AN INTERESTING EXAMPLE

The promptness of English justice
was never illustrated to better advan-
tage than in the case of DR.. Crippen
who after trial lasting less than FIVE
days was convicted by the jury after
thirty minutes deliberatian, and who
was at once sentenced to be hanged.
DR.. Crippen was arrested in Canada
on July 3lst, he arrived in London
August 9th, the first day possible
under the law, was remanded for
preliminary hearingon September 9th,
and held for trial. The trial began
on the 18th of October and conviction
and sentence followed on October
22nd.
The courts of the United States have
much to learn from those in England
in the matter of prompt and effective
administration of justice. President
Taft has often pointed out that the
delays of the law IN this country bring
it into disrespect, and that the ex-
pense incident to prolonged litigation
often operates more disastrously than
an adverse decision. We are particu
larly open to criticism in the length
of criminal trials, in the frequent
packing of juries, in the sentimental
support often given to those accused
of crime, and the permission Ol
multitudinous loophoies through
which men morally proved to le
guilty, escape the just punishment
for their crime.
The case against DIR. Crippen was
largely circumstantial, but the hard
headed English jury saw clearly what
they believed and what the world be
lieves to be the truth, and the terrible
and swift sentence OF the law fell up.

The management of the Chicago &
North. Western Railroad Co. has been
reorganized. This was made necessary
by the resignation of President Mar
vim Hughitt, who has resigned, but
who still remains with the company
as chairman of the board of directors.
W. A. Gardner is the new president,
and w. B. Cantillon general manager.
Evidently the management of the
company considers its lines in Mime
sofa and Dakota as of special import
ance for in the reorganization these
two divisions are given general sup
erintendent of their own in the person
of Chester T. Dixie. The balance of
the system will be under S. g. Strick-
land former assistant general superin-
tendent.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

As the amendments to the constitu-
tion and the laws referred under the
initiative or referendum, which are
now being published for the infor
nation of the voters, are long and con-
stitute rather tiresome reading, our
readers may be interested in our views
on the subject. For this issue we will
confine ourself to the constitutional
amendments of which there are six.
The first amendment (all amend.
ments appear on the special ballot
about % inches long) relates to the
leasing of public lands and authorizes
the lease of such lands for general
agricultural purposes, such as pastur-
ing, hay, and the raising of grain.
The manner of leasing the lands is to
remain as at present. This amend
ment should be adopted.
The second amendment is that re
lating to the salary of attorney general
and, if adopted, will authorize the
Legislature to fix the salary of the
attorney general. The amendment
should be adopted.
The third amendment relates to
equal suffrage, and, if adopted, would
give women the same rights as voters
as are now enjoyed by the men. The
voters are probably better informed
on this amendment than on any other.
II seems to us that If the women want
TO vote it is only right to give them
the opportunity, We doubt very

A DEMOCRATIC friend and reader of
the Independent remarked to this
writer recently that he did not see
how we could support congressman
Burke for reelection when we were
opposed to his nomination. The ex-
phantom is easy. Burke did not pre-
tend in the primary campaign to be
progressive, and the Independent pre-
ferred a man who stood with the pro-
gressive element. However, Mr..
Burke was nominated. The republi-
can platform was then made and Mr..
Burke as the nominee for congress
accepts that platform made by pro
gressive ma jority, and he also accepts
the progressives who were nominated
ana is working to secure their election.
Mr.. Burke also accepts and commends
a long line of progressive Legislation
enacted under the Roosevelt and
Taft administrations, having taken a
prominent part in securing some of
this Legislation. Mr.. Burke's stand
today coniorms rnore closely 10 pro-
gressive ideas than ever before. This
may be partly for his personal benefit.
But be that as it may, it is principle
that we are looking for in national
legislation and if Mr.. Burke is willing
to stand for those principles, or at
least many Of them, we think him
entitled to our support. Another
reason why we are now supporting
Mr.. Burke is that we can expect far
more from him along the line of re-
form than we could possibly expect
from either of the democratic NOM
inees. However sincere the rank and
file of the democratic party may be,
the history of their representatives in
congress leaves no hope that they will
legislate in the interests of the peo-
pie. We are supporting Mr.. Burke
and Mr.. Martin because we believe
them to be the best men before the
people and that they come nearer
supporting the principles we have
advocated.

Mrs. Mary Schely Bowen, of San
Franciso, and Percy w. Evans, of
Seattle, were married in New York on
the l4th inst. There is nothing un
usual in the fact that these people
wanted to marry, but the surround
ings and settings for the occasion
were out of the ordinary. In fact
they were such as to disgust sane
person. The bridesmaids were three
female Japanese Spaniels decorated
with costly gowns and held in lesh
by their mistress. Another setting
for the affair was an image of Buddah
which grinned from pedestal. After
the ceremony an elaborate dog dinner
was served to the bridesmaids and
their guest Miss Lillian Russell
Spaniel. The greatest mistake OF the
occasion was the fact that the grown
married the fool instead of one OF the

ONE amendment to the state con-
stitution that should receive a large
maiority vote is that authorizing the
legislature to raise the salary of the
attorney general. At present that of
fetal receives ST, 900 90 per year while
other elective state officers whose
duties are mostly clerical receive
$1,S0000 per year. The present salary
is less than that of the states attorney
of this county. A man competent to
hold the state job is worth more
money than the constitution now
allows and as matter of fairness the
salary should be increased.

The United States can we'll take of

we could we'll afford to send a legal
commission there to find out just ex-
actly what is the matter with Ameri-

The postal department has been
working on a plan upon which to
operate the postal savings banks au.
thorized by law. The plan has been
so far worked out that it is thought
best to give it limited trial and one
bank will be established in each state
This will give the department a
chance to discover the defects of the
plan, if any, and remedy them be-
fore establishing the banks all over
the country, The postal bank in
this state for the trial will be located
at Deadwood, which city was chosen
because of the large proportion of
laboring men in the population.

if it should, we can hardly see how
they could make greater mistakes in
handling the BALLOT than have been
made by the men in the past twenty
years. The record of graft and cor
ruption that has worked its way into
politics and into legislation in this
nation is not a record with which men
can "point with pride" The women
can hardly do worse.
The fourth amendment relates to
the levy of taxes in cities and towns,
or townships for water, sewerage, or
irrigation purposes, and provides that
an indebtedness may be incurred up
to 10 per cent of the assessed valua-
ton of the year before. 1t also pro-
vides that an additional Indebtedness
of 5 per cent of the assessed valuation
may be incurred for the purpose of
erecting school buildings. Such in
debtedness is to be incurred only
when authorized by a majority vote
of the voters of the corporation, 1t also
allows cities of 5000 population to
bond to the extent of 8 per cent of
the assessed valuation for the purpose
of establishing street railways, electric
lights, or other lighting plants. We
believe it is safe to vote 'No" on this
amendment.
The fifth amendment relates to the
taxing powers of the Legislature to en-
act an inheritance tax, an income tax,
and tax on franchises apd licenses
to do business in the state. One of
the objects of this amendment is to
allow the Legislature to establish a
gross earnings tax system by which
express and insurance companies hav-
ing no Tangible property within the
state may be made to pay their just
proportion of the tax in proportion to
the volumne of business transacted.
Much has been said against this pro
posed amendment by those evidently
employed by interested parties to ac.
complish it's defeat. 1t has been said
that it will remove the mill limit on
the state tax now in force. That claira
is not true. The amendment win
leave the 4 mill limit as it now stands,
the tax upon real estate will be levied
as now. and under the same restric-
tions. This is an amendment that
will allow taxing of property which
now escapes, in part, its just proper
ton of taxation. Vote Eyes" on this
amendment.
The sixth amendment is in the
nature of an addition to the constitu-
ton, and provides that the Legislature
shall not have the power to establish
any charitable, penal, or educational
institution as state institution until
the same has been authorized by a
majority vote of the people of the
state. This is an amendment upon
which there is no chance for discus
sion. We would have been far better
off if it had been a part of the consti
from the beginning. Vote "Yes" on
this amendment

The great bugbear Of the sickroom
Is monotony. This is the problem that
every nurse must meet and study
ways and means to prevent. She may
de this in several ways. She may
alter the appearance of the room oc-
casionally by pushing the bed or sofa
tda different part OF the room in or
der to give the patient a fresh out
look; the cut flowers may be replaced
by growing plant; old magazines and
books may be removed and new ones
take their place; the pictures may be
changed, especially those that hang at
the foot of the bed, or perhaps, a
blank wall may be found to be restful
to the tired eyes.-Circle Magazine.

TACK THIS UP
Prescription That Breaks Up the Worst
Cold In Day.

Every winter this prescription is pub
lished here and thousands have been
benefited by 1t. Get two ounces of
Glycerine and half an ounce of Con-
centrated Pine compound. Then get
half a pint of good whiskey and put
the other two ingredients into it. Take
a teaspoonful to tablespoonful of this
mixture after each meal and at bed
time. Shake the bottle well each time"
But be sure to get only the genuine
Concentrated Pine. Each half ounce
bottle comes in tin screw-top case.
Any druggist has 1t on hand or will
quickly get it from the wholesale
house. Many other pine extracts are
impure and cause nausea.
