PURSUIT OF PLEASURE

The pursuit of pleasure has
been, is and even will be the
monumental task Of the human
race. Even the man who daily
deprives himself of some trife
does so that he may be thereby
gratifed-pursue the pleasure
Of self denial. And after all
the pursuit Of pleasure is not
wrong. Life would not be
worth living if it were not for
the pleasures. But need those
pursuits be gratified in the near
sighted way that has so recently
caused a tragedy in New Yorks
What happiness can be had at
the expense Of others lives?
Such mean and vulgar self
qualification can only be likened
to the python that seizes and
brushes little child and graft
fies itself with gorging.
The glittering brilliancy OF
many lights,the dazzling beauty
and perfume, Of arms and
shoulders, the Roman suppers
music and shapely ankles are
not essential for pleasure. Such
pleasures denote a low vitality
and a lower mentality. Clancy
the difference in the mentality
of a man who takes keen en-.
joyment from the touch of the
west wind against his cheek,
the scent Of a blossoming field
of clover, above a hazy line o
blue hills, and a man who re
quires a stuffed body, musk ant
dancing women infront of foot
lights"

the right to impose laws upon
her citizens for the common
good, the public welfare. But
does capital punishment re-
dound to the greater goou9 In
imposing the death penalty the
state can have but two objects.
The one is by making an ex.
ample of the culprit others will
be prevented from crimes; the
other is to protect society from
the evil doer. Will not life i'm
prisonment serve the latter pur-
posee And in this impnson-
ment is there not a better solu-
ton for the former. Here is a
convict, a living, walking ex-
ample in penal strip es to warn
others against malafactlons. A
man is hung; his death is soon
forgotten. Surely there is no
terrible lasting example there.
Terrible perhaps but not en-
during.
1t has been the history in
states where capital punish
ment has been abolished that
crime has not increased, on the
contrary 1t has decreased. And
it is also we'll known that in the
states where the rope and chair
are used that the number OF
crimes are growing greater. We
need. only turn to the pages OF
English history where even petit
larceny was punished by death,
to learn that this was the great
est period of crime in the his
tory Of England. May the time
soon come when no judge with:
in the hands Of our nation will
be obliged to pronounce that
awful sentence of death, q sen
tence whose only merit lies il
Its accordance with the old Mo
sale law: can eye for an ey'
and a tooth for a TOOTH"

THE BUZZARD

Shot at his very door, muir
dered before the eyes Of his wife
was the fate that overlook War
ner Moody. He was slain be-
cause he sought to stay the on
slaughts of those bnzzards in
human guise that are preying
upon every homeseeker that
reaches the town of Shoshoni.
And yet the buzzard sails on,
comes and is gone. He does
not rob like a manly thief. He
does not kill like an honest foe.
But by stealthy, lowly fraud he
seduces his victim, after that
victim has been made an easy
mark by drugged fire water, in
to his den and there blythe cleo
trio wheel and other similar
ldeyilish devices he picks his
prey. And let anyone seek to
thwart the buzzards designs
then will he kill and kill from
ambush like the coward that he
lis. And after the buzzardl
have gone q lone woman stands
in silence and looks down init
the dead face Of a beloved hus
band. A husband dead becaus.

THE RUSSIAN SITUA TON

THE RUSSIAN SITUATION
Russia is on the verge of a gi-
gantic upheaval. The spark of
intense party hatred which lay
smouldering for the past few
months was enkindled afresh
during the past week and threat
ems to burst forth throughout
the entire Empi.e with renewed
energy. 4
ukase was promulgated, dissolv-
ing parliment, calling for new
elections and fixing the time for
the convocation of the newly |
chosen representatives as March
3, 1907.
This suppression of Russia's
first popular assembly will
be received throughout the
world with floods of ridi )
cule, but in Russia the effects
are more deplorable. Disorder
and rebellion are unavoidable
consequences. The Russian
ruler with his usual hesitating
propensities has inflicted the last
wound upon the common class
es. Their patience at length is
exhausted. The imposition is
unbearable. A fresh reign of
bloodshed is the inevitable re-
suit and new and bitter revolt
promises to shake the Empire
to it's very foundation.
The dissolution Of parliment
is the outcome of weeks of strife
between the Gar and the douma
or the representative body
chosen by the people. The de-
mands Of the populace were
persistently refused and the
controversy became all the more
bitter until it eventually cul-
inmate d in dissolution of par
lament, which implicitly means
the fiat denial of all public de-
mands.
The reason for the emperor's
rash act can never be ascertain
ed. How he expects to main
tain his position at the head of
the Russian people and act in
direct variance to their wishes
is a problem that he alone can
solve. The despotis1n that has
prevailed in Russia for hundreds
of years has brought forth an
awful issue. The lower classes,
deprived almost entirely of edu-
cation, have been subject to the
domineering hand Of the Gear
and his favorite upper class I'M
til the land has become one OF
slavery and crime. The Japan
ese war was the first manifest
alton of the real internal cor.
ruption of the nation. Itshowed
that numbers do notcount when
there is dissention in the ranks
and that cruelty and oppression
can never be rewarded with.vic.
tory and triumphs.
The Russian dynasty is ap.
appearing in it's last act. The
Gar Nicholas, the last Of a long
line Of despots is shown to be
man of an exceedingly weak
character, easily influenced by
his advisers; a mere tool in
their hands. The dawn of civil.
iizatioR has awakened the Rus.
sian people to the true situation
and they go in quest Of thei1
God-given rights. And before
the curtain shall descend for {
last time many new and strange
facts will appear in confirma-
ton Of the truth that call me1
are born free and equal"

FALSE PROSPERITY

al
A woman starved to death in
Madison square, New York, a
few days ago. For two weeks
she had lived, day and night, on
the benches Of the park. Thou
sands of people passed her
daily, but her mute pleas for as
sistance were UNDECIDED, and her
dying agonies were unnoticed.
Not quite unnoticed, though,
For once an old man was OBJ
served giving her a glass OF
milk, and again laboring man
on his way to work was seen di-
viding his lunch with her. Sue
cor came again when the woman
was dying. 10 the tardy res
cuer she gasped out that she
was penniless, homeless,
friendless and i'll = that for
three days she had not tasted
fsed When the ambulance
reached her she was dead
starved to death in the great,
rich city of New York, and in
full view of New York's Chris
tian people!
Who the woman was no one
knows. She goes to her paup-
er's grave merely ss SO much
clay. But it was learned, ere
she died, that she was a woman
of education and some refine
ment, and her starved and raw
aged face still bore traces of
beauty.
There is nothing particularly
notable about this story. 1t is
nothing entirely unusual fol
women and little children, as
! we'll as men, to starve to death
in the United States, as in the
| the other civilized countries
All that is striking in this case
, is that starvation was in full
view Of the public; was gazec
on callously and unfeelingly by
thousands Of people every day
for two weeks. But in novels
$ and garrets and cellers, in little
9 shacks and in holes under side
1 walks and in all manner o
Z places, there are people starving

traidora Y alevosamente por los

que los acusados habian confesa-
do su culpabilidad y que pidie-
ron al Juez Frank W, Parker,
que Sc les admitiera ell alegato de
asesinato en- segundo grado,
pero que dicho magistrate Sc ne
60 . admitirlo, ordenando quela

corte 'nombro a los licepciados
Elfego Baca, j. g. Fitch y A. A.
SedilIo para que tomaran q su
cargo la deiensa, y Sc procedio
inmediatamente con el iuicio de
la causa. A mas de la confession
que fu6 hecha por Wales y Saiz,
la evidencia directa y eircunstan-
cial EN- contra de ellos fue muy
fuerte y conclusive, de manera
que al ser juzgados Sc les declare
culpables de asesinato aunque
en- diferentes grades pues Carlos
Saiz, fu6 hallado con culpa en-
primer grado, y su companero
Eliseo Wales en- segundo. Pro.

uno de los documentos de estado
mas bien redactados Y bien con.
cebidos de cuantos mensajes han
salido de la Casa Blanca desde la
fundacion del gobierno. Sean
cuales fueren las diferiencias de
opinion respecto al caracter Y
condutcta Official del Presidente
nadie puede negar sus dotes SUI
periores como hombre de estado,
su habilidad como escritor V su
tino y sagacidad como gober-
nante. FL mensaje actual ha me-
recido encomios Y alabanzas ell
todas parties, no solamente en- los
confines de los Estados Inidos
sino en- muchas de las naciones
extranjeras, Y Sc admira la pure
"a de La dicci0n. la robustez del
estilo y la perspicacia con que
coge al vuelo la sustancia de las
cuestiones mas importantes y
mas delicadas. Una muestra de
este Sc halla patente en- ell trata
miento de la question de la exclu
sion de ni1os japoneses de las es.
cuelas p6blicas de San Francisco,
la cual afirmaba la prensa sensa.
cional que seria causa de un rom
pimiento de relaciones diploma,
ticas y hasta causa de una guer-
ra entire los Estados Unidos y el
Jap6n. La actitud franca y sin
cera que toma el Presidente en- su
mensaie sobre esta question, y
las justas y merecidas aiabanzas
que prodiga al Japon y q los ia

potencias, por sHs hazanas en- las
artes de la guerra y de la paz Y
por sus progresses Ell las indus

attributes de un pueblo altamen-
tie civilizado, pone en- clarO cuan
quimericas y desacertadas son
las. .afirmaciones respecto 4 que
pudiera haber guerra entire los
dos paises. El Presidente expone
con energia y lucidez ell derecho
de los iaponeses q ser tratados
con las mismas consideraciones
que los s1bditos de otras nacio-
nes, y manifesto que desde hace
muchos amos han tenido entrada
franca q las principales universi-
dades y colegios del pals, Ell los
cuales los alumnos de esa nacion
Sc han distinguido altamente poI
sus adelantos y progreso en- to-
dos ramos de estudio, y que ESQ
prneba 10 ridiculo & injusto del
proceder del cuerpo de educaci6n
de San Francisco cuando trata
de exclucir q los nihos iaponeses
de las escuelas pGblicas. Esta es
la satisfaction mas completa que
podia darse & las suceptibilida
des de un pueblo orgulloso y al

duda que servira para hacer mas
estrechas y firmes las relaciones
de amistad entire las dos nacio
nes. Esta es un muestra sobrt
