FROlN OTHER PENS
THE LAWS LONG MEMORY.

Justice delayed is too often Justice
denied or defeated. A speedy hearing
and the final determination of all cases
involving offenses, against the law is
the natural right of the accused and Of
the state. Society ought to be protect
ed against weakness In the courts, the
individual against the injustice of un-
proved charges affecting his character
and standing. Yet, though these truths
are self-evident, there is something
impressive and awe-inspiring in the
slow, sure processes Of the law in some
criminal cases. The vengeance which
overtakes enemies of society who seem
hedged about with wealth and power
and made safe by their precautions in
wrongdoing is all the more effective in
it's bearing upon public opinion if it
comes despite many distractions and
postporements and futile efforts on the
part of the offender to escape.
Then the law seems like a glacier in
its weight and power and the impossi-
bility of warding 1t aside. Then it is
brushes with the calm, unchanging
purpose of force outside of human
passion and human frailty. That is
the impression produced in such a case
as that of John r. Walsh, the Chicago
banker and capitalist who has been
sentenced, in his old age, after a life
of power and success, to serve five
years in the penitentiary He has in

SOCIALIST DEFEAT IN ENGLAND.
Lord Rosebery last week made him
self conspicuous figure in comment
in England and in this country by his
speech in the house of lords attacking
Socialism and Socialist. measures be-
fore parliament. The next day the
house of commons, Burns, the head of
the Labor party standing with the Lib
erals, defeated by majority of 149 a
measure known as the Right of Work
BILL requiring English cities to fur
nish work when men were without it,
or in default Of work to support the
unemployed.
Public works in time Of depression
are wise when the works themselves
are needed. This city could wisely set
every public improvement now feasible

school buildings into the bargain. But
nowhere in this country in any state

could the proposition be made, urged

workmen's bill. that it was the duty
of states and cities to furnish work Oh
| to support the unemployed
| The great public in this country has
no sympathy with Socialism and nc
/ support for its measures. 1t is opposed
/ to monopoly in aIfys shape and in any
form. 1t does not believe in state own

in favor of keeping all paths open fol-

GLOBE SIGHTS.

[From the Atchison Globe.1
Every man with a boil thinks he is
a Job.
Every woman is afraid she will be
buried alive.
It is easier to bluff man than it is
to whip him.
The devil finds all those people who
throw themselves away.
Always remember that you can't
have your own way in anything.
The great trouble with people is,
they don't want what they can get.
With years, one learns that most of
the golden hair is to be found in the
cheap novels.
There are too many men in the
world who tell their wives lies about
the other fellows.
The tears of a woman WELD a great
power; in fact, they have been known
to acquire about everything but popu>
larity.
When the world applauds a man,
the man who has lived next door to
the hero all his life, looks wise, and
says nothing.
When a woman dies, and her hus-
band refuses to marry again, is it a
compliment to his wife, or Is a sign
he has had enough of it?
When a worldly woman goes away
from home, she brings back new steps
new games. When a church woman
goes, she comes back loaded with
schemes for church sociaIs to raise
money for the church.
Almost everyone in the world needs

poor men for their managers, to tell

would be given something to do.

across the sidewalk from the force of a

With cry of relief Sally sprang

horse and finished off the job with his

scratching the shoulder. Then the
weapon was knocked from the Italians
hand and he was done up in approved
style, until the conveniently nearsighted
policeman interfered out of pity for the
battered wreck.
Then the knight turned to Sally. His
flowing hair had fallen in the gutter,
along with the glittering helmet. His
flowing mustache hung loneSomely

THE WHEAT CROP.

Lfndsborg mills have received an
order for ten carloads of flour to be
sent to the Philippines. Some time
ago a dispatch was sent out from
Washington indicating that Uncle Sam
liked the Kansas wheat better than any
other for milling purposes, and the
contract let to the Lindsborg people is
result of this conclusion Of Uncle
Sam.
Kansas wheat has long attracted the
attention of. the world At this time
Chicago and New York papers have
men in Kansas whose duty it is to SEND
their papers reliable information con-
corning Kansas coming wheat crop.
And these papers would not spend
money to obtain this information if it
were not of value to their readers.
And here it would not be improper
to say just a word about the present
prospects for a bumper wheat crop.
The Journal yesterday carried in its

gathered from the most authentic
sources possible. 1t contained the in
formation that the crop was in good
condition, that no damage was being
done by Hessian flies or green bugs,
that the growth was fast and that
every indication was for splendid
crop to reward the farmers for their
toll.
OF course Kansas will raise a bum
per wheat crop. The state has form I'd
such a habit for it that no drouth,
green bug or Hessian fly will ever be
disquieting time, and it will soon pass.
In short time the wheat will be prac-
