JUSTICE
If Coss was a poor man he would be
serving sentence in the penitentiary,
he would not be able to have attorneys
to visit the governor, he could not
take his case to the supreme court.
Is it not a fact that the trial jury is
better able to tell whether a man is
guilty than the supreme court who only
has the record of the lower court?
This jury had an opportunity to study
each witness. With all due respect to
the supreme court the writer firmly be
lieves that this arm of the law should
be abolished. When a man with a
bank account gets into trouble he
makes his threat that he will carry his
case to supreme court if necessary to
beat the case. This remark should be
sufficient to convict, because it admits
of guilt. The man whose finances are
carried around in his vest pocket must
quit, because he cannot go to the sup
reme court, and right here is where
many criminals bluff the poor man out.
ELECTION DAY
CLOSE AT HAND
November 3, the people of the Unit
ed States will be given the privilege of
once more selecting a president. In
the selection of a man to fill this pos
ition we must select a man of ability
one who is capable and able to stand
forth and exercise his own mind.
There are five candidates in the field,
all men of high standing and the choice
u. ouch party.
Theodore Roosevelt, when he enter-
e 1 upon the duties of the office in 1904,
was held in the highest esteem of the
American people, party affiliation was
reduced to the minimum, and he went
into office loved by the people of this
nation as George Washington was in
revolutionary days. The republican
party has a man aspiring for the office
who has worked shoulder to shoulder
with this great statesman, a man who
has assisted in bringing about the suc
cessful termination of the present ad
ministration; a man, who if elected by
the people, will carry out the policies
of the present administration in a true
and fearless manner; a man who is not
changing from one theory to another
for no other purpose than to strike
some issue upon which he can be rail
roaded into the White House.
William H. Taft has a record upon
which he can stand, we know him by
past deeds, and we are not experiment
ing.
What canidate in this campaign
aside from Taft and Sherman has a re
cord on which to stand and ask for the
American yote? They have all had an
opportunity to distinguish themselves,
but what has this government benefitt-
ed by their efforts?
