There is a certain Western con-
gresham whose boundless affability
and habitual Observation-Disclosures have
occasionally led him into absurd
mistakes. One day, during his last
campaign, as he stepped from the
train at the station of his home
town after an arduous two weeks Of
stumping and gladhanding, his littie
daughter rushed up to him and
kissed him. The congressman bent
to kiss her with a proud and tend er
parental eye.
"Well, WE'LL" he exclaimed, eff it
isn't my little Alberta." Then he
added mechanically: And how is
your dear old father?"

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Capital Punishment.

AS to capital punishment, it's eff
cacy might be more reasonably con
demned after being tried. 1t is no.
torious that very few murderers are
executed. In no civilized country is
murder so common or SO seldom
punished as in the United States. 1t
is not unreasonable to infer that the
shocing prevalence of homicide in
this country is due to the very slight
danger the murderer runs Of reach
ing the gallows or the electric chair
Juries are merciful, courts are tech
nical, public sentiment is indulgent,
and it is notorious that murder is
safer here than in any country OF
Europe. May not this immunity &C
count for its Observation-Disclosures
phia Record.

A Few Miles of Railroad.

Rumors of war between great pow.
ers, said to be threatened by the in
terminable troubles of the region
known as the Balkans. often appear to
be baseless. Recently a railroad right
of way has been made to figure in the
complications as a possible cause OF
war. Russia has been at work on a
line from Servia to the Adriatic. Aus.
tria is barred from connecting two
lines which would, if united. form a
line terminating at Salonika. next to
Constantinople the richest seaport
prize in the east.
A strip of Turkish territory sep
arates the two Austrian lines. and, al.
though Austria is allowed to keer
troops in the region, she cannot build
a railroad there without the consent OF
the powers. which govern in all Ques
tons relating to the rights of Turkey.
Evidently both Russia and Austria
look upon the railroad projects as in
vestments for war purposes. Prussia
demonstrated to Europe the value OF
railroads for the disposition of troops
In 1866. Bismarck dispatched troops
by rail overnight and fought battles by
telegraph orders next morning. Rus
STA was handicapped in 1904 because
her railroad to Manchuria was incom.

Balkans might be worth fighting for II
1t forms a link in a great military line
for which a rival power has or intends
to have an equivalent. Russia's ex.
tension depends upon enterprise and
capital, that Of Austria on the right Of
way.
