THE RIGHTS OF
FEDERAL JUDGES

The supreme court Of the United
States is about to pass upon an inter
esting question that relates to the
rights OF federal judges in the lower
courts to suspend sentence of prison
ers.
The immediate case is that of
James Henrahan, an Ohio banker,
who pleaded guilty and was thereupon
sentenced to prison by United States
District Judge John M. Killetts OF
Toledo, who Immediately entered an
order suspending the sentence indef-
ih.tly. Repeated efforts of the attor-
ney generals office to induce the
Judge to revoke the order met with
his obstruction. Thereupon, the su-
preme court was asked, and granted
rule against he judge, requiring
hlm to show cause why writ of
mandamus should not be issued at
yhe request of the attorney general,
compelling him to revoke his order
IsUspending the sentence.
This case does not stand alone.
Other federal judges have exercised
discretion in suspending indefin-
itely sentences of prisoners, and have
in effect, set in motion a parole sys-
TEN Of their own. The attorney gen.
eral and his subordinates are no
doubt anxious to have this question
of the power of the judge to suspend
sentence definitely settled.
AS the matter now stands, district
or federal judge appears to have the
right to indefinitely suspend the SEN
lence of prisoner by Immediately
entering an order to that effect after
formally passing sentence upon the
accused. The effect Of this is to com
pletely relieve guilty person from
punishment for his crime. 1t is clear
that in the operation of this rule the
action of the jury, which finds man
guilty, knowing that it carries pun
ishment with it, is completely pulli.

ing officials ere in vain.-Colorad

REACTION IN ILLINOIS.

II is one of the mysteries Of mod

ture can do so many astounding
things and seem to get away with the
performance, remarks the Des Moines

Accordingly, the house last week
passed bill increasing the salaries
Of legislators from $4,000 to $500
per srnum and then passed an "emer-
gency' Gill which appropriated $26,-
COO to reimburse the members for
re ilway fare to and from Springfield
Whetf or it was 20 reassure the tax
payers that this would not happen
again, or whether from an entirely

tire reNt measure passed was a bill
to legalize free railroad passes to leg

Finally, as a climax to this impress
s.ve exhibition of craftsmanship, the
senate passed law legalizing "ath-
letic exhibitions and giving the state
treasury 71k per cent of the net re-
ceipts of such exhibitions. This bill,
1T is also claimed, will pass the house
by a big majority.
AS this is the class of legislative
effort which Illinois has been harvest
ing for several years, regardless of
the political complexion of the men,
hers, it can be seen that the disease
il far deeper than partisanship. The
curse of that state has been for years
been bipartisan alliances which had
lts worst exemplification in the rise

THE WARS.

President Wilson is surely having a
trying time Of it. The nation is de-
bending upon him to do his best to
secure all the rights American citi-
zens should have Oh both sea and land
and to do this without resorting to
war.
We do not believe that many Amer
leans are anxious for war with Ger
many or any other country. Ameri-
cans are undoubtedly indignant on
account of the wrong done to the
American people, but they see no
advantage resulting from war.
President Wilson is making a fight
which, if victorious, will make it pos
sirl. tor those people of the earth
who ale not engaged in war to travel
OH anybcdy's vessels. This country
is net at war with Germany; there
fore, Why should an American en-
danver his life when he goes on a
German vessel?
America is not at war with Great
Britain; therefore, why should Ameri-
can lives be endangered on British
ships?
If three farmers live in a neighbor-
hood and two of them are deadly enc
mics and the third is friendly to both
of them, why should the one neu-
tral man endanger his life if he ac-
cepts an invitation to ride TO town
with one or the other of the two enc
mics? This is the principle involved
in the killing of Americans on Brit
ish ships or killing Americans on
German ships.
In the United States we want peace.
Decency and self-respect require that
we keep any army and navy ready
for quick action in an emergency, but
we should not have any purpose to 90
into the war business.
The wars now going on in Europe
are wholly unnecessary and discredit
the intelligence of the age in which
we live. There can be no apology
made for them. But now that these
wars are on they ought to continue
until somebody is everlastingly whip
ped. When two men are fighting and
are separated before results are
achieved the fight is likely to be re-
newed. But when one man is whip
ped to his own satisfaction he is pre-
pared to shake hands with his adver-
sary. Then he has learned something.
He will be better neighbor there
after.-Des Moines Capital.

CANNING VEGETABLES.

1t will soon be the time of year
when our gardens will be in their
prime. The question which will con-
front the housewife is "Will we can
vegetables in the home thereby saw
irg the garden product, or "Will we
waste this material that might be
carnd to such good advantage?"
Many people have trouble in car
BILE may be overcome by thorough
cooking. One very satisfactory way
is as follows:
Select young and tender vegetables
pack firmly in the jar, cover with cold
water end add teaspoonful of salt
to each quart. Put on the rubber
and ton and steam for five or six
hours il boiler or steamer. A boi.-
'r l1ay be used in pace of steamer
if false bottom or rack is used to
keep the jars from the bottom of the
boiler
In high attitudes about one-fourth
more time must be added to the time
given in low altitude recipes. Green
peppers are canned very well by the
cold water method Select the green
peppers, cut off the stem-nd and re-
move the seeds. Parboi peppers for
about fifteen minutes or until the pep
pers are tender. They should not be
cooked long enough to caus them to
lose their shape. Pack them in jars
pcur cold water over tn ppprs and
seal. They are ready for use any time
curing the winter. These peppers may
be filled with cold slaw, left over
meats and other suitable Filings.
If care is taken in cooking the vg-
etaDles a suffcint length of time and
| if the vegetables selected are fresh
tn trouble in canning vegetables will
be ovrcome.-Maletta Wilson, Colo

A writer from the La Plata mining

farmers and automobiles, but very
little for the mining sections. The
matter deserves serious consideration.

now. A strong mining association

city, should be organized.

pie can take their families and friends

The visitors will march from the

more forcibly to the investment pub
lie If it would see greater and more
rapid development Of its mines.
When Durango was at its greatest
prosperity and activity, it saw it's
mines working steadily, it had good
roads into the mining districts, and
Its streets were filled with people,
all nitent on business. Why not
pring about this condition again? Sill
verton, through its Commercial club,
is making splendid headway in bring
ing Its mining opportunities to the
