It is n fact easily proven that I
where hangings are most frequent, 1
murder is most, common. In the:
StateH of Rhode Island, Michigan. ;
Wisconsin and Maine where the!
death penalty has been abolished, j
life is more secure than in other
States of the Union.
The death penalty was abolished
in Switzerland in 1 S7t) and it is
the most peaceful nation of En- j
rope. Portugal abolished capital
punishment in 1*07 and murders
in that country have decreased
more than one half.
The acts of our last Congress j
prove that tho murderous spirit is
rampant in the United States.
Congress appropriated $180,075,- j
278 t<? the army and navy, the de- j
partmenta of our government de-j
\ oted to killing, and to agriculture,
devoted to feeding our population,
only $5,2US,!MK) were approptiated.
Tf these nppropriati(?na could be
reversed, think of the national development,
useful employment,

At the conference of coal miners
and operators held in Washington
recently, President KooRevclt nptlealcd
to John Mitchell- nrenident
of the miners union, to send the
men to work, promising an investigation
of their alleged wrongs by
a commission to be appointed by
the president and the report of the
commission to be followed in turn
by tl ic recommendation of proper i
legislation. Mr. Mitchell took the
matter before the presidents of the
various unions, and after much
dissenssioti upon the subject, sent
President roosevolt a letter stating
that he found it impossibly to
comply with his suggestion and as"sured
him that the only manner
in which the strike could be called
off was by concessions on the part
of the operators. In refusing to
accept the terms suggested, the
miners doubtless remember bow
little attention was paid to Roosc

An exchange directs attent ion to
the likelihood of the l\epul)li< nns
nominating a candidate for C'onpress
in each of the districts of
this State. This is a matter which
should bo considered of suflicient
importance by every qualified
Democratic voter to prompt him
to po to the polls and vote for the
pnrty nominee. The bipper majority
the Democratic nominees
receive, the less tin* probability of
their heats beinp contested, lie
it said tr> the discredit of our State,

Shnfroth, of Colorado, received

The nomination of the Hon.
Win. R. Hearst, of Now York, as a
oindidnto for Congress from the
eleventh district, is a source of
much gratification to Democratic
leaders. In his acceptance of the
nomination Mr. Hearst gave evidence
that he was well tilted for
the duties of representative. He
vigorously denounced the trusts
and made such a forcible statement
that his followers are looking
to him already as promising
timber on tho Democratic side of
the House.

Under the pressure brought to
bear by President Roosevelt, Gov.
Stone bus finally ordered the entire
military strenght of Pennsylvania
to the scene of the coal strike and
now the operators have an opporluity
to make good their claim that
they can nonesufficent coal to meet
present deimmds, irrespective of
the miners union.
