be spent right here in the county as

grain to market over. Later it is ex-
pccted that this entire road to the

Lunacy and the Prison Labor Commission
into single department. made by Governor
Sproul in his annual message to tho Lcgis-
lature, has been embodied in bill creating a
Department of Public Welfare.
The plan is Il good one, for it concentrates
authority over welfare work in the hands
of single official at an adequate salary.
1t ought to bring about economy in admins
tration and greater efficiency.
Other consultations could bo made with
profit TO the state, but IL a beginning ,an
be made this year the precedent thus cstab.

MURDER AS A REMEDY

TNHERE are times whom one is inclined to
L the opinion that Franklin was unduly
optimistic when he concluded that man was
a reasonable being. If reason prevailed there
would be- no murders for of all futile rene
dies it is the least effective. Take for pur-
poses of illustration the two cases that were
in the news in one day.
Premier Dato. of Spain, was shot dead in
his automobile in Madrid. Whatever griev-
ances tho murderer may have had against
the premier. the death Of that official would
not remove them.
Political reform is not advanced by assas-
sination. AS a matter of fact. it is usually
retarded. The men who killed Garfield and
Mckinley were more or less insane. and the
man who killed Lincoln was mentally un-
balanced
The assassination of the last Alexander In
Russia delayed the very thing which the
assassins professed to desire. Alexander was
on the point of signing n constitution which
had already been drafted. But before he
could put his signature to it he was dead.
If the assassins had withheld their hand the
history of the world would have been very
different. 4 working constitution would
have been promulgated, the task of libcraliz-
ing the autocracy would have been begun
and when Alexander had died in the natural
course of nature the unfortunate Nicholas
would have come to the throne with the duty
on him of carrying on the work which his
father had begun and it would have been
very different Russia which would have
Joined with the Allies in beating back the
Prussans when they set out on their excur-
sion into world dominion.
Political assassination is so unintelligcnt
that it is astonishing that men will resort
to it. The successor of Premier Dato in
Spain will be compelled to exert himself to
