Governor pIseusses Crime.

Denver-Speaking 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 OF
any criminals who might fall into the
tolls Of the law while excitement over
recent crimes is still at fever heat.
Il wish 10 express my judgment that
murderers who take life In cold blood
should receive the extreme penalty and
should never be pardCned.' he said
but by reason Of the popular indlgna.
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 10 the
other extreme and start butchering all
criminals as reaction from the trials
hcretofo e. many OF which have been
mere trayestics on Justice.
1T has been my observation that the
work OF criminal courts is very un'
equal, and that II is male 20 by the
whims OF jurles. 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 zee that such feeling does not
initiate against the ends Of justice,
and now that popular sentiment is flow.
ing the other way there should be an
equally vigorous attempt to Insure the
accused against the caprice Of n jury
that is inspired by prejudice due to cur
ront events"

English License Bill.

London.-Chancello OF the Ex-
chequor 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 $1,000. 0.00O, 900, while
over ., 100000 people are employed in
the traffic.
Briefly, the bill provides for the COM
pulsory reduction within specified
period and on a 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
| ,rhood of 10000 licenses, about one
third of the present total.
The bill proposes that this reduction
be effected within twenty years. The
system of compensating 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 in
a 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 infiict serious injury to the inter
ests of the shareholders of the brew
ing companies, representing a capital
of $1,000 100000,

JOURNALISTIC CONVENTION.
Governor suchtel Favors Gathering o,
Publioists at Denver.

Denver.-ln a public letter Gov II.
A. Buchtel calls for an expression of
opinion throughout the state in regard
to great journalistic gathering to be
held In Denver at the close of the COM
ing Democratic national convention in
July. The governor says:
John Brlsben Walker has suggested
the idea of holding an International
congress of authors, editors, publish.
ers a.i publicists in Denver after the
close of the Democratic national con
vention, namely from July l4th to July
25th. During the Democratic national
convention reporters will be present
in great numbers from every section of
the United States. II we could then
bring to Denver a considerable repre-
sentation of editors and publishers the
advantage to the state would be great.
The owners of the great papers and
the editors who formulate the policy
of the great papers could do more 10
make Colorado known to the people in
every locality than the reporters who
work under their direction. The topics
TO be considered by the convention
would be such topics as might be
"5AN'u hIoi hihoHS lit luOoN NohoIl'h-
Gus editors and publishers of the coun-
try. 1t is probable that they will con
slider such questions as the conduct and
ethics of the worlds great newspapers
and magazines. and the work of the
novelist and writer.
Tho suggestion has been made that
these distinguished people should be
invited to be the guests of Colorado for
ten days, from July 18th to 2Eth. 1t is
proposed that only four sessions of the
congress should be held and that inter
vening time should be occupied with
visits to interesting points in the Rocky
mountains. Both the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Colorado & Southern
railroads have expressed their hearty
approval OF the plan. They would pro
vide transportation for these distin-
suished guests to any points reached
by their lines. The board OF directors
of the Convention League will at once
take up the matter to determine
whether 1t might be possible to pro
vide for the entertainment of these
guests. Invitations would he issued TO
approximately 500 Of the worlds most
famous authors, publishers and publ.
cists.
I'VE might hope to secure an atten-
dance Of 100 OF these distinguished
people If we could invite them to be the
guests of the state Of Colorado. The
great conventions 10 be held in Den.
yer this year ought TO add hundred
THOUSAND people TO our population in
the course OF the next twelve months,
II we could bring the owners of the
great newspapers and the men who
fix the policies Of the great newspapers
for such convention, II is probable
that this would do as much for us as
any other convention In bringing peo-
pie to Colorado.
1T is desired that expressions Of ap-
proyal or disapproval of holding this
I proposed convention should be sent NJ
once TO w. +. Il. Mills, secretary OF the
| Denver Convention League. at the
Chamber Of Commerce building. or ia
me at the state house. Very sincerely
