Benefits of Travel.

Travel broadens a man-sometimes
when the engineer goes by the red
target or the operator is taking 40
winlSs. he finds himself broadened out
over half an acre Of landscape
Travel shows man tho resources
OF his county. he may look from the

WITH THE EDITORS.
The Death Penalty.

There are four of the states in which
capital punishment has been abolished
Michigan, wisconsin, Rhode Island
and Maine. Iowa and Colorado abol-
ished 1t at one time, but deemed it best
to restore it, The same experience
was Switzerlands which, after five
years OF abolition. restored the ex-
IRENE penalty. The history of the
movement in the world seems to show
that, while there IS a steady decrease
in the number of legal executions, and
probably an increasing sentiment in
favor Of doing away with capital pun
ishment as humanitarian ideas gain
force, there is at the same time a de-
sire to retain the power of repression
which undoubtedly attends the death
penalty.
IF capital punishment had been abol-
ished in this state a few years ago.
an atrocious murder like that OF Mrs
HOLSTER would have provoked q popu-
lar demand for it's restoration. and 1T
would have been restored by this gem
eral assembly. This is what would
happen If executions were to be for
hidden by this or a subsequent legis-
Iature. Some hideous crime would be
committed, wave Of indignation
would sweep over the state, and the
law would be given its old vigor.
Illinois juries can be trusted in muir
der cases not to impose an unduly
severe penalty. lures In this as in
other states are becoming more and
more unwilling to send a man to the
gallows unless his crime is most alb
horent and his guilt undisputed. Juries
can be trusted not to nang the inno-
cent and tho legislature should not
tie their hands so that adequate pun
ishment cannot be visited upon those
who deserve 1t. II jury shall be I'M
duly severe. there IS a governor who
can revise its decree and mitigate the
penalty. The abolition OF the death
penalty would not be welcomed by the
people az this city, who would rather
have more murderevs hanged than
none.-Chicago Tribune.

ANTI-NJUNCTIoN MEN HIT
Re plies to Two Questions, Which Are
of Vital Importance.

Washington, Feb. 9.-In report on
the personal and property rights in
yolved IN anti-injunction bills now
pending before the house committee on
judiciary a subcommittee headed by
Tirren Of Massachusetts answered
these two questions of vital import
ance to labor interests who are work
ing for an anti-injunction law:
Have United States courts jurisdic-
ton to issue injunctions to protect the
exercise of personal rights as distin-
guished from property rightf
rs the right To carry on business
a property right of such a character
as to be entitled to the protection OF
injunctions in proper casesY'
To the first question the sub-commit-
tee replied that an individual has
right to employ his labor whenever
or wherever he chooses, unless his la
Dor initiates against the public good. !"
The report states that IF the public
veal is affected the right of one must
weld to the rights Of the many" To
the second question the report replies
with an unqualified affirmative, and
quotes in support of this reply from
the celebrated decision on this point
made by Secretary Taft when he was
on the bench at Cincinnati.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Feb. 9.-The stock mar
ket started off with the usual satur-
days dullness. Prices opened fraction
ally lower than last nights final
safes In anticipation of a very poor
showing In the weekly bank statement,
pears took advantage of the lack of
support In the market to hammer down
the stocks. The prevailing sentiment
seems 10 be more in favor Of a reac-
ton than otherwise
Union Pacific lost one point from the
opening price; st. Paul about three
quarters; Copper a point; Reading al
most two. In fact all Of the active
shares showed declines ranging from
ohe-haf TO one per cent.
The one strong feature in a market
that was devoid of strength
was the American Sugar shares. This
STOCK has been a speculative favorite
TOT long time and it usually acts
contrary to the trend OF the general
market The principal reasons assign
ed for the strength was the very sat
lsfactory trade conditions; the belief
that the presen tariff on the raw
material Will not be disturbed. Furth-
ermore there seems to be an unwieldy
short interest in this stock which will
be made to cover.
The bank statement was about as
disappointing a document as has been
| issued in months. Its effect on the
market was rather depressing and il
gave the bears further impetus to press
their advantage. AS a consequence the
general market closed weak and ir-
regular with indications for further re-
cessions throughout the list.

RYAN SEES EVIL OF
STOCK SPECULATION
Declares That Railroad Manipu
latiOn Should Be Taken Out
of Wall Street.

WASHINGTON March 23.-Thomas
F. Ryan, of New York, was in Wash
ineton today. en- route TO his country
home in Virginia. Speaking of the rail"
road problems. Mr.. Ryan said;
1.-The railroads are really owned by
the people, and not by Wall street
brokers. They should be taken out of
Wall street and the stock quotation
tiokers should he taken out of the
railroad Offices. The practical railroad
men who are charged with the respon-
sibility Of operating the railroads
should be in absolute control. They
should welcome every opportunity to
confer with the President, aiding him
III his efforts to reach solution that
will be fair and just to the country and
to the corporations and insure strict
obedience to the law.
Zone of the bad features Of the
present financial situation is that every
money center in the world is finding
use for It's capital in the promotion
Of home industries and issues from the
every effort TO prevent this money from
going into speculation. While | think
we have money enough to take care of
legitimate business, | do not believe,
unless we can draw very largely from
European money ceuters, that there is
enough to carry on an active stock
speculation In Wall street, I think it
is the duty Of the money lenders to
frown upon any undue speculative
movement in any direction.
