for the punishment of murder are much the
same in Great Britain and In all parts of the
United States. So too the processes estab-
hshed for trial of persons accused of murder
and for the punishment of those convicted.
The one essential difference is that In Great
Britain the laws enforced the courts act
promptly, trials follow swiftly upon arrest, and
punishment upon conviction. In this country
the records show that exactly in proportion
as law Is lax and courts are slow, so homicides
Increase in frequency.
The lesson being plain. the moral is palmer.
We can check the increase of murder just as
soon as we make woud-be murderers know
that punishment will be and swift We
can check Ii In other way"
Can any one deny the correctness OF the in
ferences drawn from these figures? The fig
ures tell fearful story. They should teach q
great lesson.
The only way to remedy the present evil is
lin the creation of strong popular sentiment
which will result in a better enforcement OF
our laws against homicide. The cure rests
with the pubhc--with the men who sit on the
iuries They can apply 1t. as the English peo-
Pile have, when they fully realize the grave
need of such Observation-Disclosures News.

Editor Richmond Virginian
When such a prominent man as w. H. Vim
cent of Capron publicly enters his protest
through the columns of the press against the
sale OF liquor during the State fair and backs
it up by being consistent enough to stay away
from the fair on that account, It is time for
the State Fair association to sit up and take
notice that the time is approaching when the
best people of Virginia will not attend that
which lis so contaminated by that which they
condemn. II the fair cannot be run without
the sale OF liquor, then 1t had best not be run.
Let the Christian man and temperance adyo-
cate stay away. w. b. JET.

from the high tariff laws enacted by the Re-

such laws"
Again in the tariff plank il says:
.The high Republican tariff is the PR1N-

Nowhere does the platform declare that the
tariff is the entire cause of the high cost of
living IT declares aud one but Roosevelt
and benefciaries of the excessive tariff rates
will deny it. that the tariff is the principal
cause OF the unequal distribution OF wealth
and responsible in large measure for the
