gree. do not believe that he was
insane at the time he committed the
crime, but the evidence clearly shows
that he had been drinking heavily
since meeting with his accident, and
particularly since his employment
by Kenny as barkeeper. He testi-
fled that he drunk quart of whis-
key the day of the murder, though
the police officer who arrested him
stated that at the time of his arrest,
about an hour after the murder, he
appeared to be sober. In view
of the conflicting testimony, there
might be a reasonable doubt as to
whether Daley at the time he COM
mitted the homicide was in condition
to entertain deliberation and pre-
meditation necessary to constitute
murder in the first degree At
ter conference with counsel for the
defendant and a representative of
the district attorneys Office, who
prosecuted the defendant, and in
view of all the facts and circum-
stances surrounding the case, feel
that, if assurance could be given that
a life sentence in Daley's case would
actually mean Imprisonment for life,
the ends of justice would be met by
a commutation of his sentence to life
Imprisonment"
Among the others who have rec
Ommended the commutation Of
Daley's sentence are several relatives
of the murdered man, including his
wife and, a brother. In view of the
facts and circumstances which have
related, believe that justice de-
mands that Daley's death sentence be
commuted to life imprisonment.

to him by Father Francis of Mt.
Angel, an old friends of the family.
He was taken through the big din

execution chamber About 100 peo-
pie were present, including the re-
porters. Before his entrance the
jailor said: Hats off," and all un-
covered. Finch entered with his
hands behind him. They were
clasped behind him, and he stepped

timent really is for the former presi-
dent.
The result was unmistakable and
he now seems as much an idol as
when he was in office.
A New York newspaper, supposed
to be close to the moneypow ers, has
printed page and half article to
show that Roosevelt protected the
sugar trust and prevented it's prose-
cution.
The interests" have not much
love for the sugar trust. 1t is a close
corporation and will be sacrificed.
Everything known about it will be
placed at the disposal of Attorney
General Wickersham so that Presl-
solving it, according to the Roose-
dent Taft will have the credit of dis
veltians.
If that is insufficient they say the
tobacco and powder trusts must go.
They also are close corporations.
The dissolution of these corpora
tions would hit none of the big finan-
cial powers except Thomas r. Ryan,
who already has announced that he
is retiring from business.

CONNICTS ON HIGHWAYS.
Kansas Enacts Law Permitting Con-
yicts to Work on Roads.

The state OF Kansas passed law
some time ago permitting convicts TO
be worked on the roads, but no use
of the permission has been made. 1t
is stated, however, that the warden
of the penitentiary proposes to take
advantage OF the law in the near tu-
ture. This is further precedent, II
more were needed, for the passage
of law in this state authorizing the
employment of convicts for this pur-
pose.
1t is possible to place convicts at
work under ideal conditions in this
state. Aside from the fact that their
use may result in the building OF
roads that might not otherwise be
constructed, there can hardly be
question of the advantages to the
convict, physically, mentally and
morally. Confinement within four
walls must in time take the spirit
and will out of man, Whatever am
bition to turn over a new lear may
animate the prisoner, the parlehheaS
of his existence must prey upon his
mind, weaken his determination and
undermine his good resolutions. Put
ting him out doors, where he can ge'
fresh air and better food and fee
again the rest which comes from la
Dor under normal conditions cannot
but be a helpful regime,
In all the discussions of the en-
ployment of convicts on road build
ing in this state no reasonable obJec'
ton has been advanced why it should
not he done, and we hope the mex
legislature will enact the necessary
legislation, Humanitarian as well as
practical economy urges action

MINIATURE STRIKE
NIPPED IN THE BUD
Nine Street Car Employees
are Discharged.
Places are Filled and the Service
is Not Crippled-Trouble Started
Over Purchase of Watches.

Street car service in Marion was
not interrupted for more than an
hour yesterday afternoon when a
number of the employees OF the OPP
Grating department went on a strike
because OF n company order, requir-
ing them to have watches that would
pass inspection.
Nine men, conductors and motor
men, who were in the strike, were
Immediately dismissed from the serv-
of the company by Receiver George
Whysall and all others were ordered
TO resume their work.. The men to-
day state that they are fully satis-
fled with the arrangements made by
the company and 1t Is not likely that
any further trouble will occur. When
the men went on n strike they had
been refused an increase in pay from
fifteen and seventeen to eighteen
and twenty cents an hour. At the
present time a new man receives
fifteen cents an hour and after six
months in the service, he is increased
to seventeen cents. The men claimed
that IL they were required to pur-
chase watches costing $24, they
should be paid moro money. With
the recelvership trouble on, the com.
pany was unable to grant this re-
quest, hence the strike.
The officials of the company state
that arrangements have been made
whereby the company guarantees the
payment for each watch purchased,
and the employee may have as long
as he desires to pay for 1t.
1t is said that many OF the men
have been using dollar watches and
setting them by the court house
clock. Employees of the company
were rather reticent when approach
ed today on the subject, but all stat
ed that the trouble has been adjust
ed and there will be no further ef-
forts to pull off q strike.
Several new men were put to work
today and several of the old men
are working overtime so that the
service Is not impaired.
