Here comes long proviso-l shall
not read ii all, but it is what is known
as the celebrated Drake amendment
in which the whole law and the whole
system of pardons by the President
was attempted to be preserved and
the doctrine lying at the bottom OF II
turned back on the country. For
example, instead of the pardon
when it was produced in the Court
of Claims showing that the man
was loyal, il was to be taken as evil
dence that he was disloyal, and the
Supreme Court was denied jurisdiction
of case which had been dismissed on
a plea of that sort. But the safety
valve of the Government had not yet
been expelled from this country, and
when klein's case reported in IL Wal
lace) went TO the Supreme Court they
said to these gentlemen, "Stand aside,
the Supreme Court has already said in
a case in 4 Wallace that the pardon
was as broad as the ofiense and neces-
sarily the grace must be as broad as
