ADULTERATION OF FOOD CONSIDERED AS GRAVE CRIME Worse Than Murder, Holds ■ Head of Organization Opposing Death Penalty. GUOnSLAND, May 6.—There nfe many crimes—many of them bo--6*l led minor ones—more serious t&an Sr-rier, In the opinion of the ishment Association of Cleveland which 14 waging a campaign to abol•c*b the £eath sentence In Ohio. Capital punishment has been given Its trial, and has failed, according to Municipal Judge D. Stevens, leading sponsor of the association. Judge Stevens, making his first public utterance in favor of ending the death sentence, to which cause he has been espoused for some time, clafined it is contrary to modern Ideas of criminology and penology. Crime, ho said, is now considered a disease, caused either ,by an unbalanced mind, or through heredity and environment. Murder Increases “Electrocutions and hangings have failed in the first place,” he said, “to protect society—the end for which they were designed. Murder has increased alarmingly in this country, although five-sixths of the States still have capital punishment Dn their books. t “There are now 10,000 murders in the United States every year. “The rate is nine per 100,000 population. Fifty years ago it was two. “There are many‘crimes more serious than** murder, because they affect more people. The adulteration o/ foods with substances that undermine the health of many, is a more serious crime than the slaying of a single individual. “The so-called supreme punishment has been abolished now in

Juries are reluctant; they do not , give the death sentence very often, j This undermines laws and is the chief cause of the increase of crime In this country. It is the certainty of punishment, rnther than the degree of severity that deters crime. “And these executions do much to debase public morals. Most of the newspapers print the details,, and these things cannot but do harm to men and boys. “Capital punishment endangers the innocent. Many have been sent to their death needlessly, every one knows. “Life Imprisonment is much better. It protects society just as well, or better. It makes conviction much morb certain. It has been tried in many places and found successful. And it decreases the harm when innocent men nre convicted.” Alexander Pope was only 20 years old when he wrote hts Essay on Criticism in which occur the two famous phrases: “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread,” and “A •ittle learning is a dangerous thing.’’ H!Qaht^mdi atCtrufZßme For all members of the family, children or adults, ailing or well.
