Th Death Penalty
(Stayton Mail)
Thai Home of the awful crimes com
mitted ought to b pwished by the
death penalty teems right at first
thought, not only as a just punishment
to the perpetrator of the crime but to
deter others from committing simil
ar crimes, but at the same time when
one comes to give it earnest and deep
thought there is something very re
pellant about taking a human lift by
process of law or any other way.
There is a great high Power about all
of is that ihoutd be considered in
everything; a higher and greater Pow
er that we poor weak and erring mor
tals, and we doubt if that Power
would counsel us to slay a fellow
man, legally or otherwise, under any
circumstances.
Christ advecated no such doctrine,
yet murder and similar crimes sur
rounded Him even as they do n in
these days, and Hr, himself was 5 tr
eated. JTTie Lord taketh away," and
we believe the taking away of human
hf" is a prerogative not ours.
Were we judge on the bench or the .
jf-:r?nor of a state v... wouli ne j
sign a death warrent and issue a hu
man soul out into an eternity which
we know not of. And yet, were a
laved one of oirs to be murdered as
some young girls have been of late
years by fiends in human shape, it is
doubtful if we could stay our hands ;
even long enough for the law to act.
"But that does not make it right. We
are inclined to believe that if life
imprisonment could be made to mean
what it says, it would answer the Pur
pose about as well as the death penalty-
We do not wish to be understood
as having any sympathy for the crim
inal, for we have none, but the ques
tion is have we the right to take a
way a human lif and rive an unpre
pared soul out into the everlasting
unknown eternity which contains for
it and for all of 'is that of which we
grope, in uttrrdarkness ? Seems to us
that solitary confinement for life is
hard enough punishment to adminis
ter to anybody. There is no necessity
of pardoning them out; that could be
and should be done away with. Wall
him up for life, yes, but kill him not
ATLANTIC
FLEET SAILS
Great American Armada Off
For Southern Waters
Today
OLD POINT COMFORT, Va., Jan
8. A. P. The main body of the At
lantic fleet, including seven dread
naughts, 35 destroyers and a number
of submarines and auxiliary vessels.
under command of Admiral Henry B.
Wilson, sails today from Hampton
roads for Guantanamo, Cuba, for the
annual Winter maneuvers and exer
cises.
The fleet as constitutedis relatively
smaller than previous years, due to
the fact that lack of men kept the
number of pre-dreadnaughts, battle
ships, several cruisers and a large
number of destroyers in port. Of
the 10S destroyers attached to the,
Atlantic fleet, only 35 have large
enough crews to warrant sending them
to sea.
Admiral Wilson's flag ties from
the main truch of the dreadnaught
Pennsylvania, war time flagship of
the United States fleet The other
dreadnaughts in the fleet are the Ok
lahoma, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Flor
ida and Delaware. The North Dako
ta, recently at Constantinople is en
route to Cuba to join the fleet.
Despite the handicaps of depleted
and untrained personnel, the fleet this
year fares the most extensive and
comprehensive schedule of Winter
maneuvers in history. Particular at
tention will be given to working out
lessons, problems resulting from the
war and in giving a careful test to
war time mechanical innovations. Co
operation between naval aviation for
ces and the fleet, experiments in sub
marine attack problems and tactical
maneuvers under high speed, in audi
tion to the usual strenuous prot.-r.im
of target practice, are expected to
keep officers and men bjy night and
! day during the stay at Guantanimo.
