I'm the last year in London, with a
population of seven million there were
but nineteen cases of murder. OF the
nineteen murderers five committed sui

I'm New York City. 119 cases of
homicide were investigated by the
grand jury during the last year but
only 40 convictions resulted. Chicago
reports POP homicides were committed
in that city during the last year. Only
one of the offenders was hanged; flf-
teen were sent to the pententiary and
others were set free. In Louisville
with population of 224,OOO, during
the last year there were AZ cases of ho-
micide and not a single murderer was
hanged. In Alabama for the two years
ending September 30, 1910, $50 cases
.of homicide were disposed of and the
death penalty was imposed in but ~
cases. In North Carolina in the last
year there wer 141 homicides, and in
Ohio 1871, and i'm each an absurdly
small number capitally punished. The
report of the Attorney General of Tex
as, states that there were 1,O4S lndict-
ments for murder in that state during
the -years 1909 and 1910 and undoubt-
eddy a large number of homicides in
addition for which no indictment was
found.

cause the indictment failed to state
whether they were mule. COW. goat or

STURols.

Lansing. Mich, oct. 1S.-Vice Pres
ident Sherman's ideas of conservation
are not i'm accord with those OF Gov.
Osborn. The Michigan executive sees
destruction and a possibility that Am.
erica will be "A graveyard of lost pos
sibilities If the course the vice presi-
dent recommends is followed. Reply
ing To Mr. Sherman speech at the
recent dedication of the municipal dam
at Sturgis. Gov, Osborn says:
"The vice president is quoted as
saying that he does not believe in that
conservation which prevents the de-
velopment of national natural resourc-
es for use at the present time. and as
further stating that he believes that
the people of each age are capable OF
taking care Of themselves. Apres mol

1T would seem that the Creator re-

national policy, I'm my opinion, has

into the hands of rich men at 1925 an

i'm the eighties, when the public do
main was withdrawn from the cash en-
try market and was subject only to
homcsteading. The homestead laws
were proper and rigid. 1t was made n
crime 10 take a homestead for any
other purpose than to use it as n
homestead. The public lands could
only be obtained i'm this way, with
the exception that certain govern

acquisition with the homesteaders
powers. This script should never have
been negotiable, but it was. Rich men
procured control of it. Soldiers Nd

Remedy is Sought.
Because OF these conditions, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Clifford Pinchot and
other patriotic government officials
sought a remedy. They set i'm opera
tion such laws as existed and such
powers as they possessed for the
purpose of preventing the seizure OF
the remaining national resources by
the few and for the further purpose
of recovering what mad already been
stolen. Naturally there was a big
fight II was the interests of the
strong few against the peoples rights
mo one had paid much attention TO
these rights. Pinchot had been educat-
cd i'm the European school of economy.
He found in Roosevelt sympathizer
and a superior. and one eager to pre-
serve to the people as much as posi-
bile of that which belonged TO them
The friction of contest between these
courageout agents OF the people and
the predatory financial interests, aided
by the most sdllfu lawyers in the
country, became fierce The policy OF

which really at its inception was MOTH

had stolen became an issue I'm the land
"The presidential succession TO
Theodore Roosevelt was hard fought
When Mr.. Taft had succeeded. i'm a
national convention dominated By the
Roosevelt forces, very little attention
was given TO anything else. Tim

that the nomination of Mr.. Taft had
been anticipated, anc proposed the
name of Mr.. Sherman for vice prcsi-
dent. It was o sop to Wall street, and

mo one realized at the nlon:, mt just
how much Mr.. Taft was being hobbled.
Roosevelt went out. Taft came i'm. He
is honest and judicial and has the
commendable trait of believing every
body TO be as honest as he is. It was
difficult for him TO realize what ii
meant to the interests 10 destroy the
policies of Roosevelt and Pinchot
when, I'm his zeal Pinchot strove TO
have the country know of the true
scope of the menace, he was guilty of
at least technical indiscretion in his

than might have been expected.
"The policies of Roosevelt and of
Pinchot have been restored. and are
i'm force today. The net result is that
Wall street is searching for a candi
date for the presidency. Another re-
suit is that Mr.. Sherman and those
he associates with, and i'm y measure
are deriding whenever
they get an opportunity the policies
which have not only for their pur-
pose general conservation. but the
