GRANTING CHRISTMAS PARD0Ns.
a mild protest has been raised because
Coy. Bell granted pardons to three men
as Christmas presents; but there is lit
tie cause for criticism. The practice
Of granting pardons BY chief executives
at this period, when good cheer il sup
posed to reign, is Iong-established and
Vermont is not the only state in the
union to follow up the idea. Each year
at Christmas time the governor selects
3 few Of the most meritorious Of the
inmates Of the penal institutions and
grants them pardons, the most Of which
are conditional on good behavior, While
opposed to the thoughtless liberation Of
prisoners, on the request Of their friends
simply and for no reason Of merit on
the part of the prisoners themselves,
we confess that these Christmas pardons,
judiciously given out, are well made. In
the practice lies strong agency towards
the discipline Of the inmates Of our penal
institutions. There is to the persons
serving sentences for various misdemean-
ors, a certain and powerful incentive to
good behavior, for they realize that with
the coming Of the Christmas season
someone is to be made glad with release
from the imprisonment. The prisoners
know that their conduct is closely
watched by the officials and that their
chances for pardon are dependent upon
their department So there is the spur
to good behavior And the result in
promoting the discipline Of the insti-
tutions is considerable.
In granting three pardons recently,
Coy. Bell has followed very conserya-
tive course. None Of the three was SEN
fenced for an offence more serious than
burglary, and two Of them, Thomas Lam
bert and George Haley, who were releas-
ed Saturday, had nearly completed their
terms. Thus it will be seen that the
governor has not made wild move in
pardoning these three men. Probably
no person in the places from which they
we're sentenced could raise any great
objection to his action and probably
would not We have no doubt that Gov.
Bell acted advisedly in the matter, lest
he lay himself liable 70 the criticism
that was his predecessors. And in this
connection, il II interesting 70 note that
while Gov. Bell granted three pardons,
the governor Of Texas granted 27, a
large number TO persons serving long
sentences and some Tor committing muir
der.
