is that he intends to take sides in the

The time has gone by, in our opinion,

out. and that he Is talking himself to
death. The people have grown tired
of the big stick In American politics.
With nothing TO gain for himself, and
with practically nothing to gain for
his party even If he should be instru-
mental in electing Slemp, the Colonel
Is spreading himself out in way
Which can be applauded only on the
ground that the more he does OF this

When the legislature decided it could
not complete its work before the holidays
and decided on adjournment, probably not
a member or a state official had any
thought that such an adjournment into
next year would effect the death sentence
Of Elroy Kent But such adjournment
has committed or suspended his sentence,
probably for a year, although attorneys
who have been discussing the matter for
the past few days are not agreed on the
question
Kent is sentenced to be hanged Friday.
January 10, and without doubt the legs-
lature will stil be in session on that date.
Section 1866 of the public statutes pro-
vides that mo person sentenced to suffer
the punishment of death shall be executed
previous to the first day of January after
the close of the session OF the general
assembly following such sentence; and
the court shall at the time of such sen.
tence order a warrant to be issued by
the clerk under the seal Of the court for
the county in which such sentence Is
passed to the sheriff of the county where
the state prison is situated. commanding
said officers to carry such sentence into

From the reading OF this section II is
stated on the authority OF well known
lawyers that as the present legislature will
not reach final adjournment before jan
uary l. Kent cannot legally be hanged
until after January l, 1912.
