We are not sure that it may not yet

to serve some time In the state deten-
ton house at Lansing II he or she
should be found guilty. possibility
that has become somewhat remote.
Time was in Kansas when murder
was a capital crime, then 1t was re-
duced to "a very serious crime which
was to be punished by life imprison-
ment. 1t is true that the laws stand
that way yet but since the passage Of
Democratic state administration the
idea of a murderer being punished by
more than a few years confinement
isn't to be thought of. Some years ago
the Leavenworth correspondent OF the
St Louis Globe-DemOcrat wrote up the
''lifers'' in the state penitentiary and
there were between so and 20 Of them.
Now there are but three or four, 1t IL
said, and the chances are that they
will be out before the end of this ad-
ministration. Serving q few years for
such little thing as killing q man or
woman is termed fnhuman in this day

while the body of her murdered hus-
band lies in the house and for his
little peccadillo he is thought to have
suffered sufficiently after being con-
i fined a few years. But, as we said
in the beginning, there still is some
punishment melted out to murderers.
They may hope that eventually the
killing of a fellow being will be a pass
to good society in Kansas but 1t hasn't
become SO yet. They should be care
full. Perhaps after we get our new
penitentiary and the refined methods
of dealing with prisoners have been
perfected q sentence to this institution
may become gladstone season Of rest.
