Some persons are weak minded enough to think
that the worst possible use to which any man can be
put is to kill him. They foolishy assert that profit
able work be found for every human creature;
that even when men 80 misguided as to think
that liberty means license and to commit crimes,
they may still be used to good advantage by the
state and possibly transformed into worthy cit
liens. Could practical man imagine more puerile
argument! Are not these sentimentalists who advo-
cate such theories even more depraved than the
creatures they would assist?
This paper has always protested against the
wishy washy sentimentaty and blitherng imbecility
of those who talk of reforming criminals Such talk
is characteristic of incpent lunacy and persons who
inclined to give voice to it should consult alien
lists at and have themselves placed in restraint
Hard, practical men of common sense know that hu-
mankind is divided into two distinct and fixed classes
those who are absolutely without sin and those
who are absolutely beyond redemption. The first
should inherit the earth; the second should be exter-
minated without pity. This is belief, based on
years of careful observation, and rejoice to find
that we are supported to considerable extent by
one of the most prominent physicians in this state
who last week said: "They used to hang men for

JUSTICE BREWERS speech in which he suggested
that the right to appeal criminal cases causes law
essness, and his advocacy of curtailment OF that
privilege created much comment that he has
written an article for the New York INDEPENDENT ex-
planning more fully his views On the subject. He
says the appellate courts overworked; that owing
to the right of appeal the lower courts fail to fulfill
their legitimate functions; that in the majority of
important the real legal battle is fought before
the court of appeals instead of before the trial COURT
that the higher courts used to defeat the ends of
justice, and that the system now in vogue has de-
moralzing influence the trial judge and jury, be-
it places the ultimate responsibility in other
hands than theirs. In Short he says that since the
right to appeal from the decision of the trial courts
is greatly abused, and since it is not constitu-
tiona right, but simply statutory privilege, it
should be abrogated.
Justice Brewer would not abolish the court of
appeals, but would make it optional with that court
whether is to be reviewed or not. He would
abolish the right of defeated parties to compel the
higher court to review the decision of the lower
He asserts that delay in executing the laws behess
encourages crime, and that "we shall check the in
crease of crime only when the would-be wrongdoer
feels that there is moral certainty that his crime
will be promptly punished"
No one but practicng lawyer will deny that
long drawn out lawsuits whether criminal or civil
are most annoying and possibly demoralizng to the
community as we'll as to the parties Immediately
concerned but that the abrogation of the right to
appeal will check crime, is another question. It
might if those who commit crime had any idea of be-
ing caught and brought to justice, if the would be
wrongdoer" wasn't acting in the heat of passion OF
if he wasn't morally certain that he get away
without being caught much less brought to trial
But unfortunately we be of one thing
that nothing is farther from the mind of the GRIM
nal at the time of the commission of his crime than
| court of law. So it really wouldn't make much
difference to him whether he had the right to ap-
peal not Abolish that right if tits necessary to dc

The good Doctor is conservative. We confess
to more liberal views, believing that every man and
woman, without exception, found guilty of either
crime or misdemeanor should at once be put to
DEATH Thus in short time society would be COM
posed entirely of persons absolutely without Gin and
this world would be very pleasant dwelling place.
It might be we'll to exterminate not only those
who actually offend against the laws, but also those
who in early life display criminal tendencies. This
would be eminently scientific and will commend
itself to practical men. Children who steal Jam, for
instance, and boys who play truant very often de-
velop into vicious adults, and it certainly would be
good thing to electrocute them before they become
hardened and stepped in crime.

When it is said that the voters of New York
prefer Tammany methods to honesty, there is moth
ing left to say Murphy successful, not because
Low is personally unpopular, nor because demo

York like wide OPEN town and Tammany methods
of doing business. It is their privilege to choose
their own form of government, and if that form

BEFORE the railroads penetrated the Rocky
Mountains all the streams and lakes of that region
abounded with trout. With the railroads came
sporsmen with rod and creel and vandals with giant
powder and in few years only the most inaccessible
waters contained fish. Of late game laws have been
enacted making it serious offense to dynamite fish
and prescribing close season. and quite recently the
railroads. realizing that their passenger traffic has de-
creased proportion to the determination of the trout
have been restocking the waters contiguous to their
lines. Thus in short time the fishing in the Rockies
will be as good as it ever was Perhaps when the
big game is about killed off the railroads will furnish
fresh supply for their passengers.

Is IT possible to do business according to the
Golden Rule and prosper? The members of the firm
of D. Landreth & Sons of Philadelphia say not They
they have tried to do and have found it to be
not at all in accord with modern business principles
The house dealt in seed in large way and failed
last week for large sum. It was founded by an
Englishman of the old school, and tried to give it's
customers the worth of heirmoney and it's employees
the full value of their services, keeping them after
they had become advanced in years and pensioning
them when they became too old to continue in bust
ness. Because of these practices, the firm asserts
that it could not meet competition and was forced
into the hands of receiver.
It seems pretty tough that man should fail
simply because he lives right, but that is sometimes
the way of the world. It is probably true that any
one trying to live strictly according to the Golden
Rule will not be financial success in this age.
That great preoept is like free theoretically it
is above criticism, and it might be practical if all
would adhere to it, but no one can 90 it alone for
