That the way of the transgressor is
particularly hard in the Philippines is
evident from appeals now pending in the
Supreme Court from five sentences af-
iirmed by the Insular Supreme Court for
ofenses committed In those possessions.
All the appeals are criminal cases. and
IN each the claim Is made, among others,
that the sentence Is cruel and unusual
punishment contrary TO the provisions
of the American Constitution
Three OK the cases which. under Amer
lean law. would be tried as simple EN-
bezzlement, were prosecuted under Span
ish law covering Justification OF govern
ment documents. to which a heavier pen
atty attaches. and the sentences aggre-
gated sixty-six and three-fourths years,
although the total amount involved was
but $3.50
In one case. that Of Frank de I. Car
rington. formerly major in the First IN
fantry. who embezzled 81 500 Of the funds
appropriated for the Filipino exhibit at
the ST. Louis Worlds Fair by turning
in false vouchers, the Philippine Supreme
Court, to which he appealed, increased the
penalty 10 fourteen years and eight
months. and fine OF 1.250 pesetas on
each Of the three counts. or over forty
four years in all. this. however. being
subsequently reduced 10 an even forty

Cyrus Leland of Topeka, who has been
one OF the Republican leaders Of Kansas
for more than a quarter of a century,
said yesterday that the Republicans of
his State are for Taft. and win be for
Taft in the Republican national conven-
ton next year.
Kansas Republicans. first of all. are
for Roosevelt and everything that Roose-
welt wants" said Mr.. Leland, last night.
and they believe that the President
wants TO see Secretary Taft nominated as
his successor. That of itself is sufficient
to make the State for Taft, However, il
viii be an injustice 10 the Secretary To
leave the impression that his strength
lies solely in the fact that our people be
lieve President Roosevelt Is for him. Mr..
Taft has visited Kansas several times,
and has made many strong personal
friends. In addition, his public career
has marked him as a man of great ability
ard endless capacity for work. and he
has made il clear that he stands for the
progressive policies and principles that
the great masses of the people believe in. b"
