While Governor Shaw was in the
executive chair of Iowa he issued par
dons to 473 prisoners. Among these
were men guilty Of offenses against
women, to the number Of IS; some
form Of fraud. 20; manslaughter a:
forgery. IS; perjury, 5; embezzlement,

extending OF freedom to 12s convicted
Of burglary. robbery or larceny. A
peculisrity Of these pardons was that
they were made in secret and the
records kept from the press. The re-
leases in the cases OF more than 20 per
cent are said to have been a com
plete surprise and in many instances
to have excited strong protest There
can be no question but the pardoning
power is often abused. and there will
be little question but this mistake was
made by Governor Shaw. II the work
Of the courts is TO be undone by the
executive power, considerable effort is
wasted in the effort to maintain the
judicial machinery. Courts as a rule
are not unduly severe. The hope Of
checking crime lies in the possibility
Of furnishing the criminal The chance

moves from society one Of its neces-

turned loose by wholesale the affair
becomes concern Of other communi-

Of Governor shaw's clemency was due
to the fact that the men released did
not go back to their accustomed
haunts. Where did they go? Probably
a large portion have since visited

MupDLEp AND NUpDLED.

In recent poem not complimentary
to the land OF his birth, Kipling wrote
either OF muddllng oafs or OF nuddled
OATS. Contention has arisen as 10 eX-
actly what he meant Humanity
yearns to know whether the English
oaf is muddlea or nuddled.
That an oaf is muddled is plain,
reasons the Tacoma Ledger. The very
fact that he is muddled causes him
to be an oaf The oaf might as well
have been called an idiot. except that
the measure OF the poem required few
er feet just st the stage where the cat
appeared.
Kipling does not say commonplace
things. Nothing could be more COM
monpIace than the assertion that the
oaf is nudiled. and there
fore, the chances are that he described
this unfortunate being as nuddled. FOR
nuddIed is a rare word It IS just the
sort of word that would cause the
Kipling soul to thrill OF delight, \
few have had the pleasure os seeing
It in print. and s,lu fewer knowing
