BOW STOLEN , OR" HAS STRAYED AWAY THE HANGING BEES. A CI'jNTUUY or so ago, hf rionffoUl ntlorniMl every rrosa ivmiIb in inerrr I'AkIiuiiI. It wns oxten.sivi'ly tisod (o imiiili the petty sins of the poor. We have ml vimeetl so far in ultniifiin, that the sonffold has heen ban ished to the state prisons where it is I'reely eniployedto pnuish the poor who commit murder. At Snn Oiient in two men have been hanued in (lie pilst few days. Nearly a dozen death cells. At Salem, five tremblimr December V), when they will accoruinrotiio vcriuet receiiuy reimercti uy uh'micivi;ii peojile of Oregon. Superintendent Curtis of the Oregon prison who re cently resigned rather than hang any more men, says: "1 will never 'pull the string' on another poor devil as long as I live; I don't believe in this proposition of hog tying ti man and sending him over the river. To strap, blindfold and then slide a noose around a helpless guy's neck and deliberately kill him, after you have had every advantage in the world over him, is just a little too rough. Prisons havo literally beheaded men, torn the head from the body; other victims have dangled by the neck an hour before pronounced dead. L will never have anything more lo do with executions." At San Qucntin the warden shifts his hangman's duty onto convict?. Three prisoners are blindfolded, led into three closets back of the scaffold, each given a sharp butcher knife, and at a signal, each strikes a short blow with the knife, severing a cord. One of the three strings cut no one knows which drops the helpless victim into eternity. Other convicts have prepared and tested the ropes aud blindfolded, tied and placed the liooso over the doomed man. This system may ease the warden's conscience, but it is extremely unfair to the poor devils compelled to partic ipate. They were not sent to the neniteutiarv for minor crimes to be made official murderers. Tf executions decreased crime, there would be less out cry against them. But they never did and never will. They did not decrease petty crime in England and they are not decreasing capital crime in America. Statistics show an alarming increase in homicides generally in spite of the numerous hanging bees. Slack punishment, the trivial technicalities, the law's needless delay, are far more to blame than nnv other cause. Speedy punishment is usually reserved for the short and simple scandals of the poor. A sample of the law's delav is furnished in Texas, where Burrcll Oates, eight years after his crime, after seven trials, is still awaiting the hangman. All of the reversals were secured on quibbles none affected the merits of the ease. But even prompt punishment, which attacks the result, will not stoj the crime. The cause is left alone and the cause is usually attributable to social conditions which would bo largely corrected by the application of the prin ciples of Eugenics.
