made in the annual report of Post

master general has reason to feel
proud of this record. When he assum.

beginning of the Taft administration
there was deficit of $17,479,770, the
largest on record. In the three years
there have been great extensions to
the service, including S,744 new Of

1876 additional cities, 2,516 new rural
mail routes and 5000 additional en-
nloyes with salary increase of $14,-
00O. 900, yet this deficit of $17.479,770
has been turned into surplus of

rHE K ELY MURDER VERDICT.

A Des Moines jury found DR.. harry
Kelly of Council Bluffs, who muir
dered q deputy sheriff and a bartender,
guilty of manslaughter and declared
that he was insane on the morning
the crime was committed" He Will
be given from one to eight years IN
the penitentiary, at the expiration OF
which time he will be free to Kill as
many more people as he pleases. This
is miscarriage of justice. Murderers
OF the Kelly class should not be turned
loose to prey on defenseless public.
And regardless of Kelly's fate juries
should not be discharged uncensured
when their verdicts put premium
on murder and point the way for other
men to commit brutal murders and
escape the consequences of their
crimes.
II the jury really believed Kelly was
insane when the crime was committed,
and on that grounds they could not
bring themselves to recommend the
death penalty, they should have voted
to fmprison him for life. The senti-
ment aroused by heartbroken mother
in the court room should not have
deferred them from doing their duty
to society. For that matter there are
other heartbroken mothers-the
mothers of the two men Kelly SO
brutally murdered.
The whole Kelly case has been a
fiasco The officers who arrested him
at Council Bluffs and the judge who
ordered his detention at the Knoxville
institution testified at the trial in Des
Moines that he was insane. II they
believe this Kelly should not have
been sent to an inebriate hospital, but
to an insane asylum, and he should
have been properly guarded.
The list of murders in this country
is growing at an appalling rate, and
the leniency of courts and juries is one
Of the principal reasons for this in
