The Popular Line

To the east is the Burlington Route
(Hannibal & st. Joseph r. RI. The ser
vice by this line has been constantly i'm
proved until it has reached degree of
excellence surpassed by none; and equal
ed by few. The Burlington's eli" is
probably the most popular train running
between the Missouri river and Chicago
being solid through vestibule train of
Pullman sleepers and free chair cars.
Leaving Kansas City, Atchison and St..
Joseph after supper, the passenger ar
rives in Chicago at 9:l5 in the morning.
Having taken breakfast on one of the
Burlington's world renowned dining cars
he is ready for the days business or in
ample time to make all eastern connec-
tons.
For the convenience of passengers from
Kansas City the Ell" takes dining car
out of Kansas City on which east-bouDd
which is equaled by few hotels.
The Burlington's st. Louis line though
comparatively new, is becoming better
known and growing in popular favor
every day until it bids fair in the near
future to he the favorite line between the
Missouri river and st. Louis. This train
consisting of through sleepers, chair cars
and coaches leaves Kansas City, Atchison
and St. Joseph after supper and puts the
passenger in st. Louis for breakfast and
ample time to make all connections.
You are also requested to bear in mind
that the Burlington kansas City st. Jo-
seph & Council Bluffs R. r. is the only
line running through Pullman buffet
sleeper between Kansas City and st Jo-
seph and St. Paul and Minneapolis. This
is the short line between Kansas City,
st. Joseph and Omaha. Through daily
trains with sleepers and chair cars.
In whatever direction You travel be
sure yonr tickets read over the Burling-
ton route, thereby insuring yourself the
greatest amount of comfort, with the
least expense OF money or time.

Gov. Humphrey Talks.

Governor Humphrey was recently asked
what he thought of re-submiseion. He
said, Il think that the Democrats are
making considerable noise, and that they
have possibly frightened many Republic
cans. This is good politics on their part,
as they have nothing to lose and every
thing to gain. 1 see no reason why the
Republican party should recede from the
position it has held for eight years. II it
has been right, it is right now, and it
would be cowardice to surrender to the
clamor started by Democratic paper in
Kansas City.
Several years ago the majority desired
to vote upon prohibition, and this very
same crowd did all they could to prevent
the question from coming before the
people. Republicans united with the
Democrats, but, after contest, the ma
jority won and vote was taken. Now
this minority, that would have prevented
a vote being taken, urges that the minor
lty has right to vote whenever it wants
to. This is their method. Urged on by
Democratic leaders, they will demand it
this year, next year. the next year,
and SO on until the end Of time, or until
saloons are in full blast. I do not intend
to be dictated to by the Democrats, nor
am going to put the state to the expense
OF an extra session of the legislature. I
am personally in favor of constitutional
convention, because believe We ought to
have a new constitution. I will favor
such convention at the next session of
the Legislature for purely legal reasons.
But it would be folly to call the legisla-
ture together this winter at the demand
OF the Democrats, the Kansas City Times,
the Labor Unionists or the Greenbackers.
That body is against such q measure as
re-submission. which would pot receive
one-fifth vote, let alone two-thirds, as is
required"

ing that he was making an earnest
and strong effort to rid the state OF
Kansas Of irresponsible insurance
companies. But he has gone en-
tirely too far, and his recent utter
ances on the subject of life insurance
either show dense ignorance or in
terest in monopoly corporations.
His last report is an insult to all
assessment companies doing bust
ness in the state Of Kansas, and
plainly shows that it is an advertis-
ing document in behalf of what is
known as the old line insurance
companies. Representatives Of for
eign corporations should not be ap-
pointed to offices in Kansas.

To A great extent the young man
is the architect of his own fortune.
A great many young men think if
they only had the opportunity they
might make something Of them
selves-become renowned in some
way. While we believe there is an
epoch in the lives of most men
which if grasped at the right time
and in the right way will lead to
success, we believe that most of TIE
f ,ilures of life occur because the in
dividual was not prepared to avail
himself of the opportunity when it
occurred. The opportunity will
come again, young man, but WIZ ther
you are prepared to profit by it will
be for you to determine. There are
some men who, apparently, are
lucky. but in most instances upon a
careful investigation you will find
that they are the authors of their
own good fortune. Lincoln, Grant
and others who have reached the
highest pinnacle of fame were pre-
pared to meet the crisis and grasp
the opportunity when they came.
Don't worry about the opportunity;
it will come. Be sure you are ready
for it when it comes.

The Death Penalty.

We believe in Capital punish ment
when a man in cold blood, without
provocation, deliberately takes the
life of his fellow being. We do not
favor capital punishment from a
spirit Of revenge but for the good
Of society. "All that a man hath
will he give for his life" is as true
to-day as when it was first uttered
and it therefore follows that if cap
ital punishment is most dreaded by
the murderer, as a punishment, it
will be the most efficacious means
for the prevention Of the crime of
murder. The protection Of the in
nocent, law abiding citizen should
be the first great care of society.
Those who are sentimentally inclin-
ed speak of the momentary sufferings
and anguish of the criminal, while,
apparently, forgetting the protracted
and excruciating suffering Of their
innocent victim. Murder is the
most heinous of all crimes and the
highest grade Of punishment should
be meted out to him who deliberate
ly takes human life. IAN eye for
an eye" is nothing but even handed
justice. Chief Justice Horton in
his paper on "The Death Penalty"
published in Our State uses the fol-
lowing beautiful and forcible Ian
guage.
"The restoration of the death penalty
in Kansas would be called by many a re-
dictionary step, but it would be step in
the right direction. It would be protest
against tendency which, in the name Of
mercy, humanity and philanthropy, and
placed premium upon crime, smoothed
the path of the criminal, added to the
laws delay and shaken the confidence of
the people in the purpose and use of the
law to protect them in life, limb and
property. That mercy to the cruel is
cruelty to the defenceless, is truth none
the less to be regarded because it is one
of the oldest maxims
''Mercy is not ITSELF, that oft looks go;
Pardon Is still the nurse of second woe.,

thrown open and the people come
together. We may feel that we are
not in a country so bountifully sup
piled as some others, but let a
thankful heart not forget the good
ness of God in administering to a
HELPLESS creation SO beautifully.
There is plenty in the land for all.
"Then let our grateful songs of Joy
Through hill and valley ring;
Let hymns of praise all tongues employ,
His goodness LET rs sing"
