REASONABLE DOUBT"
important Measure Striking at an
 Abuse of Criminal Law.

The bill just signed by Gov. Hughes amending the code of criminal proced- ure in regard to the issuance of certi- ficates of reasonable doubt while ap- -peals are pending will end an often criticised legal abuse. Under the old rule. the attorney of a convicted man appealing from his conviction might seek from any judge of competent jur- isdiction anywhere in the state a certi- ficate of reasonable doubt. The grant ing of such a writ kept the prisoner out of jail while the appeal was pend ing The new law provides that such an application may be made only to the judge before whom the case was tried. or to a justice of the supreme court at a special term thereof in the judicial district where the trial was held.
 The certificate of reasonable doubt is an instrument whose intent is to promote justice. If a man has been convicted and if in the mind of the judge before whom he was tried, or any other judge of competent juris- diction familiar with the facts of the case, a reasonable doubt exists that on appeal the conviction will be set aside. it IS fair and just that the con- victed man should have his liberty un- til a higher court has passed final judgment. If the conviction Is an er- TOT. the defendant ought not 10 go to jail. and if in the mind of proper judge there is doubt regarding the con- viction, the defendant may we'll be left free until higher court has clear ed up that doubt. The abuse of the certificate has sprung from judges talk ing the too lenient view that a de- fendant may just as we'll remain at liberty during an appeal. for. if his sentence should be affirmed. the serv- ing of his full term would only be temporarily delayed. Our whole crim- inal procedure is full of excessive re- gard for the criminals rights. and this generous view which many judges have apparently taken of the certifi- cate is animated by the same spirit. But postponing the execution of a sen- tence often lessens greatly a sen- tence's exemplary eject. and it has provoked public discontent with the laws delay.

A SQUARE DEAL PAYS.

Slowly but surely the business world is waking up to the fact that it pays to give the employe a square deal. Enthusiasm, loyalty and interest in the business must be obtained from workers at almost any figure. This de- cision, says a contributor to the Chi cago Tribune, is not based on senti- mentality or philanthropic reasons. but because of the fact that it is largely in the power of the employe to make the dividends large or small.
 Said one manager of a big concern. as this point: Tt pays handsomely to pay liberally and let the worker have fair share of the profits. There are salesmen in here earning as high as s3.000 per year selling goods over the counter. Every man is hired on a weekly salary basis. and at the end of six months his sales are checked up and check made out for the commis- sion due him.
 Firms who try to beat employees forget that by so doing they make life long enemies. A man will knock house where he was badly treated all the remainder of his life. Every em- ploye knows at least fifty other work CTS in his line Of business and each of the fifty has fifty other acquaint- ances"
 High grade employers state that it takes broad gauge men to recognize the fact that it is one of the most difficult things on earth to get SIS worth Of work out of a s12 man; but on the other hand that man who is fairly treated and shown that every thing depends on himself will usual ly pay a bigger dividend on his ser vices than the cheap" man.

 IN THE FEDERATION
The Party of the Miners Magazine in The Affairs of he Organization.

Denver, June 29.-The entire after noon session of the convention was consumed in considering that part of the acting presidents report which refers to the attack made on the Miners magazine and its editor, John M.

 After hours of discussion it was de- cided to hold a session of the conven- tion tomorrow. The new ritual was taken up. The proposition for unions to hold open meetings being the prin- cipsl topic of discussion.
 Joseph Cannon of Bisbee, Arizona, claimed that if the federation had al- ways held open meetings there would be mo trial now going on at Boise '' He said Pinkerton detectives attended all meetings and in order to hold their jobs they made false reports.

Paris, June 29.-With the prestige of last nights victory in the chamber of deputies, Premier Clemenceau is preparing to hasten the adjournment of parliament which is now placed for July '. This means the shelving till the next session of the income tax bill, the vote on which opens on Monday. and other measures like the work mems pension bill and the purchase of the western railroad inscribed in the cabinets calendar when it assumed office.

BISBEE CAMP

 The Colorado rooming house was light wind spread the flames up Chihuahua Hill and to the south. away from the business section of the city. Had it not been for this breeze or had there been a wind in the oth- CT direction the whole business sec- tion would undoubtedly have been de- stroyed. ..-s.
 Practically all the residences on Chi- huahua hill were destroyed, as well as several large buildings on O. K. avenue. The fire was stopped at ll:30 by the use of dynamite on O. K. avenue just as it was about to destroy the Knights Of Pythias building and the Review office. So imminent was the danger to the Review that all the linotypes and other machinery were taken down ready to be taken out. At the time the fire was stopped only a half hour water supply was left in the tank. Between 100 and 150 buildings were destroyed and over 200 families are without homes.
 The total loss is estimated at S20O,- 900. The largest losers are Mrs. Mey- CTS, mother. of Alfred Paul of Doug las, about s40.000. and no insurance; Medigovich and Noble. s12.00O. par tially insured; Star Williams, a tene- lnent house. s10.000. partially insured; John J. Hill, two story lodging house, ss,000; A. Lukovick. s5,00O; Geo. Mo Gilroy. SS,000, insurance $1,60O; H. Cramer. s1O.0O0: home of James Wood. superintendent of the c. & A.. destroy ed. There is a large loss of personal property belonging to miners and la borers.
 Chihuahua hill is beyond descrip- uon. The houses were formerly built on small terraces which are now bare gashes in the side of the hill.
 Jack Perfurth was the only person injured, but not seriously. The fire was very spectacular. eating its way up the hill from one clump of houses to another. The fire department was unable to handle the conflagration as there were no plugs in that section and not sufficient hose. It was only able to check the flames on O. K avenue and leave the rest to burn.

Laugh and the world laughs with

Weep and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow its

But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing and the hills will answer;
Sigh and it is lost in the air;
The echoes bonnd to joyful so und,
But shrink from voicing care"
One OF the first and hardest lessons
which the novice has to learn upon

Whoever takes q little child into

but that child will find it ont. The
children keep us from growing old and
cold; they cling to our garments with
their little hands and impede our pro-

back with their pleading eyes, from
cruel care; they never cucumber us at
