Can ada At that time Parliament voted against abolition If the question comes up at Ottawaiagain onewonders how will the vote go for there are still sharp divisions of opinion on this perplexing problem It is of interest to note from recent Survey by the Associated Press that death appearsto be dying as the supreme penalty of American justice even though most slates cling to capital pun ishment statutes The survey shows that 13 states have abolished the death penalty orso scvere lyrestricted its use to make it almost nonexistent Some states have not ex ecuted criminal in decades Most death penalties are imposed for murder But some states can execute for rape kidnapping armed robbery treas on against the state In Oklahoma the death penalty legally can be imposed for peddling narcotics to minors In Connecticut causing death by tam pering with railroad tracks or by wil fully burning any vessel or building are crimes punishable by death Another state can impose death for burglary of an inhabited house at night But death at the hands of the state is becoming rarity and the voice of the abolitionists is louder and more frequent Legal executions have been abolished in
