the death penalty has been modified,

Edmond Burke said that he could III
his time obtain the assent OF the

FRIDAY EyENING. Jazz. 81. isOs.


Gave " Up
A friend OF the writer recently made
application for public appointment In
a small Scottish town, and. thinking
that his chances Of success would be
greater by little judicious canvass
Ing he resolved to call upon a few OF
the town councillors. In whose hands
the appointment lay. OF the civic dig
nitaries' position in private life he
knew nothing. Journeying TO the town
I'm question. he hired cab at the rail-
way station and requested the Jehu
10 take him 10 Councillor Bisset's. the
treasurer. The councillor was found
In his blacksmith's shop shooting a
horse
I'Il see somebody OF more impor-
lance than this. anyhow" said the can
dldate to himself. and. turning TO the
driver, he said, "Drive me to Councillor
Maltland's Office"
The cabman thereupon drove him to
the local joiners shop. This was
worse even than the smithy, and In
despair he calculated:
"Drive me to Councillor Gray's."
81 am Councillor Gray, SIR" replied
the cabman.
The answer staggered the candidate.
He quietly paid bis fare and dissp-
peared. resolved 10 leave bis fate IN
their hands without prejudicing then,
in any way In his favor. = LondoA

pENNsYlvANlA's DELEGATES

The Philadelphia North Ameri-
can prints a dispatch from Harris
burg from which the following is
taken: James Kerr, chairman of
the campaign committee of the
Bryan Democratic League, said to-
night: "The results of today's con.
vention most surely emphasize the
necessity for the reorganization of
the democratic party in the state
of Pennsylvania. The expressed
will of large majority of the vot.
ers in the state was overturned and
repudiated by delegates entrusted
as representatives of those voters
by the methods of the leaders in
control of the party machinery
through practices that were corrupt
to say the least. While the action
of today's convention only affects
four Of the sixty-eight delegates
from the state of Pennsylvania to
the democratic convention at Den
yer, the will of the people has been
defeated, and these political lead
ers who are responsible will be call
ed upon to answer for their betray-
al of the trust imposed in them.
Notwithstanding the action of to-
days convention, ffty-two of the
delegates selected on the nth of
April last are committed to Mr..
Bryan, whose nomination is fore.

struck few rods south of Chas. Cush.

almost totally destroying it. 1t passed

house and wrecked 1t, tearing the roof
OF and tearing 1t up past the 6xlng.up

ly burt. Mr.. Brown bias moved into
the b. g. Pelton property for the pres
ent. Mr.. Browns house is a total loss
with no insurance. Mr.. Cusbenbery's
orchard which was loaded with fruit is
also great loss as orchards are not
grown in season. Our sympathy goes
out to the unfortunate, but we are glad
1t wasn't worse.

Suppose that Cy Leland should
become governor of Kansas, and
then suppose again that he should
change his colors as often, as gov
ernor, as he has as a politician,
what sort of a mixture his admin
istration would be! Old Cy for
years was a machine man from
who laid the chunk, until a few
years ago when the square dealers
rode the tidal wave. Then it was
that your old Uncle Cy did the
acrobatic stunt, outdid Roscoe
Stubs himself as square dealer.
But it didn't last long and now the
old fox is once more back in his
accustomed seat in the machine
band wagon. No less than a year
ago he was dining Senator Long
with shocking vehemence; today
he is cheek by jole with the Sena-
tor and they drink cider through
the same straw. 1t strikes the av-
erage man that a man of such var
iatiOns would be a misfit in the
executive chair of the great state
of Kansas.

None of President Roosevelt's
important recommendations were
granted by the Goth congress in its
first session, which is already char
acterized as do-nothing congress.
The last hours of the session saw
an emergency currency bill of some
sort rushed through with little con
sideration, but it does not pretend
to answer the description of what
the President recommended, which
was bill to permanently settle
the currency question. The
Strengthening of the rate law, the
ship subsidy, the repeal of the
wood pulp duty, the bill placing
restrictions on the issue of tempo
rary injunctions, the proposed
amendments of the Sherman anti
trust law, the campaign fund pub.
licity bill, the four battleships and
the liberal support of the water
ways movement, all these fell by
the wayside. Congress was not a
do-nothing congress in one sense,
for it broke all records by appro-
priations exceeding a billion dol
lars. The trouble with going for.
ward at this session was the panic
and the approach of a presidential
election. The panic had politi-
cally demoralizing effect on the
leaders in congress and the various
line ups on the presidential nomi.

of Kansas have in the guber-
