Would Abolish Death Penalty.

Senator Chester A. McCormick’s bill to abolish capital punishment in Indiana, which has been recommended fOr passage by the judiciary committee of the senate, is along the lines of modern humanitarian methods in dealing With crime. The theory under which the death penalty has been imposed has been that it is a arid not that society is seeking revenge. Experience in several states that have substituted life imprisonment for the death penalty shows that executions do not lessen crime,. . < ' Wisconsin, for example, has not inflicted death in recent years. It has made what may be considered a thorough tryout of the abolition theory and the results have been most satisfactory. Milwaukee, the largest city in that state, ranks well up toward the top among cities of its class in comparative freedom from crimes of violence. Minnesota and some other states that have followed the trend of up-to-date penology have also experienced no increase in the number of homicides. I '. . A distinct advantage is gained in an increase in the number of convictions in cases of those accused of murder under life imprisonment requirements. Juries are very chary about imposing the extreme penalty even when there is no room to doubt the guilt of the accused. The result is acquittal in many cases where society is menaced by turning loose those who should not be at large. - The execution of a murderer does not make reparation for a deed done, but his acquittal may mean a repetition of crime. Our laws should be so framed as to offer the, maximum of protection to society.—lndianapolis Star.

PHYSICIANS SYSTEMATIZE A PART OF THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THE PROFESSION. . • 0 The Medical Society Will Maintain a “Won’t Pay’’ Class List./ It has been an axiom from time immemorial that physicians as a class are poor business men. This has become so from one or all of the following reasons: First,' their energy and - time is entirely consumed with patients. Secondly, the laws are enacted by’ lawyers who forgot to make definite provision for the collection of medical accounts. Thirdly, a great many clients have a habit of paying the grocer, The baker and the candlestick maker and then if a littlo. money is left and no place else is found for it they pay a little on account at the doctor’s, And fourthly, most physicians do not enter medicine as a commercial business arid therefore neglect that side of the profession. Rensselaer and vicinity is an up-to-date neighborhood and among other things demands well trained physicians, and right it should—but the attendance at medical meetings, literature and office equipment, post-graduate courses and numerous other things require a constant drain of cash. Every physician has four classes of patients, judged financially, namely: Patients whose accounts are collectable. Patients whose accounts are not collectable by law but good through the honesty of the person. ( harity patients who are accepted and fully understood as such. Patients whose accounts are not collectable and who are perfectly willing to beat a medical bill. This last class is the one that has always required considerable attention because they will call one of the newer physicians and get a credit established by paying promptly for a while; then they begin to pay only a part and finally when the main bill gets largq_x.hey hunt up a new physician, and so on. It is this class of accounts that the medical society is now attempting to regulate. Therefore, the Society issues «this notice‘through the press that on and after March Ist, 1915, a list will be kept by the society of such clients who in the judgment of the physician handing such names to the society, can but will not pay. Such list will he corrected at each monthly meeting and, only the physicians will have access to the list. This action will operate on the medical profession in this Way, that no physical! can respond to a call from any one on the list. It will operate on this class of patients_Jn that they will either appeal to the township trustee for a physician or settle their medical bill. This measure will in no way affect true charity Patients, for each member of the Society has a certain number of worthy patients who cannot pay and lie knowing them to be such, will gladly continue to care for them. All physicians of Rensselaer have signed such an agreement.—-Advt.
