THE PARDONING POWER.

The wise exercise of the pardoning
devolves upon the Chief Executive of the
State. When the late Zebulon B. Vance
was in his first year as Governor there
was much criticism of his full use of the
pardoning power. There has been the
same criticism of Governor Aycock.
Whenever this criticism is directed at a
particular case, it is proper and compe-
tent, for the Governor ought to be criti-
cized when man is pardOned when IT
is not clear that it is necessary exer-
else CT executive clemency. The Roanoke
Chowan Times, referring to the criticisms
that have been made says:
1--WE see there is disposition in some
quarters to criticise Governor Aycock
on account of the frequent use of the
pardoning power, but those who criticise
Him on that account have failed to point
on. any case where he pardoned some
one who ought not to have been par
doned. We heartily approve of Governor
Aycock's acts of mercy along this line.
1t appears to us that he gives every
application for pardon most serious con-
sidoration, and no act of his has caused
us to distrust him.
The Times is correct in saying that
the Governor gives to every application
for pardon most serious consideration.
He gives it also conscientious considera-
ton though we are inclined to believe
that. like Vance, he inclines to the use
OF the pardoning power too freely. How
ever, we are frank to say that we have
not examined the cases or known OF an
improper use of the power, and therefore
have refrained from criticism.

THE APPALACHIAN PARK.

The news from Washington is very
encourag ing to the establishment OF the
Appalachian Park and Forest Preserve.
The North Carolina delegation in Con-
gress will work actively and earnestly
for it's establishment, and will be Joined
by the delegations from the other Southern
States. Mr. Wilson, Secretary of Agri
culture, is one of the most enthusiastic
advocates Of the park and says the plan
will certainly be adopted if the Southern
Congressional delegation press the mat
ter actively. In his report to Congress,
Mr.. Wilson says:
''The region containing the proposed
Appalachian Forest reserve was ex
amined in cooperation with the United
States geological survey. The forest of
$500, 900 acres was mapped, the land
classified and a careful study was made
of the forests. The result of this ex-
animation will be embodied in a report
dealing with a suitability of this region
for the purpose of National Forest re-
serve, the cost of such a reserve to the
Government, and the good which would
result from it's careful and conservative
management. The creation of the pro-
posed reserve is, in my judgment, urgent
in order to maintain a greatly impaired
supply of timber, and to provide ma
tional recreation ground which, with the
single exception of the Adirondacks will
be readily accessible to a greater num-
Der of people than any other forest
region in the United States. believe
that these considerations render the pur-
chase by the Federal Government of the
proposed reserve in the Southern APP
palachians desirable in every way"
