A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY Oh that men would praise the Lord for Hi* goodness, and for hl* won derful works to the children of men. -Psalm 107;31. i . ,■■ — — OREGONIAN ENDORSES N. A. A. C. P.'S PROTEST Down in Arisona a colored man is sentenced to hang within a tew days for the mruder of a white man. The father of the murderer’s victim, it is reported, has been selected to do the hanging. To this, the National Association tor the Advancement of Colored People protested to the Gov ernor of Arisona. Editorially. The Morning Oregonian of May 14th. says: Punishment Is Not Personal The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the fundamentally right in its stand that in permitting the father of a murderer's victim to act a* execu tioner of the murderer the state is proceedings against policy, substi tuting private revenge for punish ment" The purpose of the penalties of law, minor as well as capital. Is de terrence. The “eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth" theory has no place tn modern jurisprudence. The state in civilisation ha* taken over the administration of justice precise ly for the reason that it long ago foresaw the cnl de sac into which private vengeance would lead us. Arisona would drop into the ranks of backward stales if it gave official recognition in even a single instance to the fallacy which it is one of the purposes of social organisation to cor rect. Only a few uncivilised tribes still cling to the notion that life is paid tor with life. The Indians who sought to impose this theory on the pioneer travelers, it is significant to recall, were usually persuaded to ac cept "payment" in some other form. The pretended justice of private ven geance has no modern upholders. When half a dosen culprits, as oc curred the other day in Louisiana are condemned to die for murder of one. It is because half a dosen committed the crime of murder, and because the safety of others requires that their fates shall serve as a warning. Oth erwise the execution of one of them would satisfy the mathematical re quirements. Respect for law is im measurably fortified by its wholly impersonal administration. THE ELECTION Tha primary election, May 16th, is history. The results of it has proven satisfying to the majority of the voters of the state. True, some real- lywgood and well qualified men went down to defeat and there may be those who are disappointed over it. But as the fundamental principle of our government is that the majority must rule, therefore we, as good cit izens, should accept the verdict and bow in humble submission to its rule. One of the outstanding Issue* in the primaries hinged on the question as to whether the policy and the rule of a certain organization should dom inate and control the affairs of the government of this state. It Is evi dent from the result that the ma jority of the people had become thoroughly tired and disgusted with the shameful manner in which things had been run in some departments, and as a result a general house cleaning was had and everybody who believes in honesty and fair dealing are fully satisfied. patron* all over the world, but we "Mrs. Lulu ' DeMoud of Portland. are told that the aativee of Africa Oregon, who is visiting her relatives will soon be given dally instruction* here.
