WORKING FOR Moshcr's managers in
MOSHER'S this city and elsewhere
RELEASE are not nearly so
smooth as persons entrusted with such
duties should be. There is no longer
any doubt that an organized effort is
being made to secure a reduction of
Moshcr's term of imprisonment. But
instead of working quietly, Moshcr's
agents very foolishly resort to news
papers, attempting to arouse the sym
pathy of the public Tho following are
extracts from a recent article in the
Omaba Bee:
"lie says ho cares nothing for himself
and feels that his punishment is no
more than he deserves, but is sensitive
upon tho question of his family. It is
not the four or five years' service that
troubles him bo much as it is the reflec
tions cast upon him in the' future. He
claims that to a man of previous good
character and right living a conviction,
sentence and one day's service is the
acme of punishment that can bo con
ferred upon him, for he then goes out
into tho world an 'ex con' and is branded
as such throughout all future years,
whatever hie conduct may be. All bis
family connection must bear the stigma
of being related to a convict, even unto
the third generation. He manifested
much feeling in talking of this side of
his existence, indicating beyond question
ho sincerely felt the extent of the blight
he has brought upon himself and fam
ily. While on this line he said he felt
sorry for W. W. Taylor, the defaulting
treasurer of South Dakota, for, from his
own experience, he knew Taylor had
been punished as much already, in his
forced flight, hiding, return, humiliation
and family disgrace, as any number of
years' sentence in a penitentiary could
inflict.
"During the conversation Mosher ap
peared very restless, although he talked
of a criminal's family, but the criminal
himself ought not to be permitted to
assume the coward's rolo and seek
refuge behind the skirts of a wife or
mother."
It is not exactly clear that Mosher is
in any way entitled to clemency. His
sentence fell far Bhort of being commen
surate with his crime, and to shorten
that sentence would be a insult to the
people of Lincoln and Nebraska, and an
outrageous departure from justice.
There are a good many men in the fed
eral and state penitentaries who are
much more deserving of consideration
than Mosher men who are serving sen
tences of ten years and upwards for
comparatively trivial crimes. We are
not specially considerate of the men
who steal our coat and clothes to keep
themselves warm, and there is no reason
why we should be particularly indulg
ent to the man who despoiled a whole
town. The effect of these newspaper
movements on the part of Mosher's
managers will bo to arouse a greater
indignation against the convict. They
will fail of their purpose.
THE PAPERS For a couple of weeks
ARE there has been more or
CAREFUL less talk of a scandal
ous character affecting prominent per.
sons in this city, and it is to the credit
of the newspapers that they have not
hurried into print the hearsay particu
lars. The papers have made a thorough
investigation and they have been unable
to find any foundation for the reports
that have been circulated, and it is the
prevailing opinion that innocent per
sons have been grossly injured by the
talk tint has been indulged in.

receiving the highest number of votes up to G p. m., September 14th, the wheels
will be awarded.

HOW THE CONTEST STANDS
FROM THE GYGLE EDITOR.
The Couriek has received the follow
ing communication this week from the
gifted associate editor of the L. A. W.
Bulletin, Boston,: "Dear Sir: You
credit our "Questions by a Beginner"
jingle to the Bicycling World." Put
speckless specks, old boy

ireeiy and almost incessantly lor one Mighty glad to have
and a nail hours, the duration of the
visit. He appears to have the confi
dence and good will of the officers of the
prison, and looks eagerly forward to the
time of his release. When that time
comes it is more than possible he will
return to Lincoln, the scene of his tri
umphs and misfortunes. His relatives
are generally people of means, and they
will doubtless assist him in starting
again in business. Then, with the
shrewdness and sagacity all know him
There are some small changes in the
cycle contest this week. Some new
names appear in both lists and a slight
increase in the vote of some of the con
testants published last week. There are
a number, as The Coukiek knows,
quietly at work whoso names have not
yet been sent in, and the contest
promisea to be a spirited one.
In answer to a number of notes, tele
phone messages, etc., The Courier will
say. Any person who is a member of
any cycle organization can enter the
contest. I'ou can enter at any time up
to 5:30 p. m. September 14th.
Votes will be counted that are received
up to 6 p. m. Sept. 14th. You must be
long to some cycling organization but it
matters not to which one.
By noting the vote it will be found
that 300 votes were cast for the editor
of the wheel column of The Courier
and 200 for Mr. Will Allen of the 4 C's.
Neither Mr. Allen nor myself are eligible
in the contest. Both are connected
with The Courier and as no Courier
employee is allowed to take part in the
contest these votes are misplaced. Here
after no vote cast for any person con
nected with this paper will be counted.
Mr. Allen and myself make our best
