OPPOSE DEATH PEN ALTY !N NEBRASKA Hearing Before Judiciary Committee of House Argie Measure in Line with Will of Gov. II. R. 518. abolishing capital pun ishment except for the murderer who, while under sentence, delibera tely kills another, was the subject of an open hearing before the house judiciary committee Thursday night. Representative Hakanson is author of the bill. The proviso of the death penalty in payment of the second killing is intended as a possible safe guard against . J recurrence of the prison outbreak of a few years ago. The hearing was for the purpose of giving those in favor of the bill an opportunity to express their per sonal views. Clifford Rein handled the program for the opponents of capital punishment. He said that while not full' acquainted with the warden's position, he does know that the bill is directly in line with the recommendations made to the legisla ture by the governor ard that the conclusions of the executive as ex pressed in his message match almost to a letter the language of the bill. Mrs. G. W. Haynes, of Omaha pre sented petitions containing some 2,200 names of citizens who are in favor of complete abolishment of capital punishment. She said that this form of punishment is in direct violation of divine law and against public morals. "As individuals," she said, "we have no right to kill. Does this form of punishment lessen crime? If we 1 11 m .& 1. : 1 ue ,e ine iie.s. e take the view that it has encouraged crime an that it breeds revenge UOU said, 'Vengeance is Mine.' Life im prisonment is more dreaded by the murdered than death. I believe that life imprisonment should mean life Imprisonment." Mrs. Frank P. Quick said that it is worse for the tate to take a life than for an individual to kill. "A man should have a right to a second chance alwavs." she said. "I cannot see why even the life termer iui Derson. uertainiv vou cannoi ' - m " say that both Cole and Crammer committed the murder for which they were electrocuted." "Any man will feel better if he j loans his sympathies for the' uplift of j unfortunates," said Judge W. R. j England. "You know that not a j man of you would pull the trigger that means death. Isn't it because of the feeling that there's something higher than brute force? The matter 'of taking life is infectious. Can you tell me that it is elevating?" Judge England paid high tribute to Warden Fenton. He said that he is one of the best penitentiary heads in the United States.

Frost, Manager Manley, Nebraska Will You Do Your Best? Sure, prices have come down, and another year is here. Already Spring is knocking at our doors. How about the coming season; are you going to give nature an opportunity? The land has sustained last year's crops, and like the horses and yourself, has need of something to replace that which has been used up, if it is to give maximum results this year. The Litchfield manure spreader is solving the prob lem of replenishing the elements needed for coming crops and maintaining the value of your land. Would you allow your family or your horses to starve? Why then starve your land? We have absolutely the best spreader that modern science has yet devised. Allow us to give you a dem onstration and see for yourself. MANLEY Lumber Prices are Lower! The farmer, laborer, manufacturer and retailer are taking their loss. All must do this in the present re adjustment prpcess, and we have taken stock, and are placing our lumber prices back to where they formerly were, even at a considerable loss. They are now at a level where even the present low prices of grain will justify their purchase for immediate building. We furnish you better prices and service than you could possibly hope to secure from out of town firms. We buy from the mills the same as they. When you buy out of town you pay for reloading together with a high local freight rate, and you know what that means over $50 per car. We can save you that, and you don't have to purchase a lot more than you need, either. See us before buying. And say, how about a hog house or a chicken house? They will pay you big dividends. We have plans, specifications and estimates of their cost. We want your business on the basis of good ser vice and money-saving prices. Unless we can give you these, we don't want you to feel under any obligations to buy of us. Frost, Curyea & Murtey W. H. FROST, Manager ing interest. A meeting was held at the Kelly grain office last Tuesday when a representative number of the citizens of Manley met. with Mr. A. Peters of Louisville, and H. A.
