Great Volume Of Business.

"Throughout the country there
are unmlstakable manifestations
of confidence in the burial of Bry-
ante heresles under the ballots
of last Tuesdays election" says
the Denver Republican. Trad
ing of unprecedented magnitude
has marked the business of Wall
street, with rush of buying orders
taxing the capacity of brokerage
houses, and of a nature to indi-
cate widespread public trust in
prosperity to come, and IN no
mere spirit OF gambl,hg:
"From the opening, on the day
following the election, until today
without a stop or even hesitation,
there has been unprecedented ac-
tivity IN securities. Never before
IN the history of the New York
stock exchange has the daily av-
erage OF transactions been so
large as during these five busl,
ness days since tho defeat of the
Bryan democracy was completed :,
and with the activity there has
been unexampled buoyancy.
Prices have gone up in startling
fashion, advancing and continuing
to advance in way that has set
aside all Wall street theories and
astonlshed all Wall street veter
ans. Tens upon tens of millions
of dollars have been added to the
market value OF railroad and IN
dustrlal properties"
The Springfield herald. (Springfield, Baca County, Colo.) 1887-1919, 1900-11-16

The great national battle has
been fought, and as predicted by
the Republicans, President Nc
Kinlev has received larger ma
jority IN the electoral college than
ile did four y cars ago.
The much-talked- OF Democrat
ic landslide slid the other way.
The party of progress and pa
triotism has been placed IN the
saddle tor four years more of
prosperity.
The flag will stay IN the Philip
pines, and, for want of support Of
Bryan copperheads, rebellion vail
cease.
The administration policy was
upheld by such an overwhelming
majority that it will be MAINTAIN
ed both at home and abroad.
The result in Colorado Is dis
appointment to all lovers OF good
government and will cost the
state many millions of dollars.
An unknown man will fill the
seat OF Hon. E. o. Wolcott in the
United States senate, and. not be-
ing in accord with the admins

for the state.
The only thing the Republicans
of the state can be proud OF is

Lynching or Capital Punishment

People may argue at length as
to whether death or life imprison
ment is the proper punishment
for murder, hut as mntter of fact
the real question is, SHALL the ex
ecution of murderers be lett to
the mob or to the law2
Human nature is stronger than
theory, the adherence of crime
and the desire to avenGe murder
surpass respect Tor the law. The
red handed criminal will not es-
cape death where the circumstan-
ces of the crime are stfch as to a
rouse the popular fury.

full influence in favor of those who
hold that society's best interests
demand the legal and orderly pun

~ogstioM Of capital punishment Is
