal person would or could commit such a crime.
Most criminals are sub-normal, but the fact does not exten
uate crime.
Brumfield is a moral defective. He carefully calculated
and eonsciencelessly planned the murder and get-away and
was without remorse after it. He was indifferent during the
trial and only the certainty of death by the noose caused
regrets he had none for his victim.
Hope gone, Brumfield's nerve failed. The man who could
deliberately kill an acquaintance, change clothes with the
corpse, extract its teeth, sending it speeding in his auto over
a precipice, then dynamite and set it afire to destroy
identification, confessed himse'f afraid to face the conse
quence of his crime. The yellow streak that prompted
murder to escape creditors, had recourse to the cowards
refuge, attempted suicide, to escape the gallows.

Not a Scrap of Paper
By its decision in the Phez case, the supreme court has
declared that a contract between the grower, the selling
agency and the processor is more than a scrap of paper. It
is a covenant that must be lived up to under penalty of dam
age for breech of faith.
Such a decision was needed to reestablish the validity of
contracts and restore the shattered morale of the berry and
fruit industry. The attitude of growers in holding contracts
to be scraps of paper nearly wrecked some of the largest
industries in Salem and forced reorganization and refinancing
as well as injured the reputation of the northwest in eastern!
markets.
Repudiation of contracts became epidemic in the era of
economic demoralization following the war when almost
everybody became inoculated with the virus of Drofiteerinir.
It was not confined to any one class but permeated the whole
structure of American industry, and there is no surer sitm
of the return to sanity than the fact that the contract is
again established as a valid covenant.
The whole business structure is based utwn irood faith and
repudiation of agreements undermines the foundation and
irequently reacts m ruin. Let us hope there will be

WISE ECONOMY
Often it is economy to spend money.
That is true about renting a United
States National Safe Deposit Box.
The cost is so small compared with
your possible loss by not having one.
Receipts, deeds, negotiable papers of
all sorts, should be kept where they
are not subject to loss by fire, rob
bery, or misplacement. Neither
home nor office is a safe place for
them.
