Who Will Be Leader

In the selection of Cleveland as the 1886 Repub-
convention city it brought out that neither
Herbert Hoover nor Senator William E. Borah is ce-
sired to lead the party in the next campaign. This
was brought out Tuesday when the party leaders,
who, as committeeman and committeewomen, spoke
for their respective state groups, at meeting in
Washington D. c. Governor ALT N. Landon, of Kan
sas, according to report has the edge on all other
candidates as of today. Governor Landon is farm
minded man and if selected the party's candidate
would carry good vote in the middle west However,
it is yet too early to make guess as to who will
lead the party in 1885, and even though no

Selling To Minors
W. have often wondered just
how the proprietors of pool halls
and beer parlors get away with as
little trouble as they do, relative to
allowing minors to patronize them.
Some boys who are twenty-one do
not look as old as others who are
sixteen. And after all, does not the
proprietor in most cases have to
take their word for 1t? Down in

responsibility on the buyer as well
as the seller. Bartenders are re-
quired to secure signed slips from
all young people, before selling
them, and on these slips the young
folks certify that they are twenty
one years old or over. Police check
over the records. Last week seven
boys and four girls were fined $50
and costs each for classifying their
ages. That's law that all beer and
liquor vendors would welcome, and
it would not only help them, but
would cut down the sale of drinks
to minors.-Cottonwo County

Last Monday evening Walter w.
Liggett, the crusading editor of the
Midwest American, was shot down
as he stepped out of his automobile.
About a year ago Howard Guilford,
editor of the Saturday Press, met
death in much the same manner.
The perpetrators of the Guilford
murder have never been arrested.
Both these editors were of the cru
sading type, and directed their eff
forts against the liquor gang, the
racketeers and the officials whom
they charged with more or less
connection with the criminal ele-
ments. One need not agree with
their journalistic methods to ac-
cord them the rights of a free
press, and to condemn the official
attitude that turns on the crusader
rather than against the criminal
elements against which he is cru
sading. He is entitled to life and to
a free statement of his opinions,
subject only to the laws of libel.

Rural Identification

During the past several weeks keen interest has
developed among the farmers of this community IL
the federal plan of rural identification. Under this
plan electrical equipment and installation of lines
and wires will be available to farmers long time
loan OF the amortization type.
We have been enormously led to believe that the
United States is far behind other countries in the
identification of farms AS matter of fact the OPP
posite is true, and this country leads the world in
rural identification and under this federal plan
there seems to be little possibility of it's tagging
back.
In densey populated states and counties the pro-
blem OF rural identification is not as difficult in
the sparser settled districts Ibis has been proven by
the fact that Japan Great Britain, France and Swe-
den all have made great strides in bringing power
to the farms well to urban homes. In France,
for instance, large number of the farmers reside
in villages not isolated farm homes, scattered wide
y across the land which lessons the expense of
extremely limited amount of lighting. In Japan
but two low-powered globes used in the
average electrified farm home, and the of power
appliances is virtually unknown.
In the large population states in this country,

1t may be a long time before this Improvement
is brought about the farms Of this community but
opportunity has been presented and the farmers
who interested should make it point to attend
the meeting in Sank Centre Saturday night to gain
first hand information to the Set-up of this
plan, which is designed to bring the comforts of the
city directly to their DOORS

ETADING THE FACTS

Latest revelations in the Illegal hang
ing OF slayer at San Quentin prison
throw light on the steps taken TO quiet
the matter by making somebody the
goat and causing the public to forget
about the incident
When the error first became known an
investigation" was conducted with the
result that q deputy in the office Of the
Los Angeles county clerk was suspend
ed for month, for negligence" or
something similar because of failure to
notify prison authorities that an appeal
had been filed in behalf of the man, act
ing as a stay of execution which should
have prevented him from being hanged
until the higher courts had passed on
his case.
The matter might have rested there
and been forgotten, and a similar Incl
dent might have occurred in the future,
had not the trial judge who presided
over the slayer's hearing, interested him.
self in the case. He knew an appeal had
been made and took it upon himself, as a
good judge should, to find out why the
execution had not been stayed.
The result of his investigation, which
developed into a grand jury inquiry,
shows that the notice of appeal was
properly forwarded to San Quentin
prison and Its receipt properly acknoWl-
edged by prison authorities. The fact
that it was handled in routine manner
and that minor clerk and not the
prison authorities personally made the
acknowledgement, does not lessen the
blame of prison officials in the least.
Written notice Of the appeal, even
though it may not have been in the prop
er legal form, was in their files and they
should have made it their business to as
certain that there was no notice of ap-
peal of any kind before proceeding with
the execution.
In this particular case the man was
guilty, admitted it before execution and
got what the law intended he should get.
But supposing he had not been guilty, as
sometimes happens. Supposing at some
future time an innocent man should be
hanged because notice of his appeal was
not spread in billboard letters before
prison authorities?
And what about the Los Angeles au-
thorities who were willing to have the
blame placed on an innocent deputy
when the facts show the fault lay else
where?
Steps are now being taken to guard
