OF all the many curious turns taken
by public sentiment probably one Of
the most remarkable has developed in
Washington where the citizens of
Corvallis are raising a fund by subscrip-
ton to purchase gold medal to be pre-
scented to one of their townsmen who Is
in jail for having killed man.
No less peculiar than this action Of
the Corvallis people are the circum-
stances leading up to it. The man slain
was the founder of the sect known as
the Holy Rollers whose teachings and
actions had previously led to his being
tarred and feathered and ridden out of
town on a rail by one community. He
had served a term in the penitentiary
on a criminal charge connected with his
attempt to found a new religion.
The man who slew him is the brother
of two women who he says were ruined
by the dead man. The killing was not
done in the heat of passion but DELHI
erately and coolly. He left his home
for that purpose and sought his victim
In one town after another until he found
him.
He located him in Seattle and when
the object of his vengeance came onto
the street he shot him to death. Having
ended his mission he told the officers
what he had done and why and went 10
Jail
His neighbors at home will not only
present him a gold medal but they will
employ the best criminal lawyers 10
defend him and among the leaders of
the movement to set him free is the
father of the dead mans wife.
Here was a taking of life which fills
about all the specifications of a murder
charge, deliberate and premeditated
and yet the murderer probably will be
given his liberty just as soon as a jury
can get a chance to pass on his case.
Respect for law is good both in theory
AMI practice but it is not apparent at all
times. What would you do If you were
on the jury and the facts were proven
to be as set forth abOve2

Profits of 8funicipally-0wned Gas.

Gas, in Manchester. costs the con-
sumner two shillings and fourpence. or

Corporation the price ranges from

DON'T WORRY ABOUT FAR1fERs.

The political situation in Kansas is
attracting the attention of the remain
der of the country this year, as it al
ways does when there is anything
doing" in Sunfower politics. The Ne
braska State Journal refers to the re-
cent Republican state convention and
its work as follows:
1T must be admitted that the Re
publican outlook in Kansas has not
been improved by the manner in which
the state convention was managed by
the railroad politicians. These matters
can no longer be CLOSED over by the
voters. AS far the newspapers, they
are speaking out with a vehemence
and independence never before noticed
in the Sunhower state. If disaster com es
to the party It will come through the
operation of the free political pass, by
means of which the state convention
was seduced out of the plain path of
duty. While the farmers were busy
blowing and planting, serene in the
belief that an aroused public senti-
ment was driving the railroads out Of
politics. the railroad politicians were
getting their kind of folks chosen on
the county delegations. Perhaps after
all it serves the farmers right"
There is really no occasion for any
worry about the Kansas farmers. They
are in the majority and they know it.
Perhaps that is the reason that they
pay so little attention to the primaries.
They feel secure in the reflection that
if the party slate doesn't suit them,
they can walk up to the polls and
smash it in November. They have
done it more than once.

MAKING ANARCHY RESPECTABLE

II
If Chancellor Day, of the Syracuse
university, can succeed in making the
public believe that the utterances of
President Roosevelt are anarchistic, he
will do more toward making anarchy
respectable than Herr Most and Emma
Goldman have been able to do in years
of talking and writing.
The people are not to be frightened
by mere names. They approve the pres
doing they become convicted of anarchy
then so much the better for that faith.
The fact is Chancellor Day has not
made any new suggestions. Any attack
on so-called vested rights, on greed, on
public robbery by apparently legal
methods has always been called anarchy
or some similar name by those whose
CRAFTS seem likely to be curtailed there
by.
While Professor Day probably is not
a stakeholder in the Standard. he is a
beneficiary of its methods of doing
business, through a rich endowment of
the educational institution with which
he is connected.
There seems to be little freedom any
where from the baleful influence and
contamination of the Rockefeller inter-
ests. They have debauched wherever
possible. the congress, the judiciary, the
church, the colleges and universities and
the press. Now the one man whom they
could neither frighten nor purchase, is
being branded as an anarchist by one of
their fOoIs
