Not q Bad View.

The Scranton Tribune, in a re-
cent editorial, said:
The law hangs a man not for the
purpose of vengeance, but to remove
from human scene a man who has
used his liberty to destroy the life
of another. 1t assumes that a man
who will take life once will do so
again. The law also has anotner
object in view, viz, to serve an i'm
pressive warning to all other evil
doors that they must stop short of
crimes against life. The growing
objection to punishment by death
is not due to sympathy for the
murderer, but rather to an increas-
ing regard for the sacredness of hu-
man life. 1t is deemed proper that
the law should set the example of
higher respect for the life of a
human being by itself refraining
from taking the life of any man.
AS for committing the act of death
as a judgment on crime, there is no
reason why the law should shrink
from that except for the one reason
that the law of retribution is re-
served to a more competent tribun-
al. In the case of the hanging of
a man retributory justice is given
an impressive and spectacular en-
phasis, and the sudden death OF a
man at the end of a rope Is more
obvious and we might also say more
bungling than the methous of
retribution as they exhibit them
selves in the slow processes of ma
ture.

cHFCAO, Dec. 27.-Jtnless May corn
drops at least fifteen cents between
now and May S1st, James A, Patton,
the "wheat King" will lose fortune,
according to reports on The board OF
trade today. Patton is reported short
FROM ten TO thirteen million bushels
and is still selling. II Is said that
much of his corn was bought at 81
cents on the theory that there would
be a big crcp. The recent sensational
advance in May corn was thought only
temporary. but Patton is selling right
and left and is unable to break the
price. The American Society and
Equity AN organization OF farmers for
the protection OF their interests from
spectators, is believed to lie back OF
the advance.

and one who constantly holds his
ear to the ground to determine if

the few really able and conscien-
tious men in the last assembly.
And when we say able We mean
it. Ability sometimes is more

make a speech but we observed
that when he had a measure COM
ing up he had the house with him
and that evidences influence of a
high order. And besides he was
always on the right side of all the
questions that came up He lost
none OF bis influence by voting
his conscientious opinions. As a
rule the western slope members
were on the right side but in
many cases they we're simply
overpowered by the volume Of
votes from the City OF Denver
and the safe corporation coun-
ties.
One bill that will help in the
future was the Ie-apportionment
bill which trimmed the float dis
tricts off from Denver. That city
will not have so much to say in
the next assembly. The floats
from outside were many OF them
placed in districts of their own.
