WHY not CREMATIoNg

The ssMaiI'' Makes a Suggestion
Worthy of Consideration.
Arthur Capper's "Aai" says editorially
today:
The city of Topeka has been censid-
erably excited this week over the discov-
cry of grave robberies. The law never
has been effective in pr otecting the
graves of the dead and probably never
will be. If the work is carefully done
it is not probable that the crime will be
detected. In fact, it was more an acct
dent than anything else that led to the
discovery of this case. So far as we
are personally concerned we be-
lieve the remedy for this sort of crime is
cremation. To our mind there is moth
ing in cremation half so repulsive as the
slow, horrible decay of the grave. The
burying grounds of the world are breed
era of disease and psstilence, = constant
menace to the living. There is another
feature of our present burial system
more horrible than the idea of loath-
some decay. Nobody knows how many
people are buried alive every year and
left to wake to brief but hopeless horror.
Cremation would make any accident of
that kind impossible.

Wonderful Growth.

The boast of the Topeka
Capital that it pays more
postage than all other To-
peka dailies combined, only
proves the meagerness of its
local circulation as COM
pared with that of the STATE

paid on any circulation
within Topeka Or Shawnee
county.

circulation is far and away
ahead of the combined cir
culation of all the other

This is the greatest show--
ing the STATE JOURNAL has
ever been able to make for
. period of any six months
in its history.
This is a greater figure
than was reached by any
daily paper in Topeka for
the year 1894. The Ameri-.
can Newspaper Directory,
issued in June, 1895, and.
covering the year 1894, gives
the average daily circula-
ton of the Topeka Daily
Capital for the year 1894, as
only 8,744. These figures
were furnished by the pub
fishers of the Capital, to the
Directory, and are guaran-
teed to be correct by a for
felt of 500, which will be
paid to any one disproving
their correctness.
