Boston's Shoe Shipments

The record of Boston's shoe ship
ments for 1906 is now complete,
and while the last six months did
not see so great shipments as the
earlier month of the year, the quaint
ity shipped exceeded the record of
any previous year. The total ship
ments for 1906 were 5,I79,s43 cases
as compared with 800, 1888 cases
for 1905, 4,73o,332 for 1904 and
5,o64, 436 for 1883. If these cases
contained twenty-five pairs of shoes
each, which is a conservative esti-
mate, the number of pairs of shoes
shipped from Boston alone to all
parts of the country and abroad
would amount to. II3,o4o,946, or
more than enough to give every in
habitant of the United States pair
and some a second pair. Kansas

KNOCK OUT DEATH PENALTY

there was little discussion over II
Yesterday. An attempt was made
to amend 1t in such a way that II
would provide for capital putlsh-
ment in certain cases by J. M

from Bourbon county but it failed.
Dayls's amendment was that the
words following should be inserted;
.Or shall shall suffer the death pen
atty as the jury nay direct"
Avote was taken on the amend
ment and it was lost by vote of Sd
to 2e.
The bill was then put on It's fnal
passage and vote taken by roll
call.
Mitchell rushed to the clerk as
soon as the roll was finished and
found that the bill had but 60 votes.

WILLIE SELLS

The regular biennial effort 10 have
Willie Sells pardoned is now on with
great vigor. The Governor has
piles of letters and petitions from
all over the state from parties who
know little or nothing about the
circumstances of this horrid crime,
urging that Willie Sells be pardoned
on the ground of his innocence. II
is claimed that it was impossible for
him TO commit the crime and that
he was not properly tried. We
contend that it wasposslble for him
TO commit the deed and that he had
fair trial and was convicted on in
disputable evidence. That lie con
fessed to the whole deed and des.
cribed it circumstan'i tally.
He may have been temporarily
unbalanced and at the time mentally
irresponsible. That is the Chart
able view of the matter and it does
seem strange that a young boy
would commit such a dastardly
crime against his own family were
he in full possession of his faculties
yet there has never been any evid
ence or indication of his insanity
save the crime ITSELF.
There can be no possible doubt
about his committing the deed.
However if the Governor and par
doning board feel that he has been
punished enough and that the ends
of justice will be better served by
his pardon we have not the slightest
objection, but never on the grounds
that he did not commit the deed.

Now, here is one lad In point, Bert

age, When he was about 20 he
rented some ground and sowed it
to wheat, and bought off mans
right to 3o-acre lot of wheat that
had been sown on the shares for $50
that made thirty bushels to the acre,
and his rented ground made twenty
FIVE bushels that sold for so cents,
and he was at that time working by
the month for his grandfather.
With the proceeds of his wheat and
wages he bought and made payment
on an eighty-scre farm that cost
him $3.50, all under cultivation,
which he has farmed until two years
ago wnet he sold il for Sa, 900.

That an awful good asset in running
