elected in some Of the counties. A leg
islature pledged to plan Of equitable
taxation will correct abuses at home
of far greater Importance than Con-
gress is likely to consider at this time.
This off-year election is the particu-
lar time to settle home questions, to
inaugurate just system of taxation
that neither the railroads nor the other
beneficiaries of the present unjust tax
system can avoid. This is the appoint
ed time to settle state issues which
the Democratic party has raised and
the Republican party is trying to
dodge. National questions should be
the all absorbing topic before the peo-
pie of this state.
The Democratic party raised this is
sue of equitable taxation in their cotn-
ty and state platforms. The Republi-
can party, fearing to hurt their friends
have done everything in their power
to smother the question, and propose,
II possible, to avoid any discussion.
1t remains for the people Of this state
to say whether the policy of "Let well
enough alone" shall control in this
state election, or whether they will
in the exercise of their better judg-
ment insist upon an accounting by this
party which desires to let well enough
alone.
The best way to present this issue Is
to show to each of the counties of the
state what they lose by the fraudu-
lent assessment of steam railroads
by this unfair system of taxation,
which bears hardest on farmers and
home owners. When we have done
this, they will rise in their might and
drive from their. capitol at Columbus
the people too blind or too much In
terested to even consider the question,
and put in their places men solemnly
pledged to carry out the mandates of
the voters.
Our candidate for Governor. Colonel
James Kilbourne, with the. balance of
the state ticket and legislative candi.
dates generally throughout the state,
are pledged to the correction of these
abuses and deserve at he hands of the
voters an overwhelming victory.

The Progress Of Science.
The Result The Use Static

We are living in a progressive age.
The up-to-date medical man Of today
is wheeling into line with the Progress
of Science and taking advantage OF
modern methods in the treatment and
cure Of his patient, thus effecting
marvellous results heretofore consider
ed impossible.
The rapid scientific developments Of
recent years in the construction Of
Electrical Machinery has brought the
Electrical Current into wide field Of
usefulness in the practice of medicine
and surgery.
The germ theory Is accepted by the
medical profession in all civilized
countries. Electricity kills the germ
that causes the majority Of Ills to
which the human race Is heir. DR..

OVER GENEROUS TREATMENT or CRIMINALS.

The morbid sontmentality that in these latter days
has been coddng and encouraging criminals by mis-
taken OF leniency and pampcrng has just
step further IN Pennsylvania in the enactment Of
law increasing the reduction OF time account Of
good behavior from prisoners sentence,
AS matter Of fact this Communication policy is a
poor one at best. The courts and iuries err ninety
nine times out OF a hundred on tho side Of enicncy
in the FIRST case. The minimum punishment is oftener
given than the maximum Special pleas In behalf Of a
prisoner or reasons for tho exercise OF mercy, are
rarely II ever dlsregarded in the courts if they have
substantial merit or basis, The law fixes minimum
and maximum punishment in order that the courts
and jurlos exercise discretion in fixing just term

generosity further reduce the by
eral years because of good conduct" IN prison The
prisons have ways Of enforcing good conduct If it rs not
voluntarily exhibited by the prisoners.
But the most serious objection to these large com.
mutations OF sentences Is that the most hardened and
professional criminals chiefly get the benefit Of them
These the prisoners who calculate spending a
number of their years behind the and they early
learn that they make time by the character of
their conduct while IN prison. The model prisoners
generally are the Oldest professional Offenders In
their calculations they figure In tho reductions on ac
count OF good conduct part Of their gains while the
less crafty or inexperienced take little note of such
advantage

only effect VIII be to turn loose upon society large
gang Of the worst criminals, who will begin to prey
upon the public again before they have undergone
tne legal punishment which tho courts in thor wisdom
prescribed.
There Is no disposition in these times to be in
