 The court further declares that whe- there the death penalty for murder shall remain in this state is for the legislative branch of the government to determine. and that under the oath of office taken by the judges the courts must support and admins ter the law as it exists. The con- tention urged in this connection. it is stated has no merit and is entirely frivolous, and it is ordered that the pretended appeal be dismissed.
 The supreme court denied the mo- tiOn to consolidate in the cases of Francisco Rodriguez, Miguel Peralta, N. B. Chavez and Eduardo Perez vs R. B. Sims, but permission was granted to use the same abstract of record and briefs in each case. These are the appeals of the four other Mexicans who were sentenced to hang at Florence, July 30.

WILD OATS
By George Fitch

There are two kinds of agricultur- ists. One kind sow tame aats in the country fields and the other SOW wild oats on the Great White Ways.
 Tame oats are sown in the spring, but wild oats are sown all the year round. Tame oats are sown between daybreak and sunset. but the most successful wild oat agriculturalists start nrtting in the crop about midnight and ride home with the milkman in the morning. Tame oats will not grow without rain. but if there is anything that isn't nee essary in raising q crop of wild oats it is water-except in minute quanti- ties as a chaser.
 The young man who has q large quantity of wild oats to put in usually dresses for the job very carefully. He wears all the clothes his tailor will trust him for. And yet sowing wild oats is infinitely harder on clothes than the other job. Night after night, the sower will come home with his plug hat mashed down over his ears and ane tail of his dress coat unaccounted for. This proves that the wild oats farmer

But said plug hat would last seven years longer in tame oats field than it usually does in the wild oats business.
 The bona fide farmer puts in all his oats in few days, but the happy young man with the soft pompadOur hair and the pellet of gray matter un- der his left ear sows wild oats with in time. frequently working twenty-four hours day at the job.

 The cost of sowing wild oats depends on the sower It usually takes all he has and the crop can't be marketed for seven cents still the wild oats sower is very scOrnful of the plain and freck- led farmer and laughs loudly at his foOlishness in sticking to the unillum- mated style of agriculture. It is quite safe to do anything at which the wild oats sower laughs loudly.

Tertiary for the murder of his wife,
who was a Greensburg girl, in 1910.
Governor Capper is to be commend

those sentenced to a term of life in
prison for murder, serve only a
short part of their term, and then,
BY appealing to the sympathies of
a governor, again gain his liberty.
In Kansas the punishment for first
degree murder is Imprisonment for
life, and if the law is to be enforced
tho full sentence should be served,
unless, of course, in the mean time,
it could be shown by good evidence
that the one imprisoned was not
guilty. Under such condition,
and under 10 other, a parole or a
pardon should be granted In some
states the punishment for murder is
death. "lhou shalt not kill" No
