Hotel at st. Louis. was held RESPONSE
BILE for the deaths of the eleven persons
who lost their lives when the hotel was
burned last Sunday morning. The find

dence of Police Sergeant Hall. who tes-
titled that not a life would have been
lost had the building been equipped
with fire escapes.
The Kansas City Journal says Mis-
souri, Is under obligations to the Mime
sofa Board of Pardons for its decision.
A return of the Youngers to this state
would be the signal for a series of dem
onstrations on the part of some of our
people that would reflect anything but
credit upon Missouri. The people who
used to treat the James gang as heroes
are still alive, many of them, and there
is no evidence that they have become
any healthier of mind with the lapse OF
years.
