Governor Discusses Crime.

DEMONSTRATING of the prevailing
wave of crime that has swept over Col
Orado in the last few weeks, Governor
Buchtel Tuesday sounded warning
against too drastic condemnation or
any criminals who might fall into the
tolls of the law while excitement over
recent crimes is still at fever heat.
81 wish to express my Judgment that
murderers who take life in cold blood
should receive the extreme penalty and
should never be pardoned." he said.
But by reason of the popular indigna.
ton which has just been aroused
against all murderers, we are in dan
ger of imposing the extreme penalty on
men guilty only Of involuntary man
slaughter. We are likely to go to the
other extreme and start butcherins all
criminals as a reaction from the trials
heretofore, many of which have been
mere travesties on justice.
at has been my observation that the
work of criminal courts is very UNI
equal, and that it is made so by the
whms Of juries. Jurors are apt to be
Influenced by what is popularly called
the higher law and the result is that
many people who should receive severe
penalties escape unscathed. The judge
should see that such feeling does not
initiate against the ends OF justice,
and now that popular sentiment is How
ing the other way there should be an
equally vigorous attempt to insure the
accused against the caprice of a jury
that is inspired by prejudice due to cur
rent events.

Ward Succeeds Cranston.

Denver.-Attorney Thomas Ward.
Jr., was sworn in as United States dis
trict attorney for the district of Colo
RADIO, to succeed Earl NJ Cranston, who
resigned several weeks ago and will
now retire to private practice of the
legal profession. The oath was ad-
ministered in the Federal Court room
by Judge John A. Riner of Cheyenne.
Immediately after the administration
of the oath of office Judge Riner paid
brief but impressive tribute to the
service that Mr. Cranston has done
!. during the seven years of his occu-
pancy of the district attorneys office.
He said that Mr.. Cranston had given
faithful, able and long service to the
government, that he was held in the
high esteem by courts and lawyers
wherever he appeared, and that if Mr..
Ward does as well he will deserve the
heartiest concentration
The taking of the oath of Office made
MI Ward the official district attorney
at once, and from the moment it was
taken he and he alone had power to
sign documents and perform the other
functions of the office. But for several
days Mr. Ward and Mr.. Cranston will
be in consultation in order that the
great mass of information now held by
Mr.. Cranston may be made thoroughly
familiar to Mr. Ward.
A number of indictments are now
pending trial in the Federal Court and
as great part of the evidence has been
gathered and classified under the drec-
ton of Mr.. Cranston. it is considered
likely that he will be requested to as
sst in the prosecutions from time to
time. Violations of postal laws, coun-
terfeiting, and various classes of land
frauds are the most important cases
that Mr.. Ward will have to prosecute.
Judge Lewis is now enjoying a
months vacation in the South. having
left Denver last week. Judge Riner OF
Cheyenne will hear few cases for
him.

The people of Steamboat Springs
are subscribing literally, nearly 30 per

pledges ranging from $25 to $1,000.
Two of those who have subscribed the
latter amounts are j. II. Crawford. one
of the earliest settlers of Steamboat,
who is interested in the coal fields near
here, and F. A. Metcalfe, prominent
real estate dealer.
The company promises to have the
road into Steamboat by December l..
1908. and more than 500 men have
been working all winter on the grade

distant. The citizens of Steamboat
Springs subscribed $4,000 to be paid
the company if the road reached here
by July LIST last, but this was for

English License Bill.

London.-Chancellor of the Elk.
:hequer Asquith introduced the licens-
ing bill in the House of Commons to-
day. This is the principal government
measure for the present session OF
Parliament, and involves vast money
and labor interests. The capital invest
ed In licensed property in this country
is not less than $l,200.0O0.000. while
over 100000 people are employed in
the traffic.
Briefly, the bill provides for the com
pulsory reduction within specified
period and on uniform scale of the
number OF saloon licenses throughout
the country. The number OF saloons to
be licensed is based mainly on the
density Of the population.
In cities it Is proposed to allow one
saloon for every $50 inhabitants and in
the country districts one saloon for
every 400 persons. This regulation, 1t
is estimated, will wipe out in the neigh
/ ,chood OF 10000 licenses, about one
third OF the present total.
The bill proposes that this reduction
be effected within twenty years. The
system OF compromising those entirely
deprived of their licenses Is to lapse
after period Of fourteen years from
the time the act goes into force and
an end will thus be put to the vested
interests in licenses. Local option is
to govern the issuance OF new licenses
and majority of the parochial cleo
tors is sufficient to prohibit the grant
ing of License for period Of three
years, at the expiration OF which new
vote may be taken.
Chancellor Asquith's bold and dras
tic license bill is raising storm OF
denunciation in the opposition press
Mr.. Balfour gave his party lead i'll
brief speech stigmatizing the meas
ure as robbery"
The tremendous strength of the
brewing interests throughout the coun-
try will be brought to bear in an en-
deavor to prevent the passage OF the
bill or to obtain an extensive amend
ment, especially in the direction OF Sc
curing longer time limit than four
teen years, which is regarded as likely
to intiict serious injury to the inter
ests of the shareholders of the brew
ing companies, representing a capital
of 81 ,2O0000,000.
