It is not yet too late to save the Republic if citizens heed the clear signs of disaster ahead and reverse their stampede into socialism and the welfare state. This means a return to self dependence and a realization of the truth that God helps those who help themselves. Government aid is a delusion and a snare. Business can only operate at a profit (and without a profit there is no business and no jobs) if its costs are closely watched. Because of this we believe that the raise of the minimum wage law will add to . . camp-station- ed units were pursuing different missions with equal fervor.

The capital punishment question, in which law enforcement officers have a basic interest, has been confused recently agitators against by self-stylthe evil of capital punishment. A brochure released not long ago, pleading for rehabilitation of murderers while passing lightly over the plight of the killers innocent victims and families, charges that law enforcement officers become Utah-Samu- el combat. 200-pou- nd Meanwhile, A report from the American Historian - Dept, of The honorary title of Silver Queen was bestowed on Mart-el- le Aldridge, the first lady auxiliary commander.

To add . to the burden of conscience borne by peace officers, prosecutors, and jurists and to' brand law enforcement officers as callous, unfeeling men insensitized. to the sanctity of human life are gross acts of injustice to these servants of the public. This ridiculous allegation is mutely refuted by the compassion which wells up in quiet tears flowing down the cheeks of hardened, veteran officers who too often see the ravaged bodies of victims of child molesters. There can be no doubt of the sincerity of many of those who deplore capital punishment. A realistic approach to the problem, however, demands that they weigh the right of innocent persons to live their lives free from fear of bestial killers against statistical arguments which boast of how few murderers kill again after rehabilitation and release. No one, unless he can probe the mind of every potential killer, can say with any authority whatsoever that capital punishment is not a deterrent. As one police officer has asked, how can these authorities possibly know how many people are not on death row because of the deterrent effect . of executions? Maudlin viewers of the death penalty call the most wanton slayer a child of God who should not be executed regardless of how heinous his crime may be because God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him. (Genesis 1:27) Was not this small, blonde girl a child of God? She was choked, beaten, and raped by a sex fiend whose pregnant wife reportedly helped him lure the innocent child into his car and who sat and watched the assault on th secreaming youngster. And when he completed his inhuman deed, the wife, herself bringing a life into the world, allegedly killed the child with several savage blows with a tire iron. The husband has been sentenced to death. Words and words and words may be written, but no plea in favor of the death penalty can be more horribly eloquent than the sight of the battered, sexually assaulted body of this child, truly a child of God. . |
