Conservative experts state that
about two million people. or one
twentieth of the total population of
Great Britain, are paupers receiving
governmental relief. One fourth of
all persons in the United Kingdom
who have reached the age of sixty-fve
years are in the work houses. In the
rural districts over one third of all
persons of sixty years or more are
paupers in warehouses. This state of
affairs, existing in the richest country
in the world, area and population
considered, and which controls the
finances and has long claimed to be
the workshop Of the world, should
cause serious reflection on the part Of
those who are accustomed to regard
civilization, and especially Anglo-SaX-
on civilization, as sure preventive
and corrective of all moral and ma
terial ills. The extremes of poverty
and wealth were never more apparent
in the great nations of the world than
they are in the first year of the
twentieth century.-Sentinelo Of Lib

COURT PROCEEDINGS.
The Death Sentence in FuII.-Joseph Hinton's
Farewell Letter to the Public-Other
Incidents of the Recent Term.
THE DEATH SENTENCE.

In passing sentence upon Hinton.
Judge Geiger asked him if he had any
legal reason to offer why sentence
should not be pronounced at that time.
Hinton, with no show of emotion,
answered, ''No, SIR
"You have been found guilty." SAID
the Judge, g of the crime of murder
in the first degree, and if you have no
legal reason to offer at this time why
sentence should not be passed, the
law makes it my duty to impose upon
you penalty which I have never yet
had to impose upon any one. There
is but one penalty that can be melted
out for the offenSe of which the jury
has found you guilty, and that penalty
is fixed by statute; 1 cannot, there
fore, vary it.
81 think if I were to occupy some
time in reviewing the testimony it
might possibly be well, though not
necessary. Your defense that you did
not know at the time that you com
mitted that act which resulted in the
death of Miss ShurtZ, that you did it,
does not carry with it to my mine the
force that it might to some in the
light of the proof. [ grant you that
the relations existing as you detailed
them between you and her are such
that one would not wish to believe
that such at act could be committed
by you, but that relation, if true,
ought to be a double reason why a
severe sentence would be not only
not amiSS but demanded. You say
that you were engaged to Miss Shurtz
and that because of the objection on
the part of her parents you were for
hidden to keep company with her,
although you did still occasionally
visit her. 1t seems from the teSti-
mony that she suggested to you from
time to time that she was not happy
where she was, in fact so unhappy
that she even threatened her own
life. Under these circumstances, if you
really had the affection for her that
you profess, that ought to have made
you the more conSiderate of her par
entS' wish, especially since you say
that within three years all opposition
would be Withdrawn providing you
still entertained the same affection
for each other. It should also have
caused you to cheer and encourage
her to discard thoughts and look and
think upon the bright and more hope
full side of life. The sad ending of
her life, the deSolatiOn and gloom
cast upon two homes, all the result of
your hasty and i'll advised act, surely
justifies her parents in questioning
your suitableness for such an alliance.
Nothing has been detailed which
satisfactorily explains what prompted
the act which so cruelty wrung the
hearts of that home where loved one
is not, and the other one-your child
hood home-whenee your departure
leaves a vacant place. Your claim of
responsibility for the act as a de-
tense, in the light of your statements
made to your doctor attending ON you
very soon after the shooting, direct
/ ing him where to find the weapon
with which you committed the deed,
and which was found at the point in
dictated and where you had wounded
yourself, is to my mind proof conclu-
siye that you knew at the time OF
firing the fatal shot the nature Of the

Royce Admits The Junket.

When John Q. Royce gets very
angry he eases his wrath by Selling
his pen and writing few very bum
lies. Then he feels better. The mad
dest man the state of Kansas has con-
tanned since the day Major Morrill,
(afterward gOvernor) spoke in this
city, was this same John Q. Royce last
Friday when he opened the HERALD
of that date and saw therein copied
an article from Wardie Whites News,
with very courteous invitation for
the Dispatch to give its version of the
matter. With his usual vindictive-
ness and more than his usual haste
Che must have stopped his press to
put in his reply as the papers were
printed on the same day, the HERALD
getting out few hours earlier than
the DiSpatch) he graSped his pen,
dipped it in his own gall and wrote a
whole column of SluSh intended for
abuse, and incidently putting his foot
in it by admitting everything that
Wardie charged, and further by try
ing to implicate Senator Peterson,
some bridge contractors and Mr.. e. E.
Brainerd. He says he organized the
junket all right, but that instead Of
paying the railroad fare for the COM
miSSiOnerS he induced Senator Peter
son to furnish the transportation. He
admits he and they ate, drank and had
q good time, but that some bridge
men they met there "vied with each
other" to show them the ''good time"
they had. He accuses Mr.. Brainerd
of being in Kansas City at the time
and providing lodging for the crowd
at the hotel. Altogether Mr.. Royce
seems to have had mighty good time
and to have had it mighty cheap.
But that's no concern of ours. All we
wanted was to get the little poStmas-
ter to answer Whites accusations,
and he did it, to our complete sur
prise admitting the whole thing. To
tell the truth of the matter we
thought White was talking through
his hat" but now we're convinced he
was not.
But we started in to show what
ridiculous and malicious lies MI. Royce
will tell to appease his wrath and to
avoid saying he reads Mr.. Whites
paper. Here is the first paragraph of
his spleenic article:
s.Several times this winter the HER
AID has made unkind remarks about
the visit of our county commissioners
to Kansas City. after the close of the
January meeting of the board. In
each reference the editor of the HER
AID insinuateS that the editor of this
paper bought his contract for county
printing with promise to take the
commissioners on pleasure trip to
the river cities. We have endured
these Insulting insinuations in silence
up to this time, but in justice to the
members of the board of county COM
missioners We can remain silent no
longer The inslnHation by the HERS

curSiOn in return for a county print
ing contract is absolutely false and
it's falSity was well known to Mr..
TadlOck when he wrote it, and his
profession of religion will not excuse
him from the charge"
OF course the HERALD had
never mentioned such thing as a
thing as a junket, as our readers
know, and we defy Mr.. Royce to pro-
duce the HERALD of any date that
says word of his junketing trip prior
to reprinting the News item last Fri
day. The Dispatch was printed Fri
day also. Notice how long he Cen
dured these insinuationS in silence. "
No longer than it took him to stop
his press and get column article of
abuse set up.
Notice also that it is ''justice to the
commissioner" and not his own de-
Tense that causes him to break his
long silence, and pour forth violent
excavations of puerile wrath, the prin-
cipal one of which is a very, very
cheap reference to religion.
The HERALD does not deny that it's
purpose in reprinting the News arti-
Gle was to trap Mr.. Royce into trying
to explain that junket, but the ease
with which he was caught and the ex-
tent of his damaging confessions al
most makes US feel sorry for him.
However, the people of the county
who have to pay the taxes may not
have so much of tendency to be sorry.
