One of the things we could never
see the consistency of is the award
ing of verdict for a nominal fine and
a brief Imprisonment in case
committed the cardinal crime of the
entire category-that of murder. If
man is proven guilty of having will
fully and maliciously murdered a
fellow being is it neither justice nor
a sufficient protection to society to
turn the murderer loose after a brief
term of Imprisonment, and a fine,
thus virtually saying to the vicious
element, IF man annoy you kill
him and pay the state in dollars and
cents for the privileged" On the 9TH
~ hand if a man is justified in TAX
ing the life of another, as is unfor-
tunately sometimes the case, is it
Justice to the man who has been
forced to protect himself, to say that
he must be disgraced by DOMINIC the
felon's stripes for single hour. or
that human life has only a money
value, and whether or not a man is
justified in killing another in de-
Tense of his property, his life, or
what to a true man is dearer still his
honor, he may commit the deed,
with the assurance that he will only
be required to pay a stipulated
amount to the state?-Ada Demo-

The editor of the McGregor Mir
ror breaches a sermon on civic i'm
proyement which applies to all
towns, and if taken seriously, would
result in much good. Here is what
the Mirror says; Did you ever go
to town and admire its beautiful
homes, its well-kept streets, its good
walks, pretty lawns and shrubbery?
Did you compliment the people who
We're responsible for such pleasant
surroundings? Didn't you feel a de-
sire to live in such a place? Well,
bud, that town wasn't an accident
1t didn't just grow up by itself. 1t
takes labor and skill to produce such
results; and labor costs money. The
people who were responsible for the
weil-kept town were not money-hun-
cry; they We're living on a higher
plane than money boarding; they
realized the fact that the journey of
life is made but once; they believed
in cultivating a love for the beauti-
tul; they merely wanted the COM
forts which money affords. This
characteristic is essential in town
building, city building or farm build
ing. Its results are apparent in
the country as Wen as in the towns
You see it eXemplified every day; the

A DUTY OF THE PRESS.

CRATER, crook, or public wrong
doer fears free newspaper much
more than he does the law. Some OF
the most gigantic swindles of modern
times have come to light as a result
of newspaper publicity. A free and
Independent press is the best safe
people can have. For a newspaper to
be free and fearless in its policies
and utterances, it should be tied to
no party or set of men If a news
paper must wink at corruption or
must sanction corrupt methods, be-
cause a party of certain interests
must be protected, then is its useful
ness at an end. In speaking of a
newspapers duty to the public by
all public questions, the Kansas City
Star says: This function can not be
performed by the newspaper which
colors it's news and its opinions to
suit it's party or it's corporation affili-
atoms. Under such conditions the
people are not given the data on
which to base an intelligent opinion.
1t was easy enough for them to know
that they were being oppressed by
the Stuart Kings When property
was contiscated and good men
thrown into Jail there was no great
need of newspapers to arouse the
country The menace of modern OPP
preston is more subtle thing The
favored corporation exacts its plum
der in ways that escape observation.
Unless publicity is given by the in
dependent newspaper there is al
ways danger of the recrudescence of
feudalism, benevolent but deadening,
exploiting the people for the benefit
of favored class. With such news
papers offering daily the raw ma
terial on which to build an enlight-
ened public sentiment, privilege loses
much of its menace. In the long run
it must succumb to publicity"
