W. Olson, chairman of the state industrial insurance commission and former labor commissioner. Yet let not his death lend itself to a cause which he, in life, would have disapproved. Olson was not the kind of man who demanded a “tooth for a tooth, and an eye for an ey Olson was not for capital punishment. He not for bloodshed, even under sanction of law. The state did aw with the hanging 1: in 1913. That law was a relic of barbarism. It is just as barbaric today, after Olson's death, as it was before. Two wrongs do not make a right. The state has no more moral right to murder re- venge than any private individual has. Let not the legislature be stampeded into any frenzied demand for a capital punishment law. It would be the saddest kind of tribute to pay to the memory of a man who strove to make things more human and less barbaric—and that was the kind of man Olson was. To repeal the anti-hanging law because of Olson's death would be to smear his mem- ory with blood. The state owes Olson a much more deserving mark of esteem. depth of regret in deciding a man's fate, should go|ty jail, the strapping logger talks away with the feeling that they car-|of ‘hia deed nr and cal ry his blood on their hands.
