imprisonment, is IL not understood to
mean that he is to end his days in the
pcntentiary? Does IL involve the idea
that as soon as confinement begins to tell
on his health he is to be turned loose
on the community, and to be the reci-
pient Of sympathy which is refused to
many righteous but patient sufferer
in nearly every community? DO we not
know now for a certainty that imprison-
ment will shorten his life?
Let us ponder on these things now,
when the mans crime Is fresh in men,
DRY and while Indignation is yet hot
within us, so that in the time of appeal
for signature of petition for pardon, we
may not be moved to play the selatinous
sentimentalist and supplement the ghoul-
ish work Of those showering the fresh
murderer with roses by making his latter
days those of perfect freedom and pleas
antness and peace Let us become thor
oughly grounded in the knowledge that
punishment for murder will be a pre-
ventive and protection to the public in
the highest degree only when 1t is sure.

Enforcement of Obnoxious Law.

In discussing the liquor legislation now
spread on the Vermont statutes the Mont
pelier Journal very pertinently and very
tru.afully remarked:
ut behooves such license men as be-
lieve in the new law as a temperance
measure--to get together and see to 1t
that the law is enforced if they desire
to see it retain its place on the statute
books"
This presentation of truth moves the
Barre Times to give expression to another
truth, which, by the way, has not al
ways been accepted and acted upon as
truth. The Times says:
1T behooves all men to see that the
law is enforced. whether the law be
distasteful to them or not"
In other words the esteemed contem-
porary would not have the opponents Of
license follow the example of some of the
license organs In the larger Vermont
towns, which could find no ridicule too
extreme, no epithet too mean, to heap
upon those who sought to enforce the
prohibitory law: and which even had the
temerity to attempt to discourage the
States attorney from the performance
of his duty in connection with the exc
cutio1 OF the law.

Direct Taxation and Good Roads.

1t is highly significant that Governor
Odell of New York in the course of mis-
address before the good roads convcn-
tion in Albany urged economy upon the
delegates, making the striking announce
mcnt that it would be impossible for the
Legislature to appropriate $4,000 for
good roads this year unless the taXpay-
crs of the State desire to return 10 di-
rect taxation. State Engineer Bond
shows that different counties OF the
State have paid out $4,000 and the
state 100000. There are appropria-
tions for 4Si miles of permanent roads
and 800 miles have been actually COM
peted.
If Congress passes the Brovnlow bill
making an appropriation of at least $780,
900 to each state which provides sim
liar sum for the construction of improved
highways. the people of Vermont will be
brought face to face with the question
which has been emphasized by Governor
Odell in relation to improved highways in
the Empire State, namely, whether or
not direct taxation shall be resorted to
in order to provide improved high
ways on n somewhat elaborate scale
If the people of Vermont are to receive
any of the benefits flowing from such q
national appropriation, it Will manifestly
DO necessary for us to choose between
direct taxation and the issuing of bonds
for this public work.
The system Of State aid for improved
highway construction in operation al
ready in Vermont involves an increase
in the direct tax for every honest tax
payer In the State. 1t is worth while for
the taxpayers of Vermont to inquire
whether the fnanciers of other States
arc wise In doing away with direct taxa
ton to as large a degree as possible or
whether we are wiser in our generation
In seeking to increase our direct taxa
ton for public work of this character.
IT is also timely for us to inquire
whether more real progress in the di-
rection of permanent highway construc-
ton Of benefit to the whole people would
not be made under uniform system
looking to the cventful joining of trunk
lines through the towns and counties
instead of scattering the road fund 50
that in many cases the general public
has difficulty in knowing by practical
experience where n towns share of the
proceeds of the State highway tax has
been expended.

Murder aud Sticky Standardization.

II the truth could be known II would
undoubtedly be discovered that Joseph
Bean. who was recently sentenced at
murder of Ephraim Root In West Roches-
ter. Is already counting on executive
clemency. That an attempt will probably
be made some time in the not distant
future to secure pardon for this bastard
ly assassin, does not need to be demon
strated to those who are acquainted with
the recent criminal annals Of our State
Sickly sentimental individuals will CO.
operate with members of the bar work
ing for compensation to circulate petit
tions calling upon all humanely disposed
persons to ask for the release OF the
prisoner, on the ground that imprison-
men does not agree with his health, or
the pretext that he has dependent rela-
tive who is suffering on account of lack
OF his support, or on the plea that he
has been punished enough anyway. Sad
dest of all and at the same
time most disgusting Of all fea-
lures OF such cases. men and
women who have either never known
of the horrible features OF the mans
deed, or who have become Indifferent to
the prevalence of crime and the welfare
Of society. and who know nothing what
ever about the evidence in the case, will
readily sign petitions calling upon the
states executive to release this poor
man.

Making of Presidential Candidates.

The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
quotes the following from a statement
made by the late James G. Blaine:
at is the law of American politics that
no man can make himself a candidate for
President, and no man can prevent him
self from being a candidate for Presi-
dent"
This is true, in the sense in which 1t is
used and yet the supreme test of this ut
terance lies in its application. The Com
mercial Tribune. which is supposed to
voice the political sentiments of Perry
Heath secretary of the republican ma
tional committee, is well known to be
bitterly opposed to the denomination of
President Theodore Roosevelt and equally
enthusiastic and persistent In his advo-
of Senator NJ. A. Hanna Of Ohio. The as
sumption Is legitimate. If not fairly con-
elusive, that this quotation from the ut
terance of the "Plumed knight" of Maine
is aimed at Mr.. Roosevelt and Senator
Hanna respectively.
The fact remains, however that man
can make himself a candidate for the
presidency and he can prevent himself
from being the candidate OF his party.
If any politica; thinker is inclined to
doubt this. let him consider the first nom-
ination and the present attitude Of Will
liam j Bryan.
