The Home Bound After Theater
Crowd In the Capital.

The Home Bound After TheateH
Crowd In the Capital.
"There is one popularity of Wash
ington have noticed" said travelling
man at an uptown hotel, "and that is
the absence of after theater crowds on
the streets and in the cafes. In many
big cities the hours from II to 1890
O'Clock are among the gayest of the
day, the streets are thronged with peo-
pie hurrying TO the cafes for bite and
a sup and emerging afterward to stroll
slowly home or TO the cars.
'These midnight cafe crowds are jol-
ly folks. They seem to be less restrain
ed than at other hours of the day, when
bent upon the same mission of eating.
Perhaps it Is the music and the lights
and the Bohemian atmosphere suggest
ed by the midnight hour. l will not
deny that it is in measure demoraliz-
ing. l am sure l would not want my
two sisters of eighteen and twenty
years to be in the crowd.
81 notice In Washington that as soon
as the theaters let out the people make
a break for home. They are anxious
to get the first car that comes along
and won't wait moment, but would
rather hang to strap.
Washington is frightfully dull
place at night l hate to get hung up
here overnight. But I suppose it's a
good thing for the young folks that the
town is little slow" Washington

The Indians of Alpine county are
making arrangements for a school
house near Woodfords. Captain Pete
Mayo will supply the funds by taxing
the Indians of the Washoe tribe to do
the necessary building. They will ap-
ply to the Government for teacher
and teachers salary. Captain Pete
claims there are forty children OF
school age in that locality whom he
holds from going to the Carson school
on the ground that the children have
not been treated right there.-Appeal

New Lumber Yard.

Parties are endeavoring to secure a
site for small lumber yard in Carson.
1t is understood that the lumber is
to come from a mill near Sheridan,
and by using traction engine the
promoters say they can put lumber in
this city at considerable below the
present market prices. Shingles will
be carried also.
This movement is probably in antic-
ipation of the building boom for this
city.

WHY DEMOCRACY SHOULD WIN.
The issue in this fight is Roosevelt.

| The issue in this fight is Roosevelt.
The republican party is in the ridicu-
lous position of having to nominate a
candidate which it does not want. And
in this very circumstance lies the secret
of the democracy's chance to win. In the
face of the fact that he has, during his
term of president, been an active and
assiduous candidate for reelection, a
condition,whi would of necessity lead
him to temper his acts to accord with
the calmer judgment of his associates,
and proceed in all things with greater
consideration and caution, fearing to
make an error that would be fatal to his
success before the republican conven-
tion-in spite of this circumstance,
which should bring out all the conserv-
atism which he possesses, the republic
can president has alarmed his own party.
He has shown himself to be erratic and
headstrong and, as the head of this great
industrial and peace-loving nation, I'M
reliable and dangerous. And he has
given full evidence of this in the face of
the restraining influence which has
been brought to him by his knowledge
that all his official acts would be care
fully searched when he should appear
before the people for their vote.
Imperious, arbitrary and volcanic,
President Roosevelt has surpassed the
authority of a representative govern
ment. He has ignored the delegates of
the people and the constitution of the
United States. Without warrant he has
assumed the authority of dictator in
time of war. This he has done when he
knew that he would shortly be held
rigidly responsible. What would be the
conduct of President Roosevelt unre-
strained? The perilous international
complications, the disastrous results of
damaging internal policies which this
question suggests to the people, has
made the republicans themselves afraid.

1t is said that Judge Parker has no
doubt of his ability to carry New York.
He will make his fight in that state on
new lines. He believes with proper
organization great democratic farmer
vote that is rarely polled, can be
brought out, and that he can go down to
the cities with the smallest minority
ever known in presidential year, en-
abling heavy democratic majorities be-
low the Bronx to wipe out all the adj
vantages the republicans may have
gained up the state. The democratic
candidate believes the great battle for
the presidency is to be fought in the
East. He has little confidence in the
middle west, though efforts will be made
both in Indiana and Illinois.

HANGING LEGAL IN IOWA.
Decision Is Important One to Grim.
lndl Trials In State.

The prospect for legal hanging in
Iowa is fair.
By an evenly divided court, the death
sentence of Louis Busse, of Bremen
county was confirmed by the Supreme
tribunal of this state.
1t is the law that when the supreme
court divides evenly the judgment of
the lower court stands affirmed, there
being insufficient votes to reverse it.
But an affirmation of this sort is Just
as effective as one of the entire court.
And Busse will hang unless Governor
Cummins decides to commute the SEN
tence to Imprisonment for life.
In arriving at decision in the mat
ter the fact that the court was evenly
divided between affirming the death
sentence and giving the accused new
trial may exert an influence upon the
executive. He has not discussed the
matter, but it might be said that there
is more likelihood of communication of
sentence in case of divided court than
when the supreme court is unanimous.
The decision in the court is not re-
vealed by the opinions. This privilege
is reserved by the tribunal. However,
Justice Sherwin wrote the opinion in
which two other justices concurred, in
reversal of the lower court; while
Judge Ladd wrote the opinion in atfirma-
ton of the judgment of the lower court.
Two justices concurring with Judge
Laid in this affirmation makes it effect
i've over the dissent of the other three
justices of the court.
Justice Sherwin and his associates
contend that Busse lacked of an entire
ly fair trial because, in their opinion,
the instructions of the lower court,
Judge G. H. Kelley, did not properly
present to the jury the possible appli-
cation of the law as to manslaughter to
the confession which Busse admittedly
made that he murdered his wife and
attempted to burn her body. The de-
tense, in theory, was that he was "crazy
wild" when he committed the crime.
Busse was to have been executed,
under the sentence pronounced by
Judge Kelley, on April II, 1908. The
law makes the date of execution, now,
whatever the governor fixes, if, when
the court certifies it's decision to him he;
decides to forward to the sheriff of
Bremen county a death warrant for.
Busse.

Everyone, regardless of his political
or religious faith, who has kept any
track of the career of Samuel NJ. Jones,
of Toledo, Ohio, and who believes in
doing "unto others as We would that
they should do unto you,' which was
the motto of Golden Rule" Jones, will
learn with deep regret of his death. He
was one whose example could be
emulated by all with profit to them
selves and honor to God and man. He
was native of Wales, fifty eight years
old, coming to this country with his
parents when three years of age.

THE GLOOMY VIEW.

LNOIyOOuS agrees UudG Ullefo are CWO
views of the republican national plat
form. 1t is possible for any one in the
proper mental mood to believe that the
platform offers no ray Of hope for the
progressive citizen who desires that his
country shall be superior in everything
and who would deprecate the dead
level of the graveyard for national life.
On the other hand, if the platform is
measured by the suggestions offered
and by other party platforms, and there
is no straining at a special construction,
it will be seen that the platform does
offer ray of hope for intelligent advo-
Gates OF progressive policy for the
nation. A sample of what the first
named view leads to is offered by the
Pittsburg Post, when it says:
"Taken as whole, the platform is
one of the weakest that has ever been
put forth by great national party. 1t
promises no step forward in any direc-
ton. 1t simply means that the republic
can party is content to stand pat where
it is today, which policy if carried into
| effect, would result in the country ret
regarding. Already there are abund-
ant signs of discomfort among many re-
publicans with the existing situation Of
affairs, and these will find nothing to
encourage them in the platform of prin-
ciples by which it is proposed their
party and the nation shall be governed
during the next four years"
1t is easy enough to trace the source
Of this view in the hope that it will be
generally accepted as correct. 1t will
be of great advantage to the democrats
if it can be shown that the platform is
weak and that it promises no step for
ward in any direction That would be
an advantage the democrats would
quickly take to their bosoms.
Everyone knows that where there is
no progress there is in fact degenera-
ton, that to not move forward is equiv
alent to going backward, that failure to
advance means a retrograde movement.
This has been the history Of all nations
and of all peoples and of all parties. If
the fact can be sufficiently impressed
on the American voters in the coming
campaign that the republican platform
at Chicago offers no promise of advance
ment. especially in regard to the great
national issue of finance and trade ex-
pansion, then the outlook is indeed
gloomy for the ticket named at Chicago
Possibly those who are hoping that
this view shall prevail are destined to
disappointment The platform has ex-
pressions which it was sought by the
ireactionaries to have left out because
they limited at progress and broader
policy. If the political campaign is SO
pitched as to make this feature promi-
nent, the whole course~of the campaign
will be changed. 1t lies with the cam.
paign managers to point out the way.
Will these managers take the gloomy
view or will they present bright side
for the attention of the voters?-Des
