THE PARDoNING POWER.

Hard as IL may seem 10 relatives or
tie condemned men. the Governor has done
exactly the right thing in declining to in
terfere with the execution of Jackson and
Copenhaver. The pardoning right is vested
in the Governor in order that innocent men
may be saved, If evidence proving their in
nocence shall be discovered between the
time OF passing sentence by the court and
the execution. 1t was never intended that
the Governor should either constitute him
self court of review of the criminal SEN
tence passed by the regularly organized
courts, that he should listen to appeals
on purely sentimental grounds. Others
beside the prisoner suffer, of course. That
is the hard part of justice, but nobody has
ever discovered how it can be avoided and
justice still be done. 1t is an open secret
that England. Germany. France. and in
fact all the countries we count as in our
class exact better obedience to the law
the effort on the part of the criminal to
obtain delay clemency or escape alto
gether through either influence or senti-
ment or both-and all too frequently this
effort is successful at some point And
when 1t is a capital offense the Governor
is always the last resort, and the friends
of the prisoner do not in the least hest
tate not merely TO approach him, but to
make life a burden to him with pleadings
and sometimes even with threats.
One man of more sentiment than judg-
ment in the Governors Office. like the late
Governor Chase. can do more harm by in
culcating the notion among the criminal
dlasses that justice can always be defeated
in the end through the pardoning power.
than can be repaired by ten successors who
do not let their hearts run away with their
heads. The constant effort of civiliza-
ton has been to so educate and elevate
humanity that the savage Instincts of
violence and crime will be repressed, but
nobody has yet discovered anything so ef-
fective in prevention of crime as it's strict
punishment.

ART MUSEUM PLANS.
Committee Discusses Suggestions for
Proposed Heron Building.

The Indianapolis Art Association consid-
cred two sets of plans for the proposed
Heron Art Museum building at its last
meeting. A letter was received from the
Benjamin Harrison memorial committee
stating that the committee had decided not
to consider further the plan OF using the
memorial fund for joint memorial build
ing. The committee, therefore. devoted it's
time 10 the other set OF plans. which con-
templates a building for the Heron Art
Museum to cost about S150.0O0. No decision
was made. Another meeting Will be held
in a few days. at which matters Of detail
will be decided.
The style OF the museum, IL the latter set
OF plans are adopted. will be the refined
and classic Italian renaissance with a
strong Greek tendency The building will
be of Indiana oolitic limestone. The art
museum will be set at a distance of 100
feet from Sixteenth street. forty feet from
Pennsylvania street, forty feet from Tai
bot avenue and sixty feet from the north
the building and Sixteenth street will be
a grand plaza. filling In the entire area
between Pennsylvania street and Talbot
avenue At the east and west ends will
be high columns. The plaza Is TO be en-
tered from three streets by steps The
entire space Will be treated in a richly
decorative, architectural style. sculp-
tural hall, a lecture ROOM nine picture gall
leries. schoolrooms and administrative Of
fees will be features OF the building.

MR.. BRYCE's MISTAKE.

In the very lively discussion OF the
tariff question which occurred in the Brit
ish House of Commons on Tuesday night
Hon. James Bryce. a Liberal leader. said
that no argument could be drawn from the
United States in favor of protection. as the
prosperity of this country was mainly due
to the fact that free trade prevails be-
tween all the States of the Union. The
statement shows that man may be very
learned in many fields and a great histo-
rian. and yet be poor political economist
The author Of 1.-The American Common
wealth has studied legislation and social
conditions in this country to little purpose il
he thinks its prosperity is due mainly to the
fact that free trade exists among the States
of the Union. True. that is an important fac
tor in the general prosperity, and one that
Americans would not think of changing,
but Mr.. Bryce implied that our prosperity
was wholly due TO that fact and that pro-
lection had had nothing to do with it,
AS matter of fact both causes operate
from different directions and on different
lines to the same end. Perhaps 1t would be
safe to say that neither one alone could
have made this country the most prosper
Gus one in the world. The trainers of the
Constitution did wonderfully wise thing
when they provided for free trade among
the States, but they were no wiser in their
day and generation than the statesmen
of a later school who adopted the policy
of protection against the pauper labor and
| cheap products of foreign countries. Free
| trade among the States could never alone
have developed American manufactures
and have established and maintained the
| high standard of American wages and liv-
ing. To accomplish this it was necessary
that free trade among the States be sup
plemented by protection against countries
and peoples where entirely different social
| conditions and standards of wages and liv-
| ing prevail. Americans do not need pro-
lection against Americans, but they do
| need it against poorly fed, poorly clothed
| and poorly housed workmen of other coun-
| tries. AS President Roosevelt said in one
| of his speeches, the object of protection is
| to defend American workmen from COM
living is lower. Free trade between the
| States of the Union could never have ac-
complished that as long as American
workmen were unprotected against the de-
| grading and unfriendly competition of pau
per labor in all other countries Mr.. Bryce
and those Of his way of thinking look only
half way around the question.

NEGLEY HAS NOT REPLIED
NO TRUTH IN STORY THAT HE HAS
ANSWERED LEAGUES LETTER.
Statement Made to Reporter Twisted
Into a Reply to the League-Expert
COOns's Work.

Chairman Harry E. Negley, Of the Coun-
ell committee appointed to investigate the
books of City Clerk Elliott, has made no
reply to the Citizens League regarding the
communication he received Tuesday pur-
porting to be from the league An after
noon paper unfriendly to Mr.. Elliott made
the statement that Mr.. Negley had sent
an answer to the league. The only basis
for the statement that Mr. Negfey,
in answer to questions from the reporter,
said:
THE committee declines to outline any
procedure, further than the examination
of the records in the clerks office until
such examination has been completed by
Mr.. Coons."
The letter, which is said to have been
written by members of the executive COM
mittee of the league. came to Mr. Negley
under such circumstances that he could
give IL no official attention. 1t was type
written, the sheet of paper on which it
was written bore no letter head, the names
Of the signers were typewriter and Ii was
delivered to Mr.. Negley by a messenger
Fifteen minutes after the messenger
placed ii in Mr.. Negley's hands, the In
dianapolis News called him up and wanted
to know what he was going TO do about il
1t is said on good authority that expert
Coons. who Is going over Mr. Elliott's
books, Is finding nothing which justifies the
charges made against the city clerk.

MECHANICAL VOTING.

1t is difficult to overestimate the impor-
lance of the action of the County Commits
sioners in ordering a number of voting
machines for the next city election. Our
liberties must ultimately rest upon the
ability of the people to express their senti-
ments at the polling place and have their
votes counted as they are cast. The in
PRODUCTION of mechanical counting o.
votes comes as the most radical and thor
ough reform of our voting methods in the
direction of full and free expression of the
popular will that we have yet known, not
even excepting the Australian ballot sys-
tenn. The new plan. If any proper safe
mean that no system of marked ballots can
be carried out, and this will mean that the
only way to buy votes will be to bride men
OF the opposing party to refrain from vot-
ing. 1t will mean an end to the business
OF corrupting election boards, for the INA
be changed until unlocked by the general
returning board. Furthermore, 1T will mean
immediate returns from the polling places
when the voting is finished. and this in it
self will prove very great preventive
to fraud. There will be no more holding
back of a few precincts to see whether
or not they are needed by the party in con-
troll of the election machinery. Our cleo
tons have improved vastly during the
past decade. With mechanical voting in
general vogue may confidently look
forward to the reduction of corruption of
the popular franchise to a minimum

THE BRITISH TARIFF DISCUSSION.

The generally accepted American notion
of our English cousin is that he clings
hard ard fast to traditions; that the ma
chinery that was good enough for his
fathers factory is good enough for him.
and that he is altogether too slow and
conservative to accept any new methods
or fall in with any new ideas. Never was
there a more fatal mistake. Every Ameri-
can manufacturer that goes after British
competition in the neutral fields abroad
understands perfectly well that he has a
difficult proposition TO deal with. The
Englishman Is a great fellow to grumble
and sheer. and he seldom does anything in
a hurry. but he is a very alert individual
and in the foreign field we can learn fully
as much. IL not more. from him than he
can from In the matter of financing
commerce carried on at distance we can
go to school 10 him for several years yet
and there are many other details OF trade
ing superior to ours. His slowness in these
matters usually proves 10 be nothing more
than n very proper conservatism born of
caution. and when he finally determines on
a new plan he usually pursues it with vigor
and admirable persistency.
With proper understanding OF the Brit
ish character 10 start with. the present
agitation in England or the subject of the
tariff must be viewed with the keenest
interest. British conservatism is strongly
opposed to any change. of course. but the
more progressive element notably Mr..
Chamberlain and his immediate followers,
