President Cleveland and His Pardons.

Z
In his Character Sketch of Grover
Cleveland, printed in the August num-
Der of the ReUieaO at ReUieaos, Mr..
George F. Parker gives us an idea of
the amount of time and care that is
given to consideration of applications
for pardon by conscientious President.
Speaking of Mr.. Cleveland's painstaking
methods while President of the United
States, he says:
Many a convict owed his pardon to
the careful study of his case made by
the President of the United States in
the wee sma' hours of the morning,
when the great mass of his country
men were asleep. ...
Take the matter of pardOns. During
his term of office, he filed more than 400
memOrandumS in such cases, each of
which required work, whether the ap-
plicatiOnS were granted or denied. Here
was man who had robbed a national
bank; there one who had forged gov
eminent note; again. it would be poor
Indian out on some of the reservations.
probably condemned to death for some
comparatively venial OffenSe. In the
greater Of these cases, he would prOba-
bly, reach his conclusion more easily
than in that of the poor Indian. Many
times, in going over case Of this kind
he would find something which did not
seem to him something that the
Pardon Clerk had perhaps passed upon
almost without question. 1t would
probably be some knotty point of law
or fact, which might only attract the
attention of judge watchful for every
point. Many and many time, while
such study was going on, the Presi-
dent would stop his examination of the
case, send not only for the ordinary
papers prepared in the Department of
Justice for the use of the President in
such cases, but for the original record
containing the testimony, running per-
haps into hundreds of pages of type
written matter. Then he would sit
down and go over it as carefully as if
he were judge deciding whether the
evidence would warrant him in holding
an accused man for trial.
This was merely his way. He felt
that when any mans life or honor were
at stake, and great nation in it's con-
fdence had put upon him the duty of
protecting the rights, even of the hum
blest individual, he would do it, no
matter what labor involved nor how it
affected his personal comfort.

HANGING IS FOR THE POOR.

The editor of the Sunday Gazetteer
of Denison, Texas, is plain spoken
man, stranger to sophistry, and does
not hesitate, as so many do, to openly
declare disagreeable truths. In the
matter of the Col. H. Clay King COM
mutation the Gazetteer editor says:
Gov. Buchanan, of Tennessee, finally yielded
to the persistent clamOr of certain men of infu-
ence and wealth. and backed by others occupy
ing high positions in state and nation, committed
the sentence of the murderer H. Clay King to
imprisonment for life. This was cOld-bloOded
murder if there ever was one, and had he been a
poor man his neck would have been stretched in
short order. Gov. HOgg made fool of himself
in using his influence to set aside the verdict of
the jury, as did Gov. Young, of Kentucky, and
number of congressman, and other prominent
men. 1t simply goes to show that the death pen
atty is provided only for poor devils, unable to
control money and influence. If leniency is to
be shown it should be to the ignorant, whose
passionate natures predominant An educated
man like King, is supposed to not only know

the police; but there are other and bet
ter ways of informing them than by
publishing it to the world on the day
he has paid the penalty of his crime.
There is the BertillOn system of identi-
fication which is secret and yet practi-
cal. The mans record and accurate
description may be taken and sent to
every police department in the United
States at small cost and then remain
forgotten for all time, unless the man
is again arrested, when it comes to light.
In such system as this there is moth
ing to which any man wishing to amend
his ways can object, for it does not ex-
pose him to the annoyance of being
made known to the army of unprinci-
pied and irresponsible beings who prey
upon unfortunate humanity-we mean
the leeches spawned by the innumera-
BILE private detective agencies of this
country. We say, give the convict
the privilege, if he wishes it, of being
forgotten; permit him to steal away
and hide his shame.

HOLD WITH HER HANDS,

In Proverbs are mentioned "fOur
things which are little upon the earth,
but they are exceeding wise,' one of
these is the spider of which the proverb
says, "The spider taketh hold with her
hands, and is in kings palaces" There
is contained in that one sentence all the
philosophy of getting on in the world
She is exceeding wise, so she knows
that to succeed she must work, therefor
she "taketh hold with her hands, con-
sequently she soon finds herself in
"kings' palaces" 1t is the old story that
has repeated itself in the life of every
man who has risen from poverty and OBJ
security to wealth and renown. Those
who have gained these desider0ta by
accident have been few and have usual
ly fallen back to their natural condi-
tiOns in life. Those who would succeed
must take hold with their hands. Do not

In March, 1915, the Paris Moniteua
announced the expected return of En-
peror Napoleon from Elba. The first
announcement Of the Moniteur was far
from polite, but as the little Corsican

place in its tone:
"The cannibal has left his den."
"The Corsican wolf has landed in the

''The tiger has arrived at Cay"
"The wretch spent the night at Green

"The tyrant has arrived at Lyons

"CONvICTS.o

About the first of every month there
may be seen in the Cincinnati Enquirer
the above caption in large, bold type.
By reading below you will learn the
names of all the convicts who are to be
released from the Ohio state prison
during the month. This is in accord
with plan adopted by the prison man.
agement. 1t is claimed to be done in
the interest of the convicts friends and
to aid the police powers in keeping
track of criminals. While this thing is
entirely lawful, we think it is wrong.
When a man has served his sentence
his debt to the law is paid, and he
should be allowed to depart in peace
and quiet; and the past should be for
gotten, unless he invites it's revival by
pursuing an evil course. 1t can do no
good to the discharged prisoner, his
friends or society; but it may revive the
bad record of a man who, having spent
years in prison, goes out hoping, per-
haps, that the past will be forgotten
and that he may have the opportunity
of beginning life over again with bet
ter purpose. If he has friends who are
likely to help him make new start,
they will know the time of his discharge
without assistance from the newspa-
pers, and prison authorities know this
better than any other persons. The
scheme may help the police to some ex-
tent, but are they not apt to make
misuse of it? Some of the leading au-
thOrities on criminal and police affairs
say that many men who come out of
prison with the intention of leading
lawful lives are driven back into crime
by the treatment received at the hands
of the police authorities and others who
see in every eX-cOnvict man ready for
any crime. We do not believe that the
police in general are Intentionally un-
fair in their treatment of the ex-cOn-
vict, but the temptation is, when crime
has been committed, to make a show of
vigilance by arresting some one whom
the public will accept as the possible
criminal. To call man an ex-convict
is to more than half convict him. We
do not say that professional crimi-
nails record should be withheld from

 Certainly. I am glad to see any friend, and Charles Cornell has been a true one to me-"

 Cornell is more fortunate than I. You will welcome his coming and look upon him as friend, while am unrec. ognized at all. Is that just, Agnes?"
