TWENTY CENTS A MILE.

The members of the extra session
of Congress, now in session, each re-
ceived twenty cents mile to and from
their respective homes, though the
majority of them hadn't travelled an
inch. This is queer way of whipping
the devil around the stump to get an
other pull at Government pap. 1t
hardly looks decent from a layman' S
standpoint.

THE MOTHER AND THE BOY.

A Norfolk boy, just nineteen years
of age, died in the electric chair on
last Friday, in obedience to the stern
commands of the law. The electric
current killed him no doubt instantly,
but the heart of another felt the full
force of the same shock, and though
death was not instantaneous, it is just
as certain to follow. The mother Of
the boy still lives, but lives a living
death. Young man, remember moth
er when you would do wrong, if not
the God of the mother, and it may be
that you would not do wrong.

PROPER RACE PRIDE.

Johnson, the negro bruiser, was re-
fused admittance to the hotels of Can
ada on account of the color of his skin,
and the negroes of Galveston, Texas,
refuse to receive him because Of his
unholy alliance with wretched wreck
of the white race. In each instance
we have an example of proper race
nride.

WHY NOT A BOARD OF PARDON2

Governor Swanson has been sorely
and severely tried of late when he
was asked to interfere with the YER
diets of juries in the OVERLY and Gill
bert cases, but he has stood the test
bravely, conscientiously and well.
Our Governor, however, should be re-
lieved of all such disagreeable and
distracting business, and a Board of
Pardons should be named instead. Not
one man but three men, men of high
character and who fear God and re-
gard the rights of fellowmen. No one
man should bear the burden of life or
death.

Following the lead of President
Charles w. Murphy of the cubs in fling
protest against Johnny Kings plan
to bring a semi-pro baseball team here
from Kansas City for a series with the
Logan Squares and West Ends, Billy
Nieson. owner of the Gunthers of the

test with President Woodruff of the
Chicago league against the appearance
of Kings team here. Kings players
are billed to meet the West Ends Mon
day afternoon at West End park at
the same time the Gunthers are sched-
uled to play at Logan Square park.
Manager Nieson of the Candymakers
argues that the West Ends, being
scheduled to play Milwaukee Labor
Day afternoon. have no right to call off
the game to play Kings team without
the unanimous consent of the Chicago
league magnates. Nieson refuses to
give his consent on the grounds that
the appearance of the former cub star
at West End park would draw the
crowd away from the Gunther-L Logan
Square game. The owner Of the Gun
theirs has even gone so far as to
threaten to call off his league game
with the Logan Squares If the West
Ends are permitted to meet King
team.
