The PardOning Power.

In discussing the question of the exercise
OF the pardOnlng power vested in the gov
ernor the Willmar Argus says;
The chief executive of a state should pardon
one. or commute any sentence of prisoner unless
il has been established beyond doubt, that the
person in question is innocent and wrong
fully imprisoned. The political machinery of
country is powerful organization. but this one
question it should not have the power to reach.
board of pardons is now being advised by
persons, and by the governor himself. A board of
pardons would be an excellent body to relieve the
governor for sanctioning any measure in the
leasing Of criminals. But we see the same unrea-
sonable power vested in them. No limit, but upon
application they could release the worst criminals
in the state of Minnesota.
While it is likely that this power is mis-
used at times there is a necessity for par
dOning power and it is as safe in the hands
of the governor as anywhere. Like in
many other instances in the government in
the United States and the different states
the fidelity of the officer to the interests of
his constituents and the force of public SEN
timent must be relied upon to hold him to
a proper exercise of the power placed in his
hands 1t would be impossible to so pre-
scribe the duties of such an officer as the
make misuse of his power.
Further Oh in this article from which
above quotation is taken the Argus suggests
that the law be so changed that the first
move for the pardon of any murderer come
from the relatives of the victim. This
might work we'll in many cases, but again
there are many persons who let their feel
ings run away with their judgment and
this plan might result in more injustice than
the present arrangement. Let the old
adage be remembered. that it is better that
nine guilty persons should escape than for
one innocent person to suffer. There is an
other phase of this subject which is too
frequently overlooked and that is, that all
criminals are too often considered incurably
bad. The heart of the basest criminal may
undergo change and if those who are best
able to know, are satisfied that reformation
is complete. we see no good reason why the
convict should not be pardoned and allowed
to enjoy little OF the freedom SO dear to
the human heart. In this enlightened age
Of the world, prisons are intended more for
the reformation than for the punishment of
men.-Todd County Argus.
