He LIKES The BUGLE
\ Subscriber Asks Help in Finding a
Lost Calf.

The State Journals famous comic
pages are probably the most widely
read of any in the middle west. En-
bryo humorists the country over are
abitious to contribute to them. But
that is not all. A man out at Mankato
has scored. In a letter to the editor
of the Bingville Bugle "Googin Boog-
insticker'' insists that the Bugle help
him find his pet calf. For several
reasons the letter cannot be printed in
the Bugle but it follows:
Editor Bugle:
I'VE thort as how maybe the Bling
vile Bugle cud he1lop US materily in

follows:

Should Pattern After Connecticut
(Meriden Record).

Again the governor of New York
has been subjected to the unjust and
unnecessary worriment attendant up
on the law Of the state which makes
him the last tribunal in the matter of
life and death.
Several times Governor Whitman
has been forced to act the role of
savior or slayer by giving the WORD
which either sent a man to his death
or gave him a lease of life.
Last Friday night he was again i'm
portuned by men Of high standing TO
pardon a man. The latter had been
twice reprieved by the governor but
the courts and individual judge had
found him guilty of murder and New
York's chief executive refused to IN
terfere.
The governors position was made
still more comfortable by Warden o.
borne who at a dinner called on his
companions to appeal to the governor
to "save an innocent man" They
telephoned, but their pleas were I'M
availing.
It ought not be possible to put
the governor of any state in such a
rights of individuals. One man ought
not to have the power to give life Or
DEATH Connecticut has solved the
question by it's board of pardons
which hears all applications Of per-
sons sentenced to death. AS nobody
can be hanged between sentence and
a meeting of the board it stands to
reason that the claims Of the accused
must be threshed out so thoroughly as
to leave little doubt.

where capital punishment is con-
cerned, savors too much of the dime
