A TEXAS VERDICT
Kansas has always been con-
sidered a free k state.

Kansas has always been con-
sidered a freek state.
But
Kansas, even with Carrie Ma
ton, has never done anything
equal to what a Texas jury did a
few days ago.
In south Texas town an old
man 78 years old was brought up
on a charge of horse theft. He
had a hearing before the judge.
and by jury of twelve men he
was given a sentence OF guilt
and his punishment fixed at 1000
years in the penltentiary.
The moral OF this story is this I:
Texas burns negroes at the take
for al implied crime; Texas
works a man found riding on q
freight train sixty days on the
county road, and for killing a
man Texas gives a man bond
from $3.50 to $4,000, but il he is a
horse thief he gets the full PEN
atty of the law and is sentenced
to 1000 years.
What manner of man can that
judge be who will entertain OF
receive from jury such ver-
dict?
To say the least OF it, it makes
the occupant of the bench a jes-
ter at ju tice, and the authorities
comedians in a court where a
man charged W tn a crime ex-
poets mercy.

You wonder that the people of
Texas have such a contempt for
law; that they continue to be
worse than barbarlans in their
treatment Of men, even suspected
of crime?

tory is better.

The woman who wishes 70 be as

great deal OF consideration to her diet.

are too prone TO say, "Oh, can eat
anything" and proceed TO carry out
