Murders have increased in numbers and in brutality until seemingly there is no fear on the part of the perpetrators of receiving Only mild punishment if apprehended. Severe punish ment for Petty offences Light punishment or no punishment at All for capital offences appears to be the Rule. It is time to fight fire with fire. A solemn example should be made of convicted 1 murderers from now on. Perhaps the Brad Ford police have found an effective antidote for checking the present crime wave in the prompt and proper action taken by officer Solt in fleeing desperado by sending a Bluet through his body.
