We hear kick by some of our
farmers about the low price of.

we think that later on the price
will be better.

The republicans of the state
have reason to feel proud of the
ticket nominated last week by
the state convention. 1t was the
first complete victory of the
people over corporation control
of the politics of the state. The
ticket is conceded by all to be
exceptionally strong and especial
ly is the head of the ticket popu-
lar with the masses. The selec-
ton of Attorney General Norris
Brown as the Senatorial candi-
date and George l.. Sheldon
candidate for governor, was in
accord with the popular will of
the people and there is no reason
why they should not only receive
the support of the republicans
but large vote from all liberal
voters of the other parties. AS
the election of Mr.. Brown to the
United States senate depends up
on the election of republican
Legislature the Legislative dis
tricts can not be too careful in
selecting their candidates. On
ly those who are in full sympathy
with the principles announced in
the state platform should be
nominated. Corporation or trust
candidates are very likely to be
defeated if nominated. There
is political revolution sweeping
the country and those who think
they can force themselves against
the tide will find themselves dis
appointed and their party defeat
ed when the votes are counted.
The delegates of both the sena-
torial and representative districts
in which Custer county is situat-
ed are urged to be fearless regard
less of friend or foe and see to it
that only such men are nominal
ed that will meet the demands of
the people and in case of their
election fill their respective posi-
tions with credit to themselves
and satisfactory to their consti-
| tuentS.

Baseball Matters.

On Saturday afternoon at, $3.50
o'clock, the Sheridan, Wyoming,
team, which is touring, will play
on the Broken Bow diamond.
The Sheridan club is a decidedly
strong one and all who like to
see baseball in reality will not
fail to witness this game. 1t
will prove we'll worth the price
of admission.
The season is fast drawing to
close and Manager Bray, who
has been active and energetic in
an endeavor to furnish good
games for the baseball enthus-
lasts, begins TO feel the mantle
of responsibility is about ready
to be laid aside. His efforts have
proven quite satisfactory, he has
performed his duties admirably
without money and without price
and deserves much for his untir-
ing efforts.

Is the sentencing of criminals
designed as a punishment for
acts committed, or as an example
to others that they must not
violate The laws? This question
arises daily in the minds of those
who read the reports of the
courts. The old idea was that
the law should not show mercy
it was sternness itself-and the
sentence was simply punish
ment with no thought of reform
ing the man and making him
decent member of society, in
IN place Of an ou,cast. Reform
nowadays seem TO be frequently
thought of by officers OF the law,
and it is believed this pre-
sages we'll for the future.
At Anaconda, Montana, man
was recently released from prison
alter finishing sentence of
seven years for forgery, and he
had behaved so we'll during that
time that he had secured two and
half years "good time"-all
that he could possibly have OBJ
tanned to cutting his salary down.
But at the door of the peniten-
tiary he was met with another
warrant of arrest for forgery, is
sued five years less one day
before he was locked up awaiting
trial. According to law, had he
remained in prison one day long
er he could not have been arrest
ed under the old warrant. Sup
pose he is cleared on this old
charge because of the death or
absence of witnesses, will he not
feel that the world is against
him? During his Incarceration
he behaved better than most
prisoners. Would it not have
been better to have given that
man helping hand and trial
to see if he would not have made
a respectable member of society2
Then, if he failed, it would have
been easy to place him again be-
hind the bars-even if the old
charge was outlawed. a dis
charged convict should not be
given kick on all sides-it you
want to make society better. 1t
is all right to punish for the
abuse of the law, but there are
cases-and the one here mention
ed seems to be one of these
where leniency will accomplish
more to help the world than
following the strict letter of the
law. Years ago there was man
confined in the penitentiary of a
sister state for a serious offense.
He became ''trusty" and he
earned every bit of the good time
possible. He had come west as
young boy and gotten into
trouble. From one thing he had
fallen into another, until he had
committed nearly all the crimes
in the calendar. He professed
that he wanted to reform and
showed 1t by his actions. The
authorities from another state
wanted him on a very serious
charge, but it was a question
whether they could prove the
offense, because of the years
which had INTERVIEWED. There
was "a mistake" made in calcu.
lating his good time and the
officials who wanted him reached
the doors of the penitentiary
after he had been discharged for
a week. He went to another
state, took new name, went to
work like man, gradually built
himself up and is now an honest,
respected business man, sur.
rounded by happy family and
his wife is the only member OF
the community who probably
knows his history. Was not that
action better than sending him
back to prison-even if he could
have been again convicted?

Mr.. Fitz, who was here last week in
connection with the survey being made
for electric line from Nashville to
Chattanooga utilizing power from
Caney Fork Falls, in an interview
with News reporter said: The line
will pass one mile north of your city,
keeping to the north bank of Little
Sequachee river in order to avoid the
building of two bridges, which
would be necessary if it had been de-
cided to build through your town. A
loop line, however, will be constructed
to your place, which will be made
headquarters of the Interurban Sys-
tenn.
The survey is being rapidly pushed,
stakes being driven as far as the pike
above the county bridge Saturday, and
survey in the direction of Inman is be-
ing pushed The line will be surveyed
as nearly straight to the Southern Rail
way bridge as possible.
