PAROLE CONvICTS.
Governor Stanley Decides to
Issue Conditional PardOns.

Governor Stanley has decided to re-
establish a system of paroling prisoners
in the Kansas penitentiary,. which was
inaugurated by Governor Morrill,. The
system will be extended to those men
who are under sentence for smaller
crimes, for which the peculiar construc-
ton Of the law provides, in the opin-
ion of the governor, sentences too long
The prisoners will receive conditional
pardons, but if any provision of the
pardon be violated the convict shall at
once be re-incarcerated to serve out the
full term of the sentence.
The idea was original in Kansas with
Governor Morrill, and authority was
given him to inaugurate the custom in
an opinion written by Attorney General
Dawes. Governor Stanley today asked
Judge J. S. West, assistant attorney
general, if he could issue conditional
pardons. The Dawes opinion was found
in the biennial report from the attorney
generals office. This was shown to the
governor and Judge West added his
opinion that it is good law, whereupon
MIR. Stanley decided to adopt the same
rule for ahis administration. The first
conditional pardon issued by Governor
Morrill, specified that the prisoner
should retain his liberty so long as he
abstained from the use of liquors. The
man has never been re-arrested.
Governor Stanley will make the con-
ditional pardon rule apply to prisoners
in the penitentiary.

WAY TO REACH TRUSTS
Is Through the Railroads, Says Attor-
-ney General Monnett-

Washington, May 16.-Attorney Cen
eraI Frank S. Monnett of Ohio was be-
fore the industrial commission today as
a witness in the trust investigation. His
testimony related almost exclusively
to the Standard Oil Trust company,
against which he has been proceeding
in his official capacity in Ohio. After
detailing the particulars. of the suits
against the Standard company brought
on behalf of the state of Ohio Mr.. Mon
nett said the companies comprising the
trust were so distributed as to control
all the operations pertaining to the
production, transportation. refining and
delivery of oil in Ohio including even
its own telegraph system.
Mr.. Monnett complained of discrimi-
nation in telegraph and railroad rates
in favor of the Standard company tank
lines, saying that in the latter it was
equal to 400 per cent against the ordi-
nary citizen.
Mr.. Monnett gave the figuers showing
that the capitalization of the twenty
companies comprising the trust amount
ed IN the aggregate to S102. 233, 900 ana
the valuation 1921 ,631, 600. He said the
trust could make its dividends what
ever it desired as it controlled complete
ly the retail price of oil.
Mr. Monnett told of the distribution
Of the stock of the trust, saying that
the trustees held 466, $50 of the 100000
shares and that John d. Rockefeller,
as chairman of the trustees held a ma
Jority of the stock thus distributed, Civ
practically a One-man power.
Mr.. Monnett said the original value
of the plant of the trust was $97. ESQ.,
600, but this figure should now be multi
Piled by five. Mr.. AIonnett insisted that
the way to control the trusts was to
control the transportation companies.
which he thought the courts could do
and if the courts could not do this the
charters of the roads should be taken
from them.
The attorney general of New Jersey
could secure action on this discrimina-
ton within sixty days if he would take
it in his hand, the witness said.
Speaking of the earnings of the oil
trust, Mr.. Monnett estimated that the
gross receipts were 100000 900 a year
on the Ohio product alone, and he said
that all was profit over cents a gallon
on refined oil.
He placed the value of the earnings
of the company per year as greater
than the value of all the farm products
of the state

A subscriber critcises the designation
of a soldier confined in military prison

not appear to be well founded. Web

plays courage and intrepidity in the
face of danger. By common consent
those who fought at San Juan hill have

AN EDITORS BRAVE WORDS
Wrote His Last Article Before Going
to the Operating Table.

ST Louis, May 16.-E. c. Klingman
of bingham, Kan. died at the Mis-
souri, Baptist Sanitarium yesterday
morning at o'clock from the shock of
an operation performed last Saturday.
He had been at the hospital for a week
and after the operation gradually sank
until his death. His wife was with him
when he passed away and accompanied
the remains back to bingham last
night.
The deceased was editor of the Effing-
ham New Leaf, a successful country
paper He was made postmaster at
Effing CHAM by the present administra-
ton. but realizing his own serious con-
dition he resigned and had his wife ap-
pointed. He wrote his last article for
the paper Saturday prior to the opera
ton and closed it by saying that on
Sunday he would either be on the road
to recovery or gone to his final reward.
The chances were largely against his
surviving the operation, none realizing
his condition more Thoroughly than he
did His remains will be buried in Eff
