The maintenance of the Monroe doctrino in the past hns been duo not
to our own might but wholly to the balance of power in Europe. Some
European power would long ago have come in and called our bluff had it
not been for the well-grounded fear that some other Euopean power would
have started an attack in the rear.
Assuming that the European balance will be restored after the pres
ent war, our portion will 110 longer be secure, for in the event of war with
Japan some European power might render her enough assistance seriously
to handicap us, without upsetting the European balance.
Kussia and Japan, for example, have recently formed an alliance.

Capital Punishment Relic of the Dark
Ages Still Surviving in Many States
By RIGHT REV. SAMUEL FALLOWS
' Buhop of the Reformed Episcopal Church
A relic of the dark ages that 6tiH clings to the statute bocks of many
of our states is the infliction of capital punishment. I
There are no longer any arguments in favor of legalized murder. If
there were the great state of Wisconsin, which abolished the death pen
alty years ago, would show a larger percentage per capita of homicides
than does Illinois, whose territory borders upon hers. Yet statistics reveal
that homicides per capita are almost twice as many in Illinois as in Wis
consin. Statistics also show that in 21 of the states having the largest
number of homicides per capita, not' one state has abolished capital pun
ishment. The latest available federal statistics show that in all the states
where capital punishment has been abolished there is a less percentage
per capita of homicides than in the states where it has been retained.
A popular notion has always existed among superficially minded,
law-abiding people that capital punishment acts as a deterrent to crime.
Behind the skirts of this notion our lawmakers have, hidden when con
fronted with humanity's demand for the utter destruction of the statute
permitting this crime of the state against the citizens whom it is supposed
to protect
by brush nnd lonves, aud this duty
must In. dischunred by tho rouu super
visor, nnd will be, If ho Is worth his
salt.
2. The second nnd very Important
roniilri'iiiont lu the building of u eul
vert Is thnt Its ends must be protected
by some kind of n wull or facing cur
piol down to a firm foundation. If
thin be done. It will be found thnt the
end of the culvert will not be under

surrounding or superincumbent enrth

front of the onenlne. nnd, with the
further necessury work of keeping tho
wiiim? ditches clenr. tho culvert will
be uhle to tuke care of nil the wnter
nloncslde the road
8. The third requirement Is thnt the
culvert must be ninde so strong that
It will not become broken nnd so tight
imt it will not leuk. These ends cun
be renched by building the culvert of
iiinsonrv. concrete or of goou piping,
The mnterlul to be used must be de
termined by the relntlve cost of tho
vrnl ninterluls nt the locullty
where the culvert Is to be built nnd
by the distance from the top of the
culvert to the surfuce or tne rouu.
