0. WHAT A ROAST.

Robert j. Burdette has come out in
an expansion letter in the Los Angeles
Times that will make Adam Bede wig
gle to think that he didn't write it
first: II read a history that makes the
America boys heart burn in his breast
at every line he reads. I read of a peo-
pie who had grown from colony to an
empire: of a people that builded their
cabins in the forests two centuries ago,
and now look with level eyes into the
face of the greatest nation on earth,
finding none greater, stronger, nobler
than themselves; I read how this peo-
pie have made their name respected in
every land, their flag to be saluted on
every sea: I read how her statesmen
sit in the council of the nations, and
her scholars are revered in every hall
of learning. And so read on until I
came down to the history of Dakota,
and there I read that man up in
Sioux Falls wanted everybody to know
that he was ashamed of his country.

In refusing to pardon city treas
urer who violated his trust and was
sent to the penitentiary. the governor
of Washington lays down the propo-
sition that convicts should be pardon
ed only when they are proven to have
been innocent, when 1t is shown that
the sentence was excessive, or when.
while imprisoned, they are able to
render the state some signal service.
There may be other conditions that
would warrant exercise OF the pardon
ing power; but. leaving that out OF the
question, we are wholly in sympathy
with a governor who declines to abuse
1t by freeing a man whose position,
education and opportunities encour-
aged him to be everything but a thief.
The trusted official who sins against
light and knowledge" not because OF
the spur of need, is, of all criminals,
the one to be punished. Clemency
toward such an one brings the laws in
to contempt.

1t is fortunate for the country that
the founders of the republic left all Its
honors open to the poor. Some of the
men who have attained very high
rank in statesmanship had no capacity
to save money, and lived and died In
poverty. There has been more than
one great senator who never paid
taxes on an assessment of $4,000, and
who never owned home. And there
have been very few great statesmen In
this country whose names graced the
lists of heavy taxpayers.
