IN the last extreme moment said, 1--WE
receive the due reward of our deeds.
1t is this deep seated sense OF
justice, written as it were by the hand
of God, that tends to bring about mol
violence when there is reason to fear
that the forms of justice will be
violated and prostituted
Opposition to capital punishment is
centuries old. But there is no sure
gate for capital punishment, not even
in Imprisonment for life. When muir.
der is banished from the earth then
capital punishment will cease to be.
France, in the time of it's revolution,
did in the much abused name of
humanity, abolish it, but the subse-
quent reaction is a matter of history.
Sentimentalism changed place with
barbarism in the awful days of the
guillotine.
1t Is a very easy matter to find a
reason why hanging by 2 mob is not
justified, whereas it is b: court and
by due process of law. Sheriff Clark,
who has received "all kinds Of letters"
very correctly takes the position that
his was not an act Of revenge but he
was the agent not only of the sover-
eign state of Iowa but Of the Almighty.
The mob is actuated with the feeling
of revenge because it feels outraged
but, however, much we may be lead
to seek eXteruating circumstances, the
thing is wrong and Christian men must
condemn it. The very instinct to
evolve stable order of society is of
God The very power vested in an
Sc hi
ries not only a dignity to the Office
but responsibility and accountability.
LET every soul be in subsection to
the higher powers, for there is no
power but of God and the powers that
be are of God. Therefore Re that re-
sisteth the power withstandeth the
ordinance of God: and they that with
stand shall receive to themselves judy
ment' Rom. 1912.
The law made no unseemly hurry
in dealing with this self-confessed
criminal Every semblance Of revenge
was absent All creature comforts
were his during the period of imprison-
ment and this was likewise a season
for preparation. Forgiveness was
given by those whose lives were sor-
rowed by the overt act. the comforts
and solace of religion were offered him
freely and there is no doubt that the
witnesses of this public execution felt
a solemnity. unconsciously prompted
in some measure from sense that a
lax public has share in making these
men what they are. For dope fiends are
recruited from the ranks Of the heavy
drinkers and both forces open the
sluice gates of criminality and sin

IN MINNESOTA
STORMY SESSION RESULTS IN
HIS NOMINATION AND NOW
HE MAY NOT ACCEPT.

Minneapolis. July 29.-The demo-
cratic storm signals which were flying
when the state democratic convention
met, were torn to shreds by a tempest
of feeling which was let loose yester-
day afternoon over the nomination OF
John Lind for governor and an at
tempt to introduce direct resolution
in the party platform favoring county
option.
For more than three hours up TO the
very minute when the motion to adj,
journ was carried, there was no let-up
to disorder except for few moments
when Chairman Michael DAILY made
himself heard after terrific pounding
with q piece Of two by four scantling
which he used as q gavel.

ter
Justices of the supreme COURT J.
O'Brien Of st. Paul; A. H. Snow OF
Winona: Philip E. Brown of Luverne;
Calvin l.. Brown. Of Morris
Split Into Two Factions.
The entire delegation was unit in
declaring John Lind one of the best
democrats In Minnesota. They divided
in two factions One declared Lind
must be nominated despite his refusal
to be a candidate. The other declared
Lind's wishes should be observed.
The latter faction argued and shook
their fists, while those who were bent
on nominating Lind howled, Kissed and
blocked the proceedings until BY sheer
force Of noise and enthusiasm, they
secured the nomination which was
finally made unanimous.
County Option Voted Down.
The anti-county optionists were in
the saddle In the committee on reso-
lutions. The committee heard the reso-
lutions offered by the optionists ana
voted them down and inserted plank
declaring for the initiative and refer
endum, which the committee declared
would answer the same purpose.
The platform attacks President Taft
for not having used "the tremendous
forces of his high office to enforce a
recreant congressional majority to do
dennis the retention of Secretary Bal
its duty of tariff reform" It con-
linger in the cabinet; deplores the dis
charge of Pinchot "as national
crime" commends the Minnesota re-
publican insurgents in congress for
their vote OF the Payne-Aldrich bill:

strongly urges the reelection Of Com
gresham Hammond.
Lind Is Much Annoyed.

cratic candidate for governor at
Minneapolis yesterday afternoon, will
net under any consideration accept

ment made last night by Norma Lind.

lice committee, Chief Gallagher and
Officer Frank Harris. favor public
executions, believing that the moral ef-
feet Of such on the public at large
would serve to decrease crime. The
officers favor the hanging to take place
in the county where the crime is COM
mitted and quickly after the murderer
is convicted. Mr.. Williams, however.
favors the lease of life for at least a
year. In remarking about the Junkin
hanging, Mr.. Williams said: 81 am go
ing to pay my share Of the costs in the
Redman case and I'll be found at my
blacksmith shop in the future"
Novak Takes Photos.
Frank Novak, prisoner serving
time for murder in Cedar Rapids.
Iowa, is the official photogra pher of
the prison and he was on the job early
for the hanging. AS Junkin and his
executioner and attendants mounted
the scaffold, Novak snapped picture.
When the trap was sprung the lenses
were in operation and as the body
writhed and wiggled after dropping,
another phOtOgra phi was taken.
Reports His Anger.
After brutally, bitterly cursing his
mother for giving out the interview to
Inc courier last week WuelSlu Aui'
Jnnl,in stated that John had repented
his act. the condemned negro called
FOR Father Zaiser and between sobs or
anguish he poured into the ears OF his
last spiritual adviser words Of remorse
and sorrow.
Junkin's outburst in cursing his
mother. and the sorrow he later dis
played for this act. was his last SHOW
Of feeling. From that hour until his
death he was stole, caring apparently
nothing for the fate that was to befall
him. ..#.. ......
Gave Medal to Mother.
There is little doubt of the sincerity
Of John Junkin's repentance for having
cursed his mother AS he told me of the
occurrence with deep regret. SAID
Father James Foley. "He begged Of me-
to see his mother and beg her forgive
ness and tell her that he loved her,
which I promised to do and did do yes
terday. The small silver medal he wore
upon his wrist. he left to his mother
as a token Of his love for her and sor-
row for the trouble he gave her in life,
and this medal I presented to his
mother when coming home from Fort
Madison"

sHIVELY TURNS ON KERN.
Senator's Friends Resent Candidates
Unsupported Charge of Bribery.


Indianapolis, June 13.-The Demo-
cratic leaders are greatly concerned
over dlsaffection in northern Indiana
among the friends Of Senator Shively,
who are said to be in revolt against
John w. Kern because of his charges
two years ago and formally repeated
several times since, that Shively was
chosen for the senate In the Demo-
cratic caucus through bribery.
Kern charged that eight Democrats
in the caucus were bought by brewers
and saloon keepers with fund raised
to defeat him for the caucus nominal
tion, and that Shlvely was the bene-
ficiary of this corruption.
Since Kern's nomination by the state
convention for the senate Shively's
friends and many northern Indiana
newspapers friendly to him have de-
manded that Kern make good his
charges or withdraw them and thus
relieve ShlvelY from the implied charge
of holding his seat In the senate
through bribery.

Young Deer In Churehyard Proves
More Interesting Than Magnate.

Tarrytown, N. Y, June 13.-A deer
divided hono% with John d. Rockefel-
Ter yesterday as the observed of all OBJ
servers. 1t is not an unusual sight to
see John d. Rockefeller going to the
First Baptist church on Sunday
morning, but 1t is unusual to see a
young deer grazing on the church
lawn. For that reason a crowd gath
cred to look ut the deer and every
body forgot about Rockefeller. The
young animal gazed on the approach
ing army moment, then kicked up
his heels and was off like the wind.
He went back over the hills at record
time and disappeared.
When Mr.. Rockefeller arrived little
later in his big touring car he was told
of the incident. He laughed and said
he would liked to have been one of the
lucky ones to have seen the deer.

The origin of the word 'bulP as the
definition of a confused utterance is
doubtful. Some philologists say it
comes from the French boule-'fraud'

the IceIandic bull-"nonsense." Many
definitions have been attempted. but
the best probably is that of Sydney
Smith. Writing of the difference be-
tween wit and bulls" he says: "Wit
