CONCERNING CAPITAL PUNISH MENT. THERE HAS HE EN much discussion of the capital punishment question recently, discussion which lias left the matter just where it started, those believing in it still doiii( so, those ob jecting to it, still more firm and vocif erous in their objections. In view of the little social function at Hie prison tomorrow with tho Humphreys as guests of honor, ami for which invita tions aro out, at least to tho newspaper fraternity, a brief resume of the subject may not be very inappropriate. Why do wo inflict tho death penalty 1 Is it a punishment, a deterrent to others by example or a matter of safely to the public? H must bo one, of the three or it is indefensible. If it is for punishment It may well bo doubted if it is equal to life imprison ment, with tho pardoning power remov ed and nil liopo of freedom forever cut off. To tho intelligent man this, it strikes us, would bo Immeasurably worse than death, To tho ignorant, do based, animal, tho defective, tho per vert, it might not seem that wny, but is it not true that men of this class, moral perverts aro in a sonso blameless! Are they not in a class that, while not per haps to tho same degree, should yet bo looked upon ns irresponsible, the same as the idiotic or insanet That is a question we must all nnswer, and nnswer in the negative If we insist on capital punishment for that class. Then the question comes up: Is capi tal punishment a deterrent? From the remotest ages tho lime to which the memory of man runneth not to tho con trary, death has been tho world's pen alty for murder. Hns It put n stop to murder! Has it decreased it? Are there not ns mnny murders now, or more in proportion to our population, than there wero 20, SO or an 100 years agof Tho answer is, yes. With an ex periment extending over several thou sand years at least, that has utterly I failed of results, con capital punish ment be considered as a deterrent of iniirdert In tho snino paper in which you rend of an execution, you will cer tainly find an account of a murder or many of them. And between execu tions, in those samo papers you can read of countless other murders. While here in Salem the Humphreys nre to morrow to pay the penalty the law has affixed to the crime of murder, the pa pers all over the country today and to morrow, too, nnd on all subsequent days will hnve In their telegraphic news, stories of brutal murder. Since the Humphreys have been sentenced, since the triple hanging here a short time ngo, there linve been a dozen murders here in Oregon, ( an we then honestly say that capital punishment acts at all ns a deterrent t When a man hns murder in his heart be ilues not stop to consider the punish ment. If he has plenty of money, he thinks, iitnl generally very properly, Hint he can dodge the extreme penalty, at least, and If be Is naturally a crim inal, bis brute cunning tells him he i nn avoid discovery. If he is of the crimin al class alluded In, lieni so, he is proba bly in. :iml,le (if louli.ing Hie emirmitv of his offense, nnd the punishment be ing of Hie reunite future is howiiid bis couipreheiisioii. A criminal liuit horn in a man is as much "a gift " though a left handed nud unfortunate one, ns Is that of go nilis. The bum criminal is moved to crime as the artist to put mi canwis the glowing beauty that rivals nature's lii, esl creations, the poet to reduce, to put ill rhythmic sentences Hi,. Inl'tiel (bought; the composer In bind with LADD & BUSH, Bank ers THANH ACTS A (iEEIIAL IIAMilMl M'SINESS. SAFETY DK l'ONIT I10XES. TRAVELERS' CHECKS silken bniulnges the divine spirits of 'Ilann Miy and make them slaves for the service and gratification of mankind. Is Iho criminal any more to blamo for following his "(iodgiven " (if you please) instincts? If not, why punish him by depriving him of life, while so ii any bad poets nnd v orso musicians go free! As for tho protection of humanity, well a sentence for life, close confine ment Willi no hone of pardon does that iiist os wi ll. And thorn you are. Tho Capital Journal is not objecting to capital punishment, but ratlier point ing out that it certainly docs not ac complish results other than the putting out of tho way the one victim, tho one criminal. Nor does it believe that stop ping capital punishment will stop crime. We deal with effects, not cnuses, and if capital punishment is ever to accom plish what its advocates claim for it, it will be when we have n system by which tho youth are examined, and if found to be of tho criminal class, exe cuted before they commit, crimes, or beget more criminals. IS SHE JUST FLIRTING? THE TKLKClnAM Wednesday hnd B brief editorial commending Carko county for its pluck in pledging it self to raiso the money for its portion of the cost of bridging the Columbia. It is nontt of our pie and we are not in the habit of butting into other people's affairs, at least not any further than our conscience permits or our inclina tion suggests. It strikes us, though, ns a disinterested outsider, that C'lnrko county can well at ford to make tho ox- I lilurn for she has everything to gain ami nothing to lose. As a cold blooded business proposition Clarke county in general ami Vancouver in particular are dead right. They realizo ns we all do that Portland Is to bo tho metropolis of tho northwest, nnd by tho building of this bridge, Vancouver gots in close touch with her, becomes in fact a suburb. With street car lines, and tho handy auto, Vancouver with tho bridge completed, is only 15 minutes nway from Portland's business center. Vancouver is one of tho most beautiful natural townsites on the coast, nnd it goes without saying that thousands of Portland business people will build resi dences there. Will this prove benefi cial to Portland or otherwise! It strikes us that tho Vancouver view of the bargain is roseate, but from tho Portland end there are some clouds over the landscape. Vancouver will add to her growth, Portland will to tho same extent detract from her tax roll, and it is probable that Portland will get n better idea of the situation if they change ends on Hie telescope or look into the end of the one Vancouver has focussed on t Ihiii. It makes considera ble difference which end of the tele scope you look into. However, ns we stated it Is none of our business, nnd if our big sister down the creek wants to make goo goes lit the big buy across the river and join her fortunes with his'n, she has our fraternal blessing mid our full aud free permission to "ge to it."

Anderson, the chairman of Hi" special committee appointed by the council to determine what class of pave meat shall be used in tho improvement of North Commercial street, today sent, a letter telegram to EiUard N. Hiiies, chnirmnn of the Wayne county, Mich, highway commission, requesting on opinion upon tho value of tho different classes of pavement used in that coun ty. Mr. nines answered ns follows: "Wo have a light traveled street in Detroit built of concrete about 18 years ago, and still in good condition. Conereto streets in Bellofniitaino, Ohio, IS years old. Woodward Avenuo road four yenrs old, Wnyno county, with very heavy mixed traffic, In first-class condition. Wayne county has bonded for $2,000,000 for buildings roads, $700, 000 has already been spent for concrete roads, and tho balance of $1,1)00,000 will practically all be used for the samo purpose." ' Roglstered Voters Only. Registered voters only will bo allow ed to vote nt the special election to be called in September for tho purpose of voting on measures passed by tho legis lature and referred to the consideration of tho people of tho stnto in accordance with the Dnybill. Tho Gill bill, how over providing for permanent registra tion of voters nnd which will becomo a state law in Juno will allow registra Hons with tho county court any timo prior to III) days before an election. All present registration laws aro elim inateil by the passage of the Gill bill and allows nil persons who have regis tered with tho county clerk to rnntinuo to vote without further registration ns long ns they are residents of the samo precinct. The question lias been opened by a letter received by Attorney-General Crawford from County Clerk llilyeu of Wallowa county who wished to know who could vole at the special election provided by the Day bill. Under pros cut laws only those who are registered for the 1012 elections or those who havf subscribed to bin nil A would be allowed to vole. This limitation would como from the present laws which allow the registration books to open only during the even yenrs.
