To the Editor: In Friday
night's Capital Journal you pub
lished an editorial on "Abolish the
Noose," and you seem to think it
was awful to take the lives of
Arthur Cove! and L. W I'enre in
that wav. The Hlble says, "au
ye for an eye nud a tooth for a
tooth," and ao say I. Now, Covell
n-t only, you might aay, took the
lire of his siater-ln-law hut coaxed
his nephew to do the Job and. In
ao riot off. him made a life prisoner
of the youth. In other would,
thing he might Just m well have
killed both hid victims with his
own hand. , as I figure, that that
boy 'a life had been better if it too
had gone to the gal!ow than to
apend a life time, aay of BO or 00
yours behind prison bars. And as
for I. V. I'eare, well, he got Just
what was coming to him. He took i
should pay for those with his one
life? Tnat a what oooze does, anu
now you say it's not Just.
God forgive me for saying or
thinking in this way, if It's wrong,
'jut I can't see us it can be. And
what if everybody who takes the
life of people in one way or an
other were all given prison terms.
Lots of them do not even get
life sente-nce, some only get uev
eral years. I want to ask, how
much larger would our prlsom
have to bo built to hold them? And
if there wero no hanging and put
to deaths in different ways, why
figure that people, lots of them
would never fear a prison term
but would not hesitate to tali'
lives right and left. Why th
would think that they'd give the
rest of their lives to take a certain
life. I say if people do not want
to be put to death themselves, why
then take someone eUe's life? The
life you might, take might b
worth twice as much ti your own
And to it has happened more than
once where two or three men hav
been handed for the life of on
person. I nay no. Let the one who
took that lifo l);l' for it and if oth.
era were with him, why they
should be given a term in prison
but to take two or three men '.
lives to pay for one, that's wron
again I say. I hope there will bi
others that can see my viewpoint,
as I only mean to be just.

To the Editor: Just a bit of
news about our dog; she gave
birth to (j puppies on the 14th of
April; three of which were born
bob-tailed. They all died but one
female, sho Is bob-tailed and In
good health at present. Last
summer there was quite a stir
about a dog around Sllverton that
gave birth to bob tailed puppies.
So thot I would let you know she
wasn't the only one in the coun
ty that could do it.
My dog is a sheperd. This pup
can be seen at any time. We live
4 mile above Silver Falls.
This would be a good chance for
some breeder to try and start n
breed of natural born bob-tall
dogs. MItS. K. E. MUM.IKEN

advised to hold the boozo reins
tight that prohibition can't be
guided, but that if the checks were
lo3ed tbntc or four per cent every

move obedient and quiet. Thin
advice reminds me of Hishop Tot

abiding saloon with prayer, and
Chicago opening a real bad saloon
with n thousand dollar licenfio for
the purpose of making the booze

number one cigar. "Well, I guess
th.it I can stand it if the other

thousand dollar raid, I will have
to shift the burden to the should

I'll drench them and I'll do my

I'll fix them with the cheapest,
vilest stuff, 'til their kidneys

though for every dollar that I pay
I have to kill a man." lr you can't
control this demon with dollars,
nor with prayer, of the three or
four per cent (a noax) we should
certainly beware.

airtight law has made us a nation

statement with the looseness and

about like tho study of evolution
