gave him brief six years in the
penltentIary.
Albert Holden is not the first
man who has been the victim OF
the same sort of ambition. He
should have recalled the scriptural
advice, Look not upon the wine
when it is red, etc" and applied
the sage injunction to females.
AS destroyer of peace and hap
piness they beat red liquor mile
when taken in the spirit OF alb
sorbing the visible supply. We
can readily understand that some
thing was wrong with Al3ert's
head. 1t is equally clear to us
that something was wrong with
the scoundreps heart. We dIsa.
gree with the Judge who gave him
a sentence less than the limit OF
the law. He should have been
given the limit up to one hundred
years, and then castrated before
his sentence commenced for fear
some fool board of pardons should
turn him loose.
We can readily understand the
fervor of youth leading an in.
nocent maiden astray. We can
comprehend passions blazing fire
consuming moral concept and
breaking marriage VOWS and tear
ing the ten commandments to
shreds for the sake of a woman's
smiles. The greatest minds in
history have failed in this partic-
ular. But it is not given weak
humanity to understand the de-
moniacal deviltry of pastor of
the church of Christ using his
high and holy Office to dcbauch
thirteen members of his flocks.

ALARMING APPETITE FOR WIVES.

The dispatches recount the ad-
ventures and resulting misfortune
of one Rev. Albert Holden, of
Ohio. The gentleman had COM
mon mania for acquiring the at
tections of too many ladies. In
court it was established that he
had securely tied himself to thir-
teen, each one of whom had at
some period in his career sought
and found spiritual peace under
his directions. His plan was to
hold revival meetings at different
places and make a careful and
discerning selection from the eve
lambs Of the resulting flock. AS
was to be expected he came to
grief. To the presiding judge
he claimed that an injury received
in his youth had added his brain
to such an extent that he simply
was the victim of an uncontrol-
able mania to seal himself to
everything feminine that he could
locate and he honestly admitted
that they simply fell into his arms
on sight, The judge seemed to
put some faith in the theory and

THE LOCAL OPTION BILL.

1t now transpires that the new
local option measure is being ad-
vanced by the whiskey men for
the reason that they consider it a
much safer bill than the one al
ready on the books. The matter
of local option is left to the coun
ties instead of the municipalities
and the county commissioners
grant the licenses. 1t has its ad-
vantages. 1t would take the
question away from the spring
elections and would dampcn a
much larger area in our opinion,
1t would also settle it that one
dry town would not lose trade
because sister village was wet.
We agree with the brewers that
the bill is an improveme mt. If
Buchtel would advance as good a
railroad bill we would almost feel
like calling him good governor.

OF all the pieces of unutterable
folly that has as yet been consid-
cred. in the Legislature, the Layton
libel law as affecting newspapers
is the worst. The inspired idiot
who framed it, and the members
who voted for it should be tapped
tor the simples. We cannot
credit it that Gov Buchtel will
sign it even should it successfully
run the gauntlet and come to his
desk. So far as we have OBJ
served. every daily in the state
has denounced 1t and the weekies
are fast taking the matter up. 1t

it, the power OF the press for

THE RAILROAD BILL.

At last the administration meas
ure has been launched in the
Colorado senate. 1t is admitted
that Broad and Vivian have had
as much or more to do with its
being drafted as anyone and this
should speak volumes as to its
generally hypocritical character.
1t is known as the Drake bill and
will probably pass. 1t provides
for a railway commission COM
posed of the members of the state
board of equalization-evcryon
of whom are owned by the rail-
roads, and not one of whom can
spare any time from his other
duties to attend to those of his
new position. 1t denies the ship
per any rights under the decision
until the matter has been threshed
out in the courts and that alone
makes it utterly ineffective.
The whole matter is so clearly
in accord with ante election

ACCORDING to {. F.. Hagar, sec
retary of the state board of par
dons, hanging does not lessen
crime, and he bases this conclu-
sion on what he claims is care
full investigation. He may be
right. but it must be admitted
that no person successfully
hanged has ever been known to
commit another lawless act,
which naturally leads one to be-
lieve that hanging does lessen
crime.-Golden Transcript.
1t is just the fact as stated
above that convinces US that cap
ital punishment does deter crime.
For example, McGarvey, the
Grand Junction murderer, has
forever lost his power to take
human life. Suppose he had
been incarcerated and after a
time pardoned. Is there anyone
who will say that he would not be
apt to commit another murder.
Every man who has taken life
once finds it easier to do so again.

Entered Big League With Cleveland
Ciub-His Advice to Players.
When the season OF major league
ball opened this year and the roster
pf the Boston Americans was given
to the public, many an old time fan
smiled Mt the name of Denton Tecum-
Sch Cy Young, the veteran twirler, and
many were the inquiries made us TO
the possibility of his retiring before
the curtain was drawn down In Octo-
Der.
Few looked to see him last the sea
son out-in fact, for several years the
fans have been looking for his cue to
withdraw from the diamond.
lie is the same old Cy today that he
was In 1902. when to facetious in
quiry he said that he would pitch MS
long as he felt like It; that nobody
could get an injunction TO prevent him
from twirling except Father Time.
Cy is an o1d character In that he
refuses absolutely to discuss his pnst
history MS ball tosser. lie won't tell
HIS closest friend how old lie was
when he started to play the game. and
he Is equally reticcnt about raking
over his past performances.
But to the young player who seeks

down few simple rules, which are
