The KimbaIl Pardon.


When John F. Kimball's pardon was
announced here last week, great deal
suf interest was manifested as to the
means by which il was brought about.
The HERALD undertook to find out and
called up Gen. r. l.. Bates OF Bennington,
Gov. McCulloughs secretary of civil
and military affairs. In response to
questions, Gen. Bates gave the informa-
| tion printed in last weeks issue. he
stated that a petition consisting of
"several pages" OF names was presented,
praying for the pardon, and that numer-
Gus letters were received Of like tenor.
The HERALD had curiosity to know
who signed this petition (since careful in
quiry here had failed to find anyone who
knew about such documentl and also to
! learn who wrote letters in favor OF the
pardon. Ii therefore addressed Gen.
Bates, asking for this information. Yes
terday a reply was received stating that
aGov. Mccullough received many letters
in respect to the application for a condi-
tional pardon to Mr.. Kimball. Many LETT
ters favored the granting OF executive
clemency to him, and many did not. All
letters in respect to the application are
now on file here but no petition was ever
presented to the governor, that is to my
knowledge Gov. Mccullough simply
acted with the best light before him and
as to him seemed best"
So il seems the petition has dropped out
OF sight. Perhaps Gen. Bates was mistak-
en- in the first place, but the HERALD GER
tainly recollects his words. 1t has been
reported here that petition was circulat-
ed on the west side of the state, among
persons who knew nothing Of the case.
Gov. Mccullough did receive some let
ters from here, and the wonder about town
is that with the facts that were easily at
his command he should see fit to issue the
pardon.
w. w. Banister, who has been interest
ing himself in the fate of unhappy culprits
from this vicinity, states that through his
efforts the case OF John w. Adshed, who
was sent to the House of Correction a
short time ago to serve years sentence
for furnishing liquor to F. z. Lashway, |
was brought tc the attention OF Gov. Nc |
Cullough and Adshed was pardoned Sat- |
urday. Mr. Banister has also relieved the |
congested condition of Chelsea jail by |
securing the release Of Arthur Luck, the
alleged bank check forger, on bail reduced |
from Il 200 to $500, and of Burt Fisher and
Ethel Waters, whose bonds were lowered |
from Il 600 to 5000.

The Question Of OwAershtp.
There Is not q word more difacult to
define than the word Ownership" We
own . thing only UP to that point
where 1t appears that some one else
owns 1t more than we do-that is to
say, has q larger claim upon 1t than
we have. - About human owner
ship there Is something very indeter-
inmate. something slightly visionary.
1t denotes something relative. not
something absolute. . God owns.
and owns absolutely; no one else
does. All ownership but Gods owner
ship is an attempt to translate q divine
prerogative on to human ground and
to work it simply SO far AZ 1t II work
able. Any human ownership Is eter-
nally invalid If maintained In disregard
Of the authority, law and holy will OF
him who owns absolutely.-Rev. DR..

Spirit of the Gospel.
The New Testament in its presenta-
ton Of the teaching Of Christ ID char
acterized by nothing 30 clearly and ab-
solutely as those qualities which We
In our day call the scientific spirit.
Tolerance, readiness to give full value
to actual truth, steadiness to the veri-
fable and the real, adaptation to in
creasing knowledge and, most OF all,
completeness of understanding Of man
everywhere. are the visible elements Of
the method Of Jesus Christ. There II
today no saner or more scientific or
human Interpretation Of life and con-
duct than that Of Jesus, and yet 1t IL
centuries old. There Is no finer insight
into the moods of the heart than that
which flows from the mind Of Christ,
and yet it was old before psychology
was dreamed of. There Is no theory
of social life that is more inclusive or
Just than that of Jesus, and yet It was
formulated before there was In any
proper sense social consciousness.
The spirit Of Christ's teaching Is In
the fullest sense the scientific spirit.
But, In contrast with much that II
called the scientific attitude. 1t keeps
to its serene Interpretation Of those
basal elements Of human life and char
acter which are not subject to varia-
ton. but are always expressive Of the
Life problems Of the world.-Rsv. Dr.
