A woman put up the required cash to cover the costef a transcript of | the evidence for an appeal and a stay of execution was granted by Governor Deneen. In other words, another lease of life was secured solely by the use of a paltry sum of money. Is this not a condition of affairs that is repulsive to every American? Is it not opposed to everything else American? The man with- out a cent should have the same chance for defense that is avail- able to the man with millions. In petty offenses the principal of course is the same, butas the result of a trial for a minor offense is not of such vast im- portance the application of the principle in such cases would When a man is on trial for his life, however, he is entitled to the best defense possible, regardless of cost.

All reports from western Minnesota and the Dakotas are to the effect that the crop was never looking ‘We shall hope for the day when farming shall become so di- versified that we shall not need to worry whether the wheat crop is a bumper, but at present it is a matter of great concern even to this section which raises little wheat.

We are sur- prised when we consider that the precipitation this year has been far above the average and yet crops of all kinds are reported looking well. A few more years of drainage and we shall be proof against this danger. A WIDE interest is manifest in the establishment of a wholesale grocery house in Bemidji.
