NO "DIscRETIoNARY PowER.' y

In your letter refusing these requisi-
tions. YOU say: " choose to make use
of the right and the duty as the Execu
live of the Commonwealth to exercise a
discretionary power Of refusal" Let us
see what the law is as to this 'discre-
tionary power" Since have been Gov
ernor of Kentucky have never refused
to honor the requisition OF the Governor
OF any State. and have honored no less
than a dozen issued upon me at different
times by the Governor of Indiana. II
has been my view of the law that my
duty in such matters was purely minis
terial not discretionary, and have be-
lieved that whenever requisition was
presented to me with the papers properly
made out, it was my duty, not to try the
case. but to issue the proper warrant OF
arrest for the fugitive and have him snr-
rendered to the proper officer But 1t is
not necessary 80 argue this question. A
statement of the law is sufficient to con-
vince anyone save an apologist OF Goe-
bel's assassination. In Article 4, Section
2. of the Constitution of the United
States, is the following provision con-
corning Fugitives from Justice.
, "A person charged in any State with
tteason, felony or other crime, who shall
flee from justice, and be found in another
State, shall on demand of the Executive
authority of the State from which he fled,
be delivered up to be removed to the
State having Jurisdiction Of the crime. y
Then Section 5278 of the Revised Stat
utes OF the United States reads as follows:
whenever the Executive authority of
any State or Territory demands any per-
son as fugitive from justice of the Ex-
ecutive authority Of any State or Terrific
fry to which such person has fed and
produces copy of an indictment found
Or an affidavit made before Magistrate
Of any State or Territory charging the
person demanded with having committed
s treason, felony or other crime, certified
as authentic by the Governor or Chief

Continued from First page.

! the law commonly known as the Aus
tralian Ballot Law" which in some form
/ governs elections in nearly all Of the
states Of the union; and while this law
/ has prevented many Of the frauds prac-
! ticed before its passage, its requirements
+ are not thoroughly understood by all Of
/ the voters, and this lack Of understand
/ ing often results IN the 'ector failing to
cast his vote for some OF the candidates
/ for whom he desires to vote The law
| should be amended that the elector so de-
string might by a single mark cast his
vote for all Of the nominees Of a par
ticular party.
The counting Of the ballots in the large
precincts requires so much time that it
is often not completed until the day af-
ter election thus requiring the services
of judges and clerks Tor two days. Two
sets Of judges and clerks with two ballot
boxes, so that the ballots might he count
ed each hour, would result in the count
ing of the vote shortly after The close Of
the polls, with little, if any, additional
expense.
Honesty in elections can hardly be ex-
pected where duDlicity is openly prac-
ticed in the nomination OF candidates
and when the ballot to be cast at the
election is a deception Some higher mo-
tive ought to characterize a political
party than the desire for Office, and this
is hardly possible where the fusion e'e-
ments, actuated by no higher desire than
the spoils of Office, is permitted. Deep
ton and Dretense in nominating conven-
tons and in the arrangements Of the bal
lot is as much a fraud upo the rights of
the voter and is as great a menace to an
honest election as any other species Of
fraud. If a candidates name appears
once upon the ballot it gives every cleo
tor an opportunity Of voting for him for
the Office which he seeks, and it should
appear only once. Fusion is a fraud and
should not be tolerated Fusion Of prin-
ciples is imDosslb le.
A law should be enacted providing that
no mans name should appear upon the
bollot more than once as a candidate for
the same Office

RETURN OF SOLDIERS
Reimbursement Of Railroads fol
soldiers Free Recommendation.

Preceding the discharge of the Twenti-
eth Kansas volunteers. q general desire
was manifest throughout the state. as
shown by the editorials in the public
press, that the members of that regiment
should be returned to their homes from
san Francisco without expense to the
members of the regiment In CompNance
with this general desire, the administra-
ton obtained terms from the railroad
companies, under which they furnished
the necessary transportation and ad-
vanced the money TO defray the expenses
incident to such return, with the under
standing that the next legislature would
reimburse them for the outlay.
The expense Of returning the soldiers
from SAN Francisco to their several
homes in the state VIII lie presented by
tented bills and VIII amount. in roUn5
figures. to $4,000. An aprcpr alton ought
10 be made 10 reimburse the railroad
companies for this expenditure.
soon after their return, n movement
was put on foot by the Grand Army
posts throughout the state TO provide

TO WIPE OUT KL0NDlKE
Law Suggested TO End Public Dis
..race Near Soldiers Home


In lS5 the government established near
the city Of L,eavenworth q soldiers home,
for the care of the soldiers and sailors Of
the civil war, who. by reason Of in
trinity or misfortune were dependent
upon the public for support. The site
so selected embraces about $40 acres and
is in itself beautiful and attractive. The
government has erected buildings from
time TO time, until provision is now made
at the. home for 2,740 veterans Of the civil
war Many of the inmates in this home
are pensioners, and the aggregate amount
received as pensions is very large.
Men and women, with no regard either
for the rights of these dependent people
or the laws Of the state have congregated
near the home, and opened up and estab-
lished houses of infamy and houses for
gambling and the sale of intoxicating
liquors. and at the time of the payment
of pensions these people congregate in
large numbers about the home for the
purpose Of obtaining this pension money.
With a view of suppressing this evil the
legislature in 1891 enacted a law making
it a felony to barter, sell or give away
intoxicating liquors to any person who is
q
home within the state Of Kansas. For
various reasons it has been impossible to
enforce that law.
The places which I have mentioned are
numerous and. as a whole are common
ly known as the "Klondike'-one Of the
most disreputable places in the state
Efforts have been made to suppress these
resorts, and while numerous prosecutions
have been commenced and many of these
haunts temporarily closed, the efforts Of
the administration so far have been at
tended with only indifferent success. A
law, making the keeping of intoxicating
liquors. with intent to sell the same with
in a certain distance of the home, mis-
demeanor. prescribing a penalty, and pro
viding that the finding of intoxicating
liquors in the possession of any party
within such distance should be presump-
tive evidence that the same were kept
for unlawful sale, might be enforced. and
greatly assist in suppressing the evils
which Z have mentioned. most earn
estly urge the enactment of SUCH a law
with a view Of the suppression o. these
infamous resorts.

Equalization of Taxatian.

Teh entire law governing assessment

islaures haFe devoted much time to the
discussion Of needed amendments. and
amendments have from time to time been
made, but the assessment and taxation
law is still unsatisfactory. The present
law provides that all property shall he
assessed at its actual value Notwith-
standing this provision. the assessors of
the different counties inset in their re-
spective counties before commencing
their work and. consult as to the best
methods Of avoiding this statute. At the

clerks and county treasurers Of the state
they recommended that the present law
in regard to the assessment Of taxable
property be strictly complied with. 1t IS
questionable whether this win he done
unless a penalty is fixed for its violation

Hoyt's "a Stranger in New York; Is
the attraction at the Crawford theater
Thursday. January 10. This farce is
claimed to be one OF the brightest ef-
forts Of the late Charles Hoyt. and the
claim has apparently been substantiated.
for it IS certainly one of the most popu-
lar Of all comedies and always sure Of
large audiences when playing here. This
season production is said to be Up TO
the mark set by the author and a com
plete new scenic environment IS used. 10
add to the pretty picture and as an ef-
fective setting for the handsome cos
tunes called for throughout the action
Of the play. Particularly the second and
third acts, which introduces the French
ball scene. The story, which is familiar
to many Of our theater-gOers Is that Of
a stranger in or largest city, who bv
accident finds letter addressed TO a well
known member of the smart set of New
York City. The stranger delivers the
letter, not knowing its contents. which
introduces q Chicago man of prominence
who has come to New York for a good
time and who lost the letter.
The natural inference Of the recipient
is that the bearer is the one mentioned
in the letter, and, without allowing the
stranger 10 explain he is Immediately
introduced into the set and started into
q round Of eaye,ies for which New York
IS famous, winding no with a night at
