A Foolish Pardon.

The pardoning of Clyde Msttox last
week Was one of President Mckinley
greatest bluniers. Mattox is a bad
man aud ought to be in the peniten-
siary the remainder of his life. The
jury and court which convicted him
knew what they were about, and their
action should not have been over ruled
by the president Mattox says he
will lead q better life. Probably
there is not criminal in the peniten-
tiary who would not make the same
promise if there was a prospect of
gaining his liberty. Sympathy for
the murderer's mother undoubtedly
brought about the pardon of young
Mattnx, but under the circumstances
it should not have figured in the
matter. A dispatch from Guthrie,
Oklahoma. SAYS: There is much
indignation here over the pardon of
Clyde Mattox today, by the president.
after serving less than three years for
one OF the must coId-bl .oded murders
in the history of the territory. Besides
escaping from prison once and being
such troublesome prisoner that it
was necessary some months ago to
transfer him from the federal prison
to the Kansas penitentiary. Young
Mattox knocked down and robbed a
man IN this city while he was out on
bail, and for which charge of high
way robbery stands against him in
