Have Less Homicides. “Let us now consider the twenty states which these statistics show have the lowest number of homicides per capita. Among these twenty are all the states but one (Kansas) that have abolished capital punishment. The federal statistics, to my mind, show +that capital punishment has failed to act as a deterrent, and that in the states where it has been abolished there is a less per capita of homicdes than in the states where it has been retained. “Up to 1913, six states had abolish- ed capital punishment, Washington followed in that year. The United States statistics of 1910 show that five of these are among the twenty with the lowest per capita of homici- des, each with a percentage less than .08 in each 10,000 of population The other non-capital punishment state— Kansas—had the same per capita of homicides as 1llinois and Maryland, both capital punishment states. 651 Homicides in 1910. “Illinois was disgraced by 651 hom- icides in 1910, after a century of enforcement of capital punishment. which in Wisconsin, where it had been abolished, the homicides have not been much cver fifty per cent., per capita, of those committed in Illinois. “Christianity long ago revoked the doctrine of a tooth for a tooth, and an eye for an eye.

Does Not Decrease. ‘Society becomes criminal when it seeks, by violence and the blood of its victims, to right a wrong com- mitted against it by such product of of its own neglect. For this class we cannot conceive of execution perform- ing any function. The hanging of hundreds or thousands of them, even massacre of their young would not de- crease the crime that springs from the slums and the tenements, so long as the slums remain under the tole ance of an intelligent society. “Another evidence that execution is not effective is afforded in the records of lynchings and mob vinlence Whether these have occurred in the North or in the South, they have not had any apbpreciable influence in re- ducing crime of the character which | aroused public fury burnings at the stake T common today.
