provides that those who are convicted
of the crime of murder shall be con-
fined in the state prison until such time
as the governor shall order their exc
cution. Since the law has been in Op-
GRAFTON no governor has been willing
to issue such an order, and in cOnSe-
quence there are at present forty seven
prisoners in Kansas under sentence OF
death, but who are practically serving
life sentences. Not long ago peti
ton bearing the names Of tivehundreC
citizens of Edwards county was sent
to the governor asking him to order the
execution of two convicted murdererS
but the governor declined to comply
with their request. In the interest OF
Justice and humanity this law should bt

social affairs of life have caused you to
forget the small amount of your in

you and personally present our little
statement, but owing to an accumula-
ton of important business which de-
mands our constant presence we find it
impossible to get away, so we take this
method of reminding you that your
subscription is overdue, feeling sure
that you will thank us for drawing your
attention to the matter so that you can

THE st. Louis Humorist says that
''many men are honest only because
they are financially able to be-" We
are inclined to the belief that it is only
those who have considerable money
that can afford to be dishonest. When
a poor man gets the foolish idea into
his head that he can better his condi-
ton by dishonesty he is on the road to
the penitentiary at lightning express
speed. But rich men-Well. we haven't

GEORGE COUGH, tried at Chicago for
the murder of a patient in the insane
asylum at Cunning, was found guilty
of manslaughter and sentenced to eight
years imprisonment in penitentiary.
There was not mitigating circum-
stance in the case. Cough was an at
tendant at the asylum, paid to watch
over the patients and treat them hui
namely, but instead he savagely kicked
to death an unfortunate who was dis
eased in body and mind-a condition

liberty he can have little to help him.
self and prevent his relapse in the
presence Of temptation. This is
radical departure but it is ten thousand
times better than the present cruel
system. Such a method as Col. Inger
soil proposes would not make prison
life less arduOus to be borne, nor would
it extract the sting of shame and dis
grace from the commitment. Indeed
we believe it would make prison life
more to be dreaded, for public opinion
would be more intOlerant of crime
which would send men and women to
prison. The public now loses all
knowledge Of the criminal because he
goes behind walls that shut him entirely
from the world. If he could earn money
and support those dependent upon him.
or earn it to be placed in the bank to
his credit. he would to this extent touch
the great world, and the world would
not, could not, forget him. He would
feel his disgrace all the more keenly
