Huronite. l6: Another case Is men
toned where the governor Of South Da-
kota has pardoned a man from the peni-
Tertiary '.to save his citizenship" This
man was sent to the penltentiary for
burglary. one of the most brutal and
dangerous Of crimes. This to ''save his
citizenship" has, on frequent occasions,
under the present administration, been
given as a reason for executive clemency.
The Huronite confesses that it has'never
quite understood this anxiety to save
the citizenship Of men who have been so
VIGOROUSLY false to good citizenship as
to be %righteously condemned to the
states prison. Mrs. Simmons mentions
in her public speeches one instance

about this?
