THE DBATB PEN4ITY

The press throughout the state ia begin
ming to awaken to the fact that q death
penalty law il q necessity, the importance
of which should be urged upon our legis-
letuTe 80 strongly that they Will be forced
to take some sction in the matter at the
coming session. The following from the
Garnett Journal Is a sample of the views
held by probably large majority of our
citizens:
1t il a pretty authentic conclusion to
jump at that a vast majority OF the peo-
pie of this state are In tAYOr of enforcing
the death penalty for murder. The farce
now in vogue as q death penalty law is
equivalent only to a life sentence in the
penitentiary with a hope hung out that the
governor sooner or later will pardon and
send the criminal out to prey on the COM
munity again. The law as It now stands
In many particulars induces instead of les
sening the crime of murder. The GRIMM
al classes are are q distinct race of bipeds.
You cannot reach them through ordinary
channels. Ordinarily and usually thew
are vicious and bHd-bad In the very worst
acceptatiOn of that term. There is, really,
no moral, conscientious foundation in the
criminal classes to build on. They love
evil rather than good. Being free from
tue IcSIThluL Oh al dCLlVo conscience ll6Y
contemplate murder and robbery as cOolly
and considerably as ordinary mortals re-
fleet on an every day business transaction.
This being the character of the GRIM
lnal classes how are you going to restrain
them save through an appeal to- their
fears? They are constitutional and profess
sional outlaws, amenable to nobody or
nothing, ever preying on society, and the
people have but one remedy in the matter
and that is to make justice, sure and swift,
follow directly In the wake Of crime.
Photograph the gallows on the brain OF
the murderer as the certain and never
devistIn9 result of his crime and nine
times out of ten the murderer's hand will
be stayed.
Therefore we say let the next legislature
restore the death penalty and let our
judges enforce It and crime in our state
of capital character will be reduced 70
per cent; good citizens will be prevented
from committing criminal offense by re-
sorting to lynch law to carry out the JUS
tice that should be lodged with the courts.

refuses to make its rates public as re-
quired. the commission must institute

saTy. evon to stopping the road from trans

TIE WABASH MIDDLE.

Little Injury Done Gould by Judge
Gresham's DecIsiODs-InnOc Bond
holders Suner.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. IA. A. Talmage,
general manager, Wells Il. B-odEett
general solicitor, and j. f. Home, gen
erel agent, of the Wabash railroad and
the receivers returned from Chicago this
morning accompanied by Judge j. w.
Phillips, attorney for the Central Trust
company. Thomas E. Tut, one OF the
receivers, had long conference with
Messrs. Blodgett and Talmsge. In con-
versation with q reporter Mr.. Tut said
he had nothing to say concerning the
condition of Wabash affairs. He knows
no more Of the case than the public, as
ne had all OF his information from the
papers. MIR. Blodgett said that he as attor-
ney for the receivers would go before
ge Treat of the United States district
court here tomorrow, and notify him
formally of Judge Gresham's action.
Judge Treat, Mr.. BlOdgett said, has no
knowledge Of the Gresham decision and
appointment only through the papers.
After the matter Is laid before him for
mallY, Mr.. BlOdgett will ask for infOr-
nation for the guidance OF the receivers
in their future movements. Judge Phil
lips stated that while the press was pro-
claiming the injury done to Gould by
the appointment OF the new receivers
and the splitting up OF the property, the
actual harm is done to lot of innocent
people who are holders of Wabash serur-
tiles, for instance SI1 ,000, 600 OF the S16,-
O00, 900 OF the general first mortgage
or blank mortgage bonds are held in
England. He declares that the division
OF the property will prove very detrI-
mental not only to the trust cOmpany's
mortgage but to the individual eto *
holders. He bases This statement on the
fact that De has information OF . relia-
BILE character that Gould's holdings are Ct
o very trifling amount, and that no ma
teriAI injury is done 20 him by JndGe
Greeham's decision. At the suggestion
Of the court, General Swsyne waited in
Chicago 10 meet Judge Cooley, and the
two together will arrive in St. Louis
probably On Monday. MIR. TalmAge,
when asked a. 20 the future action Of the
Wabash managers, said It was beyond
his power to make an Intelligent pEedic-
ton and he believed no man could tell
what would be done In the premises for
acme DAYS vet.
