BIG ROAD, SMALL EDITOR.

We wonder sometimes what the law
is for anyhow. Common folks like
the editor of this paper and his read
ers have to obey it, but a railroad
company can obey or disobey as it
pleases. We never broke the law but
once, when summonsed to appear as
a witness in a case, forgetting to at
tend, and as our name was not called
To testify no harm was done, but we
were at once hauled up and asked
to explain why. There are dozens
of infractions OF the law every week in
this county, but no notice is taken CT
them. What is the trouble anyhow?
Are the officers afraid OF the railroad
company because it is big, and have
no fear of the editor because he is
small?- Bedford Bulletin.

not permitted to do. Just why, is the

dues.

1t has gotten to be almos a fad as
soon as convictions OF criminals are
secured and they are sent to penitenti-
airy, that their cases are taken up by
counsel, and the Governor inteIceded
with to grant a pardon. Juries. Court,
and others sign the petition, the lawyer
mercedes with the Governor, and soon
the person is back again. Juries, after
convicting a person should go slow In
signing a petition to release. If the
prisoner was not guilty OF the offence
charged they should say 80 in their
verdict. Unless there be new evidence
discovered, which seldom ever occurs,
convicted criminals should be compell-
ed to serve their time. A prisoner is
given time off his sentence for good be-
havior, and this should suffice.
The Governor is not so much TO
blame as the juries who place their
signatures to such papers, and that,
too, after they have rendered their
verdict in accordance with the law and
the evidence. Yet, this kind OF business
has gotten to be so common that we
believe Governors should take this
matters themselves under considera-
ton and veto this growing evil, and
listen less to those who are paid TO in
teIcede.
Recently we have heard of one or
two criminals in this county being
pardoned when the open" is the best
place for them. Had they staid their
allotted time it would have been the
best for them and the public.

EX-SENATOR BURTON.

Ex-senator Burton, OF Kansas, who
was convicted and sentenced to six
months Imprisonment in jail, and fined
$250000, has served his term and
returned to his home. Upon his re-
turn he received an ovation from his
own people which was as hearty AS it
was remarkable and enthusiastic. He
addressed a large crowd at the thea cr
and his excoriation OF President
Roosevelt and the sugar trust was
very severe. He charged the Presi-
dent with using his influence to convict
him because he would not advocate
special legislation in the interest Of the
sugar trust which had taken millions
out of the pockets of the people, and
also, he charged that as reward for
all who had testified against him that
the President had given them office
since the trial. Again, he says, that
while he was in Jail serving his sentence
a certain United States Senator, then
on his way to Washington to take his
seat in the Senate, called on him and
acknowledged that he himself was
guilty Of the same offense for whit h
he, Burton, was convicted. Yet he
was on his way to Washington to
assist in making laws while Burton
was in Jail. If all this be true Burton
is undoubtedly a much prosecuted
man.

LIQUOR LEGISLATION - A pos
SIBLE SOLUTION.

Two things must be conceded. One
lis. that the manufacture and sale of
liquors will never be entirely abolished
in the United States-certainly not
until the millennium, or such time
when all men will become entire tee
totalers.
The absolute and entire abolition Of
the traffic is an Utopian dream that
may be reality some day, and TO in
sist upon it now is waste of time and
useless.
Admit again, that its use is some
times a necessity. The physicians say
so-scientific men say 50. Then, it
should and will be sold. What then ?
Reduce the evil to the minimum. How?
The open saloon should GO The open
saloon is a hotbed OF evil. Every
body, saloon keepers themselves adj
NIT this. Open saloons, where men OF
all grades and classes may assemble
stay as long as they choose and do as
they please, is menace to the good
order and morals OF community.
Close the saloons.
Forbid the shipment of liquor into
dry" and local option communities.
The jug trade" is as bad almost, in
its results, as open saloons. It's use
less to close saloons in one town or
city if another town or city is permit
ted to ship in liquor. If New York
were the only town in the United
States where liquor was sold, San
Francisco, and all intermediate towns
would have liquor. Pass the Hepburn
bill as step. Stop shipping into dry
towns and communities where the
people have voted it out. But 1t will be
made and somewhere and somehow.
No use to deny this.
Let it be made under strict govern
ment supervision, so that an absolute
ly pure article will be assured. It's the
quality as well as the quantity Of
liquor drank that causes much of the
trouble.
- let it be sold same as any
&. eoison- is sold-by reputable
ked druggists, and only by them in
small quantities, upon a prescription
from reputable physician, which pre-
scription shall not be reflled In ad-
dition to these restrictions pass such n
law as will hold the physician who
writes the prescription and the drug
gist who fills it responsible under
heavy penalty, for violation Of these
conditions. If such law and condition
prevailed generally it can be readily
seen that the evil would of necessity
be reduced to the minimum. OF course,
the druggist would be exempted from
the law prohibiting the moving of
liquors from one state to another. Put
the sale of liquor on the same basis
with strychnine, morphine and other
poisons, except that a physician can
now buy all the dope he chooses un-
der cover OF using it in his practice, if
he so chooses. Prohibit this, of course.
In regard to liquor.
AS finality and addition-make the
carrying Of pistols a felony. Let the
penitentiary gates and stripes stare
every man in the face who carreis a
gun.
y There may be weak points in these
propositions-of course there are, and
objections, but if they prevailed, there
? would be fewer deaths, less disgrace
and the number of broken hearts and
ruined homes would be diminished In
Jour fair land.
