The colonel claims to be a great sin-

proclaimed himself Wireer than the
authorities of bis home county, Ralls,
by refusing to par takes on personal
property. The county collector, how

A C0MJIENUAKLE VERDICT.
The jury that convicted Bud Taylor
of the murder of Ruth Xollard in'the
criminal court of Jackson county paid
a debt it owed to societv and is
entitled to the thanks and good opin
ion of every law-abiding citizen.
The defense set up by the attorneys
for the murderer was insanity and for
several months past Taylor has played
well his part. In addition, his mother,
aged and feeble, told with faltering
voice of his weak mental condition
from the witness stand, and the wife
irom wnom lie had been divorced came
from another state to swear that he
was an epileptic and not responsible
for his acts.
But all this did not suffice to offset
the evidence of the state which
showed conclusively that a crime was
never more deliberately planned than
was the murder of this' defenseless
girl while walking along one of the
streets of Kansas City. Every move
indiieaupto the tragedy was cau
tiously made by Taylor and bore more
the mark of the shrewd schemer than
the man of diseased mind.
If ever a man under the laws of
Missouri deserved death on the gallows
that man is Taylor and the quicker he
is hanged and gotten out of the way
the tetter. Society demands the
removal of all such criminals.

he was accorded a renornination. The
logic of events should have made the
sub-treasury the paramount issue in
184rt- The whigs, however, were un
willing to conduct a campaign of rea
son. They refused to discuss issues.
Clay struck the whig keynote when he
said: "This is no time for argu

cider, with "sound and fury sianifvinir
nothing," the whigs swept even-thin,,

General R. A. Aider's book Is nut at

One of f.eneral Alger's ereatest mis
takes lies in the fact that he cannot

sometimes unjust, but it is nevcrtlie
less true, for In politics nothing so,-.

re-election. Friends of Hon. Wollln,,.
