A ONE-MAN BOARD
Of Pardons Provided For in q Bill
Discussed Today.

The board of pardons seems to be in a
fair way to be abolished after all, not
withstanding. the fact that several bills
both in the special session and in the he
the. house committee of the whole today
which was prepared by the committee on
state affairs, providing for the abolition
of the board and authorizing the governor
to appoint a pardon clerk for his office.
Judge Babb moved to strike out all parts
of the bill except that which repealed the
law creating the board of pardons, ard the
bill was recommended for passage in that
shape. 1t drew out conSiderab BILE discus
sion, hOwever-Some members were FOR the
board and some for the clerk; some want
ed neither and some wanted both. 1t was
charged that the Kansas board of pardons
is often corrupt but Mr.. Dawes said this
was no reason why the board should be
abolished and clerk appointed in its
place, as this would reduce the power of
recommending pardons from three men to
one and the governor never follows the
recommendations of the board in more
than half the cases, anyway.
Adams of Butler said: ''It is common
talk that a pardon could be procured from
the last board by putting up the price.
We maintain an expensive system of
and then maintain expensive board of
pardons to get them out. The board ought
to be abolished

The Record of Charles J. Drew Re.

A prominent Republican, whose name
can be used if necessary, said today:
$50 far as this effort of the Capital
to make this political fight a newspaper
controversy is concerned, I care nothing.
In any event this is more than a dis
pute between daily papers. AS long as
these people who are interested in re-
newing the franchise of the old water
company or in selling the plant at a big
price to the city are in favor of Mr..
Brooks, I think it safe for the friends
of the rights of the people to support
Mr.. Drew. 1t is safe to vote for Drew
even though the Journal should join
the Capital in supporting Brooks. Speak

have the tendency to dishearten the

1T is said that the true cause OF the
frequent famines that prevail in Rus
STA is not so much the lack of food
stutfs in the empire as it is the absence
of means OF transportation of produce
from sections where crops are good to
those where there is want. It is not
easy for us to realize just how much
we owe as nation to the men who
have developed our railroad facilities.
Now what the nation needs most is q
thorough and compreh ensive system of
road construction. thus affording the
farmers quick and easy access to
market. It is estimated that almost
as great a share of the proceeds of the
average farm is wasted on poor roads
as is gained from the use of modern
machinery. We cannot call ourselves
civilized until our main highways and
our city traffic facilities are as finely
systematized as are the steam rail-
roads.

1T is significant that the railroad
employees in Chicago and the various
states Of the northwest have of their
own volition inaugurated a movement
to combat by organized effort the ten
dency so apparent in many states to
legislate against the interests of the
railroads, in the false apprehension
that the railroads are public enemies.
We have no patience with those people
who assume that every concern which
Is handling large sums of money is
necessarily public enemy. The rail-
roads, with all their jobbery, stock
watering, wild cat fnanciering, and
robbery of small stock holders, have
been the most potent agent in the up
building of this country. Nowhere is
this fact clearer than right here in Ell
Paso. Without the railroads we
should have been fatally handicapped.
